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...

A whole new world.

I appear to have moved into the pub. Now, I don't wish to give the impression that this has come as a complete surprise to me, we'be been planning to do so since shortly after I bought it, but still, it's sort of snuck up on me and now I'm waking up and thinking what happened? How come I'm here? The reason for this discombobulation is that this move was initially a temporary measure. Mrs Coastalblog had some relatives coming to stay, and it made sense to put them up in our house while we decamped to the flat. It's still a work in progress, but a mad week of cleaning and carting stuff around made it habitable. I had a suspicion that once we were in we'd be back and forth for a few weeks. As with many of my hunches, I was completely and utterly wrong. As it turned out, once we were here, we were here. Things moved at pace and, now our kitchen appliances have been installed, there's no going back, the old house is unusable. It's left me with slightly mi

Mad Dogs and Immigration Ministers

It is with no small degree of distress that I'm afraid to say I've been thinking about Robert Jenrick. I know, I know, in this beautiful world with its myriad of wonders, thetre are many other things about which I could think, the play of sunlight upon dappled water, the laughter of my children, the song thrush calling from the sycamore tree a few yards away from where I type this. Yet the shiny, faintly porcine features of the Minister for Immigration keep bubbling up into my consciousness. It's a pain in the arse, I tell you. A few years ago on here I wrote a piece entitled The cruelty is the point in which I argued that some policies are cruelty simply for the sake of it, pour decourager les autres . I was reminded of that recently when I listened to Jenrick defending his unpleasant, petty decision to order murals at a migrant children's centre to be painted over. You've probably heard the story already; deeming pictures of cartoon characters "too welcoming&

20

Huh. It turns out that this blog is, as of, well, roughly about now-ish, 20 years old. 20. I've been doing this (very intermittently) for twenty bloody years. And, I cannot help but note, still am, for some reason. I've done posts in the past, when this whole thing was comparatively blemish free and dewy-skinned looking back on its history and how it's changed down the years, there's not really a lot of point in doing that again. It's reflected what concerns me at the time, is, I think, the most charitable way of phrasing it (a  polite way of saying that it's been self-absorbed and solipsistic, but then, it's a blog, this should not come as a shock), it's interesting for me to look back over the lists of posts, but not so much for you, I imagine. Likewise, pondering how I've changed in the intervening years is also fairly pointless. It's painfully obvious that I was a very different person at 25 to 45, my experience of jobs and kids and marriage
