But I was happier to do it once I'd played silly beggars for a while. It didn't make it feel so 'I have no life'.<br /><br />What She Said - I am such good role model material, leading others to a wasted life. If only there were more role models like me. <br /><br />Jemi - the possibilities are endless and you can avoid marking for as long as you like. Except that you may end up, should you leave it too long, googling 'alternative careers'.<br /><br />Karen G - I've still got my stats, so I don't know if that's a general thing.<br /><br />Deborah - people are obviously eating a lot of spinach these days.<br /><br />MummySquared - the most entries I have on google are for a place in Wales with my name. It's not encouraging.<br /><br />The Japanese Student - isn't EVERYBODY asking that question???<br /><br />Jenny - hours of fun, and a totally purposeless existence.

It must take a while, or more than 1 entry, for Google to start suggesting it. I was surprised that when I got as far as "what to do when" the suggested completion was mostly "your [sic] bored".
