Townsend Disease Spreads

This morning, I went to open a new packet of delicious Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes and something strange caught my eye. At the top of the packet was this useful message:

Thanks for that Ian

I’m sorry, what sort of shit fact is this?

Why is Ian Wright saying it?

Did he do the study? No, I doubt he did.

Look at his cheeky face on that packet, you can tell he’s happy because of all the cash he is getting for lending his name to bullcrap.

I also noticed that there is a little asterisk (*) next to the message, I couldn’t be arsed to look for what this points to but I guess it is a small message at the bottom of the pack saying “NOT A FACT”.


Home Again

So 6 weeks later then……

Well, I never found the time to write anything here during my time working for Embassy, mainly because I have very little access to the net and I spent my time either teaching, planning lessons or working. When I wasn’t doing any of that I was sleeping, its been the first time in about 4 years that I have had to take mid-afternoon kips due to exhaustion. Still it was a good experience and I am happy I did it (the work, not the sleep).

The worst thing about the Runnymede experience was the food. Having been subjected to that slop for so long was really disheartening. So I was really looking forward to being able to cook up some of my favourite culinary delights, however I was greeted with this scene when I got home:

A big gap

The bloody cooker is gone.

So now I have to eat crappy TV dinners until my dad gets around to ordering a new one.
