i found a HUGE bag of whizz once.

i've no idea how much it was worth but i couldn't fit it in my pocket. that was pretty rad.


i didn't want to say

but that one time when i shot heroin was probably the best thing ever.


^ this

too bad all those other hits weren't the same. thousands of pounds wasted. at least i was decadent for a while.


^ i guess this

i can't think of anything


bit into a kitkat

found it was solid chocolate. NO BISCUIT.

or, moving to germany in 2004. I should've stayed there :(


yeah well i've had it 5 times.

the first time though...


its weird how exciting it is

considering in the shop you are given the choice between kit kat and solid chocolate yet opted for the kit kat


Ha ha.

:)


Buying an ordinary packet of Wine Gums...

...opening it, and finding that it contained only red, black and orange ones.


Eurgh

The black ones are the worst!

However, I once opened a packet and there were only red and green ones. I let out a little prayer of thanks to a god I had previously ignored, and tucked in.


Racist!

P.S. Ugh! Green!


Green were, are, and always will be, the best flavour

Followed closely by red.


^


Never

I always gave the black ones away. Blackcurrant flavoured things make me feel physically ill.

Like I wasn't raised on Ribena. When I moved here from America when I was 7 someone gave me some and I was all, "What is this shit?!" Terrible stuff. I'm convinced people only like it because they were indoctrinated into it.


:D

Interesting theory! The blackcurrant industry brainwashing the masses is something I'd like to be true.


when

a stranger proposed to me once. My life has been pretty dire.


Once, 16 people listened to my radio show

all at the same time.


really?

after you advertised it on a site apparently read by 40,000 users a day?

;)


I was going to say

"I was talking about my penis," only then I thought: "no, thats far too tasteless a joke," so I didn't.


huh, odd

that was my first thought when posing the question. i then backtracked and kept it vague though. it was a good second or two, you should have been there.


When I was on top of Mt Kenya

I felt pretty great.


internetz


hmmm

my last day of school was pretty wonderful. the relief of never having to see hundreds of people ever again is pretty enormous.
also, i wrote a poem for a 6music competition once and it got read out on air and they sent me an email back telling me i was awesome. it kept me amused at work for almost an hour.

exciting things don't generally happen to me.


oh man, it was fucking awesome

Oh flowerpot, oh flowerpot,
how beautiful and delicate you are
i'm going to push you off a desk
and watch you fall to your slip'ry death!

the dj said it was 'very macabre'.


I

Vaguely remember doing the lindy hop with a drag queen at the Bestival last year. That was pretty good.


doing......

.....a 3-way.

Nuff said.


no really

please, more.


"SHUT UP"


My sister giving birth to my nephew

It was Friday 13th October, and I was off to see Sunn 0))), Burning Star Core and Leopard Leg. I got a call from my mum to say that little Freddy had been born, as I was talking to Jarvis Cocker who shouted congratulations down the phone. As I hung up Sunn 0))) came on, and I can't really remember feeling as happy as I did then.


It was actually the best thing ever

I ended up in Peterborough that night (fell asleep on the train and missed my stop), and I didn't care at all, and usually when I end up in Peterborough I want to hang myself.


i know this is really lame

but getting together with reece
*blushes*


Vids.

kplzthnx


...on my own

sat on the computer... you dont need avideo of that


^ghey


i love you schmoopy

'yooour theeer beessst thiiiiingg thaaaaats eveeerr happey too meee!'


getting my 2:1 and being accepted to my post-grad.

I felt so proud of myself and relieved. <geeeeeeek>


:D

I'd've put this if:
A- I have got a 2.1
B- Been accepted for a Post Grad
C- I was you.


yeah, but:

A. you won't be teaching apathetic, smarmy teenagers for the rest of your working life

B. you don't have accidentally dyed ginger hair due to a bleaching problem last night, so you can't be me =(


I don't have accidentally dyed ginder hair, no.

BUT I do have the annoyance of having been ginger when I was a bairn (LOL) and thusly have a ginger beard in the summer. I win (loose).


is a 2:1 the best you can get?

no gillette jokes


Holy shit.

I presses Post Reply without finishing my joke.

It was supposed to end with BUT SHITTIER THAN A FIRST NANANANA.


Being blindingly drunk AND stoned.

Waking up with £100 in my pocket, a Mercades Benz badge and no hangover. THAT was amazing.

OR

Driving from Aberdeen to London and realising I could've just kept on going. That was such a cool feeling... and one day I will do it!


Indeed.

I am so considering just getting into my car and driving. I'll stop when the road runs out.

I can't afford it till these loans are finished off and that might a be a year or so.


the best i did was

drove pretty much every road in Shetland. I really should get on a longer road trip than this.


Winning Players' Player of the Year

for Ware Youth Under 12s


going into a record shop

and seeing a copy of a compilation that i put together in the new releases section :)


her indoors

by a mile.


Serious Answer:

The birth of my daughter.

Really serious answer: Being present for Bontcho Guentchev's first Hendon goal. An overhead kick against Canvey Island past Brian Horne. A moment later immortalised in song by Saint Etienne.


:(


deflecting a Robert Carlos

shot with my hands


*Roberto


I can imagine Boab Carlos

the Glaswegian version of Roberto, weaving down Buchanan St, curving bottles into other guys heads, swigging a bottle of Maddog.


or attempting to curve

bottles into peoples heads but missing by 20 yards.


you have?

FINALLY ;)
did you get rid of witch woman instructor?


Yep!

My 7th attempt at passing and I managed it!
Yeah got rid of her ages ago. My new instructor was brilliant, really positive and had complete confidence in me which was ace. YAY DRIVING FUN! :D


told you!

now...ROAD TRIP!
...in america!
...to sunnydale!


Possibly my ex

Sort of gave me a confidence and a belief in myself that I didn't have before, and upped my self-esteem. Although we went out seperate ways after a while, I think she had quite a large impact on me.


Getting my flat

in London


winning players player of the year for endyke eagles under 16s

i didnt expect it and it was the proudest moment of my short life to date


.

sleeping in a cave at the top of a hill in the lake district aged about 15 and breaking down in joyful tears at how beautiful the earth is.

or rosana.


a five finger KitKat and a pint of

...lager in half pint glass.


Nothing.

Nothing whatsoever.


Moving from Australia to London

Best thing I ever did.


How refreshing to hear that

instead of the other way around!


dunno but I got bought tickets to Nasty Fest today!

maybe finding out I could do something well and finding what kinda jobs I wanted to do. I love working outside in the countryside and anywhere in that field. It was damn cool when I completed aqualification in it fter years of not having any idea of what to do with myself.


somehow convincing a label

to release three records by my old joke of a band. we lost him so much money. it was amazing.


1) Producing 2 beautiful healthy happy daughters

2) Holding down a job despite posting on here all the bloody time.

Gosh, there are too many things

One contender has to be Reading '07, by far the best five days of my life.

A particularly special moment was on Sat/Sun mid-afternoon some random guy stumbles over asking if we have any glue in an incredibly thick Scottish accent, thereafter sitting with us and proceeding to scream 'get your rat out' at every female passer by. He brought a beer bong, so my incredibly abrasive but amusing fat friend Charlie took the challenge. As we poured beers down the funnel, someone got a bottle of absinthe and proceeded to unload its contents down his throat.

He awoke a few hours later, topless, with the spam that was smeared across his face and body slowly bubbling away in the sun. Priceless.
