What a Smashing Pumpkin

It’s Halloween.
It seems to have totally passed me by. Is this an age thing? Jo, I bet your young uns are going crazy for that sweet candy. Is it a London thing? Everyone is far too cool to bother having a good time. I know Napoleon is having a hard time in his small village, […]

Bolokov

There’s a new Russian member of staff with the above surname. Am I the only person who finds this incredibly amusing? We already have a Dutch chap by the name of Kornt van Wynk. Small things amuse small minds and all that. However, neither of these people pronounce their names phonetically. It’s Booliyokov and van […]

Reality Time Shift

I literally time travelled yesterday. Yeah! It was brilliant. One moment all my clocks said 1pm and 15 minutes later they all said 12.15. I’d travelled an hour into the past. I don’t think it was just me either – the whole country partook in it’s own temporal back step. It made me feel a […]

Merry & Pip’s In

Please join me in wishing Pip a very happy birthday. He has hit the big three O and is feeling rather depressed about it. I’ve still got a few years to go yet so I have no idea how he’s feeling. Hee hee.
Pip has always been old at heart. He doesn’t like any of that […]

Simply Dead

I heard some brilliant news on GMTV today (no, Fiona Phillips hasn’t been sacked – I know her brother and he’s a total git). Simply Red are to split up after all these years on the circuit. This is good because they are rubbish. Some people do not like Hick Mucknall because he is ginger. […]

Sweat-a-rama

Why oh why is it that every time I do an Overview at work my armpits leak? It doesn’t happen at any other time. I’m sat here telling other departments about how amazing I am and the incredibly interesting things I do and my pits leak like a ragging torrent. It’s most embarrassing, especially when […]

Sport-tacular Defeats

It’s been a rather impressive weekend of loss for England’s sporting giants. England have now lost in the Rugby World Cup and Lewis Hamilton was defeated in Formula 1 (he may be reprieved). This follows England’s football defeat by Russia, which could mean the national team will not take part in the Euro Championships, this […]

No Such Thing as a Free Punch

I did it. I spent two long hours in the company of various colleagues and my CEO. My initial feelings of bliss are rapidly being replaced by intense paranoia. Now I’m worrying that I said something stupid and everyone thinks I’m an idiot. We had to go around the table and give a short talk […]

The National Year of Worry Campaign

I’m dead good at worrying. It’s one of the things that I’m genuinely good at. I’m looking forward to the day it becomes an Olympic sport so that I can represent my country – I’m that good. Be it having a leak in my flat, not receiving an item I’ve ordered or getting from my […]

Kill Bill

The recent industrial strike action by the Post Office seriously affected my deliveries. The militant postal workers outside Whitechapel sorting office looked rather unhappy on their picket line as I walked past them on my way to work. But I’m not here to discuss the plight of the postal employee.
The strike has now ended and […]
