I’m sitting on the couch\u00c2\u00a0pondering the injustices that life has dealt me today.<\/p>\n
Injustice the first;\u00c2\u00a0I have just realised that my wife belches better than\u00c2\u00a0I do.<\/p>\n
I mean, how pathetic am I to be bettered in the belching department by one as young and beautiful as she?<\/p>\n
After the fantastic meal she cooked me this evening we sat on the couch and watched Studio 69<\/strike> 60 on Sunset Strip while we finished the remains of yesterday evening’s bottle of champagne – mixed with lemonade.<\/p>\n
So I should be well stoked up with nature’s little bubbles, yeah?<\/p>\n
Nope.<\/p>\n
Loser.<\/p>\n
And that brings me to…<\/p>\n
Injustice the second; I\u00c2\u00a0stupidly\u00c2\u00a0left behind a\u00c2\u00a0work of blogging art that I squandered<\/strike> laboured over in my lunch\u00c2\u00a0break today.<\/p>\n
My own fault really.<\/p>\n
I was a little hyper, went upstairs for a large latt\u00c3\u00a9 and my afternoon tin of Red Bull, came back down and just plowed in to it.<\/p>\n
Brilliant.<\/p>\n
Or so I thought at the time.<\/p>\n
But right now I’m not so sure that an observation\u00c2\u00a0on flushing the toilet after urinating has quite the literary appeal – or wit – it had earlier today.<\/p>\n
Injustice the third; actually this isn’t an injustice, more a case of stupidity brought on by…<\/p>\n
Oh I don’t know…<\/p>\n
Yes I do!<\/p>\n
Brought on by a case of genetics!<\/p>\n
Yep indeedy!<\/p>\n
This thing was an active of stupidity that I can quite clearly blame on my… (pauses whilst mentally searching the family tree for a suitable victim)…<\/p>\n
Cousin Llewellyn.<\/p>\n
Yeah, this one’s because of my cousin Llewellyn because if it hadn’t’ve been for him I (probably) wouldn’t have got in to that indelicate situation at the convent in Abergavenny that involved me, a first-floor window, a large bottle of Quink (black, I seem to remember, half a pint) and Sister Mary Joseph walking underneath.<\/p>\n
So injustice the third\/stupidity the first; I paid a lump of money in to somebody else’s account.<\/p>\n
Well der, of course it was supposed<\/em> to go in to somebody else’s account.<\/p>\n Just not the one where I ended up sending it.<\/p>\n That bloody Llewellyn.<\/p>\n All his fault.<\/p>\n So in the absence of a slightly dubious piece that I worked on whilst chomping on my sandwich, here’s a blog brought to you through the power of mime…<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n B<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n p.s.
