"If you keep playing with it it'll fall off!" - that's what my mother always told me - was she happy when it finally did one day at Llandudno beach? Of course not... we never did see aunt Eileen's prosthetic leg again after watching it float away across the waves. Aunt Eileen never forgave me for losing what was one of her favourite appendages, I guess she had become quite attached to it over the years.

After work today I stopped in B&Q, a place that is fast becoming my home away from home, and I found myself wondering if it's me or the world who's losing touch with reality? All I wanted was a new toilet roll holder - not the most exciting of purchases - but there you go. Anyway, I made my way to the relevant aisle to be greeted upon arrival by a range of ludicrous brand names ranging from 'Ultima' to 'Infinity'. I'm not entirely sure what the marketing angle is, but for a product whose sole purpose in life is to dispense toilet paper, a moniker like 'Infinity' just seemed a little ostentatious - then again with a £20 price tag I would be too. Really, who would pay that much for something that you hang a loo roll from?!

The question arose today of what exactly is the purpose behind my blog? Now I'm aware that most 'bloggers' are all about the wealth & the women, but I'd like to think that I'm in it for more than just the 'poon-tang' - but what exactly I am aspiring for I'm just not sure of yet.
I do know that one of the things that scares me the most about this whole blog thing is the 'report abuse' button that they've put at the top of the page. Seriously, if anything like that is going on, please just contact a helpline or a social worker - I'm really not qualified to help in such a scenario and I really have no idea where 'Blogger.com' got the impression that I am?!

I do have to question my commitment to posting a daily blog though - the only other thing that I've managed to keep up of recent is my alcoholism, a fact which is in itself a little depressing. Thankfully all it takes is another drink and I forget all about it. Anyway, so far my drinking hasn't had any significantly detrimental effects upon my health, and besides, I only have to make it to 34 to beat Jesus.
