A Sunday Implodes

ITEM! Oh, how wonderful - we just had a gas-leak alert this evening, screwing a whole bunch of stuff up, and I'm still smelling... something despite the all-clear. If you don't see me post again, well, there you go...

(A thought: maybe something died and fell down the chimney?)

ITEM! AARRGGHH - and there's that sodding poker website advert, with a guy strolling around the streets playing poker on his phone... and he DOESN'T fall flat on his front, arsing up his ankle and elbow, as happens IN REAL LIFE. According to the statistics in a trailer for a Channel 4 cancer benefit show coming soon, you stand a ONE IN TEN chance of tripping whilst texting.

ITEM! Oh fucking brilliant, and just to make the day complete: RGIII picked up a minor concussion courtesy of the still-unbeaten Falcons and a really shitty playing surface at FedEx Field.

Update ITEM! But there is a plus - I have actually remembered which email account stuff from eBay, and found that I have actually received my refund - just a few days after the item was sent back. Sorry. Criticism retracted, effective immediately.

Update ITEM! And another minus: I missed a ITEM!UO event because of the "gas leak", and there was a possibly valuable item given away (I think)...
