The Last....

I have nothing of interest to say, I understand thats never stopped me before, but for some reason I feel the urge to post something here........ and I need an alternative to the grinding tedium of enforced labour I'm currently experiencing.

The most interesting thing I have to do today is have the tires on my evil Ford Fiesta balanced.... Not even the Buggles "Living in the plastic age" can bring my outta this tedious mood. Anyhow, to try and get some human response (even if it is virtual) I've concocted a LIST of "The Last.."...

Rules are simple, there arnt any. But if you're the type that needs some sort of structure then this should help.

Copy the list below, add your name at the top, delete any previous responses then post back here so we can all attempt to deduce your bank account details, social security number and whether or not you need professional help.

Here goes....

I cant believe that living with John your last passionate kiss was 2 years ago! And surely there's at least little love involved with it all?

The bolt in the head, have you checked it has been removed? I take it that bolt was part of the saga between you and that fella which included that fight where you lumped him before he got his jumper off. A moment of genius I might add.

Do you actually know what this fella's beef was with you? I remember in 'those days' kids just wanted to someone to pick on and it often seemed to be me.

Dont think I can do one of these lists as it will make me feel worse!!

Delmonti said...

Paul Robinson. No idea. I think it was just what kids did then.

Kiss: John just wants cash in exchange.

Chux: Get off ya big fat arse and get typing

OK - you've got me! Here goes...

My Name is Pete, and I'm a blogger and I'm male

The Last.....

Person you punched:

Phil Finch - a guy in my office; about 10 minutes ago! He told me that the new piece of software I'd just distributed didn't work, but I proved it did and then punched him (lightly) on the arm when he realised he'd used the wrong password because he hadn't read my email properly. And he's in PC support...!!

Haircut, how much was it?

Saturday afternoon. £8.50. No tip. Why should I? I'm paying for the bloody haircut, aren't I?

Time you thought you were gonna die:

Age 16. Cycling to Chertsey station with my mate Sean, to catch the train to college in Egham. While we were going along, I got too close to his bike; the brake lever of my bike got caught on his pannier and as he drew away from me my handlebars twisted, depositing me on the road. An 18-wheeler artic lorry missed my head by about 3 inches. I laid on the ground and looked up just as a nun (from the adjacent Catholic school) arrived on the scene to check I was OK. My fist thought was that I was in heaven and our baptist minister had got it wrong!

Holiday:

A long weekend in Dorset for our honeymoon in June.

Flowers you sent/received:

Sent - Errr... Can't remember! That's very bad!

Received - My sister sent us a lovely orchid when we moved into our house in March.

Album/single/song you bought (and how, store, download, bribe?):

Either the new Cherry Ghost CD which I ordered from Amazon, but which hasn't arrived yet, or a George Melly compilation which I got in HMV last week.

Paid job you had:

The only thing I've been paid for over the last 20 years is being an Oracle DBA. Which is a bit sad.

A can of Boddingtons. On Sunday afternoon.

Bowel movement:

This morning (I really can't believe this question) while reading the new edition of "Inside United" magazine.

Kiss
Romantic: This morning, half asleep, as My Lovely Wife left for work.

Stitch (either cosmetic, accident, or self prescribed (like Rambo)):

Never had a stitch, nor a plaster cast.

Time you cheated on a loved one:
A few years ago, when I was between wives, I was seeing a, erm, person who was a bit psycho. I wouldn't be surprised if she was seeing other people, so I didn't restrict myself either.

Lie you told your boss:

"Yes, of course I've got plenty of work to be getting on with".

Time you felt that initial "I'm in love!" feeling:

About 4 years ago, with regular top-ups since.

Pair of shoes you bought:

Yesterday. Green canvas deck shoes from Next. £7 in the sales. Bargain!

Delmonti said...

pt: deck shoes? is that something to do with Powerpoint?

petercmoore said...

Deck shoes are like Ant shoes.

You can tell which is which 'cos Ant is on the left and deck is on the right.

Delmonti said...

Do you think Dick and Dom have a range of footwear?

petercmoore said...

Or a range of contraceptives? Not called condoms, but DickDoms!

Delmonti said...

If I had loads of readers I'd ban you for those last two comments

Nobody has ever sent you FLOWERS? What is wrong with the women in your country (no offense to any of the women in your country...but jeez!)

jomoore said...

My Name is Jo, and I'm a blogger and I'm female

The Last.....

Person you punched:

I've never punched anybody ever. Except in dreams. Something to do with repression.

Haircut, how much was it?

About three weeks ago. £15. No tip because I didn't have any cash, so I'll make up for it next time.

Time you thought you were gonna die:

On the way home from Glastonbury - June 1995. Our car engine had blown up when we arrived at the festival, so we had to get home in a tow truck, along with another couple of people. It was about 3am and everyone else was asleep - including the driver at some points in the journey. I had to stay awake to talk to him, but he definitely nodded off now and again and we came dangerously close to leaving the motorway.

Holiday:

Pembrokeshire last week.

Flowers you sent/received:

Sent - I sent a lovely orchid to my brother and sister-in-law when they moved into their house in March.

Received - a couple of years ago from a work colleague as a thank you. I buy my own these days...

Platonic: Saturday - my Mum

Stitch (either cosmetic, accident, or self prescribed (like Rambo)):

Childbirth. 11 years ago. Enough said.

Time you cheated on a loved one:
Never. But I've known lots of cheats...

Lie you told your boss:

I don't need to lie to my current boss, so the last time I did was quite a while ago and was probably "I won't be in today because I'm not well".

Time you felt that initial "I'm in love!" feeling:

So, so long ago that thinking about it makes me sad.

Pair of shoes you bought:

Beautiful bright red sandals from eBay a couple of weeks ago. I haven't worn them yet because I have to paint my toenails a matching colour. It's so complicated being a girl!

The Last.....

person you punched.
Kevin Allsopp when aged about 14. I once swung for my sister-in-law but I was so drunk I missed, something I have regretted ever since.

haircut, how much was it
My sister-in-law (not the same one I swung for I hasten to add) is a rather excellent hairdresser and I have therefore not paid for a haircut for longer than I care to remember.

time you thought you were gonna die
On a plane flying out of JFK when the entire cabin crew started running to the back of the plane screaming something akin to "oh shit!" a smoke billowed from the air con system.
