liability

Last night.
Ok.
*major exhalation*
A quiet drink (”I am leaving at 9pm on the dot, ok!?!?!!!!” ;) turned into a cocktail scoffing bender that saw this 5′4, 9 stone (and getting chunkier by the day) liability pack away 19.5 units ON HER OWN, including the couple of quiet drinks in Temple Walkabout before the real drinking began.
It also [...]

Ok, so last night we went to some function thing. I am not thinking straight today and have the shakes. I don’t recall drinking all that much really. Guess it was a combination of champagne, lack of food, being tired and…
…having to sit through a two hour debate with some of the candidates for the [...]

Today’s horoscope:
Aries:
Someone you haven’t seen in years will contact you out of the blue. Surprisingly, you’ll be able to pick right up where you left off.
This is the blue *gestures to el bloggo*! Will someone contact me out of it?
You guys are unlikely to get a sensible post out of me today (not that [...]

What part of “No, I don’t want to go for dinner” did he misunderstand? What is so hard about the word “no”? Is it the N or the O part?
ARGH!

Last night I had a nightmare with trains. The problem is, this wasn’t the fault of the trains, their operators or even Network Rail. It all came about because I am impossibly tired and haven’t been thinking straight for a few days (years?). Anyway, I am not going into any detail, but at 6pm last [...]

So, the media has been commenting how old Tony Blair looks, saying that the scandals surrounding his time in office have taken their toll.
I love how they’re all overlooking the fact that it’s been 10 fricking years. Of course he looks old!! You don’t live 10 years and see no change (unless you are Joan [...]

…were the words I desperately wanted to shriek on a number of occasions last night.
As 5pm ticked around yesterday, I was still chained to my desk. Now, I am an open-minded kinda gal, but chains don’t have any kind of place in the work place. I’m up to my eyeballs.
Lost train of thought. Sorry.

I am in a much better mood this afternoon. Part of this is down to wearing my Fuck Me Boots. They always make me feel great. And also, part of it is down to my School Teacher Skirt. There is something impossibly hard to explain about this outfit that always makes me feel good. All [...]

Oh no! SalesGirl just emailed all of us about going on lunch.
She said, “12.30? Have you [all] got lunch?”
I replied: “I have [got lunch] but I don’t fancy it.” [left over curry] “Have you got lunch?”
She said: “Of course not!”
And then she used the dreaded ‘c’ word: “I want chips!”
And my poor curry? Forget it. [...]

…why all* children should be rounded up and publicly culled.
Strolling along VS this morning, enjoying the sunshine (but walking at a sensible pace, none of this ridiculous dawdling that I hate), and a group of school children are walking towards me. No big deal, happens every day. The scruffy little buggers look like they could [...]

Wow, hackles raised at 8.46am today. (Well, before that actually, but this was the first incident within the work environment.) Now consider that it was 8.43am as I walked through the front door.
Booting up el PC-o, I did the usual log in and open Outlook, while hunting through my bag for my purse to head [...]

So, the fuckers (sorry, I mean SWT management) have decided that you HAVE to purchase your ticket before you get on the train now - and can’t just jump on it and buy from the train guard as (s)he walks through. If you don’t get your ticket before you get on, you will be charged [...]

I’m not feeling too hot today guys. Slept proper roughly last night. Partly my own fault I guess. Been reading The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult. Well, say been reading… mean been struggling to read. But last night, following on from the night before (that I didn’t detail and don’t intend to), I felt a [...]

Very occasionally I pop along to this site. No point going back too often. Ok, maybe once a week. But I don’t. Anyway, I haven’t been there in a few months and I saw it on another person’s blogroll (no idea who, forgot already). And these are the overheards that tickled me most…

Sometimes I think that you lovely lot can read my mind. That’s another reason why I love you so much. If you would club together to buy me a Porsche 911 Turbo I would love you all even more. It’s my birthday next March.

I don’t believe in horoscopes.
However, I do read mine every day, and more than one as well. We all know they are written in such a way that you could read any sign and it is vague enough that you could say that it relates to you.
But this is not a post about horoscopes and [...]

I am rather busy today. I will try and find the time to come back and detail last night’s quick drink with Purse-Shaped Bruise that turned into two bottles of wine and a meal. In the meantime, I will share a piece of information that I wasn’t going to share with anyone today. I am [...]

As I told Mr Frog, my ratty babies were misbehaving last night. They were like naughty children that wouldn’t go to bed. Yeah, you try persuading two excitable balls of fur that no, you are not spending all night running around under the duvet and no, come here you little scamp, stop wriggling away, and [...]

Oh, and this was initially the highlight of my day, before Mr TT stole it just five minutes later…

Right, first, just to offload… The thing about my new journey is that it involves more walking. In public. Along pavements. With Joe Public, the great unwashed. As well as hating bus drivers, white van men, Nissan Micra/any model of Rover drivers, cyclists and morons on the Tube, I am now adding pedestrians.
And other people [...]

What a weekend!
Last night was mental. Absolutely brilliant. Top. Fantastic. Drunken. Stupid. Silly. Hazy. And a whole bunch of other adjectives besides.
It is summed up by a couple of photos:

You can’t hide
behind social graces
So don’t try

‘Cos you lie

But I got no
problem with that really
What bugs me
is that you believe what you’re saying
What bothers me
is that you don’t know how you feel
What scares me
is that while you’re telling me stories
You actually
believe that they are real

There is nothing I can do about The Snorting, is there? It is really unpleasant, and only adds to the nausea, but it doesn’t break any laws. I can’t imagine that he doesn’t know about it. Why are some men so disgusting?
