UK eases airport security rules, liquids allowed — in the future, our lives will be described by what items we put in our 20cm x 20cm clear resealable plastic bags.

Ten factors, from the New Scientist:

1. Not enough sleep (I certainly have no problem getting loads of sleep while I’m still jobhunting)
2. Climate control (Well, it’s single figures and central heating is about 20°C here so no problem with that)
3. Less smoking (Four years now, and not one pound gained so far, so I’m okay there)
4. Prenatal effects (My mum is naturally skinny, too)
5. Fat equals fecund (Ooh. So I might be less fertile?)
6. A little older… (So I can maybe expect a little pot belly in a decade’s time…)
7. More drugs (Wow, am I glad I don’t believe in taking medication unless I am wretchedly ill)
8. Pollution (Good thing we left China!!)
9. Mature mums (Uh oh.)
10. Like marrying like (Hmmmm…)

Anyone wants a handmade Christmas card this year?

A couple of years ago, I made the offer in September, and all I had was coloured photocopy paper, scissors, and a hole punch. This year, I have 100% genuine card stock (gasp!), more than a few craft punches, and loads of donated papercraft supplies (thanks to Neil’s mum). And it’s November, so there’s no real jumping the gun this time.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

(The coloured photocopy paper is being stupendously transformed into custom-made envelopes.)

Send me a note with your address if you want one.

I’m even using a really, really sharp knife! And skinny double-sided tape! And spangles! Flippin’ ‘eck!

Corporate Slave looks like a brilliant theme for a simple business bloog.
