Take that dyslexia!

Today could have been better.

Having spent in excess of £3 in Moorland road McColl's (The Booze Buster) on: 4 pints of Full Fat Milk, Maryland Cookies (2 for £1.30 (I got the original and double chocolate chip varieties)) and the Guardian newspaper, I later found out I could have bought Woolworths for £1... and still have had enough money to purchase the cookies and the paper.

I have also heard 'Dakota' by Sterephonics twice; once on We7.com in the process of research for a presentation due tomorrow on peer-to-peer services and how they can become legitimate, and secondly, on Series 22: Episode 8, of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, which I was streaming in high quality from BBCiplayer.

This show was OK at best, immediately dousing what was left of the fire in my spirit, by telling me Bill Bailey "never felt comfortable" on the show. He seemed such a happy man.

Buzzcocks also featured Mitch Hewer of Britania High (and Skins) fame. I had also seen more than I liked of said show (Britannia High) watching Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, although Brooker was funny as ever. Simon Amstell's quip; "Take that dyslexia!", was a brighter moment, although did little to salvage the show which was now exuding through a layer of tediousness into complete monotony.
