An handsome young man in a fluorescent orange fleece has just come and unblocked my pipes.

Then he did the sink.

Poor b*st*rd must've been quite uncomfortable in a fleece. I'd have asked if he wanted to take it off and have a Diet Coke.

Ad = Hm * Ma where Hm is heat of the meat, and Ma is the mass of the ass.

I remember the the first forum post I ever made, and the first website I ever visited, and now I have a new tech memory to treasure. The first time I got a b*ll*ck*ng over Zoom.

It was for being rude to our manager in front of everyone at another Zoom meeting.

by cosmictanya Fri May 15, 2020 9:56 am

That seems quite insensitive of the manager - I think a phonecall would be less confrontational. Looking at that equation makes me feel unwell. They never made any sense to me. I particularly disliked the way teachers would say, if you have any problems with homework you can bring it to me tomorrow. Doing that very thing invariably led to them saying "what you're telling me is you just couldn't be bothered to do the work". No, what I'm telling you is that the ink on that page may as well be Japanese.

I have found out this morning, from my son before his lessons began, that his father and stepmother have the name Dominic on their shortlist if it's a boy. I fought tooth and nail to call him that, and his father refused. I'm not sure what to do - it's technically none of my business, but I'd feel robbed.

I think my current therapist has either mixed up my notes with someone else's, or else she's only been intermittently listening this whole time.

I had today's telephone session while on a walk/trip round Sainsbury's. She suggested that my intimacy difficulty might stem from a dislike of p*n*tration.

That would be absolute b*ll*cks of the first degree. Only shopping, hot dry weather, and uninterrupted sleep jostle for top spot in the sensation category.

by Nightjar Fri May 15, 2020 2:52 pm

Perhaps she means like when you sit on a drawing pin?

by Guest Fri May 15, 2020 3:02 pm

To be fair, that last P*n*tration album was terrible.

by cosmictanya Sun May 17, 2020 8:39 am

Yes, I should ask for clarity. I'll wait for our next scheduled appointment. The last time clarity was requested, she suggested that it could've been done without an 8,500 word email. Or I should say, she walked me into the cul-de-sac of voicing that conclusion myself. Evidently some of it was worthwhile, because we are still exploring it.

Can I just say if anyone posts one of those Penguin Classics cover thingies on here, I'll be breaking out my first negative karma.

by Nightjar Sun May 17, 2020 7:57 pm

Penguin Classics or Penguin Modern Classics?
