I like the Teletubbies too. Dipsy is a cool dude.
I watch Balamory now. I wish Miss Hoolie was my teacher.

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.

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!

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

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.

Originally posted by CaribbeanPirateThe only time I've worn a suit in the last two years was my mums funeral last week. I doubt if I've a a suit on more that 2 or 3 times in the three years before that. Good shirt and tie, shoes trousers yes, but a proper suit nah. I don't even have a jacket to got to dinner in.
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.
