 I've managed to achieve the epitomy of laziness in website design, and I'm rather proud of myself for it. On my pictures page I've added categories system. Every time I add a new set of pictures, I assign it to one or more categories, and then the index page and RSS feed for that category is automatically rebuilt to include the new set. What I then realised, thanks to the magic of RSS, is that I can actually include susbsets of my pictures on other sites. So now, given that there's a Chie category, Chie's site [chiesan.com], which had previously remained dormant for ages now gets automatically updated every time I add a new set of pictures to my site that Chie appears in. So Chie has her own site, totally relevant to her, which saves her friends and family wading through a load of stuff that isn't relevant to them, which is updated automatically with basically zero effort.

 Indeed. That goes for the legal system too. When I get a court summons (for the previous bloke), I usually phone the court to tell them his new address. Guess what they usually say? Is it "Thank you sir for helping us locate this miscreant"? or perhaps "What a helpful gentleman you are"? But - no - they tend to say things like "Could you put that information in writing, please ... I'm unable to deal with it at the moment, and everybody else has gone to lunch". Well, no I bloody well can't put it in writing ... that's not my responsibility at all, is it? And these people are supposed to be assisiting some unfortunate rip-off victim with the recovery of his cash or goods. 'tis a sad, sad world, full of red tape and people who don't care (despite that fact that it's their job to care). Oooohh, it's enough to make one rant ...

 And that's another thing. I'm still getting letters through my front door for the bloke who used to live in my house ... which would be OK except they're mainly from debt-collection agencies. I got one which wasn't even addressed to *him* but the "The occupier" which was chasing a debt on behalf of British Gas. When I phoned them up, they assured me that I really did owe them money. It was only after a lot of phoning around that I was able to discover that the debt belonged to the (aforementioned) previous bloke. Now I found that irritating, but what if I was some old codger with a few marbles gone, eh? I might well have paid the bugger's debt. These companies are really not interestd what happens to people at all. I think it is socially irresponsible. C'mon, even John has to agree with me on this one!

Jimmy

 Fine question. I don't think they're really a Halloween item. They're more a Thanksgiving thing...and we like to put out our decorations for sale way in advance. You can probably find Halloween stuff now in stores and Christmas decorations by November 1st. I guess some might think scarecrows are...scary? It doesn't make sense. But it's American.

 Yea, people sort of celebrate Halloween, but there's no day off work for it... Then of course we have Guy Fawkes' night shortly after that, but again, no day off. Clearly whoever makes up the calendar seems to think they can fob us off with bobbing for apples and the odd firework around the start of November, and we won't notice the vacuous drought of proper days off in the final quarter of the year.

 I have just learnt a brilliant lesson for how to put down rich arrogant people. After they've told you how great their house, car, swimming pool etc is, simply ask them if they've got a telly in every room. They'll probably say no (but that is irrelevant), to which you simply respond "How quaint". Apparently it works every time.

 Jill, what a good idea. It WILL be your last chance. Why not make it four, round figures are so much nicer.

 I've just scheduled in another hen night - so now I'm having three! Might as well - be my only chance!
Jill

 I've just had a cup of earl grey and now I feel sick... That'll teach me for using an anonymous mug.
John

 Well congratualtions anyway Jill! Mrs Brown... isn't that a film with Billie Connolly in...?
John
- Wed Aug 6 10:11:35 2003

 Good idea! If you change your mind at the last minute you can make a quick escape - and keep the presents!
mad mumsie
- Tue Aug 5 16:32:52 2003

 It has to be done now - I don't want to have to give back the presents! Anyhow, it will be good fun, I'm getting married in a Train Station!

 From one Jill to another - DON'T DO IT!! another good woman gone west.

 The one on Saturday was simply a practice one. Just in case I don't get the real one right! Anyway, Andy is having a whole weekend rather than a Stag night (scarily in Nottingham), which I think is just greedy. A month tomorrow I'll be Mrs Brown.
Jill

 Jill... You're having more than one hen night...? Isn't that tantamount to bigamy...?
John

 Yes the wand. The pink wand that goes brrrrrrrrring. Now imagine that want teamed with a viking helmet, teamed with 6 bottle of cava and at least four bottles of white wine, between three of us. And that was just the practice.

 Not THE wand?!
Rusty

 Well I caused many brawls on Saturday night by being very drunk in Central London and having a viking helmet on and a magic wand. I apparently told multiple people to "go away" and I have grazed knuckles, scabby knees, and a hazy recollection of chasing pigeons in Hyde park. I have stopped drinking until the next hen night.

 I was nicely booze soddened on Saturday night. So much so that I didn't care about the night bus being nothing more than a moving brawl... to say nothing of the 14 police officers and their oh-so-subtle methods of crowd calming... and the witness statements we were forced to give... or the fact that I didn't get home till well past 5... Mmmm.
Rusty

 This weekend is turning out to be quite sinfully boozey for me. I'd only just recovered from my Friday night excess induced hangover yesterday when I started drinking again at my friend Gav's party, and then, thinking I'd have a quiet night in this evening to compensate I received a call a short while ago informing me I'm going to a barbeque, where, undoubtedly, more beer will have to be consumed. Bugger.

 Haw haw! I was out on the lash last night! Would have been better if Kate was there!

 You lucky bastards. I'm at the in-laws' house. No alcohol to be found...well, none I have permission to tap. Damn you all.

 Mine was mild... more painful guts than anything... from this point onwards Real Ale shall be considered a 'bad option'.
Rusty

 How's the hangover?
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 16:52:47 2003

 I have had one bitch of a hangover this morning, surprise, surprise.
John
- Sat Aug 2 14:35:41 2003

 Or, more likely, you don't realise because you've passed out in a puddle of piss at the bottom of some stairs... or something
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 02:51:59 2003

 You realise it's almost 3am
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 02:50:51 2003

 My wrist hurts.
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 02:50:17 2003

 The problem is, Monday morning, the rest of them will just carry on as normal.
John
- Sat Aug 2 02:43:40 2003

 No thanks. I've already eaten.
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 02:39:58 2003

 Beer.
John
- Sat Aug 2 02:24:16 2003

 Apparently so...
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 02:21:51 2003

 I'm certainly not awake. Errr... Doh.
John
- Sat Aug 2 02:17:27 2003

 Awake? No.
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 02:05:10 2003

 Russ... are you still awake...? I can barely type!

 John you drunken whore! You swore! You wrote filth! You... I'm gabberflasted... or something.
Rusty
- Sat Aug 2 01:18:55 2003

 Come on you reprobates, where are you all....? Don't go pretending you're in bed or something...
John

 Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to announce that I am quite spectacularly drunk, and also have quite irritating hiccups (which I believe are correctly spelt hiccoughs, although that sounds a bit ponsy.).
John

 I had one of those mugs that keeps your beer cold. But I broke it, by forgetting to freeze it upside down. It was a good one too, it had funky crystals in it, rather than just water. And I can't go back to SeaWorld in Orlando to get another one (well I could, but it would be a bit expensive).
Graf

 I have one of those mugs.

 Last month's messages, in case you wanted to see them for any reason.
John

 Oh yeah, Happy new month everyone!

 The nerdiness rating could only be increased by you drinking coffee instead of beer, out of one of those insulated mugs that keep it hot for ages.
