# Gosh, I could never be an MP
I like free speech far too much.

Morning, poppet!

# I am, I am.
Stretchy, smily tired. The office is quite warm, and it's just turning me into a cat.

How's my chap, then?

# Rounding off a fine cup of coffee.
and deciding which emails to ignore for the next few hours.

Then, it's lunch time, a little snooze in one of the conference rooms and deciding what to do for the rest of the day. Oh, and I've just bagged a gig to Barcelona in two weeks!
So, all in all, pretty good really.

Wanna come? That'd be a hoot :D

# Hahaha, a pale Jew in Spain.
They'd love it. I'd be followed by packs of F1 fans wearing ringlets and shunning bacon.

You'll get to see all the Gaudi though (again, I take it). Luckyyyyyy.

# It's a great town.
I love the huge covered food market on Las Ramblas. Awesome fish to be had there.

# I just had a really strange pain right in my chest, on the left.
*worries*



You know when you have a bit of food trapped in your oesophagus? Like that except deeeep inside the left hand side of my chest. My heartbeat's quite slow, too. Hmm.

Probably nowt. Stop overreacting, Fae.

Edit: I do like the 'eccentric' idea, though. Wouldn't be too much of a stretch to achieve that. ;-)

He calls it 'narcolepsy'. We call it 'being an alcoholic fat bloke'.

Not suggesting you are either of those things, of course. If I could get away with having a kip in a room at work (conference or otherwise) I'd jump at the chance.

Maybe not jump. Collapse.

# Well, I'm currently trying to lose some spare tire,
but the alcoholic bit is pretty much spot on.
Sadly. Ah well.

Who'd have thought a mid-life crisis would be so much fun, eh?

# We're all alcoholics more or less, though, aren't we?
I had my mid-life crisis at about 19. Which means I've only got about seven years of life left (assuming I've done it correctly).

And tires are fine. Go with them, I say. What would you rather be, fat, pissed up and happy or thin and a cunt LIKE WHAT I AM?

# I'd get into trouble immediately.
I'd say something, everyone would have a tremendous flap and I'd tell them all to fuck off and find their own opinions instead of bitching about mine.

I mean REALLY. Does nobody have anything better to do? Kids are dying in the Sudan and the Gaza strip, and we're worried about the musings of one woman? Fuck. Ing. Hell.

because we all know how a yellow and black handpuppet is almost synonymous with nig-nog and raghead.

then surely his opinion counts, rather than the opinion of hand-wringing middle-class twats whose only contact with other ethnicities involves complaining that their food isn't up to scratch. Am I right, my little kike darling, or am I right?
