One of the Housemates works for the NHS in the patient transport side of things. Apparently she got a phone call from some bloke who left his false leg on one of the buses.
Which led us to ponder, how do you forget that?
The standing and falling flat on your face would kind of jog your memory, wouldn’t it?
This led us to wonder if he had gone to get a new leg and like us, as kids getting new shoes, wanted to wear it home!
I must ask Mad Matt what his Dad’s preference is when he goes for a new hand.
An advert that is pissing me off…
Some twat stands in a kitchen holding a piece of equipment that apparently sums up them and their kitchen needs. According to the propaganda, from this item, a company can design the perfect kitchen for you.
An uptight looking woman holds up a nutmeg grater or something. From that they can tell she wants stainless steel throughout and a hot plate.
I think she needs a damn good fucking on the butcher’s block, but that’s just my opinion.
Right, I thought, I’ll have some of this.
I want to turn up at the sales room with our huge bag of assorted Take Away menus, 7 tea towels, 5 half used blocks of lard and say,
“Knock yourself out with that, you fucker!”
I’d be interested to see what they came up with.
Something that looks like the bastard child of Burger King and Ken’s Kebabs I should think!
For Christmas, one of the Housemates got a brilliant notebook about procrastination, so I will share some of the ‘Time Wasters’ with you lot.
Here is today’s.

--------------- Impossible
--------------- And The Sundance Kid

RIP Sister Annunciata. One of those rare, truly holy Nuns.

I am not going to attempt to get involved with this - it's much too much fun and I have a hot date with a deadline...but the limb thing really made me laugh. Fuck's sake, how do you forget THAT? And the kitchen add pissed me off too. WHat happens if you went in with a tin of cat food and packet of biscuits - the most purchased items of this domus? Pretentious crap. And what really reduced me to a state of fury was a news item on the BBC which showed the working conditions many Indian families (including young children) endure carving out granite for our lovely kitchen surfaces...The older I get, the more I want to do some serious damage to companies and greedy punters...oh bugger, I've started again...
Ooh, the dreaded deadline! How's it going? Nearly there?
Neeeeeaaaarly. Will be finished on Monday and OUP know that it will be arriving sometime next week. I'm actually not too worried as to what OUP make of it as it has to go via my co-editor first and Steve's standards are exacting. THAT worries me more than any Oxford twat...actually the ladies from OUP are LOVERLY and soooo good. I've also got a sneaky feeling that Oxford Uni Press is run by women - I've only ever met one bloke who worked for them! And he left too!
