The postman seemed to empathise, he muttered "sorry, it's only lightbulbs" when he handed it over, like some kind of Santa-on-a-budget. Love the new design, particularly the little RSS-reading dude on the right hand side! A belated Happy Birthday, may the randomness continue for many years to come!

Billions in the bank, price hikes 15% higher than the supposed downturn in profits and they can't even spring for a pair of shoes on your birthday! Hell, at least you got something.. My birthday was last sunday and I got bupkiss! Multi-billion pound corporations ought to be made to give out shoe/iPhone/laptop shaped gifts to regular customers when their profits are over £750,000,000 for the year. Anyway... Happy belated birthday random one. Hope you had a good day. Shocking!

Show up on the first date with a shoe box instead of flowers. Or maybe go shoe shopping as the first date. Would that work? If a man were to court you, should he do it with shoes?
