Random burblings since 1999
The UK isn’t exactly the most ‘open’ society when it comes to matters surrounding… ahem… sex… but I would love to get a peek at the BBC News website referrer logs over the coming weeks after they’ve posted The new rules of sex.
Homosexuality, voyeurism, bestiality, necrophilia, indecent exposure and sex in a public place… on the BBC! Whatever is the world coming to… society is crumbling
Been here since 7.30 a.m.
Although it is good to get a change of schedule now and again, and it was fun on the train as I had new people to watch. Aren’t we a funny bunch, from the man picking his nose who only seemed to remember he was on a train when he removed his finger from his mouth (and yes I watched the whole thing in horrified “ohh he’s not really gonna….” mode), to the attractive lady sitting across the aisle from me who was definitely eyeing me up (until I realised that the sun was getting in her eyes so she had turned to get out of the sun, NOT to face me).
Ohh and to the lady with the dyed hair, don’t worry, we weren’t embarassed when your bag slipped off your shoulder halfway up the stairs on the way out of the station, well we were embarassed for you, as it’s contents tumbled back down the stairs, but honestly don’t worry about it, we’ve all seen Tampax before.
Difficult to describe this, and it affects Louise more than it affects me, but do you ever listen to some songs and just think… ohhh that’s raunchy…
Doesn’t have to be obvious, or overtly sexual in content, just something about it that makes you go… “Phwwwwoooaarrrr” ???
Or am I waffling again?
For the record: The White Stripes ‘Ball and Biscuit’ or PJ Harvey ‘This is Love’. The latter I can understand, the first one still has me baffled.
I can’t be bothered. Don’t worry this isn’t another “Ohhh it’s soo hard to think of things to say, and I’ve lost sight of … blah blah blah” diatribe. I’ve lost focus is all. Think I’m visiting too many sites or something, which is a good thing in some ways (especially when you are in the midst* of re-designing your own site), but leaves me wondering what to post… it’s about approach I think.
Another factor, I think, is my increased usage of MSN Messenger. Don’t get me wrong (before I insult virtually everyone on my Contact list) I love it when that little window pops up, but I just need to learn to switch it off more. Ohh that reminds me, if for some obscurely bizarre reason, you would like my MSN details, drop me a line.
* in the midst as in – have scribbled 307 different layouts on paper
In the slightest chance that anyone out there is looking to recruit a highly intelligent Web Producer (a title that doesn’t fully capture the range of his skills) then check out Tom Coates. I’d hire him in a second if I had my own company.
As usual I missed the thing everyone is talking about (here in the office, and in blog-land). Thankfully I can watch it tonight as the BBC have provided the whole thing in a Real Player stream.
However it does kinda limit my participation in any discussions about it, but from what I’ve read it certainly doesn’t seem beyond the bounds of reality. Even in my personal experience there is evidence of the ‘network’ reaching breaking point. I was stuck on a train for two hours a couple of weeks ago because the train in front of ours had broken down. I spent 4 years travelling daily on trains when I was at University some 9 -10 years ago and never once experienced a delay like that.
