Bad breath

Is there any reason for it?

That I understand - I have never had bad breath. Or at least no one has ever told me.

I replace my tooth brush every 3 months.

And brush my teeth twice daily, floss and use mouth wash.

I keep to 6 monthly check ups at the dentists.

But my friend seems to think it is acceptable not to go to the dentist. He waits until he has a tooth ache.

I think it must be 10 years since he last went!

I write this now because I think it is getting out of hand.

There is an aura of stink that follows him around.

I swear the room has filled with this stink also. I went out of the room and just come back in.

It smells.

What can I do?

Dont you hate it when they kick the back of your seat in the movies!

I went to see a movie recently.

What movie? That is irrelevant!

What is relevant was the little shite sitting directly behind me!

At one point I wanted to strangle him!

OK so it wasn't a constant bang, bang, bang, bang..

Because if it was - I would have lost control and lashed out. He would have got hurt. I would have got arrested.

..But it was more of an irregular bang, bang like he was tossing and turning during the film; trying to get comfortable / turning to talk to a friend / dropping things..

Regular in its irregularity..

Thinking about it - I have also had the same trouble on a flight as well as on buses and trains..

Maybe I attract these idiots?

I may have to say something next time.. - but what can I say?

Saying it 'pristine' when it wasnt!

I went to see a car last night.

The advert claimed that it was in 'pristine' condition.

I don't know about you, but to me the word 'pristine' means something is in great condition.
Maybe even better than great. Perhaps showroom condition?!

At worse case scenario I expected great condition..

The pictures from 10 feet looked good anyway so I planned the viewing..

Well I was disappointed.

Not only for the travel time it took for me to view the car.
But that I gave a friend some cash for fuel..
And I now owe him a favour!

The car was not 'pristine'

The car wasn't even in 'great' condition!

It was barely average condition..

I let the seller know this fact and that I wasn't happy with his description..

I pointed out several deep scratches / scuffs and rust patches!

What an idiot!

Another summer of false promises at Arsenal?

Now this is the headline from 'The Sun'

I'm not sure who I am more pissed off at yet?

Am I more pissed off at 'The Sun' for printing such a thing? As I don't want to read such a thing!

I want to believe that this is the summer for Arsenal. That this is the summer of top signings. so that we can once again be champions... of something! ....Anything! I will even take the league cup!
Yes I am that desperate for Arsenal to win silverware that I will accept the league cup..

Or is it that I am more pissed off with Arsenal.

Dear Arsenal
I love you
But please no more bullshit and spend some money! We; the supporters need to see some action!
...Soon!

Here is the full story.

MY VIEW
By MARK IRWIN
Football correspondent

 

 

 

WHEN I woke up in my Japanese hotel this morning there were three text messages from Arsenal fans on my phone.

Two were asking for news of any possible signings, the other was already calling for the heads of Arsene Wenger and Ivan Gazidis.
And so it begins. The annual Emirates tap-dance. In which the club promises the earth then delivers Andre Santos and Maraoune Chamakh.
We have been here so many times before that even the most optimistic Gunners fans have stopped allowing their hopes to be raised.
Except this time it feels somehow different. A line has been crossed and Wenger will no longer be allowed to backtrack.
He has promised stellar signings this summer and he has to deliver them. If he breaks his word again, no-one will trust Arsene.
Travelling with the club these past two weeks on their pre-season tour of the Far East, it is evident that it is not just the supporters demanding proper, big-name buys.
Everyone within the club is also convinced that Wenger is about to break the habits of a lifetime and spend some money as though it is not coming out of his own pocket.
Even the players are asking what we have heard. They are every bit as eager for an injection of new blood.
All these expectations have been raised by an interview which chief executive Gazidis gave last month, when he spoke of the club’s new ‘financial firepower’ and their ability to compete for the very best players in the world.
Many believe his words were deliberately chosen to apply some pressure to the cautious Wenger.
It is why Arsenal have been heavily linked with the likes of Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney and Gonzalo Higuain in recent weeks.
But there is only so many times that we can write ‘Arsenal are set to make a new bid for Suarez’ before a sceptical public switch off.
For if Arsenal were serious about buying the Liverpool striker, they would have gone straight in with an offer which Brendan Rodgers could not refuse rather than submitting a bid which they knew was certain to be rejected.
Now it appears Wenger is relying on Suarez throwing his toys out of the pram and forcing his way through the Anfield exit. Though whether he could be any more objectionable is open to debate.
Wenger is certainly not giving anything away right now. He refuses to discuss any potential targets and seemed to take great delight in knocking down reports that he was about to sign Brazilian midfielder Bernard the other day.
Gazidis, too, has gone strangely quiet in recent days. We keep hearing rumours that he is flying back to London to seal this or that deal, but he is still out here in Japan and feels he has already said more than enough.
It is a good job for him that Manchester United have also failed to land any of their big-time targets so far this summer while Chelsea have yet to prise Rooney from Old Trafford.
And maybe Arsenal will yet surprise us all by unveiling a new superstar in the next few days.
But I wouldn’t hold your breath if I were you.
A week on Saturday, Arsenal face Napoli in the Emirates Cup. If Yaya Sonogo is the only new face on show for the Gunners, expect fireworks.
Wenger is already into the final year of his £7.5million-a-year contract and has stretched the supporters’ loyalty to its limit.
A storm is brewing and Wenger had better get his brolly out.

