    Crikey it's all happening in Winchester. We have dozens of police cars, armed police, sniffer dogs and the police chopper all out searching for someone.

    I went to the Cheers bar last year when I was over in Boston for the marathon. Nobody knew me from Adam. Come on song lyricists, pull the other one!

    I really don't believe in this Astrology stuff - no Gemini does.

    I know one should never be amazed by conspiracy theories, but sometimes one just jumps out at you, leaving your jaw broken and bruised on the floor. A high end furniture company in the US (where else) has had to deny being involved in child trafficking because it is believed that the reason their cupboards are so expensive is because they contain a kidnapped girl...this is borne out because their furniture ranges have girls’ names.

    They're showing the 2012 Olympic games opening ceremony on bbc1 at the moment. Oh how I miss those days of unity, rather than this divided mess of a country we live in now.

    Feeling kind of emotional

    Though emilie sande singing abide with me is as unsettling now as it was 8 years ago.

    Edit: The Olympic torch entering the stadium was truly a beautiful and wonderful moment, perfectly encapsulated by the ethereal sounds of Caliban's Dream.

    An Irishman and an Englishman walk into a bakery.

    The Englishman steals 3 buns and puts them into his pockets and leaves. He says to the Irishman, "That took great skill and guile to steal those buns. The owner didn't even see me."

    The Irishman replied, "That's just simple thievery, I'll show you how to do it the honest way and get the same results."

    The Irishman then proceeded to call out the owner of the bakery and says, "Sir, I want to show you a magic trick." The owner was intrigued so he came over to see the magic trick.

    The Irishman asked him for a bun and then he proceeded to eat it. He asked 2 more times and after eating them again the owner says, "Okay my friend, where's the magic trick?".

    The Irishman then said, "Look in the Englishman's pockets."

    I'd go back to 2012 if I could, it was such a wonderful summer and I say that despite being unemployed at the time . At least I can take consolation in the fact that I made the most of the once in a life time occurrence of the Olympics being in London. The day after the opening ceremony, I went up to Coventry for women's football then over the next couple of week, I went to quite a few events (it was really easy to get tickets when they went on general sale, cheap too so I'm surprised how many people I know didn't even try to get tickets after the initial lottery), the Olympic event at Hyde Park a couple of times and even saw both feeder and Amy macdonald at Hyde Park.

    Nice. Sounds like my 2005. Quit my job and went travelling. Beautiful summer.
    Summer soon ended once I got back though.
    Work work work.
