One long weekend, then I’m at work for 2 days, and then I’m off for the next 3 working days. Wicked. After covering for Allen for the entire of August while him and his wife swanned around Oz, NZ and Vegas I thought I deserved a break. So I’m taking one.
As such, and with coursework deadlines also looming, posting may be sporadic over the next week or so. I may not even post all that **** from the archives I’ve been forcing on you recently. Don’t cry – this should be a relief.
I have also got a shitload of stuff to sort/move in the house as I’ve just been nominated / pressganged into being the Merchandise Office for ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha, the official Douglas Adams fan club. As such, I now have about 4 binbags and 10 cardboard boxes full of all sorts of weird **** clogging up my spare room.
I can’t believe I’m 31 and a member of the committee of an SF fan club. How ******* sad? Oh, and it’s definitely “SF” and not “sci fi” apparently. Unless you’re in Ireland, where cries of “I love SF” will either result in being given a pint of Guinness or being kneecapped, depending on which half of the country you’re in. Apparently one is preferable to the other but I’m ****** if I can figure out which it is. Guinness, after all, is like bland road tar.
And if you didn’t understand that, go here. I’m too ******* tired to explain it to you ***** right now. Even you ******* at Stansted.
Oh, there may be swearing in this post.
Bollocks.
It took me a full 2 minutes to get the SF thing, I’m that braindead.
Being in the fan club at the age of 31 isn’t sad. If you still lived at home, were a virgin, and worked at Best Buy, some other puter shop, or McDonalds, THEN it would be sad.
As for accusations that I pop into the h2g2 site on the rare occasion, they are EXTREMELY inaccurate
*cough*
OFF TOPIC:
Mosh: Owen just signed 4 years with Newcastle. Tell me I knew some toon news before you.
Chris – sorry, no. Knew about it about 2 hours ago. I was going to text you, but figured you’d already know.
Babs – I live in *my* home, but not with my folks so I assume that doesn’t count. Definitely not a virgin. There are several posters on this blog who can attest to that… I am such a tart. I have in the past worked at PC World and McDonald’s. And hated both to the point where I avoid them when possible.
Oh, and you all want to join ZZ9 cos it’s dead good. And you can buy some cracking t-shirts and stuff.
It’s okay as long as you never… NEVER… dress up as one of the characters.
During the last Irish election (was living there), Sinn Fein’s manifesto actually made the most sense of any of the political parties. Which just goes to show what a ******-up scary-ass country Ireland is.
ps. I’d just like to state for the record that I’ve never had sex with Mosh.
ireland scary, nah , it,s just out of focus, then again it could be me whose drunk
Alan – if you haven’t who the hell was it who said it *was* you? I only did that thing with the cactus, linseed oil and jiffy bag because he said he was a famous author. Bastard!
Barry – or not drunk enough, perhaps? Personally, I like Ireland and – on the whole – I like the Irish. The country is ****** up though. But politics and religion do that to a place. Shame.
pah – we don’t get this bank holiday – we only get 6 per year… there again we do get 31 days holiday
And you get Jan 2nd. And no licensing hours. And 24/7 shopping (no silly Sunday closing). And no need to take your registration documents to the garage if you need a new number plate. And no smoking in public places.
So shut the hell up!
Guinness made me the man I am today!
Not a pretty sight I must say.
Guinness made one of my mates twice the man he was. He used to be a swimming champ at school and uni. After working full time and drinking to match, it took him 6 months to have a beer belly he could perch his pint on.
