So this is really it. This morning I received the contract for my new job, plus pension plans, discounted gym memberships and the like. I start the day after Easter Monday. I’m not sure if I’m taking it as seriously as I should, but I think it is true that I’m looking forward to having a proper job. How long this will last, I’m not sure, but the spread betters are predicting between 4 and 12 hours. Oh well…
After 7 and ½ years at the Uni. of Exeter the time for change has come. Maybe I’ll return one day. There is one main thing that I’m going to miss – I’ll give you one guess.
Times up. And I’m afraid to say that you’re wrong. If you said “He’ll be missing the flexible working hours,” then you’re not too far away – although you ain’t getting no prizes. That’s because the thing I’m going to miss most is…Bargain Hunt.
That’s right, a weekly fix of 45 minutes of antique auctioning is the main thing that I’m concerned about losing most. No longer will I be able to take the odd day to work at home and enjoy BH over my cheese, ham and Branstons sandwiches. I don’t know why I like the programme so much – there’s no logic to it damn it – but, yes, it’s a tradition that will be hard to part with.

well, this is good news, right?
the show i missed most when i stopped being a bloody student and got a real job (id mention haircut, too, but i think we all know the truth...) was diagnosis murder. what crazy shenanigans will the van dyke family get up to this week?
who knows, who knows...
Yes, it is good news - despite the irrational enjoyment I have gained from BH, I don't think it is worth going on the dole for. I've done the sums.
Thankfully Diagnosis isn't on at the moment, or else that would have been a different kettle of fish to boil.
