Sandwich rule

I've always been fascinated by how sandwiches pretty much conform to the rule "You get what you pay for."

Which isn't to say that sandwiches aren't over-priced - they are - but just that if you pay £1.00 for a sandwich you get about a fifth as good a sandwich as if you pay £5.00 for a sandwich.

I've also always been fascinated by expressions such as the above - you get what you pay for. I mean, that's a fairly innocuous and obvious one, but generally I love expressions and try to shoe-horn them into any conversation I'm having.

Not much of a blog entry, but I've been kinda busy this last couple of days. It's been kinda fun - I've been doing what I call "reprographics" which is basically the company is attending a roadshow in the near future and we need a big logo for the board as well as some "letterhead" type paper and name badges and stuff and I've been making them up.

We're not really that sort of a company so it's taken probably five times as long for me to do it in photoshop, rather than a proper design program, but as I say, we're not that sort of company so we don't tend to have those sorts of programs hanging around. Still, kinda fun.

I've always said there were only ever two things I wanted to do in life. The first was sing and the other was draw comic books.

I can't do either, unfortunately, as I don't have either vocal or drawing talent; however, through seer bloody mindedness I have sorta ended up with a few basic skills with the old photoshop, so it's fun to flex them every so often.
