None of these were fluent tonight, the back is creaking something wicked, it doesn't hurt, in just feels like some form of lubrication is needed. The top set were all marginally high which did not please me in the slightest but there is more chance of becoming Pope than getting a set to decent depth tonight. The horse died sometime earlier, so there is no point flogging it now. Live to fight another day.

I'll start today. There is a water cooler by the coffee machine, every coffee I have I will neck a cup of water first.

Monday saw the final of the splendid BBC2 series "Only Connect" one of the strangest, yet hugely entertaining* programmes.

*Other opinions may be held

On it, I discovered in purely serendipitous fashion the term "Mountweasel" a piece of trivial and incorrect information deliberately inserted as a copyright trap. Oh I do so love the English language.

I had heard about Lillian Mountweazel...I'm actually surprised such things are actually allowed without being forced to be called works of fiction.

The first four sets were really rather easy but the fifth was a different kettle of fish altogether, just made it.

There was quite a deliberate and lengthy delay between the two exercises tonight as I was helping Dave C with his shirt and his handoffs, I think it was rather a good idea.

I have some blood tests tomorrow, at 9 o'clock and they have to be preceded by a twelve hour fast. Food I don't mind it's the cups of tea I miss. Breakfast of the large variety will follow that and then I shall vote in the local elections, then home and watch some recorded foolishness on the TV, I will squeeze in a chippy tea. At some point I will have to have sex with a rather attractive and very slutty young lady. I have booked the day off, I thought it wise as the day is so filled with excitement.Happy

Woke with achey knees this morning, bloods taken, voting done, breakfast eaten. Two cups of tea with breakfast as I was a man with a thirst and as I left the cafe my knees ached considerably less, thus adding fuel to Billy's water theory. TV from the couch next, chippy tea and slutty woman to come. I am already liking todayHappy

Good with a capital "G". Slutty, attractive woman has just left, now for the chippy. Should be back in good time for Pointless.

I must be approaching my excitement limit for the day, and I still have pointless, eggheads, double emmerdale and big bang theory to come.

Confused Confused Confused Confused

I went to the local chippy earlier and purchased fish and chips, and while it has been threatening for a while today is the day that I bought fish and chips for the price of five English pounds. £3.40 for a fish and £1.60 for a portion chips

For reasons I do not know I remember when I was twelve, chips at the local chippy (I used to catch the bus back from my mates and the bus stop was outside the chippy) and a bag of chips was sixpence.

Please note that as this is fifty years ago it is pre decimalization and therefore 6d which was to later become 2.5p. Assuming that then as now fish was approximately double the price of chips that would put a fish at one shilling or 5p, possibly 5.5p. Therefore fish and chips back then would have been one shilling and sixpence or 7.5 or 8 pence.

Therefore the price of fish and chips has gone up about 65 fold. Those who claim to know about these things say that future performance is best based on past, so if we had to guess the price fifty years from now we are probably best to multiply by the same factor. So fifty years from now, fish and chips will be circa £325.

Now I begin to understand why in later life my father was always banging on about these thing.

I remember fish and chips costing 75p (50p for the fish and 25p for the chips), i would hazard a guess at that being around the late 1970s, so roughly 40 years ago..

It's strange what we remember and what we don't. Anyone who has a child, I always tell them to buy a book and on the day of its birth record the prices of routine stuff - fish and chips, pint of bitter, broadsheet newspaper, litre of diesel, pint of milk, twenty fags, loaf of bread etc. And every year update the prices, it would make interesting reading in later life, but as far as I know, no-one ever has.
