A Lesson In Holiness

He Who Brings The Coffee has a new pair of jeans. They’re this sort: 
   You know, the ones with the holes in them. May I remind you of the fact that I haven’t got an ounce of discernment in me when it comes to differentiating between something that’s the height of fashion and something that [...]

Is This What It’s Like For Normal People?

This morning, I woke up at 7am.
I did not oversleep, and the alarm did not fail to go off, nor did it scare me by playing an unexpectedly loud tune.
I showered and dressed. The cat did not trip me up, attack me or do anything vaguely entertaining.
I had breakfast. My porridge did not explode, and [...]

The Housemate suggested:  A great topic would be how wonderfully you and TH are getting along. And how you never want her to leave… and how you have Kat back because TH brought another cat into the house and now Kat hates her. A lot.
So, TH has now been residing in Casa de Hails for about a month [...]

The Incredible Surviving Door

Long-time readers will recall that I had to get a replacement back door for Rio the Clio back in May, following an unfortunate incident with Mrs. C’s gatepost. Well, incredibly, I almost wrecked the same door last night. I am thankful for the fact that this time, I am able to use the word ‘almost’. [...]

Where Do You Blog?

Over at Is It Just Me? we’re being asked to reveal our surroundings to the blogging world. Where do you blog?

I blog in the kitchen. What about you? I don’t usually take part in these meme things, but this one’s quite interesting - there’s something weirdly intriguing about seeing where someone’s sitting as they’re writing the material [...]

British Telecon

There’s some sort of scam going on out there in the telesales world. This may not be the most blinding revelation that anyone has ever experienced, but allow me to express my disgust (and extreme bewilderment).
Now, as someone who answers the phone all day, every day, I’ve obviously heard every sales tactic in the book. You’ve [...]

The Usual Suspect

“Goshdarnit! Something has gone wrong with our servers. It’s probably Matt’s fault. We’ve just been notified of the problem. Hopefully this should be fixed ASAP, so kindly reload in a minute and things should be back to normal.“
Tried to get on to my blog just now and was greeted by this message. It made me [...]

Ally suggested: Tell us what you think about 80s music, footwear, different brands of orange juice, karaoke and the colourful clog things people are wearing these days!
Eighties Music: Here’s how I put it the other week when I was having this conversation with Dad. “It’s not like I don’t want to like the Eighties. I [...]

Don’t Panic

I’m sitting here in what I think I may be entitled to describe as a significant amount of pain, having had my nose pierced yesterday. I thought it would help the rock chick image I’ve been leaning towards, and have wanted it done for ages, so Nikki said that would be her birthday present to me. Off we [...]

Rodents!

There are a lot of mice around at the moment. They seem to be mostly gathering in my place of work, McLovely’s workshop, and various houses belonging to my friends (fortunately my house is safe from this invasion, thanks to Kat the Cat. However, she brings plenty of problems of her own. I’ll tell you [...]
