Tis the season, so seems about time to reduce the years output to a series of pointless meaningless lists. I think it’s about the appropriate time.

My top 5 shits:
-
June 9th. Wedding Anniversary Shit. It was a warm day and after my usual morning log I was pleasantly surprised by an 11AM barnstormer.
-
February 15th. Post Valentine Shit. She swears I didn’t drink any more than usual and the rohypnol was where I left it, but it was a sore one and no mistake. Satisfyingly finished before teatime.
-
September 1st. Phantom New Boy Shit. It was a long time ago but the first day of big school heralds the arrival of big log. Almost worth putting the blazer on for.
-
July 30th. Terminal Shit. Did I check every pocket in the bags? Did we take this luggage to that festival? Christ what if the sniffer dogs are going ape as I sit here shitting? Heathrow hummer.
-
March 24th. The Extra Mile Shit. Caught short during run. Picked up paper without breaking stride. Hurdled fence facing the Itchen. Dropped shorts and shat. Waved to passing rowers. Continued run.

Not exactly what I was going for, but why not?
Honoured my birthday has made the list.
Which one’s your birthday KRG? I’ll add it to the log log for next year.

I shit myself in the shower on Sunday morning 
Or rather, I started shitting myself in the shower, panicked, ran for the toilet down the hall (my shower is seperate room) and ended up shitting myself across the bedroom + landing also. It was fucking everywhere. I had v.heavy night on Saturday so that is my only excuse. Once I cleaned myself up in the toilet, I shouted down for bird, and when she come up I was like, ‘LOOK WHAT UR FUCKING CAT HAS DONE!!!’ She didn’t buy it tho. It was the sheer volume I think, that gave me away 
Then this morning right, in unrelated dramas, I got called in to HR and got given verbal warning for “Calling People Rude Names”. It’s only my second week!

The Calling People Rude Names was fairly classic, actually. It went down like this:
HR BIRD: We’ve received a complaint about you.
BEAR: Me? What for?
HR: Calling people rude names.
BEAR: What? No I haven’t! Who have I been calling names?
(This was lies, I’ve called loads of people rude names, but I usually only do it behind their back, so I don’t see how HR is finding out!)
HR: Bethany.
BEAR: Beef fanny?
HR: Exactly. That’s it exactly. I don’t know if you’re trying to be funny-
(Bear tries to look Innocent)
HR: - but it’s not pronounced like that.
BEAR: Maybe it’s my accent?
HR: Bethany
BEAR: Beef fanny?
HR: Bethany
BEAR: Beefanny?
HR: Beth
BEAR: *sigh* Beth
HR: Any
BEAR: Fanny
It’s PC gone mad!

Top 5 personal moments that I am comfy enough to share:-
- The grandad having a successful op and getting over it. We were all worried for a bit.
- Starting Sotonians
- Introducing new cat to family without interspecies murder.
- Too many to mention individually, but loads of people have had new babies this year, which is always nice.
- The 6-1 drubbing of Aston Villa. Great day which helped to kick this place off.

Culture update -
All in my own humble personal opinion obviously…
TV events of the year - This is England, and I did enjoy Gotham.
The Mad Max film was horrifically bad, the Lance Armstrong film was very good.
Gary Numan doing the Pleasure Principle was enormous, Billy Bragg at the Joiners was a top gig.
Stewart Lee was my comedy night of the year.
Had a good shit in October, a four flusher on the Goat scale - had to use a toothbrush handle to shoo it away, not my brush obviously!

Is this true bear or just a rumour? And if it is true can she really complain? If it is true it is not a rude name just an obervtion and HR shouldn’t be getting involved in observations. They are there to assist, sort out holiday time etc, not get in the way of science.

So when did you leave Burger King? Or was it KFC?
And where are you now? KFC or Burger King?
I don’t mind eating crap food occasionally but what the fuck are Burger King doing?
How can you make a slice of cooked meat taste like fucking wallpaper?
And chips??
I don’t think so.

You make good points tokyos! I wish I had thought of that at the time! Surely the burden of proof is in her court, if she wishes to claim that her fanny does not smell of beef? I should’ve been like, listen HR, let’s get her in then, sort this out once and for all. Have a sniff.

As there does not appear to be any function whereby I could read all your posts seperately (like there is on The Glorious SteveWeb), could you kindly point me to the exact page, or provide a short precis here (so as not to annoy Beltch by going into two paragraphs).
I thank you.
