A bit under the weather

November 20, 2006

There is nothing wrong with feeling a little off-colour. It could be anything from a headache, or runny nose, to a dose of the ‘can’t be arsed to get out of bed’s’. None of which is what I would call a proper illness. Which is why I am bemused when people desperately seek an ailment [...]

Did you find what you wanted? #5

November 19, 2006

So, this weeks genuine winner goes to the person looking for “Dogshit from my carpet”. I have been in this situation myself and I know the sheer panic that sets in when you realise you’ve trodden dog excrement into your shag pile. What I don’t understand however, is how that panic leads to an urgency [...]

Do they think we're stupid?

November 16, 2006

I am watching CSI:Miami, a Miami based spin-off the American hit show CSI (Crime Scene Investigations), but in Miami, like. I don’t know why I am so intrigued by these shows. I think it is a bit like my parents watching Colombo, in that there is a certain satisfaction in guessing who dunnit before the [...]

Girl talk

November 15, 2006

We sit in the pub with a post-salsa glow and I sip my refreshing pint whilst listening to my female friends discuss our recently completed class. “My god, that instructor moves so well!” points out female-friend-number-1 a little too enthusiastically. “I know, he’s like a rock, and when he moves, you can’t help but go [...]

Sweet nothings in my ear…

November 14, 2006

Below is a list of things that have recently been whispered in my ear  by the opposite sex (that is ‘women’ for those that need any clarification): “Not like that!” “Do I always have to make the first move?” “That’s not how my last bloke did it, you’re all over the place.” “You know, this [...]

A courtesy call

November 13, 2006

“Hello, is that Mr Angry.” “It is I.” “Excellent, Hello Mr Angry, my name is Robert from Sky, this is just a courtesy call regarding the service you receive from us. We record these calls for training and security purposes, is that OK?” “Well, it is Sunday lunchtime, but fire away.” “Great, thanks. I see [...]

Did you find what you wanted? #4

November 11, 2006

A whole month of this drivel and still no pleas to dump it like a Filipino mail-order bride that arrived with a couple of extra ‘features’ not part of the mandated specifications. You people really don’t have any discernible taste at all, do you? Anyway this weeks Internet reprobate is from Brighton, and no, they [...]

Christmas comes earlier

November 10, 2006

Yes yes, I know, the shops have their Christmas stock up even earlier this year. Quel surprise. I hate it too, but if there’s one thing I despise more than the fact that every retail outlet is advertising Christmas earlier every year, it is the people who feel the need to keep pointing this out [...]

Those bloody poppies

November 9, 2006

Before you start thinking I am anti-Remembrance Sunday, don’t. That would be wrong. I am merely anti the rubbish poppies that we continue to be sold year on bloody year. I am now on poppy number 3 this year, and it is only Thursday. I will probably have to buy another one over the weekend. [...]
