A COMEDIE OF ERRORS or WTF?

Oh best beloved, such a littany of woes and confusion shall I lay before thee that thou would'st think it a cloth of a size in which to enwrap creation itself.

Perhaps I exaggerate slightly.

1. Next weekend was to be Neverwhere preceded by visiting chums in London and followed by seeing the Fox before he went away on holiday for a week.


2. Neverwhere gets cancelled so I figure I can have a nearly full weekend with the Fox before he heads off and go visit Sexbat Towers the following weekend.


3. It turns out that the Fox is, in fact, leaving at dawn o'clock on Saturday so there is no possibility of meeting him after drinks on Thursday. So suddenly I have nowhere to go this weekend and matricide is looking high on the list of Saturday's activities.


4. I decide on a whistle-stop tour of various locations in the South East, catching up with people (mostly sans LJ) that I haven't seen in a while.


5. Due to the infernal heat I decide to nip out to buy some beers to throw in the freezer and drink when cold enough to chill my blood. Being 10.55pm I just miss Sainsbury's so I continue to Tescos. I buy said beer and the car, filled with umbrage at being seen in so common a place as Tesco's car park decides to activate its engine immobilizer.


6. The recovery service finally reaches me at 2am. By 3am the decision is made that the car cannot be coerced into starting by a mere man with spanners and so we are taken back home.


7. The car is taken into the garage where they tell us it will be next Tuesday before they can look at it.


8. I have a hire car for 48 hours but no more, the garage cannot lend me a courtesy car until Tuesday (by which time the damn car should be fixed anyway).


9. My plans for the weekend have been very thoroughly torpedoed ... unless the garage fix the car (and rip the bloody immobilizer out) early ... which is possible.


10. Chances are that, to add insult to injury, I'll need to use a taxi to do the shopping this week ... which is something I hate.

Ah well ... c'est la vie.

In other news, this track by Jamie T is pure genius.
