I'm sat next to somebody on the train who is completing a multiple-choice question paper on large volume, fixed depth disposal slides for post-vasectomy semen analysis.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
I just ordered the last 11 examples in stock of a certain item from a particular online vendor. Now that my order has been accepted and processed, I looked at the stock level and it shows 9 in stock! Where did they come from?
It's odd. If they really do have more I'd have bought them, had they been shown as in stock.
For a while, I thought 'basically' was going to be the new 'literally', but judging by my 10 year old, it's going to be 'seriously'.

Wow, no threads on England's World Cup performance - thanks to Suarez 2-1 England scoreline last night.
Seems World Cup Fever never really caught hold this time even before the tournament and now it looks like it won't at all :-(

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Neither. Social media in the way it's used mostly is a canker on society. It really is.
Today I felt well-enough to shave - for the first time in six days. It hurt.

Hungover.

I bought a new iron today. Bewildering choice.
In the absence of any knowledge on the subject & no "which iron?" Threads in G&D, I opted for one with loads of stickers... and a 3 year guarantee.

I'll 'like' your Facebook business promotion page, as you've requested, if you'll send me some topless selfies.
Congratulations! Was it one like this?I bought a new iron today. Bewildering choice.

Steam generators beat normal irons into shamefaced retreat.
1 hr 45 mins until the door pops and I can get out!, looking forward after 29 days to some sunshine and a nice breeze!!!!!
Nevertheless, a good choice. The default "bloke" option - if it's black and has more stickers on it, then it's the best choice. Obviously, not as good a choice as buying clothes which never need ironing, although anyone who needs to wear a more formal shirt for work knows that when Marks and Spencer* tell you that their shirts are "non-iron" or "ultimate non-iron" they are, actually, lying.
*Other lying purveyors of clothing which allegedly does not require ironing are available.

I hate ironing, which is a real shame as my wife and kids hate it more than me (bribery and tears won't work on them)... It's getting too hot for v necks and cardigans :(

Hope you're having a decent barbie and a beer... how long before you have to descend once more?
I think its their venality that really annoys me the most
Not yet, a few more days on ship, flights back to uk, then I can relax and drink :-)), should then be a month off.
Coincidentally, my youngest talked about that illness this morning, except he called it 'chicken spots'. :-)My youngest now resembles my login name
Just cracked my toe on one of the bed castors and took the top of it off. The bedroom looks like a scene from superlative French horror 'Martyrs'.
Burnt the kids pizza for the picnic... Good job I bought two! Quickly out of the freezer.....
Haaaaa
Never, ever buy Heinz Worcestershire Sauce.
It's appalling stuff, more like the radioactive orange sweet and sour sauce from a Chinese takeaway. And there's an aftertaste of garlic.
sadly I've joined the dark side and go myself a pair of Archie's from Grenson..... what have I done

On the bright side, a new series of "I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue" starts on Monday evening. Which is nice.

I heard that Gerry Conlan (Guilford 4) died...
I have his velvet underground and Nico album, (the one with the banana on it)
A neighbour in North London gave it to me many years ago (along with his copy of the soundtrack to easy rider)... He gave them to her a few years before
Gerry Conlan had good taste in music
Will Samantha make an appearance though?
Although I like just a minute, it's nerver as good as I'm sorry I haven't a clue
Apparently, there have been complaints about the overtly sexist nature of references to Samantha in the show. Really. I heard this on Radio 4, so it must be true.

Yup! Heard the same.... Save Samanthta - she's an institution!!!
Humph would be turning in his grave...!!!

That's just what you want over breakfast - a live harp duo with keyboard combination. On a more positive note, the orange juice is delicious.

Just back from our anniversary lunch at a local hostelry. We've been together for over 20 years but only married for 4.
Just received a tax refund for the princely sum of £26.
Which pleases me disproportionately - when considering the thousands I actually pay in tax.

Hah - had a bit back earlier in the year and today paid a demand for £32 for NICs. Why can't different departments of HMRC talk to each other?
At the school fete last night I won 4 prizes out of the 5 tombola tickets I drew. Anything where you have to get a ticket that ends in 0 or 5 I am unbeatable at.
I just bought some Brut aftershave.....and I like it.
It's nostalgia in a bottle

Hedgehogs have much longer legs than I had imagined.
Something I learned yesterday was that a Google image search of "Venezuelan beaver cheese" isn't the best move in an open plan office. On a more re-assuring note I think I found some this morning at the breakfast buffet.

Had accupuncture on my knee lastnight.
After 3 weeks of only shitting every 5th or 6th day, the floodgates have opened. The whole village smells of shit now.
Did it work?
All those years ago, my interest in watches began with a quartz.
Now I've found another quartz watch I'm smitten with, I may just flog everything else off.
