Has anybody else encountered this loon? He is a government adviser, leads scientific research into treating mental health and is the secret subject of numerous Hollywood films, top 40 hits and television programmes. In addition to this, he has developed the K-B Jump Start, a method for resuscitating the dead (but only within 26 minutes of death).
As a loyal and devout B3tan, with an unwavering commitment to fairness, good taste and the pursuit of knowledge, it is incumbent upon me to share the teachings of this great sage with you.
May you find his website as illumitaing and compelling as I have.

Woo! Day off!
Colleagues are taking the flak today as I did overnight cover last night (which in practice meant a child who'd swallowed a Lego brick being brought into the emergency GP practice and bounced to A&E with the comment from me (sotto voce) "do you see an X-ray machine anywhere here?" and, more seriously, an old lady whose son rang to say that she'd finally slipped away and would I come over and certify her).
I'm thus sitting in the living room watching TV, playing with the dog having taken The Child to school. Wife is at work.
Entertain me b3ta, please!

I got a call the other day from a friend of mine who lives down in London. To cut a long story short, a few months ago he was briefly dating a young lady but decided that she was too much and called things off. So far, so good. However, the other day he got a phone call off her explaining that she's 3 months pregnant and that he's the father. Pausing for a moment to gather his thoughts, he riposted with some very good reasons why he couldn't be father of said sprog, namely:
1. She's 3 months pregnant, he hasn't seen her for 5 months.
2. They never danced the sweaty love jig.
Unperturbed she ignored him, is insistent he's the father, has been calling him and texting him, has now got her father involved (in a mildly threatening 'you knocked my daughter up' manner) and is now insisting that he take a DNA test to 'prove' to him that the baby is his. He's had 15 calls today so far apparently.
Being a rather laid back chap, he's wondering which tropical paradise he should high-tail it to until the crazed would be matriarch calms down, any suggestions?

and being a Scot, am horrified by the cost of everything wedding related. So, being a cheapskate, decided to bid for a dress on ebay. I bid 2 days ago, and immediately regretted it - not sure why, but went off the dress or something. Well, I just got an alert that someone has outbid me by a pound. yay!
I can now revert to my plan of fashioning a costume out of bin bags and duct tape.
Anyone got any wedding advice? (other than 'don't do it!' I've already popped out a sprog for mrvitc, so am not letting him get away any time soon)

No idea what would have inspired it, but this morning I woke with the following running through my head:
God must hate the gender of man
What else could explain Twitter?
Not that this is all he has done-
he also makes women witter.
I woke up most puzzled by this.
For the record, I know little to nothing of Twitter and have studiously avoided it, and have no idea where I would have encountered the word "witter" other than in here.

Right, y'know in that there space? Since it's so fricking cold and there's no air, if an astronaut died like they do in filums where he floats away from the space station for whatever reason, does that mean they're still up there somewhere, floating away without decaying, amongst all the dead satellites, etc, ready to scare the bejesus out of whoever runs into them next?

Cheers everyone fir those messages and kind text/Gaz bits'n'bobs
Turns out I have two types of gut aids, at the moment which is quite "=/", but I'm much better than I was a few days ago, and hopefully I can start having a bite to eat later. I've had so many holes punctured in me that aside the bruises, they don't bother me that much anymore (still ain't looking at them stick things under my skin though).
I got a free upgrade to the private ward where I have my own amazing telly (but the signal broke earlier... Best fix that before hollyoaks), and an amazing view of hampstead Heath, plus the bed has buttons that let me move it up and down, that's hours of boredom starved off right there.
Anyway, how's things going with you?

Driving to work yesterday morning There's a stretch with two lanes where right at the very end there's some shops. There's usually cars parked outside the shops so traffic can only use the right-hand lane at that point - as a result a lot of drivers use that lane the whole way down. That's fine, I have no problem with people who have a morbid fear of merging or can't hack it first thing in the morning or even are just doing it because everyone else is. No, It's the cunt deliberately driving down the middle so that no-one could get past on the left. What a fucking petty, spiteful thing to do. Just because he didn't want to use that lane, nobody else could either. Makes me bloody livid.
What cuntish behaviour, driving or otherwise, has made you seethe lately?

I was having a really shitty day today......really shitty. Crying jags, mood swings etc, so went to the pub this afternoon. Met a guy that ran a local fishing boat (as in 100 people per boat, $150 per trip for a six hour fishing trip on saltwater). Nice guy, we gossiped about how I'd only fished freshwater (I think you call it course back home or something?).
He gave me a free pass to get on one of the boats as he found out I'd never fished in salt before (i.e. the ocean ((fucking having to translate))).