Royal baby expected!

Is it big news or no? I am unsure.. 50/50 if you will..

Reading the papers and listening to the radio today it seems the only topic worth talking about is the impending birth of our future King or Queen.

I guess it is big news so some?

And not so much to others..

I am not to fussed to be honest.. I guess i am somewhere in the middle.

I dont agree with people slating the story though - I just unfollowed a couple of these Anti-Royalist types on twitter because of what there opinion on it was..

I will give my guess on sex and name though.

I definitely think it will be a girl..

And perhaps called Elizabeth Diana Windsor..

Lets see..

There are now no winnners at sports day??

What does this teach children?

That winning does not matter? Everyone is equal?

The fact is we are not all equal!

Some can run faster than others - so let them race and win!

Some can jump higher than others - so let them jump and win!

Some can throw further than others - so let them throw and win!

Not allowing children to push themselves to win at sports days will trickle down to everything else in life.

Why try hard in your exams? We are all equal?

Why try hard at getting a better job? We are all equal?

We are not all equal.

Some things we are better than others at.

Some things others are better than us.

Bring back Sports day.

She used my towel to dry her feet!

We were in a rush this morning.

She spends an age doing her make-up so I tell her to get into the shower first..

I tell her to leave the shower running which she remembers this time.

I run in after her and have my shower. It was a nice hot one.

Then as I reached for my towel in my normal towel resting place I just grabbed at air!

I looked down and she had used it to dry her feet and mop up the water that had spilled onto the floor!

I shouted out and called her some names... Plus shouting for a new towel..

Guess what - her hair dryer overpowered my screams and I was left to drip dry.

I used an old flannel to dry myself!

Not happy!


Are all waiters idiots?

I went to the local Harvester restaurant - I know. Very posh.

On arrival, my missus and I stood at the sign saying 'Please queue here to be seated'

Pretty simple right.

A waiter notices us waiting at the sign.

He wanders over casually and ask 'Would you like a table?'

I smiled and said 'Yes please'

Inside my head I said 'No, not at all. I came here to eat on the floor. Carpet for 5 please!!'

The idiot.

Dont ask!

I know someone that whenever asked how he is doing replies with - DONT ASK!

..before proceeding to advise how bad his day is going and how busy he is etc etc blah blah.

The person asking normally gives a chuckle?!

Trust me they wouldn't be laughing if you hear it some 20 time a day!

The idiot.




When the bin men dont turn up

My local authority are generally good in my opinion.

But when I get myself up at the crack of dawn to take the bins out and they don't turn up I get angry!

They can come anywhere between 7am and 11am.

Of course this means I get up extra early bin day and get the bins out before 7am.

Its annoying when they don't come until 11am on the odd occasion, but I will suffer that.

Its just that recently they haven't been turning up at all! And then coming the following day...

We don't like to leave the bins out over night as the bags get attacked by Cats and Foxes etc!

Anyway - Perhaps a lame rant.

I hate bin men.

The idiots.
