Braille Face

Save the cheerleader - save the world!

Never mind the world, what about my poor nervous disposition???? Heroes just gets better and better!

And I wish someone would come and save my skin! I've had the same 9 spots squatting on my face for the last month...! It's outrageous, when I wished I looked younger, I didn't mean that I wanted acne! I'm trying to stop myself google-ing this, in case I end up convincing myself I've got some rare tropical disease!

Can't believe got to wait another week for the next episode of H!

Nodding dogs

For some reason, I used to be filled with feelings of irritation and loathing for those horrid nodding dogs which some people used to put on the parcel shelves of their cars.... I always wanted to rip their heads off (the dogs not the owners, although they probably deserved it for having them on display in the first place), or stamp on them, or set fire to them.... but I always refrained! Anger management is always such a good thing, don't you think??

When I got on the train on the way home tonight, I realised that I was going to have to stand up for most of the journey. Having settled myself into an uncomfortable position, allowing me to read whilst holding on for dear life, so I didn't fall flat on my butt and make a complete spectacle of myself, I noticed the commuter sitting down next to me was moving his head from side to side, then in a figure of 8 etc... "poor him, strained neck, aww" thought I! This was soon replaced by "wtf?" when this neck movement had been going on for about 10 minutes... by the time it got to 25 minutes, I wanted to rip the Fekker's head off, or wrestle him out of his seat [after all, if he's not going to use his head rest, he may as well not even be on the seat and how dare he distract me from my book]!

But again I refrained, although I did have to try and manoeuvre myself so I was facing the other way, before I was seduced to the dark side!

I think I may still have anger issues!

Reggie v New Dyson

Introduced the new Dyson to Reggie today, to see if he was going to take on this one... he opened one eye, then shut it again!

Can't be arsed, springs to mind!

My new Dyson

Thought I'd come and write my blog as I can no longer bear to watch how badly we're doing in the rugby - bleedin' Danny Grewcock is a liability!!! You just know he's going to get us penalised, or get a yellow card, or sin-binned! Only saving grace is that Steve "I hate Poms" Walsh isn't the referee!

Anyway, rant over, went to North Weald market early this morning - it was REALLY busy there this time. Bought a new Dyson (how exciting is my life, eh?), after spending forever deciding if I wanted the blue, purple or green one, much to the puzzlement of my new mate, Cody the Dyson Dealer - "they're all the same, what does it matter about the colour?" "it's a GIRL thing!"

Cody insisted he could not sell it to me without giving me a 10 minute lesson on how to use it... I had to concentrate really hard on not rolling my eyes when he told me this, to the point where I think I may have looked like I was on a "weekend pass"!

But blimey, I didn't realise that Dysons are the hoover version of a transformer-robot-in-diguise! I won't bore you with details, but if you ever want a dyson, go and see Cody and be amazed!

Crying girl

Crying girl was on the train again today.... but not only was she crying, she was also shouting down the phone in a really loud voice.

Being a nosy cow, I was VERY frustrated as the argument was not in English, and I didn't have my intergalactic translator with me, so I couldn't work out what it was all about! AND she started shouting so loudly at one point, that she made me jump, I missed my shot on the mini-golf, and didn't beat my highest score!

Some people are WAY TOO inconsiderate!

Heroes

OH this is getting soooooo good! I LOVE IT!

p.s. some girl was bawling on the train today (wasn't me!).... what is going on????

Canada Water

I went to Canada Water shopping centre today with a colleague, and this really weird thing happened! We'd just walked out of the centre, when all of a sudden we heard this INCREDIBLY loud blubbing noise. At first we couldn't see where this was coming from, but then we realised it was coming from a puffer-hood-rat perched on a nearby bench. The blubbing just got LOUDER AND LOUDER, and then the hoodrat got up and started walking behind us!

We agonised (for about 5 seconds) over whether we should check this poor critter was ok, but then the hoodrat changed course and started following other people!

I'm still wondering how anyone can cry that loudly in public...

Pet personalities

Reggie has turned into a right Little Mr Independent, which is a complete opposite to "Princess" Lola!!!

Today, I let them both out so I could change their bedding. Lola acted all precious and scared, and ran right under the computer, while Reggie proceeded to try and 'hump' my big toe!!! Ok I was wearing green socks at the time, so he might have mistaken my toe for Lola, but surely he saw the rest of me attached to it??? Didn't bat an eyelid!

When he realised that my toe wasn't having any of it, he did a re-think, and decided if it wasn't Lola, then it must be food, so he started to try and chew my sock! Little bugger!

Anyway, bored of my toe, he then tried to engage Lola in a game of "IT" - but thats way beneath her! So he contented himself with trying to squeeze behind the door.... it was way too narrow for him, so he tipped himself on his side, and wriggled down there on two legs!

Then as if he hadn't had enough adventure for one day, he tried fronting up to the Dyson... which was on at the time!!!

He is one brave tortoise... or very stupid one!

Commuting (again)

FINALLY started to read Self-Made Man on my train journey.

Despite enjoying reading this, I had to stop today, because:
a) sitting directly opposite me = irritating stinky man playing games on his mobile phone with sound ON
b) irritating builder man sitting next to me = "personal" stereo means KEEP IT TO YOUR BLEEDING SELF WHY DONT YOU?
c) irritating business woman sitting diagonally to me = bashing the keyboard on her laptop as though she was trying to throw the javelin on a nintendo!!!!

Why don't we hear more instances of TRAIN RAGE?

p.s. Had 3 gay-singing comments at work today!

You decide...

... is this a compliment or insult?

My colleagues have told me that I sing "gay", and I can even make the Question of Sport theme sound camp!!!!

I consulted the delightful Lady Wayne, as gayness is his specialised subject. We didn't reach a satisfactory conclusion, and I didn't really fancy posting a video of me singing on YouTube with the slogan "does this sound gay?"

Therefore, despite our workloads, we decided to settle for an American Style-y sing-off to 'the Final Countdown', to see which of us sounded more "gay"!

I won - the first competition I ever remember winning, and alas it wasn't the proud moment I thought it would be!

Anyway, I'm left confused as to whether singing "gay" is a good thing, Wayne obviously thinks it is, but, as per usual, he's in the minority group!

Ooops... I did it again..

I've only gone and bleedin' got addicted to ANOTHER sci-fi series!

My world has been "oh so lonely" since my beloved Buffy and Angel departed our screens, the void briefly filled by Firefly, before its premature ending!

And HURRAH, now I've found Heroes.... obviously I'd tell you more about it, but there's no time as I've got to go and find out what my new friends have been up to in their latest bid to save the world!


p.s I'm writing really big to hide the fact I've neglected my blogging duties recently!!!

Formal apology....

Formal apology for anyone who was offended by Wayne's wanking or ball waxing comments from yesterdays postings - I don't know what got in to him.... he's usually such a dignified lady.

However, for those of you who may have been interested, the waxing must have gone well, because he was not visibly itching today. So thankfully we can all sleep easy tonight!
