Business casual

Given that my role is mostly made up of internal meetings I make the most of the 'business casual' dress code at work and usually dress in a smart pair of slacks and a tweed jacket.

Sadly it backfired on me this week when I had to do an interview and decided to turn up in an expensive suit, a tailored shirt and a pair of luxury cufflinks.

I was accused of looking, and I quote, 'a lot less like a lumberjack than you normally do'!!!

Clearly my sense of fashion offends some people in my office!

Older

I must be getting old as today I voluntarilly went shopping for slippers. I found some too - quirky, hand made sheepskin ones that cost a fortune!

Your carriage awaits

I can't understand why a bloke gets on the next carriage along from me but then walks back down and sits on my carriage. Surely the best plan would be to get on my carriage in the first place and cut out the middle man?

The lines are drawn...

At the wedding of one of my bestest friends was a very attractive, if not alternatively turned out, lady who, at first sight, sported stockings with the line up the back of her legs.  On closer inspection (and actually it wasn't that close as I asked my wife to check just in case I was missing something), I realised that the lines were actually tatooes and she wasn't actually wearing any stockings!

Now, she looked great, but I can't help thinking that these lines could look a bit odd in a few years time when nature had taken its toll.

Who wants a 40 year old lady with wobbly stockings......oh OK maybe someone, somewhere...

Nice handywork

I received a voucher for an Indian Head Massage as a wedding present, and finally got round to organising it a few weeks back.  It was rather a pleasant experience, but I think I was a little tense throughout the massage as I wanted to make sure I didn't relax too much and fart uncontrollably.

The one thing that worried me was that afterwards I found out that the lady doing the massage also specialises in colonic irrigation.  I hope she washed her hands before she started on me.
