Practising Their Stupid

Ok so I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that I'm just not cut out for the Being Nice To Stupid People thing that customer service entails. Try dealing with this every day: Me: And your street number please. Cust: Canterbury. Me: The number, please. Cust: Canterbury. Me: Is that...

Practically A Local

So my visa extension was approved and now I'm legally allowed to reside in the Southern Hemisphere until April 2010. Yay an things. However this may have some severe implications for my hair, more specifically the back of it. Whilst mullets were outlawed in 1994 in most parts of the world, in...

Now I'm No Expert...

But is it seriously necessary to extract half the contents of my bloody arm just for a few fucking blood tests?! Anyway I survived it with only minor sobbing and they only had to get ONE extra nurse in to hold my hand. Oh and this is what I'd look like if I was transparent. And stood in front of...

Sunday, 19 October 2008 Counting the weeks…. “I love reading (well I use to when I was younger and while still in charged of my time). A trip or a holiday is like a good book to read! The only reason you want to read it again is if you did not understand it the first time. It doesn’t...
