    I watch Balamory now. I wish Miss Hoolie was my teacher.

    Tis true enough.

    Did I mention that one of my homes I moved the middlefloor-left bathroom to one of the bedrooms next to it and turned the now empty room into a wardrobe.

    threaded in "the floor boards were rotten anyways, so it was cheaper to do it this way" mode

    Did I tell you the time I went for a "company presentation" at Vodaphone? To cut a long story short, I met Mr Gent in the foyeé and our suits were made of the same material, this triggered a conversation, and as we got chatting we soon realised we shared the same tailor!

    threaded in "friends in low places" mode.

    PS. and when I got out I found my car had be valetted as I'd accidentally parked in the directors car park.

    There's a guy down the gym (the one where I found a sequin in the gents loo this morning), who has the barcode of some fanzine tatooed on his neck. Like he's going not going to regret that in a few years time !!

    This guy is the nearest resemblance I can find:



    Except I don't have crappy Enlight case and no longer can be found at LAN parties (although there was a time once where the thought of endless supplies of Dominos pizza, no sleep and crates of red bull were appetizing).

    I don't do suits. If people don't like my wearing of crap band t-shirts and ADSA £8 black jeans then I'm obviously not going to get on with them anyway so no gig.

    Actually one of the guys at the current gig said he liked me because I was slightly insane looking.

    Nothing to do with suits but CP's sig link to ITLAPD reminded me of this

    Work safe despite the URL but you will need sound.
