Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[Karabiner]

Word on the street...hero went off on his own, well a few school friends too. Off to an activity centre for three nights. We sure slept well. Zip wires, walls, caving, archery the works. He did everything. Proud.

He is also at the pushing the boundaries age. Has an answer for everything.

Had his 3 monthly check up this week. Mr Puntis, specialist, reckons best he has ever seen him. He continues to have daily drops of Vit A and E, plus monthly jabs A D and E.

Baby is doing very well. X

What a hero!

I can't tell you how pleased I am.

Great news that the little guy is finally living a normal life.

Lol. I'm hoping to keep it Boo.

I intended to keep the Honda C90 but having a go on a bike that was a bit more modern swayed me, plus, I have proper gears and a clutch now, so I can practice for my test.


I went to the shop on it today. Took her up to almost 60mph. It felt like 160.

Must get a top box. That hold-all is ruining my street-cred.

Looks a real tidy bike.

Loved those two videos with Kizzy despite her specsavers sheepdog haircut.

For some reason I have to watch u-tube vids on my phone as I get a less than clear picture with no volume on my old monitor, guess it's time for an upgrade.

I managed to cut my head off in the second video. I don't know whether that's good or bad...

If you do decide to upgrade Ralph, it might be worth considering a laptop.

There I am, reading a book or perhaps listening to Radio 4, generally minding my own business, as you do. Then, I hear or read a familiar phrase or saying once too often and BOOM! Suddenly it's no longer a familiar phrase, it's an irritating, overused, gets right up my nose phrase.

From that point on it will never pass my ears (or eyes if I'm reading) unnoticed. My brain will always flag it up and remind me to be annoyed by it.

"Springs to mind" is the first one that springs to mind. No one ever has a thought or an idea these days, nothing ever occurs to them, something always "Springs to mind.

Politicians never explain anything anymore, instead they are always "Absolutely clear".  AAGGGHHH!!!

Take these two examples away with you, add a few of you own. Set your senses to alert you every time they are trotted out until you reach the point where they are as obvious and offensive as a skid mark on a white satin bed sheet.

You won't benefit from this in the slightest, but at least I won't be suffering alone.

Oh cheers Ralph!

As if my list wasn't long enough already.

So...........

Why does every "expert" begin their response to a question with the word "so" ?

All things must pass, and Peggy Shitter's reign as Midlands cesspit supremo has come to an end. He is supplanted by a big, modern, hygienic, health and safety compliant firm who trade under the no-nonsense name of Serious Waste Management.

Obviously now in possession of Peggy's little brown address book and unaware of the fact that I had already availed myself of their services and stored their number in my phone, they rang me, touting for business.

Hello, who's that? (I already knew who it was).

Serious.

Who?

Serious.

You cannot be.

Pardon?

There was chalk dust, everyone saw it.

Is that Mr McCready?

You guys are the pits of the world man.
   
Could you hold on a moment please. (Long pause, followed by a new voice on the line).

I'm going to award a point against you Mr McCready...


Formalities over, we negotiated a price and arranged a date to empty my tank.

I have a feeling that Peggy's business is in good hands.

When a politician is irritated with a challenge on their previous answer/reply and they begin their response with

"look"

You'll notice it more often now
