Non-Chavvved DVDs and a JAG

Tuesday January 30th, 2007 at 17:11pm

I left the house this morning to go onto campus for a swim, and discovered a parcel from Amazon on my doorstep – clearly, I’d been either asleep or in the shower when the postman knocked on the door (assuming he actually did knock, of course!) so he decided to leave it out on the street – I am extremely impressed that no-one chavved it while it was sitting there! Inside was the New Beginnings box set – three Doctor Who DVDs chronicling the end of the Tom Baker era, and the beginning of Peter Davison’s tenure. Two of these (Logopolis and Castrovalva) are among my very favourite Who stories, so I’m very happy to have the set – although its arrival does represent the fact that the last of my Christmas money has been spent, and I’ll be able to afford no more treats for quite a while. Ho hum. I went to a Remploy JAG yesterday. JAG ostensibly stands for Job Action Group, but “group” was pushing things slightly and “action” was a complete misnomer. There were a handful of jobs, though, one or two of which I’m going to put myself forward for. They’re admin-type work, which isn’t *really* what I want to be doing – but then again, neither is being unemployed for the rest of my life, so I really do need to widen my net somewhat at this point. Aside from that, there’s no real gossip in my life. I’m still getting decent amounts of role-playing, board games and swimming in, so all is good!
