I’m very tired today. Last night was one of those nights where you mean to go to bed at 10pm but end up sitting up chatting. I eventually retired with a copy of Stephen King’s “It” at 11.40 and didn’t turn over to go to sleep until quarter past midnight.
I was given a very rude awakening this morning after I forgot to hit the big red switch before jumping in the shower. Needless to say, 3 seconds of cold water all over me and I jumped back out fairly sharpish. Just one of those bleary eyed, not paying attention moments.
I see that Lloyds TSB has merged with (for that read taken over) HBOS group and that there are fears that the name “Bank of Scotland”, which is Scotlands oldest bank, will cease to exist. Such a shame. I can’t help but feel lucky to have left that company when I did as 24,000 job losses across Scotland are speculatively predicted in todays Herald.
You’ve got to love it though when the First Minister uses the term “spiv” in Parliament.
Given that the country is once again beginning to feel like it did under Tory rule in the late eighties/early nineties, I really did feel like it was 1990 again when I saw a massive ‘Fido Dido’ on the side of a bus this morning, advertising 7 Up.
What next, a “Cool Spot” video game for the XBOX? A new EMF album?

Yup, quickly followed by a long shaggy perm for me. Be afraid, be very afraid.
