Childhood Toys: I wish I still had my...

2009-11-05T17:54:15-06:00

Major Morgan
Awwww toys used to have such character and what a little trooper he was. Ok, so all of the tunes were a bit samey and probably torturous for any adults but I loved him. Bless you Major Morgan....I suppose your batteries ran out and then you mysteriously broke....unable to be mended....like all of the other vaguley noisy toys I used to have.

My Grifter
I loved that bike. It never split in two like my Chopper or forced me to make hazzardous decisions like the Racer. The Grifter was like the beginnings of a mountain bike I guess but it was so heavy...it was like pedalling a tank!

My doll collection
I had a huge collection of little dolls. I gave them away to younger family members but I sooo wish that I'd have kept them. Just for the novelty value now I suppose. They were so random I could never replace them all.

I've been told I resemble

2009-11-05T17:27:25-06:00

I don't think I look like any but the ones I get told most often are:

Chloe Annett

Wonder Woman

Zooey Deschanel

I wish!!

I can see in your bedroom from my bathroom
Now this is going back a loooong time. It was in my local pub and a guy who I vaguely recognised but didn't really know just came out with it. Needless to say I spent the next two years with the curtains in my bedroom firmly closed at all times!

You've got spanner eyes...when I look into them my nuts tighten
At my Uni ball....what did I do?.. I errrr checked :-S

You just got a magic tree! What does it grow?

2009-11-05T16:32:50-06:00

Toblerones...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm if only.

My name is...

2009-06-28T14:59:50-06:00

Tallulah Kawowski...I just like the sound of it.

I probably shouldn't have said that

2009-06-25T13:08:25-06:00

I asked a dj to play a cheesey tune while I was out one night. I should point out that he was already playing far worse than it. When I asked him he screwed his face up and shook his head. I thought i'd try to persuade him with....'I know it's old, but so are you!' Oh dear. I don't know what I was thinking.

My life would make a great comedy movie

2009-06-25T13:03:53-06:00

From falling into drumkits to having an escalator eat the heel of my boot. I should really string it all together into a script.

Zombies!

2009-04-24T16:03:18-06:00

First find a good place to hide with an axe, a lifetime supply of Ben and Jerry's and Entertainment: dvds, internet access, cds. Then phone my mate Denise -she knows all there is to know about zombies. Just a case of waiting it out...sooner or later they'll turn on each other. Not much different to living here really ;-)

Plinky: My money's on the pack of hyenas

2009-04-24T15:54:02-06:00

Animal face-off! Who would win in a fight between a gorilla and a pack of hyenas?

Hyenas are like the chavs of the animal world. They might as well be wearing sovereign rings and burberry caps.

Plinky Randomness: You should go enjoy Achill Island in County Mayo, Ireland.

2009-04-19T15:53:42-06:00

Velvet green fields, sheer cliffs, hills a plenty, golden beaches and the crashing might of the Atlantic Ocean. Even the rain in Achill is beautiful. So fine but ruthless. It soaks you through in seconds. Makes for good rainbows though!

The Female of the Species - Bad breakups

2009-03-19T14:43:12-06:00

Well first of all I should point out that I had been trying to break up with this guy for two weeks. Bad things just kept happening to him and I couldn't bring myself to dump him on top of it all. First he had a golfing accident and hurt his arm, then his mum tried to kill herself then she went missing, then he lost his job. It was all pretty harsh but I needed out.

Anyway, this particular day I thought i'm just going to do it no matter what happens. I had psyched myself up to do it but he crashed his car on the way over. Seriously! Not to be deterred this time, I decided to just do it over the phone. I used the phone in my little brothers room and he gave me a lecture about how I was 'beyond shady' for dumping Mr Jinx after him having such a bad fortnight. So I make the call and as I start with the crappy excuses and reasons 'The female of the species' by Space comes on the TV. By this time my brother was bent double laughing and I mean hysterical! He still winds me up about that...'Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you. Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue. The female of the species is more deadly than the male'.

Seat me next to the quiet starer, please...

2009-03-15T16:01:32-06:00

Too talkative or too quiet?

Quiet starer would obviously be in awe of my beauty. Besides....I am the talkative person with the really irritating voice! :-p

The power of suggestion... and JML

That Ped Egg advert should be banned. Is there ever a good time to see someone shaving off their feet cheese?

I'll admit to being tempted by the 'Gem styler' but I imagine it to be quite addictive and worry about whether i'd ever be able to stop 'bedazzling' things.

Just been over to the JML website to have a look and have found a few things that I own or have owned in the past. 'Miracle dry foam', 'Super mop pro', 'Toastabags' and 'Clari Tweeze'. I got the 'Clari Tweeze' from the closing down sale at Woolies but was still dissapointed as they are pretty crap. They are unbelievably bulky. It's like trying to pluck your eyebrows with a pair of pliers, albeit with a teeny torch and magnifying glass attached. The mop and the carpet cleaner were pretty good though. I'm yet to use the Toastabags. Maybe I will today!

I'd definielty buy some Dryer balls. I've been meaning to for a while. They cut drying time and soften fabrics so can only be a good thing right?
I'm so susceptable to suggestion though. I ban myself from watching the shopping channels as i'm such easy prey. I still want an inversion table that I saw on QVC (the Derren Brown of shopping channels) years ago. I got so close to ordering it but luckily someone sensible talked me out of it. Ahhh I bet it feels like heaven for your back though. Hmmmm maybe i'll add one to my Amazon wish list.
