My former employers used Yodel as its Collect+ courier service. Of course, I was personally responsible for the shitty service. It's my fault entirely they use tiny vans.

Having a girl from work and her husband over for dinner tomorrow, made me realise how uncool I have become in my old age, a few years ago I would invite them around to trash a crate of larger and get shit faced, now it's fritatta and venison steaks.

Food is cool now.

May I suggest risotto and venison instead? A red wine gravy on the venison would go down superbly. A bottle of Chianti on the go as well.

I'm considering doing another big walk next year, I have always wanted to try Lands End to John O'Groats but I doubt I'd be able to afford to have three months off of work in order to complete it.

You can if you get sponsored AND expenses paid for by a willing charity. Make a few calls.

I think I might make Sortitoutsi my forum of choice.

Car forums are full of pompous pricks showing off how much money they can spend.

He isn't pompous (outside of LFC) or a prick but have you met King Luis?

Once. At a drinks reception at a conference in Wycombe a few years ago. It was early February and snowing IIRC.

Don't think he'd have appreciated your 'RIP':

"It always bothers me to see people writing 'RIP' when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop out. To me 'RIP' is the microwave dinner of posthumous honours." - Lou Reed.

Despite my immense love for a lot of his music, and the incredible amount of respect I have for the man, he was also a whiney old prick.

So, R.I.P. Lou Reed, I don't care if you appreciate my message.

You know, I agree with him and normally I wouldn't do it. I was just too tired/lazy to write something more meaningful yet I just felt I had to write something given the role his (or rather The Velvet Underground's) music has played in my life.
