How is the new jobby going Mr Faceless? So far so good. My new boss said I was proactive. I started laughing as I assumed he was being sarcastic. Turns out he wasn't. Only awkward moment so far was 5 minutes into my first day when I noticed the woman showing me round had a Spurs tattoo. I mentioned I support them as well, which resulted in her bellowing out "Y-word aaaaarrrmmmaaaay" in a really quiet office. She was then taken off for a quiet word. |

Most generic posh-sounding Southerner? I reckon I'd be a contender

You call zis an accent? ZIS IS AN ACCENT!!!
I've had feedback from students who complained that they "couldn't understand the French lady". I promised toning down my French accent considerably after that.

Now I'm worried the RAC man thinks I'm posh.
I'm even more worried by the fact that I've broken down and am unlikely to make it to Brum for the match.

Mrs Zord went upstairs because our chat was interrupting her watching Scorpion. My argument that we were doing her a favour by talking over its trite clichéd dialogue, ridiculous storylines and poor excuse for acting didn't go down well. |

Afternoon all.
I've always assumed you're all incomprehensible northern-speakers,, but then if you go any further south from where I live, your feet would get wet.
Very nice out today. Might give the car a wash, once I've made some cheese straws.
And (unrelated) cleaned out the litter tray.
And cleaned up the bit where one of the little darlings missed.

Turkey and mushroom Quesidillas with broccoli on the side. The broccoli obviously cancels out all the cheese.

I never had any accent until I lived outside Birmingham.
Until then I just talked like what everybody else did.

Afternoon,
Babysitting - niece and nephew are both asleep, they're just about 2 and under 1 respectively.
I've never been so tired.

Didn't Shenguin have similar problems getting to the match last week? I suppose there are worse ways to spend your Saturdays than LARPing John Cleese in Clockwise. |

It was two weeks ago. But yes. My travel plans are generally about as solid as Gianfranco Zola's defensive tactics.
Today I had actually left in plenty of time, taken some water and food (currently in my car at the garage), and checked the traffic in advance to ensure nothing could go wrong.
It was more Faulty Towers beating the car with a tree today.

Afternoon all. I have spent a depressingly long time taking a motherboard out and putting a new one in. Still haven't put all the new cables in, I expect it will all blow up anyway.
It was nice playing Fortnite with you guys, I am afraid I was badly out of form in squad mode, and could not make my mind up
who to attack in a battle.
In have been allowed to choose between watching Deadpool 2 and the Han Solo movie later. Not much of a choice really.
Also, I thought Shenguin sounded a bit like Josh Widdicombe.
