Pooping back and forth...

I've never seen the movie ‘Me, You And Everyone We Know’ but Kelly Oxford posted a clip on her blog and it's hilarious and yes, I've now watched it multiple times.

I can't figure out how to reblog her original post so this will have to do.

While you're at it, follow her blog and follow her on Twitter.

TenQ

On the back of my last post about the Lipton/Pivot questionnaire, I have started another blog giving you the opportunity to complete the questionnaire via a web form which can be found here & share your results with friends. 

Go, go, go!

Have you ever watched "Inside the Actor's Studio" with James Lipton?

It's a televised seminar where actors are interviewed by Mr Lipton in front of drama school students which, if you haven't seen, should be on your list of things to do. Think of it as a useful way to waste time in front of the television.

At the end of each show, the actors are asked a set of ten questions which were originally compiled by Bernard Pivot for his French TV show "Bouillon de Culture".

Below, I have answered those questions.

 

1) What is your favourite word?

Salubrious... It's just lovely to say. It is however, a close run thing though. It's a photo finish between salubrious and my answer to question five.

2) What is your least favourite word?

Deliverables. I'm not even sure it's a real word anyway. It reminds me of my day job. The fact I have to come into the office is reminder enough thank you very much.

3) What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?

Music does it for me on multiple levels. Whether it's in a creative sense or how a piece of music can make you feel emotionally. Personally, I'm not sure there's a more powerful medium.

Another huge turn on is science. To be more specific, the science of space & the universe fascinates me.

Finally, you can't beat a bit of porn.

4) What turns you off?

Arrogance, boastfulness and halitosis.  For the record, halitosis is not something to boast about.

5) What is your favourite curse word?

I've always been a firm believer in the simplicity & power of the word "fuck" but at the moment I like to refer to certain people as "cuntpuffins".

In fact, you can come up with an endless supply of offensive names by simply joining a curse word & an animal's name. Why not play along at home?

6) What sound or noise do you love?

Every Friday at 16:00, the fire alarm is tested in our office. This sound heralds the start of the weekend & frankly, there is no sound more satisfying. You were expecting me to say the sound of my children laughing joyfully weren't you?

7) What sound or noise do you hate?

The alarm clock. No other sound on earth repeatedly tortures me like it does. I once tried changing it from the default alarm to a song I like. Suffice to say, I now hate that song.

8) What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?

I always wanted to be a pilot. I didn't work hard enough at school; I learned to do enough to just get by. Herein lies a life lesson

9) What profession would you not like to do?

Any job that involves killing animals. You know that guy they have at racecourses that'll shoot a horse in the head if it's been unfortunately injured?  I'd hate to be that guy. You have to wonder how many good days this guy actually has.

10) If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Ok... so we're assuming that in addition to heaven, God also exists? I'll play along then.

God: Hey Buddy! I've set you up with a sweet studio for recording and a plush house. Your angel wings will be ready shortly. I've taken the liberty of having them made in black. Oh, and one more thing... I forgive you for never believing in me and for spending your life mocking the idea of organised religion.

Me: Rock on Big Guy!

Pranks

I love my girlfriend.

I get up at 5:45 so I can drop her at the railway station. Whilst she's getting herself together I make her coffee in one of the travel cups she acquired from work.

But I can't help playing the odd prank here and there.

Girlchild Nose Best

Girlchild: *sniff*

Me: When you get in to school you should blow your nose

Girlchild: Why?

Me: Because you'll block your nose up further by sniffing that snot up back up

Girlchild: It's ok, I'm sniffing it into my mouth and then swallowing it!

Whose side I am I on in this wonderful war?

In Bruges is one of favourite films and this is one of many memorable scenes.

And in case you're wondering, I'd be on the side of the gypsies. Nobody fucks with the gypsies.

Love is complicated

Girlchild: So... I'm going to watch some TV but first I'm going to need a hug

Me: Sure thing

Girlchild: I'm not even sure why I want a hug

Me: Because I'm awesome & you love me?

Girlchild: Noooo!

Me: Yeah, you love me so much you can't hep but hug me

Girlchild: You're my stepdad & I have to give you hugs

Me: You don't have to if you don't want to

Girlchild: Well... uh, I want to. *pause*  But it's not because I love you ok?

Food For Thought

 

What follows is a crisp bag full of tweets from @_JamesDavies highlighting that there's a very blurred bottom line when it comes to charity & profit. 

Many thanks to James for allowing me to publish his tweets as part of this blog

THERE NOW FOLLOWS 10 CONSECUTIVE AND CONNECTED TWEETS FROM ME. 

PAY ATTENTION EVERYBODY, THERE IS A POINT TO THIS. HERE GOES.....

 
1) Walkers Crisps latest promotion sees new flavours of crisps named after UK comedians Stephen Fry, Jimmy Carr, Al Murray and Frank Skinner.
 
2) The new flavours are Stephen Fry Up, Frank Roast Dinner, Jimmy con Carrne and Steak and Al Pie. The adverts also feature Gary Lineker.
 
3) The aim is raise £1million for Comic Relief with 5p from each pack sold being donated to the charity.
 
4) Consider for a moment the combined wealth of Fry, Skinner, Carr, Murray and Lineker.
 
5) Now consider that Walkers is owned by Frito Lays who are worth $12billion.

6) According to the Guardian, Frito Lays has moved ownership of Walkers from the UK to Switzerland which "has cost UK millions" in lost taxes.

7) Did you know that Frito Lays are a subsidiary of global confectionery giant Pepsico, whose annual profit for 2010 was $5.95billion?

8) To reach the goal of raising £1million pounds for Comic Relief UK customers would need to buy 20000000 packets of crisps. That's 20 million.

9) Assuming that a single packet of crisps costs 45p, after the £1m has been donated to charity Walkers/Frito Lays/Pepsico will have made £8m.

10) That's £8m which they won't pay tax on in the UK. Makes you think doesn't it. Still, 5p from every pack, that's nice of them.
