Cheap, Rude Croissants

Oh yeah... I remembered... and it's on a Thursday, like it's supposed to be!


Fergus - Fergus is back! Tomorrow! Within a matter of hours! I don't think I really need anymore yays, this totally tops them all, and makes all of the nays disappear.

Croissants - You know when you really feel like eating a certain type of food and then you get to eat it and it's awesome? I have just had such an experience with a croissant.

Being Cheap- The recession has meant that being stingy isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm not cheap, I'm a frugalista, goddamnit!

Rudeness - Less rudeness, more chavviness. There's no need for it.

Sleep Patterns - Mine is seriously buggered up.

Drugs - Not big and not clever.

Back With A Vengeance

I know I haven't done one of these for ages, but you know... I forgot about them, and then I remembered and couldn't be bothered quite frankly, Mr. Shankley!

So... what's rocking and what's shockin? What's bitchin' and what's itchin'? What's awesome and what's... shit?


Easter - Well, not actually Easter, but the holidays have begun! Everyone is off uni, and now it's only a matter of time before Fergus is back too!

Money - I'm working lots while I'm on holiday, so hopefully I'll have a bit of spare money, because work = money!

Summer - I have plans for summer, and I like making plans and I also like summer so hoorah for everything!



Work - I'm working lots. It's tiring.

Ukulele - Dent May is cool.

Dust - Makes me sneeze. I'm allergic to it, and it's everywhere... even if you're uber clean.

Decapitating Sailor Jerry

C'est Jeudi, c'est yays & nays, naturellement! Except that I keep forgetting but ho-hum nevermind.


Light - Days are getting lighter. This can only be a good thing, as much as I like cosy winter evenings, they do make you feel a bit lazy after a while.

Earl - We have a house for next year and it will be the most beautiful house on the street, nee - planet!

Sailor Jerry - He's a fun guy.


Decapitation - Nora is nearing the end of her beautiful bloomy period, and will soon have to be decapitated for the next few months! Don't worry, she'll be back to her beautiful self again though - I'll make sure of it!

Exams - I did my French exam, not sure how it went I think it was ok but you never can tell. I just don't like exams, I'd much prefer to work properly on an essay.

Bang! - My books keep falling off their shelves and it's quite annoying.

No Sea

Long tie, no sea!


People - There's a lot of lovely people around that are lovely and as a result of this, I love them.

Francais - Je sais, je suis devené répétitif, mais je l'adore.


Moving - I don't want to mooooove. Sad times. Stressful days.

Pain - Nice people should never be in pain. Ever.

Drunk People - They're just complete twats. Just watching them is such a good advertisement for sobriety.

Drugs - What's the point? People on drugs are even bigger twats than the drunk ones. I don't care if they're less addictive than alcohol, they're illegal, and they make you very very very annoying. In fact, that's probably why they're illegal.

Animal Epilating Holiday

Hello there. It's Thursday.



Holiday - Well, sort of. Well, not really. I'm sort of going on a not-really holiday. There will be sun, and I will burn. I will spend lots of money on stupid things and I will eat a lot of terrible, terrible food. Despite this, I get to see my mummy and daddy, so it's not all bad.

Christmas - Oh yes, it's rapidly approaching! I hope you've got all your Christmas shopping done... because I have! Muahahaha

Animals - I have been a variety of animals this week, including: a dinosaur, a snail, a giraffe, a dog, a cat and a reindeer.



Epilating - The necessary evil. Oh, the horror, even my numbed nerves in my legs aren't too happy about the experience.

Packing - Another necessary holiday evil. I wouldn't mind so much if I had actually packed a lot, but I had to jump on my suitcase to close it and I've only packed 7 days worth of clothes and two pairs of shoes - that's it! The rest is presents yet my suitcase is ridiculously heavy.

Leaving - I don't want to go. I like being here, and I hate to think of all the things that will be going on without me that I'm going to miss out on.

Annoying Cornflour

Voila!


Finished Essay – That’s right, another one bites the dust… and now it’s time to start an even more important one which is due in Janurary.

People – Some people on my course are really very lovely.

Sabrina – We’ve watched 4 episodes of Sabrina this morning, and I can’t believe how amazing that programme was… it’s bloody hilarious!


Annoyance – I’m hoping this will be irrelevant by the time this is posted, but I’m highly annoyed at the moment, and I’m expecting compensation.

Money – Christmas and two ‘holidays’ (pah!) in a month are taking their toll on my poor little bank account.

