Well here it is, my first venture into the blogosphere (they taught me that word at work, I is well cool), providing me with the ultimate (and predominantly unseen) arena to vent my spleen on the issues of the day.
When I say issues, a better description would be TV adverts, celebrities and just general life observations, rather than climate change and the situation in Gaza. Think Peter Kay with a sprinkling of Victoria Wood (interesting fact, VW's ex-husband The Great Soprendo used to do magic shows at my school fetes, but I digress...).
It may be a sign of old age, but I seem to be getting more grumpy by the week - this is depite heavy medication and intensive psychotherapy - some may say cantankerous, but I like to see myself as sarcastically petulant. It has been suggested by colleagues that I might channel this sarcasm into a blog (presumably as a way of shutting me up) hence here it is - Grumpy Old Gay.
At random intervals (or when my medication is wearing off) I will be updating you on what's winding me up this week - but just in case you think that I'm a total misery (how very dare you) there will also be a sprinkling of things that I'm loving as well (Puck from Glee, Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc).
Things that really annoy me might be the Go Compare adverts, anything to do with Britain's Got Talent (I'm sorry, but what the fuck do Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan know about talent, dancing dogs anyone?) or men over the age of 16 on BMX bikes.
Anyway, that's more than enough for you lucky, lucky readers (if your eyes haven't begun to bleed by this point).
Please feel free to comment below - I may just SHOUT BACK AT YOU IN FULL CAPS.
Grumpy hug
Matt
30 something for how long then??? (Oh, oh no, I've angered it!!!!)
ReplyDeleteOh young, sweet, lovely Jessica, it was all going so well, and then you had to SPOIL EVERYTHING - watch your back Stephens...
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say I totally agree about BGT - what a load of old pony. Should we really celebrate mediocrity? and what is the deal with the cliche crap coming from their mouths - personal favourite being "I think you have just proved Britain HAS got talent" no you have not, you have just proved you spend too much time with your dog. For the record amanda is ridiculous and i would never let anyone judge me whose only claim to fame is sleeping with Neil Morrisey and appearing in Thoroughly Modern Milly.
ReplyDeleteGrumpy we love you...grumpy we dooooo (you have to do the whiney sad friend voice or it doesn't work). Feel better now ???
