Yes, I still have secret hopes for the Kindle as I think it looks extremely sexy and is furthermore extremely practical. But I shall stay quiet on that one for a good while as I really have no right to indulge myself in electronics or games. I spent a thousand quid on getting to a funeral that I didn't even attend. It just wouldn't be right for me to come home with a suitcase full of electronic goodies. Clothes and the odd beer with old friends are the only indulgences that I shall have.
I'm not really all that on edge, Bilbo. I think I come across like that mainly because of how I post. I say things very dryly and anyone not catching the wry smile on my face would think I am extremely edgy and just a little bit scary, but that is really not the case. I was just a bit drunk and asked what I thought was a very interesting question, but the foreign workers didn't take too kindly to me asking why they were stealing English jobs. I have my work because I have language skills that Koreans don't have. Any Englishman could be working in these hotels, but they don't. Why not? I was just curious. I tell my stories in a way that is truthful, but also in a way that I think is really quite funny. I would be a little bit upset if people weren't having a little bit of a chuckle while reading.
BTW, this weather really, really sucks. I had no idea that the weather would be this cold and the boiler system in the house appears to have broken down. So, it is just me in the house and NO heating. Last night I slept with a pillow on my head just to keep my ears warm. It was that cold!
