Start of a new week and am in very good mood. Have spent most of the weekend doing lots of work, or going to a comedy fest in Durham and pissing myself. Cannot look at Ross in the same way though.... note to self: please remove the image of naked Ross from my mind. Thank you.

There are some truly lovely people in this world. Hello Sarah, Rob, Vessy, Adlin, Sandra, Pia, Nadi, Emma, and the rest of you... *hugs*

Have bought a guidebook for my holiday - the Lonely Planet's South America on a Shoestring. Sounds good. No pics though.

Ooh! I NEVER watch ITV normally, except for Corrie and the occasional Poirot, but I watched the first part of The Second Coming last night and OMG. It is incredible. The writing, the acting... most of all the story. And the fact its set in Manchester. In case you don't know, it's about a guy who wakes up thinking he's the Messiah, and he is, and he gives the human race 5 days to write a third testament or the apocalypse will occur.

Which got me thinking - what on earth would you put as a set of moral rules? You can't have categorical imperatives, because for every rule there is a counter-example (hence the problem with 'thou shalt not kill). You can't act to promot the maximum good because it is impossible to measure - is it better to save one man from 3 years of torture or 3,000 people from 1 day of stomach ache? So what do you do....

Woah. Deep. I'm putting philosophy into practice... and all it takes for my subject to have some use is the coming of the Messiah.... D'OH!

Quote: "I have to go to Washington, Tokyo, London..."

"No way, make them come here! Nobody ever comes to Manchester!"

Listening to: Tom McRae. Still. So?