Corn Flour – I dropped a box of cornflour on my laptop and now the keys are filled with it… I keep getting dusty fingers.

Phones & Wellies

Hey there... Where ya from? ...Come here often? ...Alrighty then...


Wellies - The season of the wellies is upon us... and it's a marvellous, puddle-splashingly-fun thing indeed.

Writing - Writing essays that is. Ok, so not writing essays, but specifically writing essays about things that I'm interested in. It's a novel thing to be able to write about something I like and actually have it count towards something. I'm currently writing an essay on 'Daddy' and 'Lady Lazarus' by Sylvia Plath. She's a fascinating lady.

On a similar writing vein, I'm very pleased with myself as my article was put in the student newspaper at my university. It's the most dreadfully boring article ever, but it's a start. Now I can start writing some decent stuff people might actually want to read!

Holiday Plans - Well, sort of. I haven't had a proper holiday for ages I realised the other day. That's what happens when everyone you love lives so far away. Nevertheless, I'm very excited and plan to visit people very soon!


Listing - That's right - writing lists. I've been listing a lot lately. It always seems to start happening at crazy times when I'd much rather be stabbing someone in the eye with my pencil than writing with it.

Phones - Keep breaking, and it's a bit rubbish.

Time - It's this time of the year that often gets forgotten - people are just waiting for Christmas and New Year so they forget to live in the present. I'm very guilty of this, mainly because I love Christmas, but I'll try and work on it this year, and have a happy November!

Cold Obama Cheesecake

C-c-c-c-c-c-check it out, w-w-w-w-what's it all about? ...Thursday!

Obama - Woop!

Cheesecake - It's not quite the new pickles, but I have been wanting a lot of cheesecake for some reason. I also considered putting pickles on cheesecake... I still think that would be amazing, but I don't know if I want to ruin the dream, so I'll leave it. We've got a cheesecake in the fridge.

Fireworks - Kaboooooooooooooooom! They're all loud and pretty. We're going to a display on Saturday! How exciting!


Cold - Cold mornings, to be exact. They make it very difficult to get up in the mornings.

Junkies - Behave yourselves, or go away.

David Tennant - Leaving Dr Who... how could he do this to us?!

Halloween Patrol

Only two today! To make a nice change... and also, I'm tired.



Work - My new job is tiring, but fun!

Halloween - Fun times!



Noisey Neighbours - Our neighbours keep playing really rubbish, really loud music!

Snow Patrol - Let's face it. They're just crap really, aren't they?

Happy Birthday Blog!

Hooray again! It's www.harharbonk.blogspot.com's birthday today! (Except it was yesterday but I haven't gone to sleep yet so it still counts... I've been very busy busy working working working!)

That's right it's been a whole year of ridiculousness and telling people things they didn't want to know or even need to know! Good times!

To commemorate this momentous occasion, I thought it would be nice to remind everyone how awesome I am. So here is my top 10 blog posts from the last year:

Top 10 Ambiguous Songs

Top 10 90s Songs

No Such Thing

Oh...!

I say that, but there may be other ones. These are the ones I can see from quickly looking through the titles, but I don't know. It's sort of like choosing a favourite mole, they're all pretty rubbish and ugly and might end up killing you one day. Bad analogy alert.

Any ideas what ones should be in the top 10? I may change my list.

Pickley Cobwebs

Thiiiings... can only get betterrrrr... can only get, can only get, can only get better! Now I've written a blooooog...

Pickles - Words can't describe how much I love pickles. It makes me want to cry how yummy they are. I'm currently mourning a sandwich which I just ate. Pickley goodness!

Writing - I wrote my first article for the student newspaper! It was very boring, but they told me what to write so I shall blame them. I am starting an article soon which will be about music or entertainment so that should be much more interesting!

Finished Essay - I finished a 3000 word essay on 'the fragmentation of self' in Jekyll and Hyde... and it's not completely rubbish. I showed my tutor and she said it looks promising. Hoorah! You'll always get praised for using the Oedipus complex as an example... but I think they're all just pervs to be honest.


Cobwebs - There's been a cobweb on my window for about a month now. It's on the outside, so how am I supposed to get rid of it?! Sorry, Spiders are not welcome... especially that weird bloke from Eastenders (or was it Corrie?)

Epilating - Bad times. I'm considering retiring.

Loan - I got my loan, which is a good thing, but now I have to pay it back, which I'd rather not do.

Stupid Covertopotamus Genocide

Just a little one today - you don't need explanations - you're not that stupid.

