Things that rhyme with boring

You know how at work, sometimes, you have to go to presentations and stuff.  Some of them sound interesting, but then it turns out they're not.  This list was written at one of those...

Things that rhyme with boring

  • snoring
  • ignoring
  • (asleep on the) flooring
  • 1900-TRAPDOOR-ing
  • blah blah gabor-ing
  • drawing
  • through my brain a rat is gnawing
  • it’s as fun as manuring
  • the dentist may be more alluring
  • from the edge clawing
  • 2:30 appointment is reassuring (added at 2:10)
  • enough guffawing!
  • I wish beer was a-pouring

I went to the 2:30 appointment from here.   And, by the way, the 2:30 appointment was real.  Thank you to those who thought me clever enough to have made it up for the sake of leaving the meeting room!

A test

This is a test post. I'm trying to seek new ways to develop posts when I'm
offline. I've been trying some third-party editors but nothing wants to
retrieve my list of blogs from the new and apparently improved blogger.
Poo.

List of cheese

Cheddar
Brie
Camembert

Long Car Trips

So this is not an innovative or exciting new list. but it does highlight that making lists is fun. We went on a fabulous road trip recently to see the fabulous robbie williams (wheeee) and wrote this list on the way.

List of classic film lines:
What film do they belong to?

“Excuse me, I’d like to get by now.”
“I’ll be back.”
“It’s the fastest ship in the galaxy!”
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
“I’ll have what she’s having.”
“Would you like me to seduce you?”
“Whatever”
“Are you talking to me?”
“Go ahead, make my day.”
“Elmo doesn’t think he’s on Sesame Street anymore.”
“And there goes a girl who I’m afraid will never become a nun.”
“Fuck me gently with a chainsaw.”
“I’ve got so many hickies people think I’m a leper.”
“Come on kids, let’s put on a show.”
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”
“That would be ….a….waste…of ….time (insert Red Hot Chilli Pepper hand gestures here)
“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
“We are not worthy!!!!”
“You feeling lucky, punk?”
“It’s just a flesh wound!”
“I wasn’t picking it, I was scratching it.”
“Excuse me, was that the “LOSER” sneeze?”
“Missy’s the poo!”
“The first part’s shit. But the second part is really nifty”


But wait there's more...

And this might give away some of our musical tastes on the journey...

Most of “Ice Ice Baby”
“Right up where the stallion meets the sun” Could It Be Magic?

I love my best friend

Because:
she's as funny as fyuck
she loves all the things I love, especially cheese and good wine
she likes my dorky taste in music
she listens to all my stories and reacts as though she's never heard them before
she tells me when I'm being a dick
she accepts my partner and loves him too, even when he's hard work
her kids are cool most of the time, and when they're not, she doesn't pretend they are
she likes my kids, and when they're crazy, she doesn't pretend they're not, or that she can't cope with them
her partner can be an arse and we mostly hate each other and she doesn't get wound up about that
she loves me back
