Damn, I’m knackered. Hardly slept this week between coursework, rampaging neighbours and excessive masturbation. I really need better hobbies.
Had the guy two doors over yelling his head off outside last night. Now, he’s normally OK. Spoken to him a few times but generally, they’re a quiet household. Him, his other half (who’s well cute) and their ickle baby. Surprised the hell out of me to hear him.
He was kicking and banging at the back door and window (I assume the bedroom – it’s a bungalow) and crying – not angry crying, real bubbling. Ranting about someone being dead on his birthday or something.
Maybe he’s Catholic. Hmm. Hadn’t though of that.
Addictive
They’re far too more-ish. Morrison’s peanuts, raisins and choc chips are like a do-it-yourself Picnic bar. Only more nibbly. And with peanuts. Also cheaper. And far more addictive.
Once you pop, you just can’t stop, Mr Pringles? Nowt compared to these.
Other annoyingly more-ish foodstuffs include:
- Midget Gems
- Satsumas
- Popcorn (salty, of course)
None of these ever fill me up. Actually, that’s a fib – popcorn does eventually
but it takes ages. I could eat Midget Gems till I burst but I’m sure they just
turn into air and escape out of my arse in noxious farty clouds. Anyone who’s
sat next to me the day after I’ve polished a bag off will know this.
Any more?
Month names
I noticed something today. Don’t ask me how. I just kind of did. Anyway, how come some girls are names after months but boys aren’t? April/Avril, June, May… I’ve even heard of one July.
OK, OK, so there’s Augustus but anyone who calls their kid that is asking to be shot by a psychopathic example of bully-fodder by the time the poor ******’s 16. After all, who’d want to be named “Tunnel-Tester Smith” or “Uphill-Gardener Jones”?
It also seems to be the Spring / Summer months that get used. This is a shame. Look at some of the Winter ones. They’re well ‘ard. January isn’t bad, but October really rocks.
Actually, thinking about it, it sounds a bit like a bad guy from a Fantastic Four cartoon. Hmmm… Doktor Oktober. Hell, yeah. Right – I want a son.
For Adam
Get a proper browser, you muppet. Then you won’t miss out on the daily updates.
Flipping Firefox. Bloody amateur-hour crap.
Sainsbury’s Honey Roasted Peanuts and Cashews. Trust me on this.
Firefox! Firefox! Firefox(ed)!
Quick Iain, come on, jump on the bandwagon 😉
There is a guy on a Channel 4 programme called Coach trip, don’t ask how I got to see this, and his name is Winter.
cheese
any sort of cheese
it’s great
and cheese in other things is great too – eg. cheese straws, mmmmmmmm
Baron Samedi from James Bond (yeah, I know it’s day of the week rather than a month but if SWMBO can have a season then I reckon it’s fair game)
Oh God, I’m going to show my age here.
January was the name of a girl in the title of a 1970’s pop song by a group called Pilot.
Ha ha, you’re old
oh bugger, so am I
Finally someone else that likes salted popcorn 🙂
and I’m with Janetyjanet on the cheese thing.
“Excessive masturbation”. Shurely an oxymoron?
Apologies for any spelling mistakes, my hands are full.
Science bloke: you’re just getting me back for that comment about you in the lab from a couple of weeks ago…
Caz: *MY* salty popcorn! GRRRRR
JJ / Alan: I, too, am old. But not old enough to remember Pilot, obviously.
Hey, there’s Wednesday Addams, too. But fictional doesn’t count!
If we are moving on to days of the week:
Tuesday Weld
Wednesday Lea Packer
are two that spring to mind.
SFG
Well, Dido had just finished playing…
RE the names, Julias/Julian gave us July. Jan – obviously, although I suppose Mark is pushing it a bit (I’m assuming that March isn’t named after Marcus Aurelius).
Jan is usually foreign (or at least American wife-beating, drunken filmstarry) and pronounced Yan. And it’s a stretch to say it comes from Janus, but you never know.
Maybe they don’t use months because there are so many other stupid names they can use. Fifi Trixabell, anyone? Moon Unit? Dweezil?
You gotta love Frank for Dweezil and Moon unit.
When police broke in to Paula Yates’ house, they found, amphetamine sulphate and anti depressants in her bedroom, the rest of the kids were playing in the garden.
/taxi!
I like salty popcron too – hate the sweet stuff.
And wine. Wine is addictive. Especially when I have so many bottles……….
*pings some of Anni’s popcorn at SFG*
And don’t let the bugger beep his horn in the street when he comes to get you. It’s after lights-on.
mmmmm – I’ve just had two (fizzy) ones – does that still count?
hic
Bugger that’s be just getting the updates now – this browser is so slow ….. hang on I didn;t get the updates because I ain’t been in :o).
Come on Iain, see the light, ditch Big Bill’s unsecure browser, get yourself Firefox, Mouse gestures, and ad blockers, your surfing will be even quicker on that small 512Kb connection of yours :o)
Hell, if you like IE that much, you can even get Firefox to impersonate it, with all the added benefits of Firefox.
I’ve *never* been the victim of an insecurity of IE. Mouse gestures are a pointless novelty – tried them. I have ad blockers already. I don’t like tabbed browsing – I prefer multiple windows. All the plug-ins I have for IE work – I can’t get some of them (at the very lest not in beta) for Firefox.
I’ve got Firefox installed purely so I can check that any web pages I make work on it. It gets fired up maybe twice a month.
I’m using something which, for me, does the job. It works. It does it well. Why on earth would I bother changing?
