I am officially crap at Science
I don't know about other (real) jobs but in a lab (well my lab at least) you are allowed to swear really loudly when some thing goes wrong. Well today I did, I made a complete hash of an experiment. Spent all day doing it, two days setting it up and I completely ballsed it up because someone put me off. I'm not making excuses, because it was entirely my fault but it really pisses me off when someone makes a snidy comment when you are obviously stressed (as I was today). Gits. Unfortunately one of the people was a senior, respected academic so I couldn't just tell him to fuck off. The other one is a slimey little shite and I will tell him what I think of him next time I see him. Grrrrrrrr. Long story shorter I went home early and sulked. Also the corridor smelled of fish today (At work). I think it was TEMED. Yuk.
After sulking I went for a 6 mile run which was ok, tough on the 3rd mile which was up hill but after that i turned around towards home, those miles are aways much easier. It's just a pity the marathon doesn't start and finish at my house.
One a plus note our crap on eBay is currently selling for £159.70 and we are having a party tomorrow. It's for Kay's birthday and hopefully it will fill up our wine rack with left over bottles of wine. At the moment we have one bottle of pre-mulled wine.

Mmmm pre-mulled wine. Not exactly selling one of your parties is it? As long as you don't serve pre-digested snacks to go with it ... frightening thought and although I wish I hadn't had it, I now feel obliged to share it with you, so you can also wish i hadn't had it!
By the way, the posts from Thursday and Friday have only just appeared today (Saturday). Just thought you might want to know.

Can I just say how totally enthralled and impressed I am by the "Countdown to Marathon" actual ticking clock - I was like "Wow its actually ticking down" (I've been in the USA for a week, my braincells haven't had much of a workout - ooooooh get her!)

It doesn't take much to impress my wife .... must be why she agreed to marry me!! (Just thought I'd save you the bother of adding that one Ed)

We are therefore no longer impressed with the plagarist Ed, and transfer our state of being impressed to Phil

Lies! Libel! It was co-evolution of a solution to a common problem. Birds aren't related bats but they both fly! Grrrrrr. I'll get you Phil.

Phil - you rock!

Of course we all know that Ed doesn't steal things. After all he is a scientist and inhabits the ethical world unsullied by business. He merely took a concept (possibly suggested by some third party) and put an orange box round it.
