I was going to catch that Derren Brown show when it was on in Llandudno earlier this year but the tickets were stupid money and all the decent seats went straight away. I actually quite like the 'horse manure' bits, his shows wouldn't be the same without them.

Afternoon all. Had the flu all weekend, and thankfully it's still going into the week, so at least got today off college (no C++ programming for me today :-D), although it just means I have to catch up...

Going to watch that Derren Brown show tonight. Enjoy his shows, despite the amount of horse manure that's in them.

Same here now!

Up early again to crack on with my project. Looking nearly finished now so hoping my supervisors are happy with it. I'm quite excited at the fact that I am writing a scientific paper that should likely be published, which should look great on my CV. Also happy as it gives me the experience I need ready to start my dissertation in the next week or so...

I have a few bits and bobs I need to do (easier now I don't have Jeremy Kyle to distract me...I swear that program is just a modern version of the colleseum...) and then off over to drop a card and present to one of my close friends.

I may, if time, try and finish off a few cases on L.A. Noire, a surprising good game!

Morning.

Well, I'm now glad I missed that poundland programme. Was playing Battlefield 3 (have to start from scratch as I've moved to PS3) instead.

Yeah, the Poundland programme was disappointing, thought they might have touched on what a shower of b******s they are to work for (apparently). Instead it was just some bloke waffling on about the fact you can get an extra 20g of chocolate spread by going to Asda, .....who cares? Also if you were already in Poundland and had to drive to Asda it would cost you more than you would be saving in fuel.

Wouldn't know, never been to Netto in my life, it just had a reputation. What a loss to the world.

Get Louis Theroux into Netto next time.

'How Ironic' ... "by 2011, the 193 Netto stores were sold and converted to Asda stores, Morrison's stores and UGO stores and on 30th September 2011, Netto UK ceased trading."

He'll have a job, SC ;¬)

Glad to know your dog is ok, I like dogs more than most people :'-)

Watched the poundland show, seemed like a random half hour slot on advertising products in a particular way, which as far as I can tell, isn't just a 'poundland thing'. Really didn't feel like a well-crafted documentary at all. Get Louis Theroux into Netto next time.

Thanks pb and Pete. Was going to watch that thing on pound land but forgot t was on - may catch it on 4oD. We have just had one spring up in my home town, interesting to see it is the flagship store other than the new(ish) mighty tesco.

Was weird going in there, the staff don't seem professional (overheard one conversation between staff about her not knowing which one of 4 colleagues was the father of her future baby, another saying that "I'll have him in the staff room later, I expect it to be a blood bath" and a final one member of staff trying to make her uniform a crop top...). Would be interesting to see what other stores are like!

Edit: update on the dog, all is ok. He has some sort of anti-parasite spray. So very pleased as I pretty much was ready to say my goodbyes when they took him to the vet!

Well done on your 'GAD' Jason.
