The good…
I went into The Cafe this morning and Mr TT and Other Cafe Guy both made a big song and dance about it. Where had I been? Had I been on holiday?! They hadn’t seen me in ages!
I pointed out that I had Monday off. Today is Tuesday. That is ONE day not at [...]

dear aunty blue

Facebook. Love it or hate it, it’s changed how many people live their lives. The anti-FB arguments revolve around it making life too easy, taking away the need to make the effort, resulting in friendships that don’t really exist. Do I really know the 300+ people in my “friends” list? Probably not. Would I weed [...]

Here is my violence, this is the excuse.
Don’t expect this post to be particularly well-written, not that any of this blog is. Goodness, look at that for a clanger immediately. Shocking sentence construction. Yeah, anyway, please overlook my completely forgetting how to properly put the English language together. As the header suggests, I am [...]

And finally from me today. I got this email from Edge Monkey.

Air cushioned soles
I bought them on the Portbello Road on a Saturday
I stop and stare awhile
A common pastime when conversation goes astray
And don’t think I’m walking out of this
She don’t mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don’t really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
Blue, blue jeans I wear them every [...]

Look at this lovely little fellow that we met in Pets at Home in Little City at the weekend while stocking up on ratty stuff. Isn’t he lovely? Pity hamsters are little more than breathing logs with sharp teeth.

Last night, while staggering down the road, I called Beardy and left a long and drunken voicemail. I am hilarious. Then I called him again - although having just spoken to a recording, I am not sure what made me do this - and he answered and I whittered on at length about, well, nothing [...]

I am hungover. Rather too hungover considering the pathetic amount I drank last night. Am subsequently rather ratty (in the grumpy sense rather than the furry sense) and am hoping it lifts before I leave work later because at the moment I can’t be arsed to go to Cesspit for the piss up. [...]

blue goes batty

Today I have not been around much. This is because I have been in Elmers End where the sun never shines talking to a bunch of engineering-related types about the Great Crested Newt, badger underpasses beneath major roads and how to develop and maintain a bat DNA database. Venting you will love it, it’s all [...]

Firstly, I am feeling really bad. I fucked up today. Someone sent me a text at 7am which woke me up. It is Someone’s graduation ceremony today, but he has been up all night sitting in his garden looking at the stars and drinking beer, thinking about his time at university and how today’s [...]

bloody woman driver

I forgot to mention this over the weekend.
I was on the A3 on Saturday early afternoon, travelling out of London at a reasonable speed. I came over the bridge at Shannon Corner and all of a sudden the fast-flowing traffic ground to a halt. Bum. There was a long old queue ahead (a great view [...]

Today while being pulled along like a little fish in a shoal of hurrying commuters, I got a pang that we women get sometimes. Ladyfolk have a built-in thingymejiggy that makes us feel broody. This is to ensure the continuation of the human race (as outlined by Dylan Moran in his fabulous stand ups). Every [...]

drugs are bad, m’kay?

Your Personality Is Like Marijuana

You’re laid back and easy going, so much so that taking a shower is often too much trouble for you!
Nevertheless, you’re quite popular, and many people enjoy your company. You’re rarely turned down.
You’re prone to giggle fits, paranoia, and forgetting where you are exactly.

I would just like to publicly thank Sarah at He Loves Me Not for nominating me as a Rockin’ Girl Blogger.

So, lets play “spot the person with the hangover”.
I don’t feel like blogging.
I don’t even remember writing that post last night.
I don’t really remember getting home. There was chicken all over the desk (drunken chicken shop visits, one of my boozed-up weaknesses). My clothes and belongings were strewn all over the floor. I woke up [...]
