Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Hot drinks

Disclaimer - some of this is a repeat of an earlier rant.

I can't stand tea. Never seen the point - even though the country runs on it and you're a pariah if you refuse cups. I got into trouble the other day at home when I made tea for some guests and put milk in it. Turns out one doesn't put milk in Earl Gray.

I'm not keen on coffee - I can't tell the difference between the different types and my only reason for drinking it is to get the caffeine. Red Bull is far better - tastes better than coffee and works more quickly and efficiently. (Dan - I drink much less than you do of cider...).

I've never seen the point of drinking chocolate. As far as I am concerned, chocolate should come in bars, compleetly unadulterated. Give me a bar of Lindt, Dairy Milk (or better still, the now unavailable Spira), and I'm happy. Just don't add cr@p to it, and certianly don't heat it up and serve it in a cup.

I don't like Ovaltine or Horlicks.

So, basically, I just drink cold drinks. Thought you might be interested.
