Ok, so perhaps I'm turning into a grumpy old man, but how come every call centre you ever call is always experiencing 'higher than normal call volumes'? How can they be 'higher than normal' if the norm is for them to be 'higher than normal'?
Can't they just be honest and say 'we're experiencing the same call volumes as usual but we'd rather keep our customers waiting for 10 minutes than employ some extra staff'???

Nappy Yew Hear!
... as the card from the DNA wished me (National Dyslexic Association). I can write that 'cos I'm a bit dyslexic so it's ok. Look carefully at my carefully written prose and you'll see some spelling mistakes that evidence this incontrovertibly. Just to be sure I cause no offence I'll make a joke at my expense - what do you call a scouser in a suit? Guilty. Harharhar.
Anyway 'appy new year me hearties! It's snowed here and I'm still feeling fetsive and full of good cheer.
(By the way, for those of you that aren't familiar with the fetsive feeling, it's similar to the festive feeling but not quite as good - kind of festive but still a little pensive at the same time.)
You know, it's funny how people make all these life-changing promises for their new year resolutions, when all of us have the power to wake up and change things for the better every single day. I watched "Bruce Almighty" last night and was disproportionally moved by it. And it wasn't just at the thought that God might look like Morgan Freeman. Someone said that God is all aorund us. Someone else said that God is inside all of us (though I'm not aure I'm 100% comfortable with the idea of Morgan Freeman being inside of me). Others don't believe in God. I say that God is what you want him/her/it to be. Me, I like to think of God as the best part of human nature - the act of doing selfless deeds to make others happy and the little warm feeling you get inside after you've done them. Call it love if you want. Oh, and by the way I don't want to get into some philosophical debate about whether a truly selfless deed actually exists - I recognise the fact that the "warm feeling you get" could be construed by a pinickity philosopher as a selfish motivation for doing the deed in the first place. But let's not go there. What I'm trying to say is that, to me, religion at the very least serves a purpose of providing a moral framework that encourages people to be nice to each other, and that the spirit of mankind inside all of us is an infinite, beautiful and loving thing. And if that doesn't sound like God then nothing else does to me.
Anyway, that's my New Year's Message. Let's all try and do things every day to make lives better for those around us, and the world will be a better place.
(Oh, ok I admit it - it's an old photo from January 2007. Look, when I said it's snowed here I never specified when did I? Gah, I feel like I've morally extinguished all of my philosophical rantings above now by posting a misleading photo. By the way, the snowman looks like he's ignoring me in the photo - he was just giving me the cold shoulder)
