A few months ago my neighbours across the street moved away and a young couple moved in to their old house.
The young couple seemed happy with their dog, garage full of petrol powered boy toys (road bike, trail bike, jet ski), and his Subaru Impenis with the obligatory super huge exhaust pipe...
After a couple of months a For Sale sign appeared, the next day a van came to pick up some furniture and the boy toys, and the couple were not seen again.
The swiftness of the move pricked my interest and when my next door neighbours paid us a visit recently I asked the husband if he had any news on what had happened.
"Oh Charlie across the road? He got caught shagging someone at his work. Jacked his job in and moved back home..."
When the neighbours had left I told Mrs TK that I knew what had happened to the couple across the road.
"So do I", said Mrs TK, "Mrs Neighbours Wife told me that the guy was having an affair"
What's in a phrase eh?

Must Be The Time Of Year...
This track came on the tunes box this morning during the drive to work and struck a chord...
Please lay down your pistols and your rifles
Please lay down your colours and your creeds
Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one
Concentrate on what you ought to be
Please lay down your colours and your creeds
Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one
Concentrate on what you ought to be
Then lay down your bullshit and your protests
Then lay down your governments of greed
Take a look at what lies all around you
Then pray God we can live in peace
Everyone's a loner 'till he needs a helping hand
Everyone is everybody else
Everyone's a no-one 'till he wants to make a stand
God alone knows how we will survive
Pretty sure that this band are so deeply unfashionable that no-one will know who the song is by.
Looking forward to some entertaining guesses though!
C'est La Vie
There's just too much Xmas pap around at the moment.
Here's some alternative listening that my old office buddies at A Major Engineering Company may recall.
Go on, get a loif...

Found a new site that allows you create "word clouds". The site can take RSS input from blogs and autogenerate a cloud from the content.
The results are quite impressive.
Here is how some of the favourite sites round here look...
If you fancy trying this out for yourself take a trip across to Wordle.
