Whilst out shopping for cheap nuts at Jacksons Insanesbury's, I met a man in the queue who gave me a leisure tip.

'You've got to get play-station three, it's fuckin' awesome! On one of 'em, I was a sort of Knights Templar, on mi way to Jerusalem, and I went through this desert, and I was on this fuckin' horse for an hour! Then there was this time machine thing, and I pressed the button and I was in fuckin' York! It was 1951, and I was walking down Micklegate, holding this fuck-off big machine gun, and there were cunts coming at me from all directions, tooled up to fuck they were, it was fuckin' awesome! I've been right into it! I played on it all this morning, and this afternoon, when I was at the hospital waiting for an appointment, every time a doctor walked passed, I found myself wondering how I could fuckin' 'ave 'em, without anyone seeing me!'

'Do they do a vegetarian version?'

'There's a button you can press for blood or no blood, so yes, I suppose so'.

On Question Time, on Radio 4, this weekend, they were talking about how the literacy rate in Finland is higher than in Britain, despite the fact that they don't learn to read or write until they're seven. Rudolph Steiner, educationalist, mystic, and guardian of the threshold (goalkeeper) for Bayern Munich, says that for under-sevens, word-learning is a hard frost on the natural flowering of the imagination.

Imagination is the true source of a nations wealth, but unfortunately, due to it being a loving act of creative will, is an alien concept to most politicians. In the Guardian I read that the government, featuring the fabulous Golden Brown and the Miligrams, are introducing mandatory computer skills for children over the age of twenty-two months. That should learn 'em!

I know lots of strange and peculiar people. They generally live on boats, in caravans or have facial hair. Just for the record, I have facial hair!
(Validation word is 'grow', most appropriate.)

I know lots of people who went to normal schools who are also peculiar. This is probably a coincidence too.

If you gave a group of monkeys enough time with a typewriter one of them would eventually type 'Hey hey, we're the monkees'.

I've known quite a few people who went to Steiner schools. They're all peculiar (or at least, a bit strange) and most of them can't spell very well. I'm sure that this is just a coincidence though!

Since using a word processor at work, the neatness of my hand writing has suffered terribly. However, spell checkers stop me making mistakes. The youth of today should be taught to speak the Queen's English like what I does!
