It’s only April, and 2016 has already cruelly taken away so many talented and influential people: David Bowie, Ronnie Corbett, Alan Rickman, Prince, Harper Lee and Glenn Frey to name but a few, but the news that made me most sad was the passing of Victoria Wood. Continue reading

Dear Diary… Dentapocalypse
I’ve just started watching the walking dead, 6 years late, I know. It is a great show, season 1 has been very enjoyable but something has been bugging me.
There’s been a zombie apocalypse and yet everyone still has great teeth. I’m not sure how long they’ve been surviving and whatnot but surely they’re not galavanting off away from these zombies whilst observing a sufficient dental hygiene routine. Do they have floss in a zombie apocalypse? There’s been no mention so far of anyone brushing their teeth and there certainly isn’t a dentist among the band of merry survivors.
I suppose they’re all actors.
It is a good show though.
Dear Diary… Bedsheets
I am a great advocate of breakfast in bed. The sad part is that I have to prepare it for myself, then go back to bed and serve it to myself. I’m not a messy eater, but sometimes I spill things. There was jam in my bed today. I had to change my bedsheets. It’s hard being an adult.
Dear Diary… Space Sex
Has anyone ever had sex in space? It must get lonely up there on the international space station, what with all the space and whatnot. They could start a ‘light-year high’ club. One small thrust for man…
Dear Diary… Big Darts Theory
I was watching the big bang theory earlier, and I noticed that there’s a dartboard on the back of the front door in Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment. This is odd because I’m sure they don’t use it at all during the show, nor is there any mention of it. I quite like darts, but maybe theoretical physicists don’t tend to take it up as a hobby, even though they have the facilities available. Maybe we should thank them for not playing though, I don’t imagine Penny would appreciate a dart in the eye.
Dear Diary… Lemons
I saw a poster today that said “When life gives you lemons, squeeze them in someone’s eye.” Personally, I don’t think this behaviour is conducive to solving our socio-economic issues, taking your problems and squeezing them into the eyes of thy neighbour. Cameron’s Britain. And if anything, life is a concept, and probably has no actual way of bestowing citrus fruit on anyone.
Also, does this interfere with the mantra of “Keep Calm and Carry On”? If I’m to receive lemons, should I still remain calm or would this be the time to panic? Can I possibly carry on if my eyes have been assaulted with someone else’s lemons?
What happened to making lemonade and selling it for 50 cents on your driveway? You’ve changed.
