You can tell when Gaywood's played too much Unreal Tournament III when he has big-head mode on in real life. |

Quote: The group then jumped into a car and escaped. A short distance from the scene of the crime the men attempted to swap cars in Avery Road. However this vehicle failed to start, and they continued their escape on foot attempting to hide in gardens to avoid capture before being arrested by police officers. Rookie error lads! ALWAYS check your backup getaway car before your armed robbery. Ideally, just hire Jason Statham. |

I need to learn the abbreviations for US states. Just been looking at the tour dates for one of my favourite bands, punk country group Lucero, and saw a town followed by an abbreviation. Ah, I think, I might be in Arkansas around then, wonder how far it is from where I'm going? So I bash the name into Google Maps and add the battlefield I plan to visit so I can see how for out of my way I'd be going. ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! |

I was told not to put something on Facebook in case it offends MrsA's family. So I defriended them all, and totally didn't mention Buxton Conservative Club and how women. Can't be members and how I won't be going there again. Ever. The mysogynist dinosaurs. |

TOP TIP! When watching a crazy program about crazy mothers, it's not a good idea to suggest that being a coal miner is a harder job than being a full time mother. Oh god no. |

We had a forg in our garden. It's gone away somewhere, possibly it got sick of me nearly kicking and standing on it in the dark. Shame. I liked forg. It ate the slugs. |

When discussing the use of 'management speak' in the workplace (or anywhere), I tend to defend it for the most part. Different trades and situations require different use of language. But, Lordy, they're getting ever-so-wanky at my company at the moment. An old database is going to be binned. But are we canning it? Shutting it down? Changing it? No, we're 'sunsetting' it. Cripes. |
