There is an advert that is played ad nauseum at the moment. It’s for one of those ‘Ambulance Chaser Direct’ companies. You know the type, ‘Been a complete wanker and hurt yourself? Phone us and we will get you compensation you don’t deserve’.. This particular ad shows some bloke falling off a ladder. In a voice over he claims he was fitting an alarm system and was given the wrong type of ladder. You What?!! How can there be a WRONG type of ladder, you prick? According to the dictionary a ladder is, “An often portable structure consisting of two long sides crossed by parallel rungs, used to climb up and down”…. So how is there a fucking wrong ladder??!! Was this tosser using a structure made of knotted, ruined hosiery?
While on the subject of ad’s, why do they need to be at least 50% louder than the programme you are watching? So that everyone ends up shouting, ‘Quick, Quick, Where’s the fucking remote?’
There are some ad’s I’m really loving at the moment all because of the music they have with them.
If you get the chance I recommend having a listen to Miriam Makeba and a tune called “Mbube”. As soon as you hear it you will know what song ‘grew’ out of this.
The other one I’m loving is, “When Night Hears My Song” by Bedouin Soundclash. They are both on itunes and well worth the 79p/99c.
I have had a few days away in Wiltshire (Cracking!) When I arrived home the house looked lovely! All clean and empty.
At this point I have to pick up on something Schnee said previously about hand towels.
OK.. How do they end up grubby and stained? If you have washed your hands properly where does all the nasty shit come from?
How about this for a concept Housemates? USE FUCKING SOAP! I know it may sound controversial but Hey, let’s give it a go!.
Crisp-e is cooking tonight and it smells lush! This also means that almost every pot, pan and utensil is used. Bizarrely, he is listening to ‘Duelling Banjo’s’ while whipping up a pepper and cream sauce.
Normal? For this house, I’m afraid to say, it barely warrants a raised eyebrow.
On a happy note, my beloved Tottenham Hotspur won tonight!

Ack, hate those continual financial ads, Kev was convinced that those plus the bloody annoying frog were the only ads we had, but it was because we only watched the smaller cable channels. They do tend to be quite toe-curling though, all pretending that everything is all perfectly normal and terribly middle-class.
How could I guess that Crisp-e would be cooking something with pepper in?
You should see some of his monster chillis from this years crop! He only talks in terms of Scoville's now!
I will make sure that he dries some of the 'bad boys' for Kev.
Nice one :))
While I've been sitting here pretending to read while the TV is on, consumer watchdog Chris Olsen of 'Olsen on your side' who has CLEARLY been reading your blog, has just done a segment on what ladders are acceptable and which ones are complete rubbish !

Sleepy - they are making me stop taking the Zoplicone!!!!!!! How can they do this????? Obviously, I must move to Britain with a secret stash. Or better yet, you could go to your doctor and get some and feed it to me nightly.
I resent having my addiction taken from me.
this has absolutely nothing to do with your blog post, i just needed you to know.
and finally, as I am moving oct. 1 - schnee et famille is coming to help but i need another strong pair of arms. i've seen a picture of you - you look strong, come on, fly out and help. i'll buy beer. or iron brew or or crisps, whatever it takes.
- Karen
Karen.. have they replaced the Zopiclone with anything? It's probably because it is linked with gastrointestinal problems and new evidence that it's addictive.
If they have got you on new ones check out the contraindications, might explain your 'Delhi Belly'.
Schnee and Lozzer helped me move and they are dead good at it! Just keep Schnee in wine and Loz in smokes and they'll carry anything!
Must admit to being slightly concerned that Schnee is flashing around pictures of my arms!
Is there a market for 'arm porn' in Canada? Always looking to make a few quid!
Irn Bru and crisps are really tempting though....Mmmmmm...*Wanders off into lastminute.com*
Hmmm...methinks Karen is referring to the pic of you and moi on my blog back a-whiles, where we was in reality too drunk to be standing...and yet, miraculously we were.
Double hmmmm....mealsothinks you need to beware that Karen, she only has a one-bedroomed flat so clearly she has dishonourable intentions towards you. She'll be after linking (strong) arms with you and parading you down Commercial Drive.
Either that or she craves a Cashew mom figure with benefits. And I have to say, whilst I haven't ever been privvy to some of your benefits, you are a good cook.
You might as well give in and come over though, the L-Word is about to either start a new series or re-run on Showcase. :)
A new series of the L-Word is extremely tempting! But it would mean me missing the new Sopranos series here. The Dilemma!
Dishonourable Intentions? Cracking! but if Commercial Drive is anything like Commercial Road, I'm not going. As for benefits? That's for me to know and someone with a One bedroomed apartment to find out! ;)
I'm pretty au fait with the Cashew situation and a whizz (as it were) with Benzodiazepines!