Covert Operations - How exciting!

Skype - It's green (and blue), it's great... what more do you want?!

The Hiphopopotamus - His lyrics are bottomless!

Conjugations - C'est difficile!!

Beds - We have too many and they won't be taken away by our landlord! Bastard!

Genocide - It's bad... apparently.

Clever French Fridges

A big thankies to my dearest Kirsty, who reminded me to write this while it is still Thursday. Hoorah!

French - Oh yes, I am returning to the language from the land of baguettes, jus d'orange, Jacque Cousteau and various other stereotypically French objects! I'm doing French as part of my degree! Je l'aime!

Misty - The hedgehog. For something with such shitty feet she's very pretty.

Being Clever - University is good times, yes yes.

Illness - I’m ill. It’s rubbish ill because it’s a cold, and not even a big enough cold to warrant any sympathy. It is, however the type of cold which makes you feel fine one minute and then exhausted the next. Also, my nose is creaking. I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to do that. It sounds like a pirate ship but with less cannons.

Reading – I’ve done all the good reading for my course, now I’m left with the dregs that I deliberately left because they don’t particularly interest me. Who knows, they might be great. I’ll have to read them and find out.

Fridge - Our fridge is broken. Not only is this wasting our food which is slowly decomposting in our kitchen, but it's making the kitchen untidy which is even more stressful than having no food. Boo! Boo indeed!

Happy Bike Sodomy

Yep...

University - Obviously, I started university this week. How very exciting. I hate to think that I'm a stupid fresher, but I am really, aren't I? Still, at least I'm not rude, which is more than I can say for some of our neighbours. University has been good so far, but then I've only been there three days!

Happy Fergus - It's good to know, because when Fergus is happy, Sophie is happy - it's as simple as that.

Coxing - I possibly may or may not be learning to be a cox with the rowing society. Whether I will or not is another thing, but the possibility is enough. I'm small and can shout loudly when I need to - so I'm pretty much over-qualified. Let's not laugh at the name now children.

Loud Music - Rude bastarding neighbours keep waking us up at all hours playing their shitty, shitty music. It's not big, and it's not clever, and we will call the bloody police. You stupid, childish, selfish bastards.

Bike Woes - My bike is making a weird noise. I think the chain is buggered or something, so whoever has been practicing sodomy on my bike if you could please refrain it would be very much appreciated.

ID - My university ID won't be ready for about 2 weeks, so I can't visit the gorgeous library (you know how sad I am about libraries) or get things for cheapies with my student discount! Boo indeed.

Delays & Nays

After a slight pause, here we have it...

Painting - Oh my goodness, Sarah and I have been painting all day and we are exhausted! We painted the kitchen and the bathroom and now our house is like a giant colourful palace!

Simon Pegg - Was on Jonathan Ross today! Not literally, because that wouldn't be suitable for the BBC, but they were talking about various things that are going on and it was very interesting. Sarah and I have a suspicion that the new Simon Pegg and Nick Frost film will either be sci-fi or have something to do with Star Wars! You also might be interested to know that 'Colin' the Schnauzer in Spaced is in fact Simon Pegg's dog and she's called 'Mini'.

Taboo - Possibly the most fun game ever. Extra points for playing with a pillow attached to your face.

No Chocolate - We have no chocolate in the house. Why?! More importantly - how do we get some without having to leave the sofa?!

Tiredness - We are so very very tired after painting all day - it's exhausting work I tell you! But it was definitely worth it.

Coldness - It was so cold today! Too cold even to drink tea! ... Ok maybe that's a lie, but it was very cold.

Would Like To George

Ok, after that slight interval, here it is - what's shitty and what's pretty this week...

George's Car - Oh what a thing of beauty it is, even if it does blow a fuse every now and then. It's almost as gorgeous as the man himself. Oh, and a very honourable mention to the marvellous man (I think he was Gary Numan, I'm not sure) who took the time to help us out and fix George's car. A box of malteasers coming your way, sir!

Halloween - Asda has it's decorations out! How very exciting! I can't wait, we're going to decorate the house all lovely and spooky and give out lots of sweeties! Hoorah! I want to dress up as a pumpkin.

Nice People - Everyone's been really nice to me today, and I don't know why but it's brilliant. Could it be the purple hair? Or the Jonathan Creek-esque duffle coat? Perhaps.

Would Like To Meet - I used to love this programme where they make sad people cool, it was fantastic, however, I've just stayed up until 1.30 watching the re-visited version of it and I don't like it anymore. Possibly a whole different kettle of bloggage to follow. If I remember.

