Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 28)

An update on the 'bag for life' debacle:
I took it back to the outlet in question and delivered a well thought out and firm description of my complaint. I mentioned consumer rights too which I think finally swung the dispute in my favour - they offered me a replacement free of charge which I eventually accepted although the assistant in the customer services desk couldn't give me any guarantees about the quality of said replacement. In fact she gave me what could only be described as 'a funny look'. I told her I'd be escalating it further should this one fail to live up to expectations!

Just flopped on the sofa, turned on the telly and it's Glastonbury. Sadly, it didn't top nor even equal the experience this time last year. Last year I turned on the telly and said out loud:
"Oh, it's Glastonbury. Oh, it's Coldplay,. Oh, it's Tom."
Sure enough, there was No.2 son dancing all on his own in the crowd. It all seemed so natural. From when he was a little lad he's always danced.

What a legend, just like his dad eh? "Oh, it's Glastonbury. Oh, it's Coldplay,. Oh, it's Tom."

I'm watching Elbow now, but I'm looking forward to watching Radiohead's set in a bit.

Congratulations on the degree and your ambitions to use it.
You are truly an inspirational person, who one day, I would like to meet in person; well done!
I finished my computer studies O level, got on a bus and got off at Glastonbury in 1987. Got acute food poisoning, had our tent robbed and lost everything, and pharmocologically permanently altered my brain. Lost two stone over three days. People would sell on the market stalls back then "Hot knives, 50p per hot knife" "Purple Oms, Strawberries, Purple Oms!" and helpful punters would call out which sort of acid to avoid cos they were bad trips. The lasers on Solstice night as the sun went down were like nothing I'd seen before. I think.
Can't honestly say if I enjoyed it or not. It's all a bit blurred. I think I'd need a time machine to ask myself

In a recent episode of my never ending quest to tidy the garage so Mrs C's car can be put away I came across a dead mouse. It was completely intact just dead. Later I found its nest. In my experience mouse nests are tucked away and cosy. This was a very meagre affair on the floor towards the up and over door. I think the mouse had reached the time in his life when he started to build the nest and then said to himself, "I can't be bothered to do this. I'll just go over there and die." And he did.
