| So, a meteorite is going to hit the Earth in 2019. Someone get the Holy Materia.... Anyway, the coverage of it reminded me that meteors are always measured in football pitches. That could mean lots of things, depending on which country you are in, given the huge amount of different versions of football there are. If they aren't measured in football pitches, they are measured in Wales. Not the animals, the country. This is also wrong because, as The West Wing reminded me recently, maps aren't usually accurate representations of a country's size. The Peter Projection maps make all the countries their actual size (well, scaled down, obviously), whereas other maps are biased towards the northern hemisphere countries, making them bigger, because most navigating went between Europe and America...or something like that. I got a C for my GCSE for Geography. |

| Remember, if you give a man a fire, you can keep him warm for a day. But if you set that man on fire, you keep him warm for the rest of his life. |
| If you go through life without emotion or feelings, then you are no better than a rock. Or a bank manager. |
| Everyone has the ability of making someone happy, some by entering a room, others (like me, I must add) by leaving it. |
| Before you critisise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do critisise them, you are a mile away with their shoes. |
| Why are digestive biscuits called digestive biscuits? If they weren't digestive, they wouldn't be food. And what sort of biscuits aren't digestive? The type that you throw up? |
| If a deed is good news for other people, does it matter how selfish the motives of the person who did the deed are? |

| After saying ages ago on the Sephiroth page that Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights was a good programme, Channel 4 suddenly started showing repeats of the first series, and the second series is coming in the next couple of weeks. Co-incidence? |

| My complaining about being unpopular has sort of been undermined by me winning the Big Brother competition in my form. The first to be evicted was Woody, then Anna, Klamath walked, so Piero took over from him, Chris Lander went next, then Marc, then Karen, then Katherine. So, the final was between me, Marek, Piero and Wiktoria, and the voting public was represented by all those who were evicted. And it has to be said, I won by quite a margin. I don't mean to be gloating. I think it was a fix. Marek came second, Wiktoria came 3rd, and Piero, the Head Boy, came 4th. This means I'll be a marked man if I'm in any future competition like this. Anyway, I also overheard someone saying nice things about me behind my back, too. So I'm gonna find it difficult to feel sorry for myself in the future. |

| Thought Seventy-Three talked about me having fashion sense. What I forgot in writing this drivel was the Unwritten Rule Of Life (which, ironically, I haven't written) that the only men who have fashion sense are gay men and black men. And I'm neither of those. |
