Wisdom (?) Shared

Today, Monday May 24th, I turn 10,000 days old. It's true that boredom leads to such discoveries, but I still feel like that was 5 minutes well wasted. Anyways, in honour of this momentous occasion, I've decide to share with you some of the priceless lessons life has taught me. Use this wisdom wisely, for I did not come by all of it easy!

- sneezing into an air vent is not a good idea.
- badgers break bumpers.
- if it seems too good to be true, it is. but try it anyways.
- football fandom brings more heartache than reward. if it doesn't, it's not true fandom.
- trust your 7 iron.
- find yourself a scapegoat. make sure you're not somebody else's.
- ignore peer pressure. don't give a fuck about what that ponce with the hairdo thinks about you because you'll all look back in fifteen years and cringe anyways.
- women are a mystery. be that through their own mysteriousness, or my idiocy, they shall remain so.
- toilet breaks on road trips are directly related not to the smallest bladder size in the car, but to that of the driver.
- the stupider a product, the more likely it is to catch on.
- some days you're the pigeon, some days you're statue. deal with it.
- remember, some of the best things you will ever eat will look like someone vomited on a molehill.
- forget about the chipmunk and get the fire extinguisher.
- toilets in Germany clog surprisingly easily. English ones are more difficult.
- don't trust a politician who doesn't wear a tie. they should all have something around their necks to facilitate a quick hanging.
- if you're gonna wear flashy boots on a football pitch, you're just increasing the chances that that stupid thing you tried to do gets noticed.
- being a good example is all good and whatnot, but being a terrible warning is so much more fun.

and finally,

enjoy yourself, you only get one shot at this so make sure it makes you smile.

As those of you who know me well enough know, I'm not a huge fan of gardening. And by not a huge fan, I mean I have about as much interest in nurturing plants and shrubs as I do in contracting Cholera. So you can imagine my reactions when Leigh-Ann declared last Christmas that she was applying for a community plot. Without going into the ins-and-outs of how and where we applied, but let's just leave it at: We got a plot. As it transpired, the plot is attached to my workplace, and as such, I have spent a reasonable amount of time, be it after work or during my lunch-break. I do what I can. Basically, I water it and try to not to touch anything that I know nothing about. Which is everything. And I mean everything. I've been telling Leigh-Ann for weeks that our Bean plants haven't been sprouting beans. Sure, they've got a lot of leafs, but no beans that I can see. She came down to the plot this last Thursday, for the first time in about a week. And harvested a good 7lb

Top o' the Mornin'

I'm not going to pretend that I was entirely looking forward to St Patrick's Day. It's different on this side of the world. For one thing, you're expected to work. And by work, they mean actual work. Not sit around with a hip flask of Jameson and pre-drink. So, I did. And when I was finished, I got on the bus and fell asleep, because that's just what I do on the bus home. I woke, as per usual (I have the timing down on this, by the way), as the bus was entering it's Express part of the journey. This is really where this post originates. A guy got on the bus, clearly dressed for a party and talking - nay, pleading - with his girlfriend. Apart from the whining - "b ut I waaaannnnnnaaa . . ." - I was particularly impressed with the guilt trip that he managed to lay on her by way of "it's just like Valentines Day" , and thereby implying that while Valentines is ALL about the girl, Paddy's is a free pass for the guy to get drunk and do wha

Dear Holland,

I know we've had some differences in the past. Wim Kieft shafted us badly some 22 years ago in Gelsenkirchin and sent you on your way to Euro glory. But I'll forgive you that. I'll forgive you all that, and the Maastricht Treaty as well. I'll even forgive you the fact that you have 2 names for your country, neither of which sound anything like each other and are slightly confusing to foreigners. I'll forgive the whole William of Orange thing as well. I'm sure that wasn't on purpose. And while we're on the subject, I'll even overlook the fact that you swear allegiance to the King of Spain in your national anthem. Or that you, at the very least, imply such allegiance. We'll pass by the whole wooden shoes thing. And the windmills. A country that flat can't really be relying on hydroelectricity for power, after all. Wind will have to do. The tulips? Okay, we'll move swiftly on. If that's how you float your boat, go for it. You see, tomorr
