Just a smidge stressed…

I learned something at work today - I don’t communicate as well as I think I do.  I had a few stressful hours trying to clarify some rather complex issues.  The other parties involved were  intelligent people and, in fact, I quite enjoy working with them.  But the difficulties I was having were really stressing [...]

I, for one, welcome our insect overlords…

So have you heard about how people are freaking out about bees disappearing?  Nobody knows for sure and some weird theories are floating about.  I don’t know what’s happening but fortunately I know somebody from the future who can give us the answer from his vantage point…

Crime Scene Investigation

I’ve noticed a tendency for people to try to make their lives, and more specifically their work, seem more exciting than it really is.  Usually, this desperate attempt to appear interesting simply highlights how fucked the person’s life actually is.
I remember years ago I was working in the IT department of an insurance company and [...]

Knowing when to give up

I’m open to discussing topics with somebody who has a different viewpoint.  Sometimes I even enjoy a full-blooded argument.  I like to think that lots of people are capable of learning and moving beyond their existing mindset.  But some people are just fucked.  Utterly beyond hope of redemption.  I’ve decided it’s important to know when [...]

Sheryl Crow can shut the fuck up any time now

For a while now, I’ve been thinking about writing a series about people who should shut the fuck up.  God knows there are enough people out there who need to have it said to them.  I’m normally one to favour calm, reasoned argument (yes I am, shut up!) but sometimes it would be really cathartic [...]

No talking in the toilet - video version

Well, yesterday’s post seemed quite popular and I have to admit, I liked it too.  So much so that I decided to do a video version of it, which I present now for your viewing pleasure. 
Before the video, a quick note about the “truth” of my posts.  I’ve mentioned before that pretty much everything I [...]

Why I avoid conversations in public toilets

A broadly accepted rule of male toilet etiquette is “no conversations” or at least keep conversations to a minimum.  The reasons behind this should be self-evident.  There are situations where I have my penis in my hand and I’m comfortable having a discussion but they are usually more intimate than a public toilet.
I had an [...]

The Angry News - The kinky principal

I never really liked my high school principal but that’s because he was a jerk.  I never had to put up with anything like the principal in this story though.  I haven’t done an angry news bulletin in a while but this story is made exactly for me.  This is the sort of story that [...]

The Noisy Neighbour

I’m going to trouble you for a little insight today readers.  What would you do if I was your neighbour?  I don’t mean that literally, as in you, yourself, knowing what I’m actually doing here.  I mean pretend you’d never heard of Mr Angry then one day you heard your neighbour screaming in what sounded [...]
