POTW

Ok, this isn't a phrase, it's just a word. Well, it's not really a real word either... it's something that got accidentally invented in the lab today when Hills thought I said this when I actually said something else.

The "phrase" of the week this week is: Meepery.

Seeing as it's not a real word, feel free to be inventive with your use of it! I can imagine there'll be a great deal of meepery here for the rest of the week, judging by the last couple of days!

That time again

Yes it's Monday, and that means that it's phrase of the week time!

This week's POTW is:

I'm right, and therefore I win!

This is something I've been saying for years. Not entirely sure why I started it, or how I came up with it in the first place, but that's not important. The only important thing here is that I'm right, and therefore I win!

Xav-cam

Ever wondered what a Frenchman on a dancemat on expert mode would look like? Well, here's your answer! This is Xav, my ex-flatmate on my dancemat at my flat warming party. Because obviously expert mode couldn't be that hard...!

An introduction

It's time to introduce you all to someone. Some of you have already met him, but for those who haven't I hope you're all excited! For those of you who have met him, this is him in his "normal" state (I use the speech marks because let's be honest, he's never going to be that normal!).

I'd like you all to meet.....

Mr Flat!

He's very pretty and shiny. This is my living room (fairly obviously). I'd like to point out that the cake box doesn't normally live on the arm of the sofa, but it made it easier for us to get to the cake!


This is the rest of the living room, complete with
smoke machine (the thing under the photos) and what's becoming an impressively large collection of photos of me and my friends, generally doing random things. The majority of them (at least the more recent ones) are on my flickr site, should anyone want to see just how strange some of my friends are!



My bedroom isn't currently quite as tidy as it should be, so you only get to see half of it, but to be honest most of the rest of it is taken up with shoes, so there's not that much to see!


The kitchen is really lovely - everything's brand new, so it all works (after the wachine machine incident anyway!), and while it does make it a bit of a nightmare if anything does go wrong, I love the fact that all the appliances are built in so they're all hidden behind cupboard doors, including the dishwasher!










And last but not least, the bathroom. It's shiny too, but again you only get to see half of it, although that's more to do with the fact that I figured you probably wouldn't want to see a picture of my toilet, rather than it not being tidy!




So that's Mr Flat, in his general state rather than when he's full of slightly odd people playing on a dancemat and playstation karaoke! And look, I do actually have tables - they're not normally covered with so much food that you can't see them!

Phrase of the week

It's phrase of the week time again! This week's phrase is something we started in our office. Hilary has a lot of plants. And I mean a LOT! There are plants everywhere! So, she became known as the crazy plant lady. Since then, Anna has become the crazy duck lady, and I've been called the crazy dancing lady. So, phrase of the week is:

crazy[object] person

I expect to see/hear many uses of this over the week. And Anna, make sure you post it this time! Otherwise I'll have to have words and make you go and sit in the corner and think about what you've done!
