Reinstated in honour of Darren's return. Temporarily stickied.
goodness. i do feel honoured!
Darren, how do I sit and listen to someone snoring horrendously less than ten feet away from me?
you know that urban myth, about how a person eats about six or seven spiders in their sleep during their lifetime? it doesn't
have to be an urban myth... they will soon learn, trust me.
and on the subject of urban myths, kind of: until a few months ago, i sat on a block of desks at work with donna and andy and vikki, and together we decided we would be known as the
rural legends, just because we liked the sound of it. we all thought it would be a damn shiny name for a rock band. unfortunately, since the most complex musical instrument any of us can perform is the comb and paper, this idea didn't go much further.
and only-slightly-related to this topic by way of my having mentioned my desk at work in the previous paragraph: around april or may this year, our office had a massive move-around. everyone moved. even the desks moved. (even the small table with the boiled sweets on it moved.) anyway, now i'm sat next to little nicky (not named so because she looks like adam sandler from the movie, but because her name is nicky and she is really thin). she looks like a young diana rigg. she won't let me take a photo of her and post it here, so you'll just have to take my word for it. when we're on the rota together to see customers at the counter, and there's a queue, i say "mrs peel, we're needed!"
but she's never seen the avengers so she just smiles at me like i'm a bit daft.
