The conversation

April 15, 2008

I am in the pub and can not help but hear the following conversation. “Is it a boy or girl?” “We don’t know, and don’t want to know. It’ll be a surprise. Apparently you get male and female sperm, so I guess it depends on which were the stronger swimmers.” “Breast feeding?” “Yeah probably.” “Excellent. [...]

Drunk people amuse me

April 10, 2008

Drunk people are funny. There is no escaping this fact. I realise that much of the humour they bring to the world is unintentional, but that does not make it any less valuable. As the weather has been improving a little bit of late, and with the lighter evenings, it seems that midweek drinking is [...]

Where are all the thick kids?

April 8, 2008

When I was at school, we had plenty of thick kids around. I know this because I was considered to be of ‘well above average’ intelligence. When I was ten a teacher told my parents that I should start bringing in a newspaper as there was little more they could teach me.  For that to [...]

Recycling

April 7, 2008

They have introduced some new recycling bins where I live. This is a good thing, as I like to do my bit to save the world. It reminded me of my first few days in the flat which I now call home. I was under the impression I had already told this tale, but a [...]

I become those who/whom/which I loathe

April 4, 2008

I do not do the good grammar. Anyone who has paid more than passing notice to this site will know this fact. Rarely a week goes by without some glaring error on my part being pointed out to me in the comments below. I generally thank them politely and get on with my day, as [...]

In a hurry

April 3, 2008

Until some media mogul offers me a six-figure deal for the contents of this blog, and my additional life story (note to potential publishers – I am willing to include the life story bit for free), I will continue to use public transport. It is far from ideal, admittedly, and mixing with the proles is [...]

You are not the boss of me

April 2, 2008

I really hate it when people put ‘lol’, or some simpleton derivation thereof, at the end of their sentences. It tends to read a bit like an instruction telling me to do ‘a little lol’ after reading what they have written. Unfortunately, much like my younger days when a meal would be put in front [...]

The Cockney Red

April 1, 2008

I do not usually mention sports, as I do not want to alienate my six female readers. However, the football team I support took a bit of a beating against Manchester United this weekend. There is nothing unusual in that, as they have been doing it to us for years. Unfortunately, living two hundred miles [...]
