I am in reicept of an events calendar for the Q1 2012

[AB Editor]

It may interest you that there are many holidays, awareness weeks and "something"-days all around us right now.

For example, the painfully obvious "Diet Resolution Week" began on the first and will come to a magnificent conclusion on the 7th (we assume there won't be a party, or if there is, there won't be cake.)

At exactly the same time it's Folic Acid Awareness Week. I say, personally, we're all well aware of Folic Acid and needn't be patronized in such a way.

AND in the VERY SAME WEEK it is also"Personal Trainer Awareness Week" - in which, I suppose, they turn up check your spare tire, suck in some air and say "cor, that'll cost you".

Also, today it is Braille day, which is nice.

And finally, I am sorry to announce that Chocolate Covered Cherry Day has passed us un-annouced. I know, I know, I can't believe I didn't use that logo either.

What "Awareness Weeks" would you like to see added to this ridiculous roster?

[China Doll]

China Doll Appreciation Week.

[sunny-dave]

"chuck an alternative-therapy-promoting celebrity in a skip week" would be good ...

[wolf63]

Stick annoying tom cats in the wheelie bin week sounds tempting.

[fliptheswitch]

Rat-Gate week.

Where all living rats are culled!

[AB Editor]

Further research reveals it is also Hypnotism day today, and amusingly, Trivia Day.

[bibblebub]

is today 'event calendar awareness day'?

[ichkeria]

"Also, today it is Braille day, which is nice. "

Well, touching at the very least.
From what I read above it is obvious that we need an "Awareness Week" Awareness Day - as I was sadly unaware of all of the above. ..

[bibblebub]

in that case maybe this should be 'unawareness awareness week'

Made me think of this: http://www.theonion.c...awareness-month,2853/

I used to have an NHS calendar which reminded me that February 14th was 'Impotence Awareness Day' - ho, ho and indeed ho.

Indeed, according to this list, it still is (as part of Contraceptive Awareness Week) ...

[sunny-dave]

Oi jno - you've made my monitor all fingerprinty ...

[David Black]

[mccfluff]

[China Doll]

Celebration of the bacon and (yellow bit of) egg roll day.

I'm having an "Oh sod it I've just spent a fortune at M&S day"............

[China Doll]

Did you buy me something nice?

[craft1948]

Some trousers, a top, a sweater, 2 bras..................and a rug (which cost more than I wanted to spend but looks lush)

[China Doll]

Lets see your rug then, is it online?

I have some next vouchers. I'm supposed to be getting things like that too. Currently I'm in a sulk as there's a gorgeous pair of claret, patent ballerina shoes that I've seen on sale in some next shops in just about every size except mine and apparently there's no possible way for them to check to see if there's a size 7 in another branch.

Any my favourite perfume has been discontinued, (although that is not Next's fault).

<Sigh> Rant over.
