Cripes, Mate!

I walked to the train station last night through relatively heavy rain – I didn’t have an umbrella (didn’t realise it was raining when I left) but was wearing a waterproof coat. So I got on the train, and as I was standing in the aisle removing said (dripping) coat before I sat down, someone [...]

Outta Here

Once again, work’s a little flat out. So no decent posts from me til later in the week… if I don’t just sleep for the rest of it. Tempting, I tells ya!
MWAH. Take care, and don’t get into too much trouble. Coven trio, I’m looking at YOU!

The Things People Search For

When I titled a story ‘There’s an Alien Inside Me’, I wondered.
Then I thought, “Nah, surely not!”
Then I looked at my stats. And sure enough, people have found my fiction blog using the phrase “alien inside me“. What the hell? Is this a band or something? I do NOT want to search to try and [...]

Well DUH

Seen at a supermarket in Ipswich today:

50% OFF
That’s half price!

And I don’t think any of the shoppers around me knew what I was sniggering at.

Grouchy Bum

That’s me.
I’m over-tired, undernourished, and grouchy as all hell. Hubby went off to work carrying his head under his arm, after having it bitten off by yours truly.
I think I should go and sleep or something.

About all I have to offer instead is the latest instalment in my science-fiction-y story about a duplicitous [...]

Musical Monday

I do have more modern tastes – honest. But I seem to be struck with a nasty case of Aussie nostalgia lately. Oh well, such is life, right? So today I’m getting all misty-eyed over one of the great (in my HUMBLE opinion) Aussie pub bands – Cold Chisel. Except that only one of these [...]

Aussie Cardiac

I’ve been noticing a fair few people wandering into this blog after searching for information on heart surgery or cardiac rehab. Ye gads – I can’t imagine it being overly helpful, except for making sure people know that they can remain grouchy, feisty and wordy after open heart surgery… hmmm…
Anyhow, to help people out a [...]

Is ‘Cunt’ Such a Bad Word?

I’ve been wondering about this for a while now.
Why is it that a woman can quite happily call someone a ‘dick’, then blanch at the mere mention of ‘the c word’?
What the hell?
Dick = piece of male genitalia, often used as an insult against someone greatly disliked
Cunt = part of the female genitalia, often used [...]
