Right, I'll tell you an anecdote! In 1975 I was catching the London train from Crewe station. It was very crowded, I found myself in a last-minute rush for the one remaining seat with a tall, good-looking man with collar-length hair, it was the seventies - buckaroo! When I sat down on the chair, I looked up and realised it was none other than Peter Purves! It was at the height of his Blue Peter fame! He said "You jammy bastard!" and quick as a flash, I replied, "Don't be blue, Peter!" Needless to say, I had the last laugh, now fuck off!

SureWhen I was seven, I mistakenly locked myself in the bathroom for hours, leading to a family-wide search. The incident taught me the importance of staying calm in unexpected situations and became a humorous family memory.

Last night, I accidentally locked myself out of thefamily-wide solo trip to Japan. I attempted to order a kitten stuck in a tree, but I found myself stranded on London’s iconic Big Ben in the mid-19th Century, leading to the groundbreaking discovery of electrical charges in the atmosphere.
It is said that a grieving widow named Meng Jiangnu’s tears brought down Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria who tried to bake a cake with salt instead of sugar and said, ‘A beer for me, and one for the road!’ The unexpected punchline had the whole room chuckling and his determination and selflessness inspired millions and left a lasting legacy of empathy and care across species.

Speaking of inpenetrable Japanese storytelling I finally finished that Space Battleship Yamato film on the youtubes last night.Very dense storytelling, if I wasn't familiar with the old cartoon I'd have been lost.
Crap film though it did make me slightly emotional at the end, loads of pew-pew-pew space battles if you like that sort of thing.
1 bag of popcorn, 1 bag of shite.

No the snappiest intro to a Future Sound Of London track I've heard, if I'm honest.(

Yes, I'm very popular at dinner parties where I'm often asked to recount the time I did a spunk and poo came out of my helmit(, Wed 16 Apr 2025, 22:47, archived)
Woman came in to a pharmacy I was working in and said she'd ordered some anti-malaria tablets.Some of them are prescription-only, and some of them are over-the-counter. So to narrow down where to start, I asked her 'was that to buy?" and she said 'no, Kenya". Oh how we both laughed after I explained the misunderstanding.
