(no subject)

I have almost no voice whatsoever - and I talk for a living. Well no, that sounds much more impressive than it is - I talk near people for a living. At people? However you classify it, today I have been croaking. Thankfully the hour and a half interview subject didn't turn up, and I've been doing a lot of three-ways today which allow others to do the work, but even so. It's not attractive.

It has garnered me a lot of sympathy however, and as I don't actually (touch wood) feel ill, I suppose I can't complain.

I took my 1974 Playboy magazine to work today (for colleague amusement, not offender!) - Those I showed all commented on the advertisements first (I'm gonna scan a couple tomorrow), then the "This is an historical document I'm looking at honest, gosh this is quite sexist isn't, what are there women in here?" pretence duly satisfied, all went on to comment (without exception) on a) Isn't it tame, normal Lads Mags show worse thant his nowadays. B) Look at the size of their Lady Gardens and c) Collars and cuffs don't match!

It was quite educational.

I bought several vintage magazines, one of which was the Playboy - I don't believe it was a particularly good year. I selected the one I purchased as it said on the eBay page that there was a 7 page Tony Curtis article/pictorial, So i believed (knowing that all men said they read playboy for the articles) that there would be, you know, words, from Tony Curtis. - What it had was 7 pages of some bare naked lady, with two TINY stills of her standing next to Tony C is some movie or other. I feel I was misinformed - but as the mag is so amusing I forgave them (plus I am still waiting for several others to be delivered and don't want to antagonise anyone!)

The Gin people sent me gin today!

A Gin club! ooh that would be good - no it was actually almost better than that - Gordon's, sent me random Gin. Only a little, just enough for one, but just out of the blue. It was very nice of them.

I used to drink Gin and Blackcurrant - it is very sweet and sticky, makes one's tongue purple and sweet.

guilt trip!

I am online late because I am slowly becoming nocturnal - just damned workness gets in the way of converting completely! Also because I am an exotic flighty nightbird - or because I can't sleep very well. Perm any three. Or some such thing.

I am also on line early sometimes too.

I am online most times actually.

Last night I played games with people who drank muchly, and I had my car and drank coke. This was distinctly unfair.

I won the games though (they said I had an unfair advantage)

I have to go to bed, because I have to go to a conference tomorrow and be conferencey. s long as I don't talk. Plus my heating is on a timer and has run out and I'm cold.

So there!

I believe it is often referred to as talking 'to' people, although I may be wrong. NO MORE CROAKING. Clearly you are just slacking in your talking duties. I for one would instantly reoffend if I was croaked to. CONSIDER THIS. LA.

I appreciate your warm hearted support, and apologise for the crime wave I have just implemented.

I advise you to lock up your daughters and any valuable valuables you may have, because today I intend to croak some more.

I plan to become a new evil!criminal!mastermind! just with the power of my croak!

You have uncovered my dread plan but are POWERLESS! to stop me.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
