Sorry   

Tired of Asians?

Honestly yes

I'm tired of dazzling urbanites.

I want to go out west, where I can tie one to the hood of my car and drive for hours before someone pulls me over.

Go to Alaska.

Go to Alaska.

Meh, that whole sunlight/darkness for months thing gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Pub Quiz tonight - I quite like their halftime game - it goes like this -

You have five historical events - and you guess the years and submit it on a sheet of paper -

It's the TOTAL added together that counts - so it rewards intelligent guessing.
You could, in theory, get all five dates wrong, but be closest to the total.  Free wine!!!

Thanks for reminding to badger my colleague to reserve a company table for the trivia night at the Aussie pub.

Currently in the jackpot (i.e. answering 20 questions correctly):


I'm usually there for history/geography, some sports questions, while the others focus on current events, celebrities and pop culture. Our best result was 16/20, though. And we still didn't win the weekly price.

/explains why the Russkis have the wrong skull. They were playing Hitler football with his skull after the fall of Berlin and lost the right one.

I'm beginning to think you have a fixation with Hitler.

A friend said something full of win today;
'So, Scotland is the fattest country in Europe they say right? Just imagine how fat it would be without all the heroin'

That phenomenon turned out about as I expected.  Doesn't bother me in the least.

The extra light in the summer is cool for getting outdoors, and the darkness is a bit annoying for the same reason.  But no big deal...it evens out overall.

Weird, the messed up day/night cycles hit me really hard in Sweden and they won't be anywhere near as extreme.
I thought it was a psychilogical condition common to all people. Hence those artificial sunlight lamps you can get.

I was always a night owl in my youth...and I work in windowless buildings anyway.  That all probably helps.

The original European version of Insomnia was better than that monkey shitfest Pacino and Williams made.
