I’ve just twittered and feel so unsatisfied by it I feel compelled to ellaborate.<\/p>\n
The tweet was:<\/p>\n
“Really really f*ck*ng grumpy. Totally f*ck*ng got the grumps. B*st*rds. C*nts. F*ck*ng tw*ts. Don’t laugh at me. I’m grumpy<\/em>.”<\/p>\n Now, people who know me are, right now, leaping to their feet to defend me. Or defend my character, would be more correct.<\/p>\n You are not, they’re shouting with one voice, a grump.<\/p>\n Listen hard enough and you can hear them.<\/p>\n Hark!<\/p>\n Hear them?<\/p>\n Me too.<\/p>\n But for some fucking reason this evening I am really really fucking grumpy.<\/p>\n Not even the sight of the sainted Sadra Bullock on television is lifting me mood.<\/p>\n Sandra Bullock, that is. Not Sadra. Her lesser-well-known cousin.<\/p>\n But the point of this ramble is to underline that ‘grump’ is neither my default mode nor my most common mode.<\/p>\n I’ve been reviewing unpublished blog posts. Does anyone else do that? Keep unpublished articles until the time is right to release them upon the world?<\/p>\n They underline my point again.<\/p>\n There’s the very humorous: Bang Bang You’re Dead.<\/p>\n The side-splittingly funny: Ten Tell-Tale Signs That Your Loved One Is A Mentalist<\/p>\n The slightly maniacally hilarious: Tomorrow We’re Taking A Train<\/p>\n A Trip In The Life Of An Oxford Tube Veteran is so funny that it’s been nominated for an award. By me.<\/p>\n Horses, Courses And Other Obstacles In Life made me laugh so much a little bit of wee came out. And I wrote it!<\/p>\n And the yet-to-be-published Extreme Black Cabbing is so funny that Word chuckles to itself everytime I load it.<\/p>\n That’s my point.<\/p>\n I’m a funny guy.<\/p>\n Funny guy is my default mode.<\/p>\n It really is!<\/p>\n Just not now.<\/p>\n Not tonight.<\/p>\n Except listening to Jonathon Woss pronounce ‘Wufuss Wainwight’ did lift my mood a little.<\/p>\n But for the most part tonight, ladies and gentlemen, tonight I am a fucking grump.<\/p>\n You have been warned.<\/p>\n Why is there never a Jehovah’s Witness knocking on the door when you want one?<\/p>\n I want a really good fight.<\/p>\n Yes I know it’s 1am, that’s not my fault.<\/p>\n I’m grumpy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve just twittered and feel so unsatisfied by it I feel compelled to ellaborate.
