So much to do so little time to do it. Can’t even make a cup of tea, have resorted to coca-cola instead – I am a corporate whore; sold-out to brand, just because need to stay alert and be awake.
I think come October, yep, come Sunday I am going to start a total life detox. I’ll keep you all informed as I go and what I am doing. That should keep you all riveted – don’t worry I’ll probably lose interest come Monday. However am going to attempt it, and by total life I mean all aspects – ha ha the committment of a fool 
Anyway back to work before my Desk Editor gets very dangerous with a letter opener.

Woohoo. Have found someone else to host my web empire
Not only do they accept cheque or paypal to pay – the issue with my previous host – but they are also offering a slightly better package for less money. Hopefully they wont crash the first time it runs. I’ll tell you who they are once I get going but in the meantime I am very pleased with their response – online sale chat last night sorted out all my questions.
Now all I need to do is trnasfer all my domain names – hah what fun. All day meetings today so will feel shattered by the end of the day without feeling that i have achieved anything. Thanks to Katy I’ve been looking into GTD (Getting Things Done) have found several sites and also some interesting stationary (I like stationary) I’ll tell you about this if it helps organise me and help me to finally get things done rather than have things half finished around the place.

OK, here it is. The link to the book that is topping my Christmas list this year. As seen on Jonathan Ross. I have linked to the image rather than the book beacuse if you can’t find it on Amazon you’ve probably been in one too many half-nelsons.
The grapple manual
This looks like a great book. Not only is it put together by my all time pre-pubescent hero Kendo, but it also has a foreward by Mr World of Sport, Dickie Davies – you don’t get names like that anymore. My only fear is that to make sure that the book sells they’ve added Hulk Hogan to the cover – now I am sure he never grappled with the likes of Mick Mcmanus and Giant Haystacks – hopefully he just has a footnote saying he existed. And so I look forward when I can open the pages and gaze longingly at Shirley Crabtree and Mr Nagasaki once again. I may even sit down especially on Saturday afternoons and relive my childhood.

Ok, I am a child of the 80’s and as such I have to tell you about Ladytron. If you haven’t heard about them before head over here and have a listen and watch of their new single You Destroy Everything You Touch. It is fantastic (no arguments) and you should all buy it! The video is reminiscent of Monkey on Mogadon (is that the right barbituate?) and the sound is everything Steve Strange could have been if only he had listened to Billy Currie and Midge Ure, and if he had had a very painful operation. Anyway the track is great, we’re all listening and watching it in our house. We haven’t been this unified since the new series of Dr Who started.
PS Did anyone see Jonathan Ross on Friday, not only did he have nostalgia aplenty when Simple Minds played but he also plugged the Kendo Nagasaki book? I feel like the world is a better place to live in.

Been thinking a bit more about the way the press has been dealing with Kate Moss and the big fuss it has caused. It then got me thinking about ‘role-models’ and how we idolise them and so on. This led me to the other hot news topic at the moment Mr Wayne Rooney. He is being condemned in some, well most, areas of the press for setting a bad example to young kids with his on-field, and sometimes off-field, antics. I can’t help but think, hey this guy is only 19 (20 next month). When I think of all the things I used to get up to at 19 I am surprised that all he did was applaud in the face of Kim Milton Nielson…
Has anyone else noticed the resemblance between Kim and Ryan Stiles? Both seem to have extremely long necks, or should that be small heads, which emphasise the neck – biatch
Anyway my point is that we make these people into role-models when they are still only very young and ’shouldn’t know better’. We only have ourselves to blame. I myself am continuinly messing things up and yet does that mean I shouldn’t venture forth into the wide world incase someone copies me? No! We all make mistakes so get over it, accept it and simply try to do better next time. I think some guy back in Judea about 2000 years ago said something similar. He was, however, quite a good role model by all accounts, and what did we do to him?
