This week's "Idea that I really really want that'll never happen" is that I want to learn how to play the violin

Woah, back up there...
You can get handjobs on the NHS now?
Also, the violin is quite hard. Can I suggest you try an easier instrument?

I suggest the recorder
or the triangle.

I think so, it's all very clinical, they probably wear cloves, but I don't mind that. I presume they're very efficient, which works for me too, it makes no difference to me if it lasts 25 seconds or 5 minutes, and they can always move onto the next person
afterwards. I think I prefer it clinical, in their mind it being no different to checking a prostate or checking someone's blood pressure. I won't even feel bad about not buying them chocolates or flowers.

I suspect the entire jobby might be prostate fired

Can't you just get hookers on the NHS
or have I imagined that? Or are they called "sexual surrogates" or something more official sounding?

I want to learn to play the guitar
I have three of them sitting in my lounge and a willing teacher so really it's quite viable. But I think I'd have to cut my nails.

I realised that my hand is far too spazzy to make the requisit claw shapes to make notes come out

Just learn D, A and E
and you can play any song* U2 ever wrote.

Or just open tune it, and you don't really need chord shapes

*insofar as any U2 thing can be called a song.

No, I'm not.
I am a stratospherically lazy guitarist though.

Do you ever wish you were
Or are you more of a "Clarkson man"?

Hamster hammond is my favourrite, he's so funny with his big eyes and brain damage

Clarkson is basically the world's greatest troll
however, I have no desire to be like any of them.

I like May.
His toy stories series was excellent, especially the Spitfire one.

Did you see man lab
when they sent the ashes of a budgie and cat up to the edge of sapce for a "sapce buriel" it was brilliant, and how I would like to be disposed of

I think Monty's budget will only extend to dumping you off Westminster bridge.

I actually expected him to pop up with some sort of body disposal plan

I find just having a decent guitar in my living room
but not bothering to know how to play it acheives the main effect, which is to make women think you are artistic and deep and therefore encourage them to remove their clothes with you, but without all the bother of actually having to learn how to play.

Have none of them asked you to serenade them?

The drugs have usually kicked in before then.

I suspect these women had already made their decision.
The guitar just helped them justify it as the right one.
I've been playing nearly all my life and it has contributed little to my success with women.

you need more incapacitating drugs, then.

Tried that, but they've usually buggered off by the time I come round again.

You get these hard bits of skin at the end of your fingers, rock hard and rough. Learning to play the guitar, in that respect, is a group desision.
