I have serious things to talk about but... they're not very interesting and I don't like to whinge and moan, it's not very attractive.

Instead, help me decide on a team name!

Myself and my friend Shelley, are taking part in the Bristol Mean Streets Rat Race and we need a name for the team. So far, the names we've come up with are:

"I'm not looking for a boyfriend, I'm looking for someone to rob banks with."

I said that when I was 18. It still applies today, although I'm not sure if it is entirely correct.

I think I'm punching above my weight.

Maybe I should change that to:

"I'm not looking for a boyfriend, I'm looking for someone to enjoy minor crimes and misdemeanours with."

I get what you are saying about Berlin, during the day is it quiet and a bit depressing, but at night, oh boy at night you see the true belly of the beast and it is very inviting. Clubs are open until 6 and there is a massive one for every flavor of music with cheap drinks and great people.

Is your dad doing ok?

So you are in Bristol, I loved it when I was there. I have family there and I went as a kid and recall there were lots of punk and metal shows and little shity venues with great bands. I can imagine it has changed quite a bit since then.

Business is all about profit and profit is all about people. Whereever the people are, whether it is product placement in movies or sponsoring a club, business will follow.

Yeah lot of it is the accent, but also knowing that the curse words are nouns, adjectives, verbs, pronouns... and how to interpret them. Here is a sample using the word fuck (I love that word):


It is also cavmanish in understanding sounds and shrugs to equal phrases.

I wouldn't say your accents are cold. I dated a girls from the UK and there were times that it definitely added to the mood.

Language exchange, too funny. I would be down. I am up talking to the UK all the time any way for work, so we can do audio lessons also.

okay, fair point.
but I'm sure he's encountered people be far more embarrassing than that!

fairly certain I've geeked the fuck out on several occasions (meeting Jim Lee? yeah, that was one. Andrew Robinson was another!)

I'm off!

Today I shall be moving house! I will leave my gorgeous little house in Bath in favour for an even littler house in Bristol. Slightly worried about my money situation as I've had to buy a metric fuck tonne of stuff, but I'm sure it'll be fine!

Have a lovely Easter everyone! xxx

Things you would only hear where I work:

"Should we buy the Pope some sherbert?"

"It's a butt plug... called the Cunt Screw..."

"Which colour diddling stick do you like?"

"What the hell is this and where do I shove it?"

"Do you think we can call the emergency services to get more bikinis delivered?"
"How is that an emergency?"
"Shut up! It's a naked...
