I wish I had a Hot-Tub Time Machine.
So Matt, ya wanna' buy some plums? They're good. We're selling them at 20p per lbs - which I think is too cheap seeing as there've been a decent number of people buying them.
20p/lbs haha, you’re practically giving them away! Y’know I think our plum supply is ok for now, but if ever I feel the urge to buy plums…
What is your professional view on plums?
My professional view on plums. Hmmm, depends where from, Spanish ones are best. And if there’s been a good English summer, the local ones are pretty decent too, otherwise I’d pass on the others, not as good.
I took this question and my job waaaayyyy too seriously!
Dropped a spoon on laptop; laptop scratched.
FFUUUUUUUCCCKKK. :@
that's a pretty cool blog you have there!

Hey, thanks. Yours is pretty nifty too.
I always wonder how people find my blog…?
Somebody told me I look from Daniel Meade from Ugly Betty last Saturday...
I don’t quite see it?

I have to go to work and train the person that's taking my job...
Awesome.
I live in an area where the talk on our street for the past week has been how one of the cats are pregnant…
I’m surrounded by old people.
Ouch.
Checked my online bank statement after last night.
£50 withdrawal…
Check my wallet, £1.60 left.
FUCK.

15 days until I move out…
I feel for you, I was once chased by two chavette’s who made a comment and I happened to not think and my response may have included the slight orange tinge in their skin. but then thats slough for you, walk on, dont make eye contact and you live!
Hahah, they actually chased you!?
Genuinley Scared.
Today I was in one of those moods where you drift off thinking of something, then snap out of it realising you’re just staring or looking at someone/something.
Well this happened today, but I happened to snap out of it and be facing a suitably dressed chavette. Oh, the Superdry jacket, the popped collar, trackies tucked into fluorescent socks and then the mud tarnished white nikes, it was all there. Then she did that kind of “trys” to speak English language but comes out sort of like “Wot you lookin at eh foor eyes” and because I was just out of dream mood I was just kind of like “erm, err, what?”, which was replied to in quick succession by “Get aat my way arighh” then stormed off past me. In those few seconds when she lumbered towards me, I was genuinely scared for myself. Was I about to be beaten up by this thing!? Fortunately not.

Simple.
Top 10 chart music comes on. So do the ear defenders.
Why do you like pleasuring monkeys? Is it the hair that turns you on?
Haha, what?! Where did this come from?
Come on Anon, explain.

Four Types of University Drinkers
The Churchill
The rarest of campus tipplers, this guy can go toe to toe with the best of boozers, yet still makes it to class every morning and maintains a 3.0. Normally a leader in the Greek system or student government, this dude has a legit job before graduation.
The Dean Martin
This cat pretends to be drunk but rarely is. This allows him to fit in but maintain full control. He’ll rarely order a drink in front of anyone, as they are often soda with a splash of cranberry. Overcompensates by talking about drinking way too much.
The Viking
Did someone say shots? Funnels? Keg Stands? This dude is down for it all. Able to hold it like a pro, until pushing himself beyond his limits. This guy is not afraid to puke, pass out, rally, then beat the shit out of some poor sod who is “looking at him funny.”
The Jester
This guy loves to drink almost as much as he lives to make people laugh. He has no problem busting everyone’s balls, especially his own. Can be obnoxious, vulgar, and rude, but normally is funny enough to smile, chuckle, and elbow his way out of it.
The Andy Dick
This guy has no business near anything alcoholic. Within two drinks this dude is falling down drunk, slobbering all over himself, and groping chicks he doesn’t know. After a few solid-ass beatings and arrests, he either disappears from campus or makes his way to skid row.

Bayoneting The Wounded
noun. slang term for drinking the half-finished beers the morning after a party. Hammering down the one with a cigarette butt (aka the Spaulding) = no more bayoneting for you.
It has history!
My friend Tom who now lives in NZ bought a suit for 13 bucks. Pretty cheap right? Well, it comes with a slight story as well, it was cheap, because somebody died while wearing that suit. If that wasn’t slightly weird enough, there is a gun shot hole on the chest, the exterior has been stitched up, but they left the inside with this gun shot hole.
He reckons it was some guy in the Mafia because the suit is from Italy.
But yeah, it’s a proper weird story behind it, and it was dead cheap. What’s not to like about it…apart from the whole dead guy smell to it…?
