Man sees Davina McCall in reception.
I saw Davina McCall in reception the other day - you know, from the Garnier Nutrisse adverts. I don't know whether Davina is going prematurely grey, or whether she's just tremendously indecisive, but whatever the reason, she's always dying her hair, and the brand of colourant she uses for this is Garnier Nutrisse. Because as Davina says, " ( Read more... ) -
Change disaster hits Twickenham shopper, 35.
I was in Crown newsagents, 187 Richmond Road, Twickenham TW1 2NJ on Saturday morning, buying a can of Fanta Icy Lemon. It's not my favourite lemon-based soft drink by any means; that's San Pellegrino Limonata, but they don't sell that in Crown newsagents, and Fanta Icy Lemon was the closest equivalent. Well anyway the man in front of me had just ( Read more... ) -
Man makes MP3 player advice request entirely free from tiresome anecdotes.
Hello, as odd is this might sound, I'm asking for advice from my friendslist, which as you know includes the likes of, well I won't name names, but let's just say it's hardly a collection of the finest minds of their generation, is it. I mean, for heaven's sake, it's got publicansdecoy on it, and smogo, but I said I wouldn't name names, didn't I, so that's enough of ( Read more... ) -
Man requests free MP3s in order to make thoughtful yet inexpensive present.
Hello, if you'll permit me to use the term, although it would be a bit weird if you didn't, wouldn't it, I mean I'm only saying "hello", I'm not asking you to take your top off or anything, no, that comes later. Anyway the point is, it's Mumward's birthday this weekend, and as part of her present I'm lovingly wasting time at work recreating an ( Read more... ) -
Ce Ce Peniston provides surprise help for man with memory loss.
I went out for lunch last weekend with Mumward, James Ward and James Ward's girlfriend Alexa. Mumward had phoned me and said she thought it might be a nice idea if the four of us went out and Mumward and I split the bill. Immediately I saw a glaring flaw in this plan, but because I didn't want to appear mean I agreed. Then as soon as I'd ( Read more... ) -
Curtis's Christmas Carol
Well I don't know about you, but I've been buying a lot of presents lately. I seem to do a lot of that sort of thing this time of year, I can't think why. Buying online is my tried and trusted method, since it means you're never forced to listen to Jona Lewie's "Stop The Cavalry" in shops. Of course you have to be careful about what you're ( Read more... ) -
Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Missing Mug.
I recently bought the Complete Sherlock Holmes Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It normally retails at £5.99, but I got it on Amazon Marketplace for 1p, which I think is pretty good value. I mean you can't really haggle very much from 1p, can you. It's 1,408 pages, so I'm confident I'll finish it within the next 2 or 3 years or so. Well I was ( Read more... ) -
Prejudice vindicated on shoe purchase expedition.
I was on Oxford Street on Sunday, buying shoes. Oh I know what you're thinking - you're thinking, "ooh, new shoes, how exciting". And of course normally you'd be right, for the purchase of a new pair of shoes is almost always a happy occasion and I can't be the only person who thinks that instead of half-heartedly trying to interest you in ( Read more... ) -
I've gone and made another bloody cartoon.
As you probably remember - or perhaps you don't, I don't care - last month I saw Lynn Faulds Woods in St Margarets. Well anyway, if you do - and please remember that I don't care whether you do or not - then you might also remember - and if you don't then I don't care about that either - that I've taken to calling it Little Hollywood, despite ( Read more... ) -
Man marks 40th anniversary of invasion of Czechoslovakia with shoddy Livejournal entry.
It's been so long since my last Livejournal entry that there's been an actual war since then. Not a proper one, mind you, just something to keep the Russians match-fit. Also since my last Livejournal entry I've been charged by the police with four separate offences after Oscar decided to chase after some deer in Richmond Park. It wasn't my fault ( Read more... )
