Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

Keith, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8035168.stm

Someone I know had the job of making sure strippers/lap dancers nipples were erect before they left their changing room.

That beats a bit of swimming imo.

£6/hr, it's not much but it was all he could afford....

Great shout on this Kev.  The wardrobe, the food, the girls...

The last three books I read were a Holocaust survivors story, a heroin addicts story, and the adventures of a bloke who bought a second hand camper van and drove it around the world.

Red, can I recommend 'Wasted' by Mark Johnson please.  It is an amazing autobiography written by a lad I know.  Where he fell to, and who he is today is an inspirational story for anyone who ever thinks things have turned bad.  The fact he is alive alone is almost unbelievable.

Fave comfort food:  Prawn Cocktail Seabrooks Crisps

No crisps do flavour like Seabrook.  Two packes of S&V are a challenge for most - I can do three.

Dream Job: Games Developer / Professional Poker Player / Police radio controller (?)

Has just helped me remember my other dream job, which I don't know how I missed first time.  Traffic Cop - not like off of Chips though.  Red looks like he would be more suited to that role.  I'd just get an immense sense of pleasure from bollocking bad drivers all day and wouldpull them for allsorts of traffic violations.

And, whilst I am it Announcer on Tv shows - mainly X-Factor type shows 'Raaaaachel -e-d-jae' one of my favourite names to announce whilst sat on the setee at home.  Or voiceover man for film trailers - 'He was a cop, on the run, he had committed the ultimate sin, he betrayed the brothers he worked alongside...'  you know the voice.

Of course you can. Thank you. I'll look it up on Amazon.

If anyone else would like to recommend non fiction books that they have enjoyed they would  be most welcome.

No spoilers though please.

Reason for alias: I used to have a (good) habit, when liking something of starting sentences (for eg) "awwwww I have just seen the BEST {insert anything} in the world....ever. Similarly when describing events which were unusual, I had a habit of saying "thats outraaaaageous!", even thou it perhaps wasnt really so. My friends picked upon this and took the mickey - alot!. The reason for the spelling mistake is tilting. When I went to sign up with Stars, the name I wanted was "outraaaaageous"  which was apparently "taken" (yes yes of course it was). So I started deleting, and mid delete thought, just throw you birth year on the end, and in my haste mis-spelt it! I then decided to go with the error

Age: 36

Occupation: Chartered Building Surveyor and expert Loss Adjuster of Highways claims

Location: Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, so good they named it thrice

Dream Job:  Problem solver. This is a job Ive made up, but I think I am very good at problem solving (practical things). So I basically consult to, for eg, an R&D team somewhere, they tell me what they are doing and what they are  needing to do, I absorb all the information and go back wiht ideas. However I would be a problem solver for anything. So literally Ferrari have a problem, they call the problem solver, I fly in, we have a meeting for a day, and then I go back with what they need to do! Id love this job!

Person you would be reincarnated as: Im not sure if this means living or dead. Infact Im not sure ive ever even thought about this. Actually being someone else seems weird, ill have to pass.

Fave comfort food: toast (prefereably a big thick crust)

Imaginary super power: Teleporting - I love the idea of being able to go somewhere "now!", usually to be with other people like friends/family etc.

Our boys have dodgy tummies with almost a week now.    After the first few days of it, I kept them off all food for about 36 hours.  Since the fast, they've been getting chicken and rice in small amounts a few times a day.  Two days later, their bellies are still dodgy.  Is there any over the counter remedy for dogs to sort this?  How long to you stick it out before taking them to the vet?  

They're in great form otherwise.  Typical bubbly labs getting up to no good every time my back is turned.

Just asking.

If you were to open a new bra and lingerie shop devoted to the more 'developed' women of the world...what would you call it?

Been thinking about this since last night (yeah yeah too much time)

Got two

"Bannna Hammocks & Boulder Holders"

Or

"Large Cups & Undies-irables"

playing in the background on rinse repeat would be this

Yeah...knew I was going to struggle asking a mainly male crowd.  Someone else suggested 'Jugglers'.  Sounds more like a strip club or men's magazine ffs!  Need a name that will draw women (aka customers) to the shop. 

[AndrewT]

If it's a shop which sells garments to keep unruly breasts under control then how about:

Hush, Puppies
