B-b-bird is the Word

So, this has nothing to do with birds. I'm just amused by the song on Family Guy. Although there's a poster in our sixth form saying "What is the word?" that looks like Elvis Presley. So that's amused me. Something I've been meaning to put in, but kept forgetting is an advert on t'interweb. From a company called Father Christmas Letters Ltd. 50p for guessing what they do. Anyway, the advert itself amused me.
"We offer the most authentic letter from Father Christmas & Santa Claus to both children & adults with FREE delivery worldwide."
What in tarnation is an authentic letter from Father Christmas or Santa Claus? It's no more authentic than scribbling down a little note saying "Santa Claus woz ere y2kn9" I'm actually wondering how much this costs. Free P+P, though. Some people will buy anything.

I've just now been interrupted with a letter (or exam pack to be more accurate) from the hospital. Apparently I've to fill in 20 forms on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It's so very difficult to understand that lack of sleep = tiredness. Apparently I need a physical condition (apparently enough to get a Blue Badge.. what that is, I have no idea. I assume it's a disabled parking badge. Wouldn't mind one for when I'm driving, tbh) I now have to fill out a load of repetitive forms. More undue stress. At least my Elche team are doing okay in La Liga on Football Manager (which I seem to care more about that my A Levels.)


Speaking of A Levels, I know how I'll be spending my time after exams and before uni. I shall be attempting to write a novel. I'll attempt for it to be in the comedy genre. It's gonna be set in Bolton, and the characters will be similar to those of people I know. Myself as the protagonist, of course. Got a few ideas noted down already, so should start getting to work on it mid-late June. I'm actually quite excited (then there'll be the wave of publishers saying it's shite). If it does get published, I already have my pen name sorted. Shan't tell you it, but I'll tell you it's an anagram of Michael Nolan. Yes, that's the type of thing I get up to at 4am.
