How to irritate people in the UK

It is a wonderful pastime in the UK, queuing. We are great at it, but this surely is a step too far. It is frustrating at the moment to be stuck behind someone who can’t remember their PIN number, or someone who is trying all their accounts to find one that isn’t overdrawn and so will cough up the cash. But to be able to play games, print photos and so forth would push the normal Brit reserve over the edge.

Cold Tea Again

Just in case you never read the sidebar of this ‘ere blog, you may have not noticed that Cold Tea Again is back and running, or being blogged to. Basically this is my ‘more’ cynical take on things from around the world. I’ll get around to a redesign soon, although currently I am suffering from ‘one-hour-less-at-the-weekend-really-throws-my-body-into-a-mess-itus’.

Life is really busy and losing the hour in order to make the evenings brighter hasn’t so far been the positive event it should have been. I’ve been trying to nap of evenings but at the moment getting up an hour earlier each day is taking its toll; British Summertime Lag.

If you want to know what I am doing you can follow it on Twitter, another new way to express thineself on t’internet, and via my sidebar – see it is a very important part of this blog. As is the title, which I shall be working on over the weekend :-)

Blog Death threat, the meme to follow

Ok, what has happened is totally out of order, I mean when have people been threatened for saying what they think? Is free speech dead? Oh yea, it always has been if you don’t say what is socially acceptable.



What is worrying about this post on the BBC site (and before you complain I read Kathy’s blog and think she is a wonderful blogger and death threats are totally out of order) is the comment that bloggers are doing their own investigation. Can you imagine it, within days we’ll have a meme doing the blogosphere rounds



1 Tell me 5 things about you know one knows

2 What drugs have you taken

3 How many times have you had sex in the last week

4 Have you recently sent a death threat to a fellow blogger



After you have done this tag the local law enforcement agency
