The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
So I have said before that I watch a considerable number of TV Shows at the moment. One of my current faves has to be Bones. I like it as it is easy to watch, quite interesting and the dynamic between the characters is incredibly good and more often than not, very funny.
I watched the [...]
Now, I am not about to jump on the Obama got elected bandwagon…not least of all as I am English, not American.
That said…. WTF! is this all about? Woof Journalism*
British Broadcasting Corporation, for shame. I get that American politics has an important impact on the world, I get that…honestly I do. I get that this [...]
Anyone who has been reading this blog for a while will have noticed that I occasionally struggle for inspiration (fine..more than occasionally). Fair enough I suppose, it happens to the best bloggers, so it is bound to happen to someone as low down the blogging chain as me…
Inspiration is a funny thing though, sometimes you [...]
Now I know that the current financial crisis is causing problems in the industry. I know that banks and their employees are in a semi-permanent alternating state of catatonia and panic. I didn’t, however, realise that it had gotten so bad where I am working. I went to the smoking area today and there is [...]
Tags: random, Work…so said Roy Castle of Record Breakers fame. Personally, I don’t think I am going to be setting any world records anytime soon…although I have set a few personal bests for beer consumption.
Who in the blue hell comes up with these bizarre records though. I mean there is a recent record of putting the most [...]
Now there is a word you don’t hear very often anymore….unless you are talking to my Mum, who has tried (rather unsuccessfully) to keep it alive within the English language.
Gopping…used to describe something rather unpleasant…somebody could be gopping, something could taste gopping - It is a word for many occasions….none of them good.
When I was [...]
In the last couple of weeks or so, a few people have taken to drinking on a school night. This is all well and good and always seems like a good idea at the time. However, I personally spent the whole of a Wednesday trying to focus, not fall asleep and not throw up..thanks to [...]
Tags: germany, random…wrong apparently. Well, at least that’s how it feels over here in Germany sometimes. I must admit, I have generally been lucky with my customer service experiences since I got out here, but I have noticed a trend more recently.
JD told me of two experiences last night. The first was asking for cheese instead of [...]
I was watching Ricky Gervais Live the other night and he talked about an advert. This particular advert sees a taxi cab pull up and ask if a girl needs a cab. Then a disembodied voice comes on and says “If you want to know the price of an illegal taxi ride…..just ask a rape [...]
Tags: random, wtfThere was a male stripper in a go-go bar. Or at least that’s how the song went….
I have only the vaguest notion as to why this song popped into my head yesterday, we were talking about people being able to recreate songs etc. Marc used to be able to play the intro for Fly Away [...]
So..being British is not always everything it is cracked up to be. Let’s face it, as a nation we have single handedly ruined the Burberry company product line by creating Chavs, were pretty successful at taking over the world, foisted our language everywhere….and didn’t complain overly when it was butchered by other nations ;-) We [...]
Tags: random, wtfI know most of you will have heard of the ponderings or musings as they are sometimes called like, “How does the man who drives the snowplough get to work in the morning?” or “If cats always land on their feet, and toast always lands butter side down…what would happen if you tied buttered toast [...]
Tags: randomSo my exercise bike turned up last night…in a million pieces (it seemed). My initial urge was procrastination, so it is a testament to my own desire for getting fit that I managed to persuade myself a little later to actually build it.
The irony is that by the time I had finished making the feckin [...]
I was talking today to a guy at work and we were discussing the finer virtues of my Starbucks Venti Cappuccino with 2 extra espresso shots. He said I should have asked for a Venti espresso and gone for it, which triggered a TV-Show style flashback to when I was working in Cardiff.
I believe I [...]
I am sure that this has been done to death a million times, but our team meeting was a rather relaxed affair the other day, and as my team spend all day answering the phone to irate users, the subject span round to when people call that you can’t understand.
Now for clarity, where I work [...]
Eddie Izzard is one of my favourite comedians and I was trying to think of a way to shoehorn in one of his best routines, so I thought it through and this routine makes you think of what else is going on that you don’t see in a movie…well, it makes me think anyway.
Some [...]
Tags: random, wtfA short while ago, I visited Zurich, and was very surprised to realise that (at the time of writing) the smoking ban hasn’t been adopted. Not only that, they positively embrace it.
See, smokers aren’t 2nd class citizens after all, just ask the people at Zurich Airport.
It’s quite rare that we are welcome anywhere really, [...]
On my most recent “White Van Man Excursion” I was a little early again for my train, but was hungry and thirsty and decided to stop at the Eurotunnel terminal for a bite to eat. Whilst outside sucking down a “Fatal Friend” I noticed this sign.
Now, ok, it is easy to laugh at a foreign [...]
Tags: faux pas, random, wtfOnce again, another passworded post. I feel like Bruce Willis’s character in friends, now I have opened up…I can’t bloody well stop. Ah well, at least making them passworded allows me to retain a small amount of dignity
Over the years, we all hear things that are beyond belief stupid. They [...]
Sorry about the last post being password protected anyone who might be reading this. I needed to get some shit down and it’s particularly private. I hope you understand. Anyway, onto the random babblings…
When I am tired, I am known to ramble. People seem to find this quite amusing, although they could just be [...]
