Pessimistic, miserable drizzling cynics. That's us, a nation of jealous, pasty complainers with bad teeth (well done you, good teeth, but fucked-up healthcare , I know what I prefer - having stained incisors over being a self-medicating trauma victim any day - I'm sorry, sir, you're not insured for involuntary decapitation, have a nice day ). We talk about the weather because we have weather (and a history). And whilst we invented concentration camps and genocide , we didn't feel righteous about it - if there was one reason the British Empire had to exist, it was to destroy the Nazis, and then fuck off into sunset obscurity. To vote (by a landslide) for the dissolution of our evil back in 1945 . But we are still envious, unpleasant snobs. We are still sanctimonious prigs. Joy is anathema to the intellectual Englishman, our forte is complaint and guilt, shame and desperation. You look up, we look at the pavement (it's not a fucking sidewalk). I have made some...
Hey Nick,
ReplyDeleteWhat up with this test? Did you pass?
Wait.
I'm starting to sound like you.
As well, I just had an incredibly crap meeting with a panel of idiots. I love community, must remember, love community. How much can anyone argue about shrubbery and wheelie bins and remain sane, I'd like to know. Let's trim the wheelie bins and put the shrubbery out on alternative Tuesday. But that's just me. I have to spend the next several weeks moving ALL my flowers out of the front garden bed and into the back garden bed. Bless me if I can understand it. Great time for transplanting as well (spoken with dripping sarcasm, as unattractive as that may be).
Rather missed your blogging and ORG presents. 'Cause who doesn't like presents??
dang.
Bilbo Bloggins. I like that. Stream of conciousness.
Imagine me gardening. And gardening.
My spelling is getting further and further away from any standard. Heigh ho.

ReplyDeleteis that "whoa" as in "that's both rebarbative and egregious", or "whoa" as in "that's a cool, dude"?
ReplyDeleteI can never tell with this transatlanticlation.
"panel of idiots"? That's going to get used. Like an updated papal Confederacy of Dunces, but with extra venom.
ReplyDeleteThey have passed a death sentence on my shrubbery. I grieve.
ReplyDeleteThe "whoa" was for the strange little foray into, perhaps, Portugal? Jussst a wee bit out of context.
