BAT-TERED FOR BEING STUPID


ETCH A SKETCH TO SUE ALL OTHER RECTANGULAR PRODUCTS 

So there we were, the Sultana and I, busily spending some quality time ignoring each other while not watching a complicated crime drama on the misery box.


She on her iscrewwitheveryaspectofyourlifePad and me playing darts on my work iPhone. It's all it's good for as it can't actually make calls. The primary function being largely ignored by Apple in favour of apps you can play with while the intrusive map finds you a payphone.

She had made a remarkable Banoffie Pie, remarkable in the sense that it had no bananas in it. It was Offie Pie. It was good but definitely not one of your five a day. I had eaten lots in an ironically fruitless hunt for the banana. It was a scene of domestic bliss.

I was truly round and thought I may as well watch the crime show as the iPhone had decided I needed to insert a password I didn't know just to look at it. Presumably, it had come to the conclusion that my decision not to allow the world to know my location at all times was worthy of some kind of punishment.

Someone had been murdered in a sleepy little village for the fifth time this week and everyone was becoming a bit furrowed brow about it frankly.

Why would anyone want to move to this village? It's a death trap, your life expectancy was weeks. It was like a rural dignitas. It would be like looking for happiness in Albert Square.

Having said that, this village had plenty of pretty women and middled aged hunks for us middle aged people to stare at with middle aged eyes while figuring out either our phones, iPish or the plot.

Anyway, one of the characters, a forensic patholigist who had clearly researched where to live, was speaking to another of his number, a much older, wiser and far more sarcastic fella. The first man looked like the type who would wear a safety helmet on an exercise bike. The second looked like if he saw him he would superglue his arse to the seat. My kind of chap.

They spoke in complicated tones about this dead lad's entrails. Then one of them turned to the other and said: "There is strange fluid in his oesophagus. His throat. There is something in his throat."

"Yes, hmm his throat," said the other one, calmly.

Now I know there has to be explanation points throughout the plot for those who struggle to comprehend anything above the level of the Jeremy Kyle show, but this was going too far.


OH THE IGNOMINY - BATTERED BY A BAT
 It was unrealistic to the point of making me want to fight the telly and that is not normal, the Sultana told me.

In real life, this hairy hunk of contemptuous career loathing would use every hated day of his 40 years experience to turn on the young apprentice.

He would stare him deep in the eyes and say: "Listen dickhead, I know what an oesophagus is. I was cutting up bodies when your dad was still looking at your mum as though she was human and your mum looked at your dad as something more than a walking/sitting/eating/breathing red hot poker in the eye.

"If you do that again I will be forced to beat you to death with this curiously placed bat before ragging you around the mortuary by your septum. That's the partition separating your nostrils you bag of gibbering shite."

I have no idea why writers insist on considering their viewing public as dumb, really dense loons who don't have enough general knowledge to switch the telly on without a helpline gobshite talking them in. They write for the man in the adverts who can't figure out which shoe goes on which foot or why his food comes out of the oven hot.

I was awoken from my inner fury by the Sultana who decided it was time to chat. The battery on the iTwat had presumably ran out.

The conversation was about the iTwat and it's ability to do stuff that I would never need unless my brain became as disengaged as my children around housework.

This one sided chat was interrupted by my iPhone ringing for the first time this week. Congratulations caller, you made it through the darkness and reached me, I whispered hoping the phone wouldn't hear me and impose even more sanctions.

It was a wrong number, a woman asked for some Connor fella.

"Hello," she said all cocky and familiar as if I was used to phone conversations, "is that Connor Fella?"

"Yes but he is unable to come to the phone," I responded equally familiar. "He is laying in a pool of plastic bat induced blood and choking on the septum that is stuck in his oesophagus, that's his throat by the way."

Right am bored, someone scratch my arm, I said to the room by way of ending the evening.

  1. All the while (if this was last night), your iTwat was being hacked and you were sending every mutual follower a direct message with the ubitquitous "lol someone posted a pic of you bit.ly/blah1234" teaser, linked to some big titty photies...

  6. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  7. Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  8. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My blog has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.

  9. First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.

    I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas
    out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin.

    Any recommendations or hints? Thank you!

  11. Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running
    off the screen in Safari. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.

    Thanks

  12. Currently it looks like Movable Type is the best blogging platform out there right now.
    (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

  14. Hey there would you mind sharing which blog
    platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog soon but
    I'm having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.

    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  16. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I'd figured I'd ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing
    a blog post or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of
    the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you are interested feel free to send me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
