For Sale

Fair* Trade Coffee.

*Fair does not imply Nestle workers will not be shot, that Nestle is not opposed by western unions, that Nestle will not continue to aggresively market products that are proven to increase the likelihood of infant deaths, that Nestle is not the least responsible company on Earth, or that Nestle's profit from fairtrade will not be invested in their push to buy land from indigenous people so that their profit can be turned into Nestle's own corporate profit.

You also fail to point out that instant coffee tastes shit anyway.

No. I'm off coffee at the moment due to my fucked up heartbeat. Although four glasses of red wine is apparently fine :)

Iain! I notice Mr. Bloggy is nearly one year old. I've been re-reading some of your classic early work.

Meanwhile, certain other blogs are still going strong.

Actually, this is the picture I wanted to post. Looking good there.

I'm still bored :(

My early work is indeed classic. I semi-miss the days when I wasn't trying to do classified adverts. I imagine when I start slacking in a whole new job, I may return to writing complete jibberish about my life.

I also write with far less frequency than before, which I will work on.

As opposed to your dietary deficiencies, mine has improved considerably since splitting cooking duties with a vegetarian girlfriend and developing a two a day samosa habit (brick lane, there's a shop next to 'Sweet and Spicy' which does an orgasmic samosa.)

I'm bored yet busy-ish. Yesterday I was checking out back-catalogues of blogs and yahoogroups I'm a member of. It's a great way to lose time and be nostalgic.

Though I'm surprised you found those photos- did you ever see our group's shite website http://corporatepirates.gzzzt.net/

The outfit I picked myself. The 'Head' record bag on my shoulder is authentic to pirates.

Vegetarian, eh. I bet you're just champing at the bit to come out to suffolk and join in our traditional ox-slaying?

If it's on the internet, I will find it. I'm slightly disturbed like that.

You almost look like Johnny Depp in that picture *heart* *swoon*

ed, you travelled round europe. I am going to madrid soon to stay with my uncle (indeed, lindsey is joining me). Know any good places?

That's if she gets her passport.

When I was in Madrid, aside from getting drunk, I did take a trip to the awe-inspiring Museo del Jamon. Your girlfriend possibly might not like it though.

Also, the Museo de Arte Reina Sofia is good: it's got 'Guernica' in it and everything, plus has amazing lifts, and there was a huge street football game going on in the square outside.

I am jealous you are going to Madrid. Especially as you are staying with your 'unique' uncle.

I have bookmarked the ham museum. Mel will like it. She cooked me some sausages the other day, for when I got home from a long day. She's ace.

I have been to reina sofia after spending a few hours in madrid en route to portugal for the football. Guernica is amazing, and very big.

This is good. You start off on one about Nestle, and we've ended up with me giving you travel tips.

What a bustling hodge-podge this blog is.

"She cooked me some sausages the other day, for when I got home from a long day"

Are these the ones that looked like they had genital warts?

The ham museum isn't actually a museum, but an excellent eatery. Mmm.

7:35 AM  
Blogger Steve Harmison said...

even better. I wouldn't want to eat five hundred year old ham. Well, I'm currently eating tescos value ham, which may well be older if it is actually ham.

yes, they did look like genital warts to the two veggies who delighted in watching them cook. I saw linds when she got in. Very drunk she was. And was insiting that there was a dead mouse in her mousetrap even though it didn't rattle like a dead rodent when it was shaken.

Blogger Edward said...

Value ham! I look forward to seeing you in hospital.

She deserved to be very drunk, forcing my poor anaemic self to drink glass after glass of wine.

Mousetrap? Hmm.

8:07 AM  
Blogger Edward said...

Value ham sounds a bit like valium. I guess both have a similar narcotic effect.

8:10 AM  
Blogger Steve Harmison said...

Yeah, linds attracts them like the pied piper. Think she's trying to liberate them all into her bedroom.

My blog appears to be a rubbish msn messenger now. One day, when I have broadband, i'll get messenger so that I can set it to 'Away' whenever other people are online.

Blogger Edward said...

'a rubbish MSN messenger'

cheers! :(

Blogger Steve Harmison said...

linds doesn't take valium, my entry suggest she may attract them. Though valium might be a humane way of solving the mouse problem, and amusing the house on long-winter nights. We could get a cat on skag and watch them do a monged-out tom and jerry.

Well, if that's the end of that, I'm off home then, to mope around. Woe is indeed me.

If you could see me now, I am miming playing a violin.
Was just going through job applications etc. Got two good looking ones. Might improve my record of having only succeeded in one job interview (in my current job, I came second out of two, but the other person didn't accept. my successful one was for the Inland Revenue, one of the the most popular workplaces in hell)

Good luck with the job hunting. I need a friend with money.

Avoid alcohol while taking Tramadol. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness caused by Tramadol.
