Yes, it's Friday 13th and it's been dark all day. It's the end times. Or maybe January, which is almost the same thing.

So what's been going on in the world of my giant brain? Last night I dreamt about Rocky Horror and Time Curry was refusing to go on for his "Don't dream it, be it" number because he hadn't had his funding from the Arts Council.

While I was walking to work I was thinking about whether to buy solar panels for all the businesses around me with the infinite amount of money that I was wishing for. And then I thought it would just save them money which they'd spend on other world destroying things, so I should give them to individuals instead. Or maybe the council.

And then I saw a penny on the pavement and it occurred to me that, quite apart from the issue of inflation, the people in the fountains won't be accepting pennies for wishes anymore because they have iron in them these days.

Just think, if I wasn't so easily distracted I could have saved the world by now.

Good news for privacy: Plans to combine new compulsory identity cards with passports and driving licences have been dropped.

And from yesterday
Waves of drug use only ever occur among the proles. Is this because there are so many more poor people than there are rich ones, and we're just applying an uncharacteristic rigour to our use of words like "wave"?

How cool is that? Actually I did try to find out about the temperature at Base camp and it's harder than I thought, so I did some work instead.

Am off to the gym now, because I am so virtuous...
