Is it just me, or are Sundays the worst day of the week? They just do not feel like a proper day off for me.

The problem is that I like a lie-in on the weekend. I like to remain in my bed until at least lunchtime, and ideally be fast asleep until I wake up naturally. There’s nothing to stop me doing that on a Sunday either, it is after all a weekend, a day off.

Oh wait, there is one problem; I’m mental.

I could lie there for hours if I wanted to, but my brain will make me worry that if I sleep for too long, I will not sleep at all that night resulting in the following day at work being a painful slog in that half-awake way a bout of insomnia surely guarantees.

I’ve done it before. Many times. Eight hour shifts on fifteen minutes sleep. I’ve even enjoyed them; it gets to about 11am and I find my mind and body have stopped rebelling against the lack of sleep, and are supporting me on a floating cloud of semi-conscious existence. 

I don’t like it though.

I think the ideal solution is to let me have Mondays off as well. That way I can sleep for as long as I want on Sundays, without worrying that the following day will be spent feeling rotten due to a lack of sleep, because then if I haven’t slept on Sunday night, I can sleep on Monday night. It’s a plan with no drawbacks.

Isohunt (which I have never used, and anyone who says I have used isohunt.com is a big fat liar) has dating adverts. Now, one of them last night was oddly location specific - “Meet Worcester Singles” it said. So I investigated further.

Excellently, the ads are generated automatically on the server. And with tinkering, can be made to say anything you want.

For instance, this.

(http://crtv.mate1.com/crtv/1517/geolocation=infected - Warning! The image above is work safe. The URL is not.)

And by changing the number after /crtv/ in the URL, you can find different adverts for amusing fun. As shown here.

(http://crtv.mate1.com/crtv/1547/geolocation=clap%20clinics)

I don’t know why I find this simple messing with URLs fun, but I do. And maybe you will too.

To do it yourself, copy and paste the above URL; you can replace the text after “geolocation=” with pretty much anything, though anything too long will be replaced with default text unfortunately.

Edit: The irony of what this has done to my Google adverts is appreciated.

Here’s a quick plug for top new comedy magazine, Mustard.

http://www.mustardweb.org/

It’s dirt cheap - it’ll set you back less than the cost of two hundred penny sweets, or one hundred two penny sweets, or one hundred penny sweets and ten bags of Space Raiders or t(That’s quite enough of that - Ed).

It’s also bloody funny and has a great, lengthy interview with Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan.

I’d buy it if I were you. I did, and I’m not even you!
