“Large doner please mate”

Posted on July 9, 2011 by Manifestations of Baboonery

Not a Spotted Dick this one as it’s more of an accidental textual reference to a vertical bacon sandwich, but as it combines puerile humour, is on the front cover of a kids book and reminded me of something terrible … Continue reading →

Mother’s delay

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Manifestations of Baboonery

This post is slightly out of date, mainly as I forgot I’d taken the picture, but worth sharing nonetheless. Every year the guy who runs the ‘fruit n’ veg’ stall near my office makes signs to promote Mother’s Day. Now, … Continue reading →

Trouser snake

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Manifestations of Baboonery

It’s been a while since I updated MoB and I’ve been getting complaints, which is a compliment I suppose. But I need to point out that my life, despite appearances and my constant frowning, is not made up of wall … Continue reading →

Accidental Section 66 violation, your Honour.

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Manifestations of Baboonery

Last Friday morning, unusually for me, I was running late for work. In fact I was running late for a rather important external meeting. The meeting was in Lambeth but because it was a crisp winter morning and I was … Continue reading →

Puss in boots

Posted on February 18, 2011 by Manifestations of Baboonery

The other day I had to go and oversee a radio ad being recorded. Trust me, this sounds more glamorous than it was. Being pious I decided to walk from my office in Westminster to the recording studio in Soho. … Continue reading →

Beaty Swollocks

Posted on November 24, 2010 by Manifestations of Baboonery

Writing Fuss Pots reminded me of another travesty at the same pub. It was high summer, I was working a back to back double shift (two 14 hour days in a row). Instead of going home at the end of … Continue reading →

Fuss pots

Posted on November 19, 2010 by Manifestations of Baboonery

When I was a student I used to work in a pub during the holidays. This turned me into a very bitter person. Standing up all day long whilst people are enjoying themselves, eating, and slowly getting pissed evokes, at best, … Continue reading →

Night fuss

Posted on October 27, 2010 by Manifestations of Baboonery

On Friday I went out for a few pale ales after work. I ended up inevitably skulling my two “last orders” beers as the lights were turned on and chairs upturned onto tables. Despite being three sheets to the wind … Continue reading →

Listen to your elders

Posted on October 20, 2010 by Manifestations of Baboonery

I’ve just realised the last few posts, including this one have been a little on faecal side. I promise the next few won’t be so low-brow. Yesterday morning I foolishly ignored two pieces of flawless life advice. For the umpteen time I … Continue reading →

Sara Lee shoe polish

Posted on October 15, 2010 by Manifestations of Baboonery

It’s been a while since I last posted, for which I must apologise. Not least as hopefully it will stop the Misery style death threats. I’ve got a quick travesty to keep the nutnuts at bay and will post soon … Continue reading →
