Say What you See

I have grave news… my boss has bought a pink Motorola Z3 RAZR. Oh dear. I tried to convince her it was a bad idea (only 5.5Mb of memory and not even the ability to whack a memory card in it, woah there.!) but she persisted. Oh well. From a 6600 to a Z3. Not good :D

What has today been about.? Well it was about smoking; ikkle cocktail sausages with pickle flavour mini cheddars; dropping TV’s in front of customers; Laughing at people who annoy me; Making cutting remarks about how a certain person’s knees should get to know each other better (you know who you are :mrgreen: ).

It hasn’t been to bad really. Plenty of staff, but I did run out of fags and had to smoke menthols unless someone lent me a normal smoke.

And this evening.? Well I have just ordered a curry, while watching Teachers again, playing the Sims (meet the Bongo family) and, well typing this too.!

Just got out the bath, having been lying there reading a book all about Catchphrases… nooooo not the big computer animated drawings with Roy Walker stood next to them (I have met him.!! *shouts of Name Dropper.!!*) but those little sayings that seem so innocuous the first time you hear them, but then grow exponentionally with each subsequent hearing.

How many times a day do you say someone’s catchphrase.? Just like that.? See, right there (Tommy Cooper). There’s one. Oooops, that is one too (Hale and Pace). It only takes a seasoned performer one utterence of a line on stage and an accidental repeat somewhere else and *BOOOM* a new phrase has exploded onto the English language scene.

When you go to work/school/college/dole office/mental ward tomorrow just take note of what both you and other people say and see just how many times you hear a comedians favourite saying, or a film star’s most famous line.

Here’s looking at you, kid.
