It's 2.30 am and I'm currently flicking through some papers as we speak (though these forum distractions are slowing me down a bit!)

I never went to bed at all last night and left at 8.00am to sell a bit of stock. Actually feeling a bit jaded so I better get some more invoicing done and get the goods posted.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Here I am sitting at my desk at work. I am expecting another day slaving over a hot PC dealing with lots of customer complaints! No wonder i am looking forward to the weekend!

Oscar wilde was right! "Work is the curse of the drinking classes"!

You'll need more than coffee and ciggies to keep you awake!
