Must say ancient technology like analogue clocks add taste to a room.

Given that I now work in my bedroom "office", I have got in the habit of leaving the TV on low for a bit of background noise - mostly on CNN- exactly up until that fucking Richard Quest comes on, then I got to turn it off. That mans voice is like, well, cannot think of an equivalent....
It's Monday. And I didn't have the weekend off
Ambition is a fine thing
Erm....he's not in the closet, dude. Pay attention. Check his photos. He's right out there.
So hitting 12” of water at 120km/h isn’t much fun, I don’t recommend it.
Good exercise for the sphincter muscles though.
Recently had a critical incident, not threatening, and decided damn the expense of a health check, which returned with a long todo list before I could become 23 again.
Starting near the bottom, a benign facial cyst which about 7 years ago a doctor offered to remove for 200 baht, but it didn't bother me and not into vanity so I declined. Still had no problem with it but I thought wtf might as well off it, maybe 500 by now. I was going to City hospital anyway for other stuff, so I brought this up, doc looks at it and invites me to have it done at his clinic...ho hum, here we go, how much, 5k which was a bit of a shock, so he adds of course you can do it here, go to accounts and check how much they'll charge. So off I go, escorted by the nurse who gets collared by someone on the way so I went ahead and gave the form specifying the procedure to the lady at accounts; she brings out a large folder, seemed unsure and starts going back and forth when my nurse trots up to prompt her with the doctor's name, whereupon she closes the folder, reaches for a paper scrap and writes on it, 16,000.
Made the decision easier, and my mind said finish with this asap, so I had the cyst removed at the doc's clinic yesterday.
By contrast, few years ago, an emergency involving observation and an overnight stay with meds at a gov hospital, cost about 2,500 all in; and more recently ultrasound and follow up for 2,200.
So, was I mugged or was I mugged?
Mugged, raped, then mugged a bit more.
