Ranty Sort of Thoughts of the Day:-
1) Poor old Condoleezza Rice. What a name. Surely thats just too many letters. I notice that some people refer to her as Condie, which makes her sound like an affectionate name for a contraceptive.
2) Who was it that decided to slice up time it calculatable segments resulting in me always being late?.
3) Valentines Day. Its a bit rubbish this year.
Literary Quote of the Day:-
Taken from the guide book for St. Mary's church Streately.
"During the winter of 1891 there was a great 'freeze up' of the river, which gave rise to much revelry, this included the roasting of a sheep on the ice".
Sounds a bit dodgy to me. Were professional footballers involved? Was Stan Collymore watching from behind the bushes?
Song Lyric of the Day:-
"We come in peace" they said, to dig and sow
We come to work the land in common,
And to make the waste grounds grow
This earth divided, we will make whole
So that it shall be a common treasury for all.
The sin of poverty we do disdain,
No man has any right to buy and sell
The earth for private gain
Through theft and murder they took the land
Now everywhere the walls spring up at their command
Game of the Day:-
Discuss in words of no more than one syllable the management skills of your senior colleagues, or construct a humerous anagram out of the words 'MY BOSS IS A TWAT'.
Gibber of the Day:-
Feel a bit bad now. He's been OK since New Year actually - resoloution do you think? hope it lasts longer than his giving up smoking.
I'm a bit snoozy, but will briefly describe the process of 'Doing A Dan' with a couple of choice examples:-
1) Mobile phones and my lack of luck with them. Of the 4 phones I have destroyed in recent months 1 was left in a bag full of bananas next to a radiator for 3 days, filled up with banana juice and refused to work again. 1 was dropped in the stream as discussed in a previous Blog. 1 was dropped into a pint glass full of water, and another became so full of mud it refused ever to work again.
2) The Acropolis. Jonathan took me to Athens as I'd always wanted to see the Acropolis, we were there for one day, and arriving at the site at dawn were suprised to discover that it was closed for the day due to a strike by archaeologists - oooh the irony.
3) Got so drunk at an old college friends wedding (they shall remain nameless) that I forgot that a very beautiful lady had asked me to keep her company that night. I awoke in the morning next to Ginger Dave's feet, and was more than a touch annoyed with myself.
Such is life
How are we all?
Love and hugs
Dan
