    Morning. Despite a cocktail of pharmaceuticals I ain't out running this morning. Got as far as the porch. Am now under a duvet awaiting hot chocolate. But hey, here's something I haven't done in a while - was up for two miserable hours last night listing 30 items on ebay - but, showing that this old dog can do new tricks - I've set the listings to start later rather than having them end at stupid o'clock like I usually do.

    Remember to go back and in and list immediately near the time - I don't think the delayed thingy is free?

    Is Adam having another outing or is he now too iconic to be listed ;)?

    Or is MrB 'Adam Ant' he is going to sell him ?.

    (sorry about the bad pun, but it is the best I can do with the available material).

    Morning folks. Adam has attracted zero interest this time around proving that the legions of watchers he had before were entirely you lot. What I thought was goldmine is in fact landfill. Doesn't look like I'm going to stand and deliver it to anyone.

    Drop it to 99p and you may get a sympathy bid ;).

    Another 5k run done, another kilo off the weight since last week. CCs all paid for the month and wolves successfully kept from the doors. Not a bad end to a odd month. Contract with new job signed and sealed - no going back now and a few other possibilities opening up for next September.

    Am kinda going off the freelance / selfemployed idea - just don't think I'm the type for it - regular income and paid holidays seem too much of a good thing to give up for the uncertainty.

    And still nobody loves Adam. You'd have thought somebody would have bid for him - once the Mr Bloater movie gets made it's going to be an important piece of film memorabilia.

    I don't know if you've come across Hypno who used to be on the DFW board? She has a tin of brussel sprouts which reached iconic status - yes, times got tough but never so tough she had to open them :D. Maybe Adam could have the same legendary status with you - things were never so bad you had to reduce him to 99p ;).
