I hate cars. As a method of getting from A to B in a reasonably efficient manner they do the job most of the time, but on the small percentage of occasions when they let you down they are evil, unforgiving, money-spunking contraptions.

A brief recap:
In my last blog post I was told I had high blood pressure and advised I should go and see my GP. Firstly, thank you all for your texts, letters, e-mails etc asking about my well-being.
I am of course being sarcastic, you uncaring set of bastards. Read the rest of this entry »

Monday was not a proud day, but I’m hoping it will be a watershed moment of sorts.
My employers very kindly gave us all the opportunity to have a quick, free health check, the highlight of which was watching someone feint after having their finger pricked for a cholesterol test.

I have a morning routine.
I get up, put on my dressing gown, grab a towel from the banister and walk into the bathroom. I have a wee-wee. I only shave on Mondays and Wednesdays, unless I have an important meeting with some important or a presentation or something, but this is rare and avoided at all costs.
If it’s a shave day I shave, then shower. Otherwise I get straight in the shower. Hair, face, armpits, ‘bits,’ feet, always in that order. I get out, dry myself, ruffle my hair in the mirror (if I don’t I’ll have shit hair — well, shitter than usual — all day). Dressing gown on, I put my towel on the banister and go downstairs, put the kettle on. Two mugs; me on the right, whatshername on the right. A teaspoon of coffee in each.

It’s been a couple of weeks now since my last blog. What’s he been up to? is the question that probably couldn’t have been further from your thoughts.
Have I been out running, eating healthily, and losing weight? No. Although I did lose three pounds. Then went out, got hideously swearily offensively drunk and had a curry. Read the rest of this entry »