Unemployment - I have now finished work! Eep! Very scary stuff. I'll miss the people so much, and the job. It stressed me out, but I enjoyed it. I'll also miss the building, the routine, and more importantly... the money.

Chavs - I got called a 'gribber' today. Presumably that's some variation of 'gribley'. I suppose the duffle coat did it. Oh well. It was pretty damn funny... educational too, I didn't even know that word existed! They shouted it at me whilst on a bike, so I suppose it was like a 'cycle-by'.

Mrs Jonathan Van Tyres

I would like to point out that I thought I has scheduled this to be posted yesterday, because I would have been in London. Except that I accidentally put it as a draft instead... so it didn't post... so I may appear a tad late, but in fact I was early! Yep!

London - We went to London yesterday! Hooray! We saw mucho amazing things... we also went to the Natural History Museum and saw lots of dinosaurs (...skeletons).

Mrs Robinson - Jesus loves her more than she will know. Who wouldn't?

Jonathan Creek - Probably one of the best TV shows in the universe ever. Do do do do do do do do do dodododododo do do do... (that was the theme tune...) If I were a man, I'd aspire to be Jonathan Creek, most definitely.


Loud Laughing - That is to say, loud and/or sudden laughing that seems unjustified. Usually hear when people want to prove they have understood a slightly intellectual joke. Morons.

Flat Tyres - Not good for cycling in the morning, or any time of day for that matter. Not good at all.

End Of Summer - Summer is officially over. It's autumnal weather, which I would love if all my shoes didn't have holes in. The worst part of it all is people going back from whence they came... or whence they're sodding off to... sad times.

Animals Neigh

Yays and Nays returns...with a vague animal theme this week. I didn't notice it until after, but there we go.
Yays - Being happy and having things which make you say 'Yays' is enough to make me say 'Yays!'

Zoo - We went to the zoo the other day! It was amazing! It was like being a kid again only I was more able to appreciate and understand it all! Woop! Loved the tiger and the giraffes... oh, and the little monkeys! Oh and the lemurs too!

Essays - I've just written a fair bit of an essay today. Not my essay, but an essay none the less. I'm glad to say I survived it without my brain exploding having not written one for about 2 years, and I am also glad to say that I can still write a load of rubbish that makes very little sense.
Neighs - I don't really like horses. Never been a horsey person. Don't judge me, I'm not Camilla Shitting Parker Bastard Bowles!

Lady Times - Each one more excruciating than the last.

Rain in August - It's not big, it's not clever, and it certainly isn't seasonal!

Nigel's Birthday

Without further a shrew, here my dears is this week's yays & nays...

Y&N Spinoffs - This person has, and this person has plans to do their own versions of Yays & Nays... which is fine by me because I stole the concept in the first place. Imitation is the queerest form of Tony Slattery, as they say. Hoorah!

Britain - We're doing so ruddy well in the Olympics! We rule! Rule Britannia!

Finger Painting - We did some finger painting today! It was very fun indeed. I painted a unicorn called Nigel, because it's his birthday.

R.I.P Angus - Angus the fish is dead. Sad times. He was buried in a box full of his favourite things: a pea, some fish food, a pebble and some water from his tank.

Photoshop - I tried to download photoshop the other day, but for some stupid reason it wouldn't work on my laptop. To make matters worse there's now hardly any room left of my laptop so I'm going to have to go around deleting things.

Change - I don't like it. Not lots of change, and not all at once. Not fun.

Electric Assumptions

Yays and nays is back... without a vengeance, really, I'd say it was more of a quiet enthusiasm.

Olympics - I love that everyone gets really into the Olympics. Much better than the World Cup, because no-one likes football really, we all know it's just invented to make men look manly.

Electricity - Our very brief lack of electricity earlier this week made me realise how lucky we are to have such a thing. It's taken for granted, but when it's not there it's very strange indeed!

New Songs - I got some new songs on my iPod recently. I discovered that weirdly I walk faster when I'm listening to new songs rather than old ones, it helped me get to work quicker. Strange, but true. Any suggestions of bands?
Chavs - If you want a job, work somewhere that doesn't require intelligence, or social skills. Don't come to my office, because no-one will like you.

Crazy Office People - No you're not crazy, you're incredibly safe and predictable. Your generic, inoffensive office humour makes me want to throw my shoes at you.

Assumptions - Because when you assume, you make an 'ass' of 'u' and 'me'.
