How are we all today? I woken up at 5am with very bad stomach pains, which wasn't much fun. I think I've slept for about 3 hours altogether, so I'm not in the best mood this morning.
Alt: However, I have had a cracking breakfast, which has brought stopped the day being a total washout. When was the last time something simple helped to cheer you up?

Sorry to hear about your stomach, it does sounds like the symptoms of bad aids I'm afraid. Sorry to be the bearer... etc.
As for the alt, breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day. The simple thing that cheers me up is taking 5 minutes to smoke a joint. This is usually enough for me to calm down and sort things out in my head. It also gets me stoned.

I'm not too bad considering some shitty Michael Caine movie from the 80s kept me from getting to bed at a decent time. It was called 'The Island' and it roped me in with some nice axe-gore action before descending into silliness.

Pete Postlethwaite and Jeremy Renner were good in it.
I finally got around to watching the Ian Dury biopic Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll with Andy Serkis the other day (we've had it on the V+ for about a year). I can highly recommend it, great central performance and there's plenty of imagination at play in how the story is structured.

But I looked in with absolute horror when the first slice, the slice with the fondont head, got cut off. I saw them slice it down and watched it fall over, while I was using my strongest mind power going "Nononono, don't you dare give that slice to someone else", you see, I couldn't say anything, because I'd look like a right fucking autistic internet fatty if I demanded the head piece, which is without a doubt the best one (every single bite has some fondunt !). You know when you give someone 'evils' willing them to do something, knowing that if it was possible for someone to read your thoughts, they would read the shouting going on in your head, and this would be the perfect time to transmit my phsycicness "Give Me The Head PIece". But then, the person who cut the slice, puts it on a plate, and eats it ! Can you believe it? The cake cutter cut off the best bit on the whole cake and served it to themselves ! Fucking prick, should have glassed the cunt with an ashtray while he's doing a piss in an allyway.

For the last, like, 5 years, I've wanted to try frying christmas pudding in butter. I saw Heston Bloomingtile do it, but the thing is, all the left overs end up going to Debs and Aunty Barbera, and even though I'm one of the "Single people who lives by themselves", I _never_ get left overs, and I'm growing very very bitter about the whole thing. Like, seriously bitter. Last year I sliced off some really crispy bits of fat on the duck, then put them behind all the bottles of pickles in the fridge, and STILL they went missing. 4 years in a row now I've been neglected. AND WHATS WORST, right, is that Aunty Sonya (Deb's mum) declaired last year that Debs was supposed to get all the spare duck because Sonya bought it.
Even though I bought and made an entire course, I was to be a second class citizan in my own mother's house.
I've given up expecting any leftovers this year, they can take the lot for all I care, don't cry for me, I'm already dead inside.
