A shoplifter stole 120ish fuck books from Waterstones. Worth nearly a grand. He said he was going to flog them, to fund a booze and drug habit.

Usually I make breakfat on Sunday and take it up to bed for porkess and myself to enjoy before a nice cuddle and lie in. Due to the recent removal of cast and pins I can't carry a laden tray so the porkess has been ever so kind. So. Yesterday after much clattering in the kitchen (just to make me feel more guilty) she arrives upstairs with the tray. Check it out.
1. Fresh orange juice - check
2. Large mug of latte (strong) - check
3. Empty plate - Check.
She'd forgotten the cheese and tomato filled hot croissants. How the hell am I supposed to lie in bed looking smug without my croissants?
Standards are slipping I tell you.

It is reasonably easy for a woman to get sexied up, lacy bra here frilly knickers there, even some cheeky stockings if the occasion is deserving. The question is though, what options does a guy have in an attempt to look sexeh for his missus?
And also, do you prefer you missus to have the bra on, or bra off? Personally i like it on, nice textures.... softness on top softness etc then the straps pulled down to the side, and the bounty 'released'.

A couple of weeks ago I planted a variety of herbs, all from seed, in a massive planter. Every day I've diligently watered and fed them and was rewarded by a flush of green as my little darlings sprouted and took their first err - steps - towards the light and leafy goodness. I was proud.
Got up this morning and went to water them to find a scene of carnage. Some avian fuckwits had taken into their heads to uproot and scatter all of my precious seedlings. They didn't eat them. They just wrenched them out of the ground and scattered their bodies into the full glare if the harsh Ozzie sun.
Fuckit. I'm buying a gun. No more Mr Nice Guy.
Cheers

A while back I posted a link about a girl suffering from cancer who'd entered a contest with Victoria's Secret to win a trip to New York.
Well guess what? Even though Casey won by more than twice the votes than her nearest rival - she didn't win. VS claim that due to vote rigging they had the winners decided by an "independent" panel of judges and the judges didn't pick Casey.
I guess that's because they didn't want a girl who's hair had all fallen out due to the chemo as the face of Body By Victoria. The new "winners" are girls who have conventionally "pretty" faces. No fucking surprises there.
But there is some good news. After a torrent of phone-calls and emails Victoria's Secret have decided to send Casey to New York after all.
But that's not the fucking point. She won, fair and square. So fuck Victoria's Secret.
The original post from my mate where he found out that Casey hadn't won is here:
jblaque.livejournal.com/730274.html
and the post where we found out that she's getting her trip after all is here:
jblaque.livejournal.com/730794.html
I know that Casey's getting her trip - it's her not being acknowledged as the winner sticks in my craw.
Cheers

How have all of your weekends been?
Thursday night began interestingly, and ended on Friday with me going back to my block from a friend's room covered in blue paint, clutching a mainly empty bottle of absinthe. The rest was a gig, a few pints of cider and black and idle chit chat. And working on grammar at 2am.
Et tu, Brute?

So next week I have to teach about the Great Fire of London.
I really want to show the class some pictures for buildings that survived the fire.
Does anyone know of any buildings?
I've tried google but what I really need are the names of some buildings that survived so I can google for them.
Thanks for your help!

I've got the big fishing tournament tonight. I'm up against professional anglers as well as anglers who are way better than I could ever hope to be. I'm one of two women who qualified for the tournament, and we're both being interviewed for the Orange County Register.
I don't care if I place in the top ten (there's 40 of us), I just would like it if I don't come dead last!

Last night I had a smallish fire in my backyard fireplace. It's a circle of stones that looks a lot like a miniature Stonehenge, situated in the middle of a brick patio. I had built a nice little fire with seasoned oak and was sitting by it when the wind blew up hard and carried a lot of smoke toward my neighbor. The wind held for a couple of hours.
He came bustling over and yelled, "You gotta do something about that smoke! It's all through my house! You gotta move that fireplace to the other side of the yard or sumpin' coz it's blowin' in my house!"
(Now if it were me, I would have simply closed the windows... but I guess that makes a bit too much sense.)
"Sorry, I can't move it. It's built into the ground."
"You want me to get the cops involved? We can do it that way if you want. I'll call the cops, I'll call the fire department, I'll call the homeowner's association, I'll call the district attorney."
"Do what you need to do, I guess," I replied. "It's legal."
So this morning two cops arrived on my doorstep. "Hi, umm, can we speak to you for a minute? We had a complaint about a fire last night..."
I explained what had happened and showed them the fireplace, and pointed to the stack of firewood I had been burning. The cop almost looked embarrassed by the time I was done. "Yeah, obviously nothing really happening here. You'd think he could have just come over and said something like hey, I got some smoke in my house last night."
I chuckled. "He's still mad at me for calling animal control on his dog after it bit my daughter."
"Oh, the Dalmatian that doesn't bite?"
We both laughed. He turned to his partner. "Come on, let's go talk to him." And they walked back out.
I haven't seen the Choad since.

"I sat next to West Ham and England player Alvin Martin at a corporate dinner. He told me that during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico he and fellow England players would smear cream cheese under their foreskins, let it ferment for a few hours up until kick-off then scoop it out and hold in the palm of their hand until they shook their opponents' hands before the match."

Is bunch the collective noun for Pakis? I would've thought something more colourful (and perhaps ethnic would be better).
So let's be blatant racists and come up with collective nouns for different people.
Since I'm a paddy, I'll start with.
A gowl of Irish.
A shower of knackers.
A cunt of fucks.
A larceny of chavs.
A nag of wives
Be creative folks.
