    Because I am very sad I have been excited for a very long time about the fact that today the clock would read 11:11:11 and the date 11/11/11. However, just before my two minutes silence I suddenly realised I'd made a massive **** up on a project I'm working on. So, as soon as I had paid my respects, I quickly set about trying to resolve the problem.

    Imersed in redeeming myself, I looked up at the clock and to my dismay it was 11.23. Bloody missed it. But, being a positive, glass half full kind-of-guy I thought "Ah well, only another 11 years and it will be 22:22:22 22/22/22!" Except at that point I realised it won't, as there aren't 22 months in the year. And given that I will be 130 when it is next 11:11:11 11/11/11 in 2111 I think it is safe to assume I have well and truly missed the boat.

    Rubbish.

    Just put your watch back a couple of hours and enjoy the experience. Or just forget about it, it won't enrich your life.

    It just doesn't have the same beautiful simplicity to it though does it.

    I need to get out more.

    Just console yourself with the thought it would have been 11/11/2011 anyway!
