The First Kiss

November 10th, 2008 by Dave

The first kiss is quite important, we all know this.  It can determine if the chemistry is right, it can determine an element of compatibility of the physical kind.
If you are a hopeless romantic, you will want that first kiss to be memorable, and preferably perfect.  It may or may not involve fireworks (literal or [...]

Take my eyes…please!

November 1st, 2008 by Dave

In honour of yesterday being Halloween, I thought I would recount for you a tale of abject terror, horrifying intrigue and no small amount of toilet activity.   I would like to say that there were no animals harmed during the events of this fateful night, but quite frankly…anything is possible.
It was a entertaining night at [...]

More finance shenanigans

October 22nd, 2008 by Dave

So…after a few days of excruciating pain and finally moving the pain to an amber alert I am able to type a little.  Fortunately, for a man bereft of interesting things to blog about, there was an interesting diversion today where I work.
A well dressed businessman, complete with briefcase tried to gain access to the [...]

Close encounters..

October 9th, 2008 by Dave

.. of the stalker kind.
It is interesting to me what makes people tick.  It is also interesting to me what goes through peoples minds sometimes.
Let me explain…and whilst I do I am aware that some of you reading this might consider this a good thing and others will think of me as an arsehole….you are [...]

Gopping ‘Orrible

September 25th, 2008 by Dave

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 [...]

Bad advertising

September 16th, 2008 by Dave

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 [...]

What have you done for me lately?

September 11th, 2008 by Dave

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 [...]

Definitely NOT Monty Python

September 10th, 2008 by Dave

So I went to watch the Flying Circus last night..more specifically “The Great Flying Circus of North Korea” and I have to say…..they were superb.
It is one of those shows that you might not think about checking out, but it is amazing to watch what people at the peak of their talents can do.
It had [...]

Ch ch ch ch changes….

September 8th, 2008 by Dave

So, I sit here - 3 days into the whole not smoking thing, a week into the exercise thing and the same into the diet thing.
Jesus wept.  Pretty tough if I am honest.  I don’t know if I built up some immunity to Zyban from when I took it years ago, or if I was [...]

Where my addiction began….

September 3rd, 2008 by Dave

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 [...]

SP comedy gold..

August 23rd, 2008 by Dave

So, whilst SPs decline from the dizzy heights of casanovadom continues at a rapid rate of knots….he does still have his moments.
This report was submitted to LW headquarters by our roving field reporter GF.
The location:  Daves living room (AKA the Anglo Irish)
Those present:  SP, GF and a random American Marine
Details are sketchy as to how [...]

Behind the scenes

August 16th, 2008 by Dave

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 [...]

Gout burger?

August 13th, 2008 by Dave

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 [...]

Tales of the unexpected…..muahahahah

August 12th, 2008 by Dave

Ok, I will admit that I got the idea for this post from another blog….I don’t remember the blog, just that they did a post about ouija boards when they were a kid.
This reminded me about the time at school when our R.E. Teacher (Religious Eductation) decided to cave to the constant questioning from us [...]

Dog or Hydrant? (feat. SP fails again)

August 11th, 2008 by Dave

I don’t remember where I heard that phrase, but it is true don’t you think….sometimes you are the dog, other times you are the hydrant.
I was making myself the hydrant until recently and that has all changed now - So all of the passworded posts have gone and I am on the hunt for material….which [...]

Stupid things people say

July 18th, 2008 by Dave

Once 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 [...]

Alternative olympics?

July 16th, 2008 by Dave

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 [...]

Get rich quick…

July 14th, 2008 by Dave

So, over the years I have thought of many ways I can turn my hobbies into money..which invariably means looking for ideas that noone else has thought of on the web…what with me being the consumate geek and all.
I tried LAN parties and it ended up costing me money, I tried to get an “Adult” [...]

Claim to fame?

July 9th, 2008 by Dave

Now I know that technically a claim to fame is only really valid if you have done something yourself, but I couldn’t think of another way to start this.
I suppose I do have 2 claims to fame in the truest sense of the term.  When my first long term partner and I got married, the [...]

Happy 4th of July to all of our friends across the pond.  Happy 4th of July to all of our friends across the pond who now live across the pond…with us..umm.
To the non-American amongst you, Happy Friday.
Every time this date comes around and the good wishes start flying, I honestly keep getting the Independence Day [...]
