Don't you hate it when people post obnoxious text at the top of their blog and you have to scroll past it every time you want to read what they've posted? Man, I really hate that.

Manpoo, Mister and Rejection (which doesn't start with 'M')

Let me tell you about my day.

Ran out of shampoo this morning, so when visiting the supermarket later I made a note to get some. I spent a long time looking at bottles with girly words on them; I don't want my hair to be sumptuous! I don't want it to be silky! I don't want it nourished with natural organic honey and elderflower! I didn't want girly shampoo! I wanted Manp-

Then I realised there are some things you don't shout aloud at the supermarket.


Later I met a friend and we ended up making a series of jokes based on a simple premise, which went a little like this.

Mr Chief's daughter is always in trouble ('cus she's Miss chief!!! Like mischief? You with me so far?)

She hangs around with the daughters of Mr Creant and Mr Demeanor.

Mr Tick's daughter writes horoscopes.

Mr Sing has a lovely daughter, but he hasn't seen her in ages.

And then there's Miss Ree, who never met her father.


This is how my mind works.



Finally, I got home and checked my email, and there was one from a job I applied for to work in a toy-store, which I was hopeful about because not only would it probably be the most fun of all I've applied for lately, but it's also the one I have the best chance of getting since I do have some experience with selling toys and games.
The email basically said they hadn't bothered even reading my application.

Apparently they sent the same email to the daughter of Mister Errable.

The only shampoo we have over here that's specifically for men smells god-awful. I've always considered shampoo to be kind of unisex.

Grow a pair and buy the pink bottle, your hair will thank you.

Truth is, most shampoo formulas are identical. Getting the "male" version is a farce. The only difference between most shampoos is the scent.

I pick the cheapest BUPA-approved bottle. My hair hasn't started falling out yet.

I use TRE Semmé deep cleanse - But it shouldn't matter what the packaging looks like so long as it does its job.

There's already a Discworld witch called Miss Tick.

Actually if you want to be super neutral, get baby shampoo. Usually its without any bad chemicals, and quite harmless to your skin...

Nobody called me up on my silly Mister Take's daughter: Obviously I mean BUAV-approved, not BUPA-approved.

'My name,' she said at last, 'is Miss Tick. And I am a witch. It's a good name for a witch, of course.'

'You mean blood-sucking parasite?' said Tiffany, wrinkling her forehead.

'I'm sorry?' said Miss Tick, coldly.

'Ticks,' said Tiffany. 'Sheep get them. But if you use turpentine - '

'I meant that it sounds like "mystic",' said Miss Tick.

'Oh, you mean a pune, or play on words,' said Tiffany.* 'In that case it would be even better if you were Miss Teak, a hard foreign wood, because that would sound like "mystique", or you could be Miss Take, which would - '

'I can see we're going to get along like a house on fire,' said Miss Tick.


* Tiffany had read lots of words in the dictionary that she'd never head spoken, so she had to guess at how they were pronounced.

I have indeed read the Tiffany Aching books ( and all the other Discworld books, as luck would have it).

If I were writing a Pratchett novel the female lead would be called Eldritch Voice (and she would patiently explain how her mother knew more words than definitions). She wouldn't be a witch.

Also, I didn't get a job
