I just bought a puzzle, it is hideous. It has two scrawny kittins on a table next to a milk jug, some balls of wool and some tapestries. There are other horrible tapestries on the wall behind them. One of the kittins has a squinty eye

It may not be now. But when I was working for the DSS, legend has it that a bloke came into the Blyth office and proceeded to press his crotch against the protective screen and bleed profusely all over the place as he'd just injected himself there.
Needles on the stairwell were a regular occurrence too, I'm surprised the cleaners weren't on danger money.

that's horrific. The fact that protective screens are necessary in the jobcentre is pretty bad, too...

It's their last two gigs as the singer has left but returned to honour the final bookings. Some nice acoustic rock with cello and keyboard. Surprisingly, it works really well hearing Led Zep done in this way.

Sounds like you're gonna sack it off anyway. Bear in mind the mortgage offer has a set lifespan, so check on that regarding future viewings. You might even be able to get a better deal at this stage anyway.

You seen that Harry Potter film? Well, in that, Harry (the kid) and Voldermalt (the bad guy) have wands that are brothers. It's the whole ying-yang thing really, good and evil and all that. Well, with these two chopsticks I've got, I could do one to scratch up that lovely juicy bit of groin and that bit just between the bumhole and the base of the ball sack. And I can do another one to scratch my armpits and my moobs.
You can have one, I'll have the other, just like in Harry Poter, and we could be scratchy chopstick enemys [and/or] twins.

- Smoked salmon - Blandish, it's just a bit of fish. Note, smoked salmon, not raw.
- Two prawns butterflyed.
- Two fried chicken balls (Karagi or something like that).... ok, not so good.
- Edinami Beens (a type of peas-in-the-pod)
- Teryakki Sauce.
- A smidgin of wasabi
You're right, I do eat quite exoticly, and very well, I think in part it's my "Fuck you, I'll do what I want" to the world. I don't drink, I don't _not_ drink eaither though, I just would rather get a nice bite to eat, and my tablets do enough of the relaxing effects that one would get from drinks. I did have a single mojito earlier (and oh my dayz, I found out today the place next door me does the perfect one), but I don't think I've drunk to excess this year and haven't been even mary more than a handful of times.
I've written about how I've been into food before, I'll try and dig it out.
Also, the amazing butchers near work did 4 big venison fillet steaks for £10, so I bought them up and will make them tomorow with a chocolate-port (I have from Marks'n'sparks last year) reduction, mash and something green, not sure what.
