Title: Things I learnt today
elvischomsky - March 29, 2009 05:47 PM (GMT)
1. I still can't solve Friday's quick crossword in the Guardian. [Buttercup relative 4,2, 1, 4)
2. Popular singer Will Young has bought a house next to the New Europe Hotel.
3. I think the man behind me in the internet cafe is a paedo. I shouted out "pervert" and it seemed to shut him up.
4. I prefer pineapple juice.
Good night.

Pineapple juice is very nice.
Why would Will Young buy a place in Brighton? :huh:

That Pineapple juice looks more like the colour of piss

I've just discovered fresh Pineapple (it's taken me long enough; I live near The Tradescant trust, named after John Tradescant, who introduced pineapples to England; the nearest pub is called The Pineapple, and Lambeth bridge has pineapples on it).
Pineapples, the juciest of fruits.

On Hercules Road? I used to drink in there. Not a bad boozer, apart from the off-duty coppers from Kennington nick.

1. Someone has lost a cat. It has a "distinguishing grey paw", apparently.
2. "Josh is sexy" - I can not verify this, but someone has written it on a wall.
3. The people who run this internet cafe can not spell "responsible".
4. They also clearly think this place is a den of thieves, judging from the message stuck to this computer.

That's the title of an old Marianne Faithfull album. :P

I've never liked the cover. It's always been a black and white cover photo, when the shirt she's wearing is clearly a multi-colored silk shirt intended to be bright and colorful. And would it've killed someone to have it pressed after they took it out of the package? You can't miss all the ugly the creases and wrinkles where it was folded. Also, it's is too big for her, and it hides her figure. Why did they cut her off at the legs? She's wearing the shirt like a mini-dress just so you could see her legs, and they cut them off. Bad, bad, bad.

1. I fancy the man sitting next to me.
elvischomsky - March 30, 2009 05:16 PM (GMT)
2. Don't think he's interested.

The new position of my desk at the office makes it harder to spend the day on the FOF.
In Japan, there's a movie about a girl with a machine gun in her anus and it's causing quite a stir on the FOF.
Pictures of the girl with a machine gun in her anus cause uncomfortable discussions with co-workers who walk by your desk.
GraemeLovesPinkLady - March 30, 2009 06:23 PM (GMT)
Apologies for that. If it is any help, the Machine Girl was explicitly made for the American market, and came out there many months before it was released in Japan - it'll be available at any big store near you with an Asian DVD section. Perhaps you could counter your colleagues concern with the fact that machine guns in anuses are nothing new in Japan, and go back at least to Astro Boy in 1963.

Yes. I was in there on Saturday night.

1. Mullberry Wines is now - technically - called Mullberry.
2. The blonde woman in Mulberry - not Mullberry Wines, no sirree - now calls me "love".
3. So does the woman in the internet cafe, that's bonding for you.
4. The paedo is not here today.

Against my better judgment, I recently began to find one of the women in Mulberry (Wines) quite attractive. I imagined a brief courtship followed by marriage and possibly two or three bonny children.
Until one day last week she wore a top with a low-cut back, and when she turned round I got a load of the hideous tattoo that covers her entire neck and shoulders.
Our wedding plans are henceforth in abeyance.

Which one? The buxom wench who left "to spend time with my children"? I loved her.

No, I remember her. She was hilarious.
The one I mean is... well, if you could temporarily imagine being heterosexual, she is the one whom you would find a bit sexy-ish.

Nope. No good.
They're all either blonde and rough or... dyed blonde and old, no?
I love them all though.
Except for that old supercilious patronising witch.

Nor in my office, as I found out to my shame. She's a heroine and an example to us all, apparently.
"And, yes Dawn, it would be a brilliant idea to build a statue in memory of her". Erm...I was joking actually.
