My job has sucked part of my brain out. I know this to be true.

They will let anyone write for our magazine. I mean, literally anyone. You don't even have to be able to write, necessarily. Just make some random marks on a piece of paper (dead leaf, dirty rag, bit of something you found in the street) and someone (oh, would that be me then?) will interpret it for you and type it into the magic computer box. People who are welcomed in with open arms to write for our magazine include:

1. People who think you don't need a space after a full stop.
2. People who think you need two spaces and a bunch of commas before a full stop.
3. People who long ago abandoned all contact with full stops, or indeed any other punctuation marks.
4. People who think 'a lot' is one word.
5. People who think 'without' is two words.
6. People who think 'dehabiliated' is a word.
7. People who think 'France' doesn't need a capital F.
8. People who say 'band' when they mean 'banned'.
9. People who say 'past' when they mean 'passed'.
10. People who should just give it up, now please.

It's all very well, but they're getting bloody well paid for this crap. Grrrr... And I don't know why I'm thinking about it now - it's Saturday, for goodness sake!
