Intruder in the Realm

All seems peaceful in the realm of Random Silliness. Jackie, Mistress of Evil is in her library, about to get stuck into a good book, when in comes Algernon, one of the minions.
"What is it?" enquires Jackie impatiently.
"Please, your Ladyship, Shasta, leader of the wolf pack is here to see you, he says it's urgent"
"What is it now?" Jackie sighs "Very well, send him in"
Shasta pads into the library, looking slightly harrassed.
"Greetings Shasta, what brings you here?" enquires Jackie.
"Well, your Ladyship, we were patrolling the boundries to make sure no more pink bunnies got in when we came across a gentleman named Colin, he says he needs to see you"
Jackie snorts contemptuously "Colin is no gentleman"
"So you know him then, your Ladyship?" enquires Shasta curiously.
"Yes, Unfortunately!" says Jackie angrily "How dare he enter this realm. I banished him three months ago"
"He is quite determined to see you, he is on his way here now"
"Damn him to eternal hell!" curses Jackie "Why couldn't you have stopped him? You imbecile!"
"I'm sorry, your Ladyship" cringes Shasta "I didn't know whether you wanted to see him or not"
"Well, I bloody well don't!" fumes Jackie in a strop.
"So what are we going to do now?" Enquires Shasta "Shall I send a message to Alandis of the Demon Realm for help?"
"No, there's no time for that, besides, I've got a plan, there's a new weapon I want to try out. Take me to Colin, I'm going to knock him into the middle of next month!"
"Erm, your Ladyship" says Shasta nervously "I think the phrase is supposed to be 'knock him into the middle of next week'"
"Not in this case" says Jackie with an evil grin "This weapon is a laser beam that transports enemies straight into their idea of hell. All going to plan, when I hit Colin with the Laser, he will be transported to the Westlife concert that is scheduled for Manchester in the middle of next month and he will be stuck there for eternity"
"Your Ladyship, that is very evil"
"Exactly!" sniggers Jackie "That's why I'm doing it"
"But , your Ladyship" says Shasta, looking suddenly worried "I've thought of a slight problem"
"What problem could there possibly be?" asks Jackie impatiently
"Well, what if Colin gets that annoyed with listening to Westlife he decides to kill them?"
Jackie gives a dismissive wave of her hand "I don't really see that as a problem, I was planning to blow them up anyway. It'd save me the bother".

Snookered!

Nothing much interesting to report. Except for a delay in taking my driving test due to the DSA creating more petty beurocracy (or however the sodding hell you spell it!). They will no longer accept paper provisional licenses as ID prior to taking the test, you either need a photographic license or you need to show a passport with your paper license. Guess what, I don't have a passport. Furthermore in order to get either a passport or a photocard driving license, I'll need to legally change my name first (I was born with a different surname but because I was brought up with a step-dad I use his surname - so I need a piece of paper saying I've legally changed my surname before anyone will accept my birth certificate a sufficient proof that I'm me!). Anyway, I've started the ball rolling for that, so I'm getting it sorted, but waht a pain in the ass!

Anyway, I was in a bad mood yesterday so went shopping to cheer myself up. Got some new clothes, including a black waistcoat (waistcoats are quite fasionable at the moment so I'm not being THAT weird!). Wore this to work today with a white shirt and black trousers, actually looks quite good, although while wearing this I kept having a strange urge to pick up a snooker cue.... Funny that....
