The Importance of Being Idle

Rain Rain Go Away Go Away!

I was worried this was going to happen. I didn't take my shorts off yesterday afterall, and now look! Rain! Serious rain too, the kinda that gets ya wet!
In more news that makes me extremely grumpy the council sent me yet another form to fill out, this one being due back tomorrow with all supporting evidence! The form itself amusingly claims to have been sent out at the start of May, but I don't think it was cos I only got it this morning. I can't wait to be employed again and not be dependant on benefits, and the morons who administer them. Luckily I have all the stuff I need (at least I think I do, I've checked it a couple of times already, and I'll check it again before I take it in tomorrow), so it could've been a lot worse I suppose.
Ooooooooo yeah and in good news I have two interviews next week! One is for retail work, and the other is somthing more office based. I feel pretty pleased with that, lets hope the interviews go well and I get to choose which job I take! That'd be pretty sweet eh?
France voting 'non' on the whole European constitution thing is still causing much confusion over here. As far as I understand it, that pretty much means that the constitution can't be ratified, cos one rejection spoils it for everyone. Whats really weird is that France was the one to say it. I mean, they're pretty much at the centre of the European project, I expected the UK to torpedo the whole thing, cos for some reason this country just doesn't approve of socialism, or Europe, or foreigners in general. So it was interesting to see that the French have exactly the same reservations about the whole thing that we do. What is even more bizarre though, is the fallout from the no vote. I don't know if this is normal or not, but the French president has appointed a new prime minister (which is weird in and of itself when you think about it), and the guy is someone who has NEVER contested an election in his life, let alone won one. That just seems really really wrong to me, although I'm not (even a little bit) French, so maybe its perfectly normal for them...
I'm sure I had something else I wanted to talk about, but I can't think what it was. Probably a lie then, eh? If it comes back to me, I'm sure I'll return!
