Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[COMMANDO FORCES]

My easy going blue should not be wasted on those cretins next door!

  CF breaks out the red ink!  Well you might quake in fear, neighboureenos!  

An update on my far more important phone-library situation.  Right now, another annoying lady is shouting into her phone.  Miracle of miracles, the nice Afghani library security guard (there are four - it's that kind of library) approaches her and quietly reminds her that this is a library.  She turns towards him briefly and in a completely dismissive tone (I kid you not) says: "Sorry, be with you in a minute, I'm on the phone".  Poor bugger just stands there with his mouth hanging open while she wanders on through the stacks, still shouting.  I can still hear her in the distance.  

That poor man has had a hard time lately.  Last Thursday evening a young fellow was getting his disturbing sexual kicks by playing a grim-sounding porn movie incredibly loudly on his laptop, having sat down at long table which already housed a gaggle of schoolgirls.  The young security guard was first on the scene, and tried to get the 21st century pervert to shut it down.  "What? What's the problem  I just forgot my earphones, yeah?".   Two of his larger colleagues appeared and the techno-flasher was escorted from the premises.

I would be seriously thinking about calling the RSPCA myself as it sounds like fuckwits next door are not even fit to look after a pot plant.

I am thinking about it Peter as I forgot to mention that they have three ducks as well. I was thinking that once the fence was finished they would let the dogs out. Now that they have ducks I can't see this being possible as I think they would be torn to pieces. I know our other neighbour is thinking of calling the RSPCA so I will wait and find out if she has.
Why us, what have we done to get the Adams family moving in next door.
Come to think of it, I wonder, if you are renting are you allowed to keep a zoo?

Couldn't make all that post CF, the red just did my head in.  But I read enough to be annoyed on your behalf and understood the red.

I really need to see a doctor about my foot.

I had a dream where my glasses broke.

Our department has moved to another floor of the building and all the teams reorganised. Plenty of minor irritations (changing the default printer, not knowing the fax number, not enough coat hooks etc etc), but to listen to the constant moaning you'd think we'd been on Chairman Mao's Long fecking March!

My new (purple if you were wondering and I'm sure you weren't)Dr Martins are determined to gouge a hole into the back of my ankles - there's only one cure; THE CLEANSING FIRE!

I thought there were four slices of pizza left but there are only two, which isn't really enough for dinner, and I didn't go to the shops on the way home as I thought I had half a pizza left.

What is it with women and purple doc martins. My missus has a pair.

The pretty colour! Well that and the fact that your toes are safe when you're at a gig with clumsy men!

I bought GREMLINS for 2-99 on DVD on Friday* and watched it with Mrs and Tiny Tips.

He liked it so much that he took it away with them when they went to visit Mrs Tips' chum down in the Borders.

They watched it but it then got stuck in here DVD player (which is built in to her telly).

It won't eject but it every other control works.  So you can watch any film at her house now as long as it's GREMLINS.


Actually, the fact that it's GREMLINS that is stuck in this way is close to fucking ironic genius so maybe this should be in the LIFE IS FANTASTIC thread






* PS - it was going cheap in HMV but don't waste your money; it's a great film but a really crappy transfer (almost VHS in quality) and has no extras at all.


And why in Grud's name is it still certificate 15. The knife work is all I can think of.

I want a pair of Docs. They used to be all I would wear but at some point I switched to less painful shoes. Must get some.

They won't be purple.

Gah! I finally decided to get Spotify and it turns out I need an invitation code. Unless I want to pay for it.
