    Lazy post – have an old B3ta QOTW reply:

    Some people shouldn’t be allowed to teach This was recalled by someone much earlier telling tales of scientists doing stupid things. For my sins, I am a science teacher in what would be politely referred to as a ‘Comprehensive’ school. Seeing as we’re in the near-vicinity of several grammar schools, we are in fact more of a bottom-feeder. Needless to say, any illusions I once possessed of being a cross between Mr Chips and Robin Williams in Dead Poet’s Society have been crushed under the sheer weight of imbecility I have to deal with while attempting to be inspirational. Most […]

    B3ta QOTW entry…and THIS has to win it:

    Beating on the Booming Drum of Self Congratulation It was a warm, liquid afternoon in summer, showing Bournemouth off at its best. Happy people wandered the beach-front shops, bikini-pretty and giggly – and that was just the guys. I, however, lurched along the pavement like a zombie with one of those nasty little rattling Boots carrier bags: bed-hair, bleary, snotty and a doubtless smelly young man. And in front of me was one of Those Blokes. You know, one of Those Blokes. Stocky, short type with gorilla-hairy arms. Always over-tanned. Dark hair combed back so hard its got furrows and […]

    Been such a busy morning…

    I was in early, and have only just stopped (no, really). Sitting here with a coffee, I decided to check out some old QOTW answers on B3ta (I WILL get you all over to the ‘dark side’ at some point)…came across this corker: Pearoast: chav vs window So we’d just had a nice Sunday lunch at my Mum and Dad’s and my girlfriend and I set off home. With the girlfriend driving we made our way down the street my folks live on. It is about a minutes drive to a T junction at the end. About half way down […]

    Lazy post – 'cos I'm so busy…

    It’s Thursday – and that means a new QOTW on B3ta.com 🙂 This week it’s all about flirting – very funny stuff there…and I’ve picked up some tips 😉 for example: Don’t try this at home – it’s better in a pub, but still don’t When I was 18 I frequented Nottingham Rock City. For those of you unfamiliar you’ll quickly find that sex in the toilets is not so much a daring act of rebellion as part of the T&C of entry. Whereas in most of the country, the act of mating involves buying someone a drink followed by […]

    I know, but it’s a slow week (I was SUPPOSED to have the week off but had to goto Bristol). Anyway, last week’s QOTW was a cracker 🙂 and the new one has just came out: ‘IT Support’. This has the regulars in 2 camps – the IT geeks who’re rubbing their hands together and typing like maniacs, and the non-IT bods, who’re moaning like the non-IT bods they are… Of course, the “Did you try turning it off and ono again?” story has already been done to death, but I have some corkers ready to enter… The whole thing […]

    Eeew…just eeew…

    Quiet moment at work, so I’m re-reading some of B3ta’s QOTW answers. Then I came across this one: A long, long time ago I was living and working in London. Whilst visiting some friends from home we used to regularly wonder about the mysterious moving duvet that lived in my friends squalid but sunny squat. Every day when she would leave the house her duvet was on her bed but every night she got home it had moved half way across the floor. All rational explanations for this were ruled out. It being a rather temporary squat for young Irish […]

    b3ta.com

    Oh what a site that is… If you’ve not already taken a look, go do it now – I’ve been a member now for some 3 months and it NEVER fails to make me giggle uncontrollably over the QOTW (I’ve even managed to add a few of my stories…). Anyhoo, one of the members decided to host a ‘B3ta.com Hot or Not‘ competition, so being the shy guy that I am, I decided to enter too…and then post the pic and link on my web page (can I hear y’all say ‘tart’?). The thing I’m impressed with though is out […]
