1000th post! Celebrate with choccies!
Knobbly and discoloured, these chocolates have seen better days. But what they no doubt lack in taste, they more than make up for in historic value. The misshapen sweets date back 106 years.

Creepy abandoned futuristic village in Taiwan
On the very northernmost coast of Taiwan lies the spookily bizarre San Zhi resort, which consists entirely of circular, multi-coloured pods stacked on top of one another. Furthermore, these strange habitats have been completely abandoned for a number of years, and are slowly rotting away into nothing.
One story says that the project had to be abandoned after several fatal accidents occurred during construction, and according to local rumours, this ghost city is now haunted by those who died building it.
There seems to be very little actual information about these buildings available online (at least in English), but they may have been built by the government in the early 80s “in an attempt to position this as a luxurious holiday location for the rich of Taipei”. The concept behind the strange design might have been that they could expand the buildings vertically as required, simply by adding more pods on top.

Can I have a suitable mousemat please?
I have pushed the boat out and treated myself to an optical mouse (the inside of the old one did resemble a mouse, oddly enough). Any suggestions on what to use as a mousemat, it isn't taking to the Avon book very well and my desk is full of little holes. The old mousemat was all rubbery and it didn't worky too.

A hardbacked diary done the trick (solid colour)

Don't bother zooming in for hairy legs, I have photoshopped them off.

Orange b*****ds
Don't ever, ever, ever, ever, start up a contract with Orange, they are a shower of fuckwits. I am now struggling to cancel my contract with them but they are reluctant to let me. My only choice is to flood them with email as a phonecall to them is the most frustrating thing on the planet. Here are some of the email replies today to the same question (I sent it about 10 times yesterday)

Confectionary secret down-sizing conspiracy
As I dunk my Rich Tea biscuit into my cup of out-of-date typhoo tea, I discover to my horror they have changed! They're all thin in the middle and sort of...Holey...I'm not sure when they changed but as no-one told me I feel cheated. Has anyone else noticed? Who do I complain to? Ach sure i'll call Orange again and take it out on them.
Don't even get me started on Wispas.
