Pieces of eight!

by sleeper @ 09/01/2008 - 23:46:17

From the sublime to the ridiculous. on Monday, I bought a new suit for £280 and then spent the evening patching a ripped knee on a pair of £30 jeans. Perhaps I sent myself on a guilt trip? :D

What does that mean? "What the hell is a 'caucasus'?" I thought to myself several times in the last few weeks of election waffle from the USA. Wikipedia came to the rescue (after I looked up the proper spelling on the BBC news website). Caucuses. Note the spelling...not like the region in Europe.

Hugh Fernly-Whatsisname...is currently doing a good thing promoting free-range poultry and showing us the evils of intense farming methods. In olden times, people treated their food with respect and many gave thanks to their god(s) or spirits for the gift of food. Now we delegate the food making to others and they deliver us rubbish served in polystyrene and treat the animals horribly...and we just don't give a f*ck! When we buy whole chicken, we do always buy free-range, but can't be sure about other meat we buy.

Am currently posted with a colleague in new department at work. 'Rock' is somewhat crazy but amusing with it. Another clever guy. Another person keeping the bar set high and making it tougher for folk like me! >:(

280 pounds? Were they covered in gold or something? Now I'm curious

:oops: I do spend quite a bit on suits myself

However, you shouldn't have sewn up that rip on the Jeans. You could have sold it on as a designer pair ;)

what do you mean, I can't keep everything ? They'll have to surgically separate me from the items in my oakenwood chest. They were only a few basic necessities to dull the pain of the maritime deprivation with which I shall ultimately have to come to terms.
Coming to think of it, there are a few more things that I just absolutely have to pack.....................

Bizarre! This looks like a software bug in the blog! I can't reconcile your comment with my post above. It might just be end-of-week fatigue... :)
