Ah Shrek 2. It just never fails, Shrek or Shrek 2, to put me in a good mood and give me hope for the future. It's so beautiful, so romantic, and yet a hard, masculine film - adrenaline fuelled chases and sexually charged encounters between the two protaganists ( Read more... )

You know, Gandhi was a fairly decent guy. I mean, he had his flaws - such as the idea that peaceful protest could ever be more interesting than blowin' shit up. But I heard today that when he lost a shoe out a train (nobody knows how) he chucked the other one out after it so whoever found them could have a pair. Obviously most people would do ( Read more... )

man, so I was up for sleeping with this pikey girl who seemed to wear nothing but a belt last night... sleeping with her in my friends spare room on a big double bed. She had the most gorgeous legs - for serious. I mean, Jodie Albert's got it going on, but this girl had something going on too. Anyway, I was in the process of kissing her, and ( Read more... )

My manager at work, all she and her husband do is read a phenomenal amount. They subscribe to like a billion journals (5) including the Economist and Foreign Policy, two heavyweight magazines. Now, I buy the Economist and this bad boy takes me a loooong time to read. Well, a day. But a full day of quite intensive reading if I can be bothered, ( Read more... )

Man, it's true what they say - ham DOES smell like rotting pig flesh. It's probably because that's what it is. Something of a truism perhaps, but it's just that whenever I've been to a butchers, or even passed one, THAT smell - associated in my mind with gutted piggy bodies hanging by their hind legs - is exactly the same as the stench that hits ( Read more... )

Today was the final bout in the opening fight of my career taking on the agents of globalization - namely, the chiefest enemy, the Princess of Darkness, Donna Karan. It was a surprisingly easy victory actually - they actually seemed to want me to beat them ( Read more... )

Here's why Michael Howard should never be Prime Minister:

"I think the world is a safer place without Saddam Hussein. I also think it is very important to tell the country the truth. Although I think it was right to go to war, I don't think the Prime Minister told us the truth about the intelligence he had received". Oooh, you got him on the ( Read more... )

Today, I had a real problem that I occasionally get. My boss had to repeat the same sentence over 3 times because I could hear the words but I couldn't get their meaning. It was "have you got enough work to do?". He wasn't explaining string theory. I recognised all the words but I just couldn't pattern them and interpret them. Weird ( Read more... )

death by raining. I got absolutely mullered by some intense rain this morning. It was just drizzling then suddenly BAM! a gale force wind blew my umbrella inside out and you couldn't see 20 metres in front because the rain was so thick. I legged it, but in the 20 seconds I was out in it my trousers got so soaked that they've taken 6 hours to dry ( Read more... )

wooo, my claim to squash brilliance.... beating somebody that I thought would be good.

Huzzah.
