I went to the Tesco on Parli Road yesterday and discovered that the street was taped off. The police were everywhere as well as those forensics chaps in white disposable jumpsuits with important looking briefcases. I had no idea what had happened until I checked the BBC news site - here's what occured ( Read more... )

I've spent the whole weekend ringing around for car insurance (AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!) and I have been continually pissed off by pushy sales reps, foreign call centers and general repatation of facts. However, the thing that has pissed me off more than anything is trying to get inncubus written down as a househusband. He's not on the dole, he doesn't ( Read more... )

On Saturday we had a few people over to watch and despair at the quality of Europe's finest via Eurovision 2007. I was most disappointed that we didn't get another rock song as the winner (but very glad the UK's sorry excuse for music didn't win), but Eurovision is pure unadultarated cheese.
I was, however, horrified by the appearence of darkpsychosis ...... ( Read more... )

It's always bad news when there is a message on your answerphone from your Landlord saying he wants to chat. The good news is we're not being evicted, the bad news is we probably will be within the next 12 months. Basically he's selling the house, or rather putting it on the market. He's hoping to sell it to another landlord who'll keep us on.... ( Read more... )

So you decide you're going to have a nice relaxing shower. You let the water run, find a clean towel, lay out some clean clothes, and then get in. When you finally get out and dry yourself, you find your glasses, put them on and that's when you discovery it: there's a cat in your pants. Not only does this mean you have to find a different pair, but ( Read more... )

I feel I need to make a second post as the first was misinterpreted - often the way with writing something down, without the verbal inflections the meaning can be altered accidentally. The post was actually meant to be humorous, and I was trying to do a tongue-in-cheek politically correct crap. I believe if you turn up to a job interview in any ( Read more... )

In the 60's John Howard Griffin wrote a book called 'Black Like Me' which many of you may have heard of. For those of you who have not here is a brief synopsis: The author wanted to explore racism in modern society and find out if racism was as rife as people claimed.The answer was 'Yes'. Griffin attempted to go places and do things firstly ( Read more... )

At 3:30am on Tuesday morning we drove down to Lincolnshire to MOT the car. Are we crazy? Yes! We only do this because it's the only reliable garage we know of, and consider it worth the hassle. Plus it was a good oppertunity to see inncubus's dad. We were actually quite surprised at the traffic: i.e. there was some. Even the lorry drivers seemed to be ( Read more... )
