Here hare here

Being someone who is deaf you sometimes have to think carefully about what you hear or think you have heard.

At London Bridge station today I heard the following announcement "contract cleaner to platform 13 to deal with spinnach".

I thought it must be a coded message about a bomb alert but on thinking through it I bet I mis-heard spinnach for spillage.

Hunger pangs

While my wife was away visiting relatives recently, I decided to try out the local topless takeaway restaurant. I wasn't feeling very hungry so I ordered cheese on toast....and I only got toast.

Lemon wet weather gear

Having decided to buy a new laptop, and more specifically, one of the ones which has a name which is a cross between a piece of fruit and a raincoat, I'm now pretty miffed that I can't seem to get one for love nor money.

I've tried two stores and they've both sold out. I then had a great idea of ordering online only for their website to reject my credit card, despite me having a credit limit bigger than the GDP of some developing countries.

Maybe they just don't want me to have one.

You can tell by the way I walk...

There's a bloke who walks past my house each day en route to the station. For some reason when I leave the house the same time as he walks by I find the need to enter a speed walking competition with him to see who gets there first. I walk on the left side of the lane and he walks on the right. I'm convinced he gets the best of the geography, as it's always him who gets to the station first.

It really doesn't worry me too much as I'm not sure it matters in the grand scheme of things.....but that said, it worries me enough to write about it......

PS - he wears a woolen (probably hand-knit) beanie, and in my opinion it doesn't go with his suit (cheap though it obviously is).
