Hmmm. Perhaps I should have stuck with a more everyday word like 'depressed'.

Although everyone I speak to about it seems to have the same impression of the word as me. Is this how words evolve? People getting it wrong until they change the dictionary to accommodate the mistake?
Will it work on the word 'mentalist'? To most it means crazy person rather than mind reader. The word 'mentalist' has been a source of light-hearted disagreement over at Mumsie's place for years now...

How Can I Stop Getting Maudlin?
It's annoying the pants off of me, so I can only imagine the annoyance level that other people must feel when it happens.
Maybe I should give up booze again. No fair. Although maybe it's rather a lack of caffeine... No way I'm giving up coffee.
And I swear I don't make up the "Music @ Last Post" bit, it's always true. Eerily appropriate sometimes, especially this one.

Hmm, Where Shall I Sit?
Picture the scene. In a movie theatre with in excess of 300 seats. Of those seats, fully 2 are occupied. Enters a couple. Where do they sit? Out of all the chairs? DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME.
You stupid ******* ****** *******. Romford is to blame. Full of *****.

How Can You Just Shut Everything?
London transport is a farce. Travel at the weekend is sometimes almost impossible. That's all I'm saying because I'm sick of talking about it.
Good thing I was in a good mood on Sunday night. Victory can dull any pain. Go on the "volleyball"!

Did The Power Cut Kill My TV?
Seriously? Co-incidence? Was there a power surge or something, because our TV is buggered the very same day of the power cut.

How Long Can It Take To Get The Electricity Back On?
Seriously, ten hours is not acceptable.
Thank God we have gas hobs so I could still make coffee!
