It’s a bit past ten. I haven’t been home long. I am tired. My feet hurt. A lot. I used to love my Fuck-Me-Boots because they were so comfy and I could dance the night away in them and a mini skirt (and a top of course). I guess I never gave enough credit to [...]

I love this saying but… Who is Larry and what (or who) made him so happy?
Well, there is no definitive answer, it seems, but this is as good as I got:
“[Q]Who is Larry and why is he happy?
“[A] A neat question, but American readers in particular will need some background before I can address it. [...]

Yes they are. How does one go about cutting them up?!
Well, I was researching this on the internet (yes, this thing you are on right now) and I came across this fantastic aubergine fact that I just couldn’t let pass by without sharing. It is fascinating - really! And you think I am joking… Anyway, [...]

How the hell can they justify this?!?!? The fucking trains have made me late for work EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST FORTNIGHT!!!!!
Everything really is just nothing short of ridiculous today.
I need to go and talk to the ducks.

Thoughts that gripped my brain today while trying to get to Boots on Victoria Street, Blink 182’s “Feeling this” blasting eardrums:
Where the hell did I put my Benjy’s card?
Don’t drive your little monster in pram into me
“Perambulator” is an underused word
Oh yeah, that’s it, use it to stop the traffic
I’d like to cross the road [...]

Just had an email from my Paps. He says:
“Can you think of stuff you’d like for Christmas (over and above money)? Wrap-up things.”
So far the reply looks like this:
The traditional box of Ferrero Rocher
If you had a lot of wrapping paper you could wrap up a Porche 911 Turbo… (with a full tank of [...]

On the escalator late again - thanks SWT and Network Rail, you fuckers. Why is it always MY train?!!?! Why can’t you screw up just ten minutes after my train has passed through safely? I hate you.
So, at 9.45 (yes, an hour later than scheduled as usual - in fact, I might start documenting [...]

Sundays are awful. A day of chores. And if not, a day of feeling guilty for not doing the chores. Today I am avoiding the following fun and games:
Cleaning the bath
Cleaning the shower
Cleaning the sink
Picking all the clothes up off the floor
Sorting out the washing
Putting washing load #1 on
Washing up the past week’s worth of [...]

Well, yesterday yesterday yesterday. My only real conclusion is that I don’t think I have got what it takes anymore.
Most of the day was spent doing really very little. Woken at 9 by a text from P and grinned openly that I was tucked up in bed and he was tearing here and there in [...]

I would have titled this “The worst or best lyric ever heard in the world ever” but I don’t want to commit to that and if I heard a worse one I wouldn’t be able to share it. Also, please note that on my old blog I once commented: ” ‘I’m looking for a guard [...]

1. The man behind the counter in Subway asked for my phone number. While it is obviously very flattering that he finds my face agreeable (or perhaps it wasn’t my face), all I wanted was a bite to eat. I did wonder if I would get a free sub if I gave it to him [...]

Just while I have this in my head. Yesterday I nearly killed a lot of irritating people on Oxford Street. All I wanted was a book (which I now have and it is totally fantastic). As well as getting pissed off with morons to my left, to my right, ahead and, likely, behind too (although [...]

You know, I am so peeved about earlier that I have completely forgotten what my JET was this morning (although at 10.30 it was getting on for the afternoon… train nightmare bastards again. Oh, I haven’t the energy).
This is going to take some serious thinking about. If it comes back to me, I will [...]

Not a lot got done today. I saw The Mother for all of about ten minutes. She did my head in from the word go. Note, don’t tell your daughter she looks chunky. I was (unusually - haha) in a bad mood as a result so I sodded off to town and then [...]

I am a pansy.
It is Friday night and I am holed up inside watching Children in Need with a rat about my person somewhere - let me stop you before you start making diry jokes, that’s not what I mean - and eating cheese and Pringles off a breadboard because I am too lazy to [...]

The report is back! It is super. I am pretty certain it is the best publication I have ever produced. It’s perhaps not as fun as some of my old newspapers, but top quality. I keep stroking the UV spot gloss on the cover. Now that it is back the memories of crappiness of the [...]

JET for 17/11/06: On the escalator down to the tube today I was struck by two thoughts. The first was that I really, really, really ought to just walk to the office, especially when it is dry like this morning. It will only be a matter of time before the UK weather turns to what [...]

This is nothing to do with my job. This is back to what I do best: ranting about morons travelling around and to and from London…
This will be short and to the point. It serves only to provide a release.
To moron #1: The man in the seat behind me. Why did you have to fidget [...]

I said earlier that I would make up for this morning’s rubbish blog entry later today. Well, things change and right now, at a bit past 5pm I really, categorically, no chance in hell have zero intention of rectifying this. I promise that I did at the time. But “at the time” was, well, at [...]

You ever get a day when you just can’t be bothered to do anything? (Sometimes I ask questions that have the most obvious answers don’t I? – Oh, and there’s another…) Anyway, today has been one of those. Everything has felt like massive tasks that I can’t face.
Like, take the bath for instance. I love [...]

The good:
I am recycling paper! Just like a good recent graduate. Well, perhaps not that recent really. It just feels like it sometimes. Printed out the Annual Review earlier in the week as proofing on a physical page is a lot easier than on the screen… So there is a lot of paper on my [...]

JET for 10/11/06: I decided to take the lefthand escalator today for a bit of variety. There wasn’t really anything else going through my head as I went down it other than “as you are on the lefthand escalator today [insert my name here] you must be sure to turn right at the end of [...]

Ok, I was just traipsing down the escalator at Waterloo on my usual route to the Westbound Jubilee platform when I decided upon a new regular feature for my blog. SJ details his hair length. Good old Bridget tells us her weight, ciggies, wine intake… I have a thought everyday on the second (of the [...]

I’ll keep this suitably anger-filled.
I am not being fed after all. Nevermind. I am sure the freezer has some culinary “delight” to offer.
Morons in London: they are everywhere. They get in my way on purpose. They stop right in front of me at the Tube ticket barrier to hunt around in stupid massive bags for [...]

Why is it that all of London’s morons are drawn to Waterloo at peak commuter flow times? Are they magnetic and attracted to the station by an unseen force?
They should all be fitted with sensors that won’t let them through the doors until we harangued train travellers have all managed to clear the platforms and [...]

NOTE - this was mostly composed on my laptop on the journey in to work, along with the next two posts. The wee ending was just written now.
I arrived at the station this morning at my usual 7.20am to see a large group of angry-looking CTs and other assorted commutery people crowded around [...]

Well, the train was late again today. This time we rocked up at Waterloo 12 wasted minutes later than scheduled so I was properly late to the office. As I had the day off yesterday, this was a particularly bad state of affairs as there is much to do - catch up on work not [...]
