Drive-by am not kidnapped by aliens post

Brammers: Oh god, apparently five of my friends have invited me to be on Facebook.

Brammers' young friend: OMIGOD! I can't believe you're not on Facebook! You should totally be there!

B: I'm old, dear, the first number in my age is a four.

BYF: You're NOT old. And besides, my mum is in her forties and she's on Facebook.

B: I'm old and I have no children I need to stalk on Facebook. Also, I'll just be over there having a little cry for the next few minutes ...



Back to the work, editing and writing. Slowly catching up!

Sigh ...

I went freelance so that I could avoid working until all hours ... At least I am paid for every minute I am there and cabcharges are thrown at me with cheer.

In further proof that the news has become as easy to predict as most American mainstream film plots, I offer the following.

Brammers on Saturday: That was a terrible accident! I'm relieved Massa looks as though he will be all right. I give it less than 48 hours before people are calling for Michael Schumacher to take the vacant drive.

Mr Brammers: *Starts stopwatch*

36 hours later ...

Mr Brammers: You win.

Just watched the sports news on a commercial channel here.

Sportscaster: In astonishing news, voices are calling for Michael Schumacher to return to Ferrari after Massa's shocking accident.

Mr Brammers: That's not news. Stumpy on the sofa broke that three days ago.

Brammers: *Raises moderately stumpy arms in victory*
