What begins as a joke with some unsavory character at The Embers* turns into a three-year contract at White Clinic** which leads to one bad night with an ambassador from Jordan and a frenzied attack with a hotel ballpoint pen and a cleanup job that turns out to be way more complicated than anyone predicted. And of course Feddema Global, cleanup expert and important business associate...

Tumblarity is a fickle mistress
Not to mention cold right now.
Am I whining? Nope, stiff upper lip I tell you. I’m just going to reblog everything on my dashboard now to fix this thing.
Pffffft
indefensible:
Someone has pointed out to me that stuffmygirlfriendsays.com is reminiscent of thingsmyboyfriendsays.com, and hey, it is.
Oddly I first found out about that site because a friend emailed Erin and asked her if that was her blog, and was she keeping track of stupid shit I say? No, it wasn’t, but when I found out, I sent the link to the blogger site to that friend, who thought it was...

Eddie's Banknotes
Don’t worry, I found it! Well, not the video clip but a description from Wikipedia of Eddie’s banknotes:
£5 - The Queen naked, with her breasts on display
£50 - Similar to the above, but much more explicit
£10 - The Duke of Edinburgh in a threesome with Meryl Streep and Bobby Charlton
£27 - Sylvester Stallone fisting Mr. McHenry from The Magic Roundabout
KR137,000 - Dick Emery in...

Still got slave-owners on yours?
I thought it was Dame Edna.
This is about to get ugly.
Oh gawd, I hope this gets ugly.
No, Dame Edna is funny. That’s how you can tell them apart.
Can someone dig up a clip from the Bottom episode where Eddie Hitler is forging money and one of the bigger notes features the Duke of Edinburgh...

Ross’ Dad: Should we have a beer before we go out to dinner?

Is it wrong that the little voice in my head read this dialog with an Australian accent?
Oh, God, I was going to reblog this in roughly the same way but thought I’d come across as freaky. Luckily Ron doesn’t come across as freaky and also proves...

So this guy moves into a new house.
cleversimon:
Beautiful place: high ceilings, lots of light, great kitchen. He spends the day unpacking and is looking forward to a restful night’s sleep in his new bedroom. But as soon as he gets settled in, he can’t help but hear music coming from outside. At first he thinks it’s his neighbours, but it’s coming from the side where there’s nothing but open fields. He’s really tired, though, so...
