Stardom awaits!

December 14, 2006

I have joined a band!!!* I had originally just gone to meet some people off of the Internet for a drink, but this is how quickly things can change in the 21st Century world we live in. I was quite pleasantly surprised at how lovely all the women were. None of them were really 50 [...]

If it is good enough for Dubbya

December 13, 2006

I have a thing about fixing elections. It is both bad and wrong. Plus I think it might be borderline illegal. Anyway. Despite this, I believe that in this case it be should actively encouraged. My flatmate (the twat) nominated JonnyB* for a Weblog of the year award. In their infinite wisdom they saw fit [...]

The Dark Ages

December 12, 2006

I sat on my sofa intently watching my team, Aston Villa, in action against Sheffield United on the the Monday Night Football Special on Sky Sports 1. The game was on a knife-edge. It was 2-2 with 20 minutes to go, and the action was end to end. Chunk! My entire world went black in [...]

Grill my sandwich

December 11, 2006

“I’ll have a 6 inch club on wheat please,” I say to the hygienically wrapped youth at the local Subway. I do like a Subway sandwich every now and again, and the one around the corner from the office is getting a bit more business from me than is perhaps healthy. Oh well, it is [...]

Another one bites the dust

December 10, 2006

General Pinochet has shuffled off this mortal coil, not painfully enough in my mind, but at least he’s gone. Saddam will probably be gone within the month, and, as these things tend to come in threes, which ‘megalomaniac who caused untold misery’ will be next do you think? When did President Bush have his last [...]

Mr Angry Consumer Warrior

December 8, 2006

I am influencing society!!! I recently wrote about an incident at my local DVD store, where I was finding it difficult to identify which films were the new releases, and how I ended up leaving said store without making a purchase after a brief, and thoroughly unproductive, exchange with a staff member. Well, they have [...]

Doing what you can

December 7, 2006

We had a large customer meeting in our Head Office recently. As an Important Person I had to do a little bit of meeting and greeting to the arriving hoards. Just before the customers began arriving we undertook some last minute preparation on the main room where everyone would spend the day. It was all [...]

Super secret discounts (nudge nudge, wink wink!)

December 6, 2006

So. How many of you have received a super secret email in the last week or so offering you a gigantic 40% discount off of certain types of booze at Threshers in the run up to Christmas? Come on, hands up. I am guessing that it is all of you. Even the Muslims. And still [...]

The Dinner Party

December 5, 2006

I go for dinner with a group of friends, to celebrate one of their birthdays. The conversation was flowing, and I was being hilarious and charming, as normal. The pre-dinner topics included deadly spiders, the Ashes, and how UK snakes are really rubbish (yes, there were some Aussies in our midst). The wine was flowing [...]

Pedestrian Politeness

December 4, 2006

A little while ago Katy came up with the excellent concept of Road Politeness. Though very clever, and revolutionary, I have not been able to employ it myself, as the heightened emotional state I find myself in when behind the wheel of my car precludes me from being as clever as Katy in the heat [...]
