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...

To all intents and purposes, a bloody great weed.

I absolutely love trees, and I get quite irate when they get cut down. One of the aspects of life with which I most often find myself most at odds with my fellow man is that I'm not really a fan of the tidy garden. I like to see a bit of biodiversity knocking about the gaff, and to that end I welcome the somewhat overgrown hedge, am pro the bit of lawn left to run riot, and, most of all, very anti cutting down trees. I love the things, habitat, provider of shade, easy on the eye, home to the songbirds that delight the ear at dawn, the best alarm clock of all. To me, cutting a naturally growing tree down is an act of errant vandalism, as well as monumental entitlement, it's been around longer than you. So, this being the case, let me say this. The public outcry over the felling of the tree at Sycamore Gap is sentimental, overblown nonsense, and the fact that the two men found guilty of it have been given a custodial sentence is completely insane. Prison? For cutting down a Sycam...

Oh! Are you on the jabs?

I have never been a slender man. No one has ever looked at me and thought "oh, he needs feeding up". It's a good job for me that I was already in a relationship by the early noughties as I was never going to carry off the wasted rock star in skinny jeans look. No one has ever mistaken me for Noel Fielding. This is not to say that I'm entirely a corpulent mess. I have, at various times in my life, been in pretty good shape, but it takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of vigilance, particularly in my line of work, where temptation is never far away. Also, I reason, I have only one life to live, so have the cheese, ffs. I have often wondered what it would be like to be effortlessly in good nick, to not have to stop and think how much I really want that pie (quite a lot, obviously, pie is great), but I've long since come to terms with the fact that my default form is "lived-in". I do try to keep things under control, but I also put weight on at the mere menti...

Inedible

"He says it's inedible" said my front of house manager, as she laid the half-eaten fish and chips in front of me, and instantly I relaxed.  Clearly, I observed, it was edible to some degree. I comped it, because I can't be arsed arguing the toss, and I want to make my front of house's lives as simple as possible. The haddock had been delivered that morning. The fryers had been cleaned that morning. The batter had been made that morning (and it's very good batter, ask me nicely and I'll give you the recipe some time). The fish and chips was identical to the other 27 portions I'd sent out on that lunch service, all of which had come back more or less hoovered up, we have have a (justified, if I do say so myself) very good reputation for our chips. But it was, apparently, "inedible". When it comes to complaints, less is more. If you use a hyperbolic word like that, I'll switch off, you've marked yourself as a rube, a chump, I'm not g...
