You absolute twit
Yeah, I'm on twitter, like everyone else. If you follow me, I will tell you a joke a day; that's nice, isn't it?

Liquid Soap update
The BBC did an article on Liquid Soap. It's now been nominated for a Royal Television Society award, and apparently over 90, 000 people have visited the website. Which surprised me, I never really thought it would take off.
Did I mention that I wrote and acted in the second episode? No? Maybe because I've shut up about it after seeing just how hideous I look in it. Seriously, I do not know what I was thinking with that hair. Anyway, if you have no particular affection for your eyes, you can see my episode here.

You do the maths
Waterstones are good. They are very good at what they do. By which I mean selling books. Not only do they own shops that you can walk into to view the books, and bring them to a counter a purchase them, no no. They provide very special 'deals', forcing you into a life of debt.
They are devious these book sellers. I was caught out yesterday when I saw that they were selling the new Hornby for just £4.49. Bargain, I thought. Only on closer inspection of the book's sticker did it transpire that this price only became available when your total purchase was £10 or over. OK, a little cheeky, but fair enough. I found a suitable partner for the Hornby, (That Mitchell and Webb Book, for those who are interested) and went to pay.
Now by this point, I was already invested in my purchase, I was anticipating soon owning them, doing with them as I willed, whether that be reading them, or something far seedier. E.g. makeshift doorstop.
It was only when I went to make my purchase that it further transpired (or should I say, 'conspired' !?!?!) that I needed to have already spent £10 in order to receive the Hornby discount. I could have, and perhaps should have walked away then, lobbing the books at the distressed assistant, crying my outrage at such daylight robbery. But I was too far gone, already too attached to my purchases (It's Hornby for chrissakes!)
So in order to save myself £2.50 from the RRP, I instead spent £22 on books that I had no intention of buying half an hour before. They're good.

Maybe Later
Sorry to everyone who was expecting a Makeup tutorial video this week. I've filmed it, and was in the process of editing it when I realised how it could be so much more awesome. So I've asked a fellow youtuber if he could provide the voiceover for the piece, and it's not for definite, but he may be able to fit me in next month. I think the potential collaboration is worth waiting for, so I'll try and resume the regular vlogs as soon as I can get round to it.
Also if you hadn't noticed, I've stopped posting my videos here (if you think this is a bad idea, tell me why), so go make a youtube account and subscribe to me or join the Facebook page to keep up to date with me.
Take care you guys x
