| The main benefit of my DX was to get me out of a tricky situation that had developed at work. They were trying to shove me into a kind of work I'd never been hired to do, and it involved quite a few things that Aspies notoriously struggle with. I'd been getting a bit of criticism for my performance,... |

| There was "The Friendly Giant" - a school friend introduced me to it when I was about 12. I was a bit surprised he liked it at his age, but the show wasn't without features of interest. From it I learned that you can figure out how far away a thunderclap is by counting the time between the... |

| Even if it isn't, it's better to call it something that might needle the owners. The Stanley Tools bosses used to get annoyed when people said "Stanley's Tools." Anyway, I don't know why they brag about how many countries they've got shops in. MuckDonalds has spread all over the world but ... |

Maybe they got fed up of changing the sign every time they invaded a new country. |

| Aye, it's great round here for music. And the tourist season is starting so I'll be spoilt for choice soon. Back in the UK, it's all shut down in the town I came from, apart from one new place that's bucking the trend. |

Get a bath, a haircut, and a job, you hippy communist.
Just a minute, I see what you mean now. You know about the water. Now I feel I've been ungrateful. But I'm still going to post it because it's such a clever come-back line and I don't want all my hard work to go to waste. |

| No water wouldn't stop me having a dump at home. Just flush it when the water comes back on.. Wouldn't be fair on cohabitees. Remember, I'm a gentleman. They're always doing this to us, so I keep getting a reminder about the importance of basic stuff and how bloody grateful I should be for it. Does... |

| Water's stopped coming out of the taps again and I'm going to want to take a dump soon. I'll have to go to Wal-Mart and the place will be very crowded, and I don't even know that their water will be working. Though I suspect it's just the apartments that are affected. The management round here don't... |

| I've known a number of people who say they believe in a god, and none of them have seemed any different to secular folks when it comes to valuing their own lives. But it's a Biblical thing that they're supposed to put themselves last, obey the deity's will whatever crap it gets them into on Earth, a... |
