1. The word “thoughts”. It’s like the word “though” but with a ‘t’ on the end. Though..ts. English language is strange.
2. There are several songs I can’t enjoy anymore, or ever enjoyed. This is mainly due to their overuse at parties, socials, formals, etc. Here is a short list of the songs I don’t like, and why I don’t like them.
- “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” – The Proclaimers. Typical song to play in a pub, with everyone drunkenly shouting “I WOULD WALK 500 MILES AND I WOULD WALK 500 MORE” and then the “da da da (da da da) da da da (da da da) Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da”. Painful.
- “Grease Megamix” – Joe Masciantonio. I want to shoot myself when everyone in the room screams this at the top of their lungs. (I’ve edited the video so it’s only a few seconds long, isolating the most annoying part)
- “The Time Warp” - The Rocky Horror Show. I’m not sure what it is, but people just have the urge to scream as loud as they can in their falsetto voice. I think it’s hilarious. <sarcasm>
- “Nutbush City Limits” – Tina Turner. I don’t have much against this song, it’s just overused, and the dance is ridiculously repetitive.
3. I wonder if I’d make a lot of money standing outside loud night clubs and selling small earplugs for 50 cents.
4. I wonder if people who look after their lawns hate their neighbours that don’t look after theirs.
5. I like when people on the internet insult someone by saying “nice grammer” and they spell “grammar” wrong.
6. Why haven’t they created cars which have windows that become fully tinted when the keys aren’t in the ignition and the doors are locked. Surely this would help keep the cars more cool on hot days. You can also turn the tinting off if you want to see outside.
7. Why haven’t they created something to put on your windscreen which you can move around and place over the sun when it’s in your eyes. Car sun visors don’t help if the sun is setting.
8. I can’t manage to do the dishes without doing something stupid which leaves me soaking wet. I’ll hold a spoon under the tap and the water will spray on me. I’ll push the scrubbing brush too hard into a glass and water will squirt out on me. I hate doing the dishes.
9. Fifi Box is not funny.
10. The Big Bang Theory is not funny. And no, it’s not because “I don’t understand the jokes”.
11. I’m guessing I probably won’t go see Bride Wars.
12. Why is my signature different every time?
13. I enjoy going the speed limit in the fast lane. The people behind me get so angry and I just smile. I wonder if they’re thinking, “STOP GOING THE SPEED LIMIT! I WANT TO SPEED!”
14. My legs are pretty much healed up as best they can. Here they are, in a GIF. (This took ages to make by the way. Stupid Macs.)
15. This song is pretty mental.
That’s it for a while! Sorry for taking so long. Been busy moving into my new place. xoxoxox
Solid blog, Murray. Your legs look like they’ve sealed (sic) up nicely. Those songs make me angry too.
Thanks Hooly. Glad you enjoyed my ramblings. See you tonight for some warmings (sic) of my house.
Does this mean that I, too, should resume blogging?
Re: #10. I recently re-subjected myself to those two episodes of The Big Bang Theory that we downloaded (I wanted to listen to something while I was working). Imagine my surprise when they turned out to be just as unfunny the second time around.
I suppose in a few years’ time Sheldon will elicit a laugh or two when he’s washed-up, out-of-work and gets arrested for holding up a liquor store.
Hahahah! I was actually worried that you’d say you found them funny. I watched a clip today with Sheldon trying to make a joke about teleporting. I understood every single word he said, and I didn’t laugh, mainly because I DID understand what he was going on about. I can see how people that don’t understand it would laugh. “Hahaha, he’s so cute and charming and nerdy. I don’t know what he’s talking about. LOL!” Anyway, painful.
I’ll admit I like that Proclaimers song. I also own the movie “Grease”, but I agree that song is obnoxious. Especially when people sing along. That’s how I feel about “Sweet Home Alabama”. I lose a little respect for those people who know all the words. It’s like the anthem for white trash rednecks.
Robin, why don’t you use Mr. Bubble to wash the dishes? It’ll make it more fun, like giving your fingers a bubble bath.
Only two Simpson’s references? I must be losing my perspecacity!
I’m so sick of checking peoples blogs to find nothing new. I’m glad that today, when I checked your blog, I found something new. Well done.
In addition to the fact that it was new, I enjoyed your post on it’s own merits. It’s 43 degrees in Melbourne today.
I lolled at the dishwashing thing, because that happens to me too. I think I splash water on myself because I’m in a hurry, so I rush through it. I do it at Gold Class too. Then I have to deal with patrons with a sopping apron. Oh well.
I tried to incorporate “…fully (sic)” somehow into my thesis, but I couldn’t.
Love.
PS- Next year we’ll busk, cause I’ll be more organised with the permits.
And Suz, if you are going to use a big word that I have to look up what it means to see what it means, at least have the decency to spell it correctly, so as it takes me slightly less long. That goes for anyone too.
Also, I confuse myself. Because I think, when I want to speed, that it’s illegal to be in the right hand lane if you’re not over-taking (let’s just say the person in front of me is not overtaking) but it’s also illegal for me to speed. So then I explooooooode!!!
Ha! Dilemma.

This will happen. The technology already exists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_glass
And the Kate Bush film clip looks exactly like I imagine it would!! Bonkers!
Kate Bush IS bonkers.
Shayne and I affectionately refer to her as Kate’s Bush.
Highly inappropriate, but funny nonetheless.
Somebody left a cake out in the rain!
Oh No!!!
I love it that if you look up I Love Ya Baby, the first link is Robin.
I’d love to see Kate Bush do MacArthur Park is all.
Awe, The Grease Magamix only a few seconds long? Your killing me… but it is all good. It annoys me too.
The origanal was over 10 minutes long and the studio cut us down to the version you hear today.
If it helps any… I did not make a dime from it
I am a photographer now and out of the misic business all together.
