    Your autobiography title

    Mine might be:

    To be fair...

    As I say it a lot.

    "Did he never learn?"

    As I often find myself thinking "Don't you know by now?".

    In my case of never even having caused a ripple, I think that 'Who?' would be most apposite.

    As an aside, I think that the comedian known as Vic Reeves (real name James Moir) had the bestest-ever title for his autobiography:

    ______

    ​Jim.

    ^Excellent.

    I follow the work of Mr Moir and his latest paintings are rather eye-catching. A talented man.

    I've always set my targets very high, hence my Personal Mission Statement is "Striving For Adequacy".

    So that.

    The contents of "Striving For Adequacy" will be very much like war: long spells of soul-crushing tedium interrupted by brief moments of gut-wrenching awfulness.

    It will be a race between Reader and Writer to see who gets bored into a coma first. I feel I'll be on safe ground if I leave the last 80 pages blank - even if the occasional madman takes enough amphetamines to uncover this fact, it'll be handy for shopping lists, doodles, or when there's another pandemic and all the toilet paper runs out...

    I thought I'd document all this watch-related nonsense under the title: "a nerd's eye view".

    It's in Eddie's signature, but I'd go with:

    "It seemed like a good idea at the time"
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    WTF

    Sums up the events, experiences, decisions and people of my life, both good and bad. And I say the actual phrase several times each and every day.

    I seem to spend my days protecting people from their own stupidity, so this feels apt...

    Either, "Why me?" or "Kiss my arse".

    It would depend on my mood at the time of writing

    The standard of these titles is so good that I might have to rethink mine.
