A study published in the latest issue of the Journal Of Social Sciences revealed that the amount of time spent being happy has dropped to an all-time low of 13 nonconsecutive seconds per day. “According to our data, the average person experiences a 0.8-second window of happiness upon awakening, before remembering that they’re conscious beings in a relentlessly bleak and numbing world,” said Dr. Derek Moore, lead author of the paper. “Other periods of happiness include 1.9 seconds after a good meal; 0.6 seconds upon receiving a paycheck; 1.1 seconds following completion of a scientific study; and the 2.5 seconds approaching orgasm, just before the guilt sets in.” Researchers also recorded the smallest period of contentment yet, a 3.7-millisecond interval preceding the realization that one was experiencing happiness and that it could not possibly last.

And the sound of a woman whining louder than the mower she is pushing.

Yes spring is truly here with the first cut of the season and Mrs Foggs first attempt at cutting it since 2004, yes that’s right, she ain’t mown in 6 years. Ooooh the hardship the toil, how unfair is the world and how cruel her hubby for laughing.

Just wait till I tell her for the third tine that she is not supposed to run over the electric cable!

Well here was we at the gadget show. stuffed ourselves silly and pleny of toys to see. So the question is, did Mrs Fogg keep Mr Fogg separated from his flexible fwend long enough? that’s his credit card for those of you with dirty minds!

Yup, it has taken the best part of a week of no information what so ever to finally be told that I have no job. Not surprised really, but a little communication would have been good (mind you there was no communication when the company was running normally).

After a week of knowing nothing, the entire building was told as of 12.36 today that they were out of work, thank you very much, bye bye.

Not sad, since it really wasn’t a good place to work, but I did meet some good people and managed to have a laugh. Now the joys of dealing with the snotty, straight from school, spotty yoofs at the Job Center imparting their pearls of wisdom on how to obtain a job.

See to all of you doubters I managed 1 yr and 9 months in this job and I didn’t quit! Ha.

Onwards and Upwards.

So we spent the day in London to see Peter Gabriel at the O2 arena (yup the biggest waste of tax payers investment ever!).

We saw him last around 2004 in Manchester and it was an amazing concert, shame then this was a let down 🙁

There was supposed to be no warm up act, so he came on stage to announce that he would be singing other peoples songs in the first half before doing his more traditional stuff, ah and he will be doing this with the “New Blood” orchestra, yey, woo. But to kick us all off here is a Norwegian warble woman who made Nana Maskouri sound tuneful.

So the orchestra weren’t bad, did we mention they were called “New Blood”? cos we kept getting told they were!! Peter Gabriel did about 40 minutes singing things by Bafly Drawn Boy, Morrisey and god knows who else, before proceeding to sing about 6 of his famous songs with his new orchestra (called New Blood), oh and warbly Norwegian bird joined him on some duets.

We like his songs, we loved the last concert, this however was a very poor substitute I’m afraid.

Oh well, we had a day trip to London, saw the crappy Dome without Tommy Cooper hats and the human body and enjoyed ourselves.

Do I sound less than impressed, well I am a little, I firmly believe you should have the right to a rebate if the act is not up to scratch, the same as you should get your money back if you see a rubbish film at the flicks
