Billboards

James Holden recently did this wonderful site, enabling everyone to get in on the act of writing bendy bus slogans of their own to go alongside the Atheists' ones.

Here are my personal favourites again:-









Well, now it seems that these anti-terror billboards have now come under his wing, too:-





Here. Have a go yourself. Make sure you save the pics to some other server, though. Don't hotlink to the site.

It's Her Loss

So today, I went to A4e, and asked this girl I know there if she would like to have a cup of coffee with me at lunch today.

And she said that her problems, revealed to us all yesterday, were in hand now, and there really was no need for such a chat.

Her loss. It was just going to be a cup of coffee.

But if she tries to talk to me, flirt with me, come on with the badinage with me at any time between now and June 26th, she will discover the consequence of her game playing.

I don't play games. From now, I'm all business, until I get another job or my contract with A4e runs out and I'm back on the market for a job.

I am happy in my own skin, thank you very much. And, from what she told me over the few weeks we've known each other, I was under the impression that she was not; and that she needed a friend to talk to. Even someone to be involved with.

Perhaps she will find someone. Perhaps I will find someone.

But I do know that I can cope with being alone a hell of a lot better than she can, or ever will.

In the meantime, I submitted my design for a DVD cover to the Hightown Communities First group, running from Luke O'Connor House, an establishment literally right next door to where I live. When I showed them my effort, they were quite impressed, and in fact they have accepted the design on their DVDs - they have started printing a thousand copies of the cover for their DVDs for distribution to the community.

Here is the DVD cover, reproduced in JPG form.



And yes, my volunteer work for the community will now go onto my CV. I'm hoping that they will complete work on their website, so that I shall be allowed to maintain it as they have promised. (It's far better to have someone volunteer his time to run the website than to pay someone to do the job, after all - as long as I can declare such on my CV, to interest prospective employers, I don't care either way).

Oh. And Sunday next, things will be happening all over the shop. I'm visiting the folks on Sunday, but only briefly - there's a Mind / Body / Spirit event in Mold which I hope to attend (even if only briefly) and then it's back to the flat for Sunday night.

I will keep this blog further apprised as the time draws near.

Happy Birthday!

It happens to be weaver42's birthday today. Many Happy Returns, Chuck!
