It is frrrrreezing!
My bedrooms are in the attic. As is the bathroom.
I forgot to leave the heating on constant last night, so this morning there's only been about an hour of heat.
I have to go and get a shower but it's frrrreezing.
All the frost looks lovely on the rooftops though.

What's it like where you are?
Or who was the best Pauline Mole - Alison Steadman, Lulu or Julie Walters?

Are you typing with mittens on?
Perhaps with just your fingers sticking out of a couple of old socks. Wearing a fur coat, muffler and flat cap.

Its lovely and warm in my office now (fucking freezing at 7:00am though)

It gets really warm in here, but not if I leave the bloody heating on 'timed'.
I'm wearing some kind of skiing sweater.

You could wear a smart suit
but cut the trousers into shorts, with a turn-up and everything.
Then they can't accuse you of dressing too casually.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 8:58, Reply)

Unfortunatly
Any suit that was smart before I put it on, would not be when I did.

I often have a shirt and tie visible above the desk. Below is shorts and hiking boots.

I'm torn between Alison Steadman and Julie Walters, with Alison in the slight lead.

I just happen to have two bedrooms. At the moment I'm preferring the spare room. In fact I've stopped calling it the spare room and I've moved my toiletries and hairdryer into here.
My clothes and ornaments are still in my original room.

Who was worst might be easiest for me to answer.
Julie Walters - nowhere near as good as she thinks she is. And worked with Victoria Wood - possibly the least funny person who ever lived. The only funny thing she's ever done is marry the Great Suprendo, the most blatantly homosexual children's entertainer since John Wayne Gacy.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 1 Dec 2009, 9:41, Reply)

Of course you don't like them.
Not nearly crazy enough for your tastes.

Edit - And I think that you'll find the Victoria Wood lyrics, 'beat me on the bottom with a Women's weekly', are astoundingly funny.

it is unfortunate fact that most women comedians (comediennes if you will) just aren't funny.

You couldn't be more wrong actually.
I love to the point of obsession hundreds of things from ancient history to late 60s San Fransico poster art. The reason I rant on so much about shit stuff is that I'm so disappointed by how crap most things are compared with how brilliant they could be.

I am a permanently-disappointed optimist.

for being annoyed with 98% of stuff. I find i have to reign myself most days, particularly in here, they just couldn't cope with my destruction of everything they hold dear to their stupid fucking hearts.

He is so offensive,
he gets anything about him deleted off of youtube right away. i was having a scan the other month and turned up precisely, fuck all.

If you can get his dvd, 'Total Abuse Show' from 1988, i would highly recommend it. Be prepared to piss you pants though, the first time i saw it i very nearly choked.

Some people deserve to have torrents of hatred aimed at them, they bumble along in the public eye being a talentless piece of shit, most people accept it, but let it continue anyway. What is the point in this? Why do people gobble the cock of mediocrity so readily, don't they have any self respect or imagination? CUNTS.
