I'm sorry everybody...
I'm back now...had t' durh some graft 't m' job.

Did I miss anything?

Ah - I see not.

Still not properly back on topic yet
I like the handbag though - goes nicely with my miniskirt and fishnets.

Ah well, I'll go home now and hope that these eclectic paradigms refrain from prevaricating my jejunum.

(I also know some examples of bad parenting you know...)

On the topic of presents...
My friend when we were kids went around boasting that her parents had her the best birthday present ever and it was huge and was in a large box and she was going to love it....

She unwrapped a fibre optic christmas tree. Her birthday is in December. Her response, even at such a young age was "oh..." that tree became a standing joke every time it was brought out for years and years afterwards hehe

Would this be an attempt to get back on the farting subject? :D

Captain Haddock has been
"separating the wee from the chav" - or have I misheard?

Which is a shame as I was hoping to make the bestest board with my short one.

If I don't, my parents will beat me with onions until I cry. Which won't be very long admittedly.

I still get teary
When I remember the Christmas I woke early to unwrap my huge pressie and discover a second-hand Raleigh Chopper. It was rusty and had a partially flat tyre. And the back wheel hade been swapped with another bike (that wasn't a Chopper). I realise now that my parents were poor and couldn't afford a new bike. But still...

My first stereo was a second-hand car stereo that my dad screwed under a shelf and rigged up with a home-made transformer to the mains. The cassettes got so hot that some of them partially melted.

This year I got my first new bike (a Trek road bike). I'm 35.

My keyboard is moist with tears.

I'm just finishing chapter 12 in Jordan's autobiography
I've got to the point where she does Gareth Gates. apparently she likens it to the sexual equivalent of a Paul Hardcastle track.

Cant wait to read what she made of Peter Andrés cock.

I have just made
an elaborate paper fort. My Dad showed me the basics, but this is a true monster and able to be defended by staples from the army of paperclips attacking it.

I love office work.

Birthday surprise
My friend was looking forward to his 8th birthday. His parents built him up for about 2 weeks about "the best present you've ever seen". When the day came he was almost beside himself with excitement.
His mum and dad had built a tunnel with sheets, and they told him to walk through the tunnel and this amazing present would be at the end!
So he walked through, shaking with excitement, and at the end there was... nothing.
And his mum and dad pointed at him and laughed, while he lay on the floor and cried.

By Tuesday everyone is posting boring crap on subject... We skip through it all to find the stuff that Frankspencer has posted, ditto for Rachelswipe. The rest is pure chaff.

A bit of off-piste is what's really required to keep the board alive, I've been laughing like a drain this afternoon (and smelling like one into the bargain).

Dictionary corner
I once worked with a particularly thick girl from one of Birmingham's less salubrious estates who, when talking about GCSE's (which I doubt she could spell), said to me, "English? Oh yeah, I do did that at school", I then called her a dizzy bitch (we had a solid professional working relationship), to which she replied, "I ent no bizzy ditch".

I blame her parents too.

Intellectual reading
I read Paul Merson's autobiography Hero & Villain a few years ago. The most startling revelation? He took drugs? He had a gambling addiction? No, he admitted he didn't read broadsheets as, "They contained too many big words".

There's no need for a dictionary when reading that tome though he did introduce me to this, "The place was rubbish as it had no Russ Abbott (atmosphere)".

I blame his parents.

Now thats a cornucopia of barely literate ramblings spliced with lewd exploits and rhinoplasty which would have even the sturdiest of readers reaching for the valium.

A Thesaurus
is a tremendously difficult to eat dinosaur. Whenever you try it spits out synonyms. Synonyms are poisonous to the Thesaurus's natural predators (principally librarians, but authors are also keen hunters of the beast).

However once devoured the Thesaurus is a great aid to bookish types.

Hope that helps.

I read a book called "Roget's Thesaurus"
I thought I knew all the dinosaurs, but I'd never heard of a Thesaurus.
I still dont know what one is, but I am ambivolent about its juxtaposition in this literary work.

Or something.
