A Request

To read about juggalicious of Didsbury who tonight is running the streets of south Manchester (who knew?)
One only hopes that some fine material and strong elastic is at play.
I thank you

Do people at work really like each other?

When they leave you can tell.
Tears are a good sign you were popular.
Good gifts - ditto
The number of people who come out on your leaving do - that's a good sign to - but you have to really understand those that have no real life will turn up even if they feel ambivalent to you - and some will come because they like other people who are going rather than you.
Why is all this?
It's because we aren't real at work
Why don't we really give of ourselves to colleagues.
Can colleagues be great friends or do we simply not trust them enough?
We show friends weaknesses and this isn't something we often do to colleagues
Fair enough - we have mortgages to pay BUT
Lets try keeping it real
I can sense a movement coming on - no not that kind of movement - one where I can encourage participation, openness, great friendship
I just need to talk to Claire about the protocol for disciplining all my new friends if they don't perform

I'm getting requests...

Excellent
A small but very loyal band of followers (well as loyal as one can be after 48 hours) are now vying for a mention in this here blog.
How great is that?
....... but fuck off
Spoils the spontaniety
But did give me my first inspiration of teh day to post.
thanks Debs

It happened again

Can't remember much trauma in my life but one that definitley sticks out was pretending to be ill when I was 13 with a cold
Dragged to doctors - long story short - forget about the cold - you are obese lets get you to the hospital
In the long run - did me a favour. Got my head out of the fridge. B ut kind of stung at the time (understatement)
Went today for a sinus check, got involved in a conversation about snoring and before I knew it I was on the scales again.
Apparently by BMI of 27 makes me officially overweight (25-29 is overweight so apparently I'm half way to obese)
Now I know my belly has swelled over recent months but even in my paranoid about weight state (see early post - which was to self for those who have told me I am being offensive to fat people) I didn't actually think I was that fat. Just needed a couple of weeks of gym and better eating.
How thin does one have to be these days?
And the moral of the story?
Don't go the doctors with a cold.................. they'll only tell you that you are fat

Toilets everywhere here I come (warning this is not a cottaging story)

Looked at Steve's today. Much more professional than mine but duller for it lets face it.
I'm sure he'd agree - he thinks I'm funny.
In fact that's the only feedback I've had so far so I'm going to work with that and consider this the book I never wrote.
I'm fretting about the professional side of blogging - particularly after having met the king of blogs last week - sweet Jesus - even uploaded photo's had movement and sountrack although I agree with Chris - my face should really have appeared at the same time as the words 'this sex is on fire'. Would have pleased me that.
Anyway lets face it - me and technology are strange bedfellows. I blow hot and cold unless its excel in which case I am colder than cold
Back to my book
Schott made loads of money with his boring miscellany and that made it into toilets all over the globe.
If I try and keep all posts to an average poohing time then I can write a book of roughly 1500 chapters and make millions.
So - themes, structures and editing.
I have thought about them and have decided to ditch them.
I feel you should be able to dip in and out of my book and grab a snapshot of perfect enjoyment in small bites. You want more. Just tuck in.
I think I am onto a winning idea here - my main problem now being I dont know if I shlould stop typing.
Exactly how long is an average pooh?

My Gay Ipod

Was on shuffle this morning on the drive to work.
No Kings of Leon, Duffy or Eddi Reader.
Kylie, House, Madonna and Girls Aloud provided this mornings sing along.
Some questions:
Have I always had the musical taste of an 11 year old girl (probably yes - started with Abba) ?
Is the overall family usage of the one machine ramping the camp?
Is it now cool to come out of the (musical) closet?
I need to butch up

Yah big fat fucker

Yes you
You know who you are
Don't come it
You know the crap you are stuffing in your mouth
You know you haven't been near the gym for ages
Join the dots fat boy

Fashion?

From Gdansk.
WTF.
We are minutes from some decent shops.

Sexual Politics In the Office

I love em.
Break up the day.
More please
(clearly for the sake of clarity I need to point out that my admiration is purely from an observation viewpoint - for when Sara reads this)
The trigger for today's viewpoint was of course the Bolton Dynamo herself.
I'm happy to have been of service
(again.... so to speak)

Christmas Lights


Not bad in the end.
In fact better than expected. After initial grump from children who couldn't see (fair enough I suppose) - a good free hours enteratinemnt and a bloody good firework show for free
Even a bit of Christmas spirit in the air with smiling people and glowing children
It's a coming............ and I almost got in the mood....

To share or not to share

Hmmmm
Have told people I am blogging.
They want to know url.
I knowits so they can take the piss
Do I share?
Hmmmm
Am going to sleep on it.
Fear if I kow I have an audience will perform for them and I'm still not cure why I'm doing this.
Feels like dear diary at the moment.
Or like an affair without the wet bits

Obamarama

Why is everyone so happy about it ? It's great . When were we ever as
engaged in US politics ?
I'm fascinated as to why I would feel emotional and hopeful too .
Are we finally waking up to the fact we are fucking the planet ?
Charmed by good looks and great speeches ?
Fed up of spending billions fighting for people who seem to broadly
hate us?
Perhaps we understand one global village more?
And isn't it brilliant the role technology has played . Lessons indeed
for digital marketing strategies everywhere .
Its probably all of the above but I am liking to also think that it's
about basic human decency and hope .
Things ain't good in a number of areas ( put mildly ) and we do what
we can as individuals.
Now we elect him in the hope he uses his power and galvanises money
and policy for things that matter and are right .
Good luck Barack matey and thank you so much for ensuring crazy Palin
is packed back off to Alaska . Better moose than Muslims

W(h)ine

I need to give it up . It can't be good for me and I can't seem to say
no when it's being pored .
Upside was got to meet some nice people and have just realised I
didn't spend any money . Whoops .
Now I feel like a tight wad . Oh well my turn next time.
So networking events . Do they work or are they merely stuffed with
people you wouldn't give the time of day to anywhere else ?
Truth be told I thought the latter but last night changed my mind .
Have decided to give it six months and assess what I'm / the business
is getting out of it.
Which means I have to learn to say no to the wine.
Whine.

First mobile post

Thank you James


got to start somewhere

Ok so this is it.
Pressure.
Not sure who I'm going to share this with. Probably keep it scret until it's interesting..... so probably be a while.
And there is the sticky topic of addiction.
What if I can't stop and it's shit.
And. I'll be in trouble at home.
Feels dirty.
I like it already
