Ho hum

Random grab bag of thoughts and what have you from the last week or so.

Anthony Worrall Thompson. Anthony Worrall Thompson. Anthony. Worrall. Thompson. I'm writing his name three times in order to fix his horrible orc-like face in my memory, and what has the troll-featured cuntbubble done to attracts my ire? Why, suggesting that the minimum wage by abolished. And why should the minimum wage, that succour to nameless millions balancing precariously above the poverty line, be abolished? Because it would make waiting on staff work harder for tips. Anthony Worrall Thompson. Drink it in. Anthony. Worrall. Thompson (this, incidentally, is the same man who suggests turning up to a fully booked restaurant and insisting that you booked, because they'll have to let you in, he is a pox on humanity, a boil on the face of sweet mother earth, an enormous worm ridden shit in your chardonnay, to paraphrase the tone-deaf man's Tasmin Archer, Alanis Morrissette).

Ormskirk's getting more dangerous! After the "Karaoke Kicking" incident of a couple of weeks back last weeks Advertiser headline was "Blood on the Bones" the bones, in this case, being dominoes, so not as exciting as the headline would lead you to believe. It was a fight over a game of dominoes. Oh Ormskirk. Worth noting, however, that the chap whose blood was spilt was also recently in the paper accused of illegal campaigning in the SU presidency race. Publicity hungry little imp just can't stay out of the news.

Anthony Worrall Thompson. He did that cake with the Snickers bars didn't he? How could that possibly be any good? Wanker. Copper-bottomed wanker.

You make the decision to get married, you make the decision to buy a house, and all of a sudden you have to buy sofas. Why did this never occur to me before? Furniture always just sort of happened.

Dear Duncan Fletcher. Please drop Geraint Jones. A joke's a joke but it's getting a bit much now.

Day something or other in the big brother house, and still I manage to avoid it.

Madonna on a crucifix. Has she gone too far? Asks the Daily Mail today. No. Next question.

Anthony. Worrall. Thompson. Have you seen that thing he does with his hands at the end of saturday kitchen if he wins the vote? This little self deprecating gesture which is anything but. It says I knew I would win because I'm Anthony Worrall Thompson, you're a gay australian and you're a woman. I, however, am Anthony Worrall Thompson. And don't get me started on that pisspoor excuse for a wine expert, you know the one. Jamie Oliver's mate. That's right. I'm saving up a bucketload of piss and hatred for that clueless, fruit-fixated berk. No, the wine guy, not Jamie Oliver. Though now I come to think of it...

The last day of the county season

 Look, I never claimed to be cool. As a a cliched middle aged male, I have a number of interests which, if not exactly niche, are perhaps not freighted with glamour. Not exactly ones to set the heart racing. I yearn not for wakeboarding, my cocaine with minor celebrities days are well and truly behind me, you are unlikely to catch me writing graffiti under a motorway bridge. I do cycle, but only as a way of getting from point A to point B, you are unlikely, you will be relieved to hear, to see me purchasing lycra and or/doing triathlons. I like going for a nice walk. I'm fond of a good book. I have a deep attachment to county cricket. Yes, that's right, county, not even the international stuff which briefly captures the nation's fleeting attention once in a blue moon. County cricket. Somerset CCC to be precise, though I'll watch / listen to any of it. The unpopular part of an unpopular sport. Well, that's the public perception, the much maligned two men and a dog. N...

D-Day Dos and Don'ts for Dunces

Oh Rishi. Lad.  You have, by now, almost certainly become aware of the Prime Minister(for the time being)'s latest gaffe, as he returned home early from D-Day commemoration events in France, in order to "concentrate on an interview" which, as it turns out was already pre-recorded. There's been a fair bit of outrage, the word "disrespectful" is being bandied about a lot.  The word I'd use is "stupid". It is often said of the Brits that we have no religion but that the NHS is the closest thing we have to one. This, I think, is incorrect, because the fetishisation of WWII is to my mind, far closer to being our object of national veneration.  I understand why, last time we were relevant, fairly straightforwardly evil oppo, quite nice to be the good guys for a change, I absolutely get why the British public worship at the altar of a conflict which, I note, was a very long time ago. I think it's a bit daft, personally, but I understand it. So you...

The three most tedious food debates on the internet.

 I very much only have myself to blame. One of the less heralded aspects of running a business is that one is, regrettably, obliged to maintain a social media presence, it's just expected. And, if I have to do it, I'm going to do it very much in my own voice, as I don't tend to have time to stop and think when I'm bunging something on Insta. It seems to have worked okay so far. But, as a man better versed on the online world than he would prefer, I should have known better than to stick up a picture of our bread rolls, fresh out of the oven. In my defence, I did preface said picture by saying "one of the most tedious debates on the internet is what these are called...". Doubtless you've seen the argument somewhere, it's one of the workaday tropes that shithouse FB pages use to drive engagement. Need a few thousand clicks to raise the profile of your godawful local radio station/page about how everything was better in the past/shelter for confused cats?...
