I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer.
The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually that seem to want to ruin it for the rest of us. So I’m going to tell you about it. There’s will likely be the odd rude word and definitely a venting of frustration but I’m going to try and take the burrs off with some humour.
Some of you may even enjoy it… but I’m not going to count on it.
What is it about farts that’s so funny? I think the consensus among the general human species is that farts are funny and different farts are funny in different ways. I mean the fart you let off that comes through long and drown out when you bend over is possibly the funniest – I don’t know – you tell me.
The thing is with them is they’re like tickles, you can just never be fully prepared for them, one second nothing and the next the next a full release of Hydrogen Sulphide fills the room. I mean it’s funnier if you can fart and then wander off – that’s really funny. It’s just the existence of them that is totally hilarious. Yet we all do them, us humans are strange creatures.
It was the other day at work that got me though. I don’t want to paint too crude a picture but someone entering the cubicle next to me let’s out a small parp and I have to bite my lip to contain the giggle after all there’s less than half an inch of barrier between us. That in itself is a scary thought but there you go that’s this modern life for you!
Anyway, as I prepare to leave I manage to contain myself but as go to leave so does he (it’s safe to assume it’s a he I hope as it is a Men’s convenience). So as I’m washing my hands he exists and I have to stare at my hands – I know full well that if I catch his eye that will be it. I’m vaguely aware of the parson behind me as I see a flash of movement in the mirror and with my hands only half dry I exit.
I decided that there was only one thing that would have made this situation worse and that was if I had actually caught his eye. Actually no – what would have made it worse is that by some freak of timing nature I was to respond to the unexpected flatulence. I think that would have finished both of us.
Humans are strange.

A Lens to the Sky
I love skylines, so often a lens doesn’t do them justice but sometimes a wide lens and a moody sky can make a beautiful picture. I wish I could mount some of these at times…Enjoy the views!

A Flavour of Spring
I can’t talk obviously about the rest of the world, but here in the UK Spring has been a bit of a washout but there have been a few times where the Sun and been able to shine onto the beauty of the Spring and I’ve been able to capture a flavour of it.I hope…
