Don't you just hate it when...

...people are incapable of getting back to with an answer to a perfectly straightforward question?
...people give you no notice at all of something you "need" to do, which either takes a few days to set up, or can only be set up on certain days as a result of other things you're doing, and still expect it done today?
...you work your ass of trying to get things done, only to have nothing work, and then get told it's all your fault because you "must" have made one or more utterly stupid mistakes, despite the fact you know you didn't?
...you find you're working for the least helpful person in the world and can do pretty much nothing about it?
...you're shattered, frustrated and grumpy most of the time as a result of the above?

End of rant, for now. I hope...

The world's most comedy calendar?!

If you've bought a card for anyone in the last few years, I really hope you've come across Edward Monkton cards. They're fairly simple, usually black and white cartoon type things, with some kind of comedy verse or story. These no longer only exist as cards, but also as books, cuddly toys and much to my amazement when my friend, the crazy duck lady, gave me one for Christmas, desk top calendars! This is possibly the most appropriate calendar I've ever been given, as on the front of it is:

The text under the picture is:
When I am grown-up I will understand how beautiful it feels to administrate my life effectively. Until then I will continue to torch all correspondance that bores me and to dance naked over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

Now I'll freely admit I don't actually do this, but then I doubt many people would honestly say I was grown up either!

Each month of this calendar has one of these type pictures, and they make me giggle so much that I thought I should share them. So every month this year, be prepared to be updated with the latest comedy calendar picture. This is January's:




I hope this provides you with as much amusement as it does me!

2007 POTW

I feel a need to go and sit in the corner and think about what I've done... It's the first phrase of the week of 2007 and I've only just round to it... Oops.

POTW this week is:
[object] made of cheese!

This has to be accompanied by an action reminiscent of mouse whiskers (i.e. having your hands next to face and wiggling your fingers). I'd also like to point out that it's not my fault, I didn't do it! Anna did it when she decided that cheesecake was cake made of cheese back in October. Since then, Tone has somewhat adopted this phrase, and uses it to refer to music, tv, the muppets, and pretty much anything else!

Happy 2007!

Hello one and all and welcome to the new and improved 2007 version of Munchkin Country! Ok, the new and improved thing mught not be quite so accurate, due it being neither new or improved, but it sounded rubbish otherwise! Anyway, happy 2007 everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year, filled with much food, friends and general shinyness. This year I will endeavour to keep POTW updated more regularly and to post more comedy pictures and/or videos as and when they come into my possession. I'm also going to try to complain less, especially about work, but we'll see how long that lasts...

There will at some point be comedy new year pictures, including me dressed as a reindeer christmas tree fairy with at least one drink in my hand (I spent most of the night with a drink in each hand, although they were very rarely both mine!). Until then, you'll have to find another way to amuse yourself!
