Life. Oh Life. Oh life. As the Lighthouse Family used to say to me

Hi Kids,

We've been a bit quiet recently as Life has been determined to kick us both up the arse lately.

Only last week, Shiv was on her way home from work when she saw a pound lying on the floor. Bending to pick it up, she heard the sound of galloping footsteps behind her. That's right, folks, it was Life taking a run up to kick the twin peaches of her arse.

At the weekend, I was asleep when Life done a poo in my mouth, took a picture and tagged all my friends with it on Facebook.

Stop it Life. We know your dad!

I second that emotion

I say that until 2009 is over, we all stay at home and play with ourselves

Now I understand

A fair few years back (think E17 in the charts) I was a school leaver, collecting comments and good luck messages for posterity in a science notebook I had 'liberated' from the Physics cupboard.

One teacher, who was probably the age I am now, wrote "Keep that sense of humour - you'll need it when you go out in the real world". The word real was underlined not once, but twice.

And you know what, as I survey what has been all told another pretty shoddy week for me, my close buddies, and a lot of the rest of the world, I know exactly what they meant. The real world (underlined or not) doesn't take any prisoners. (It probably just beats them up instead)

So as I sign off, I am looking once more for my sense of humour, and am hopeful its at the foot of this tea mug I'm nursing.

May you kind reader always have your humour near you.
