Agreed. Mind you I haven't got a motorbike so it's easy for me to say that. |

| I heard a lot of gossip in some of my workplaces. Some of it was pretty malicious stuff and it was hard to see how their victims could have deserved it. Sad to say, the worst offenders with slandering the innocent were white and homogenous. When I started working in a mixed-race environment the chat... |

| They at least have the gumption to say the words "I don't know," which I've never heard locally. Yes I've seen a sense of total certainty in a number of doctors in Arkansas. It's hard to imagine anybody could be that good. It's ironic that one of the core principles of science is that we'... |

| I hate the exclusionism thing. I saw this policewoman walk up to two policemen and ask "what's the situation?" and they just ignored her. It's like McCarthyism where you suddenly find you can't get a job and nobody will tell you why. An Iranian bloke I knew went after a job in Iran, some t... |

That's me in a nutshell.  Slagging off the world keeps me sane. |

We've got one of those for at least the next 10 days. I know better than to go out in it, but it's going to cramp my style. They should put Arkansas in an air-conditioned dome. |

That sounds like ASD. Mind-blindness can be infuriating. |

You'd like the cooling units they have in Arkansas. I think I'd be dead by now without one. |

| At school we were supposed to work in pairs for practical chemistry, but there was an odd number of kids and I was somehow the one who ended up partnerless. So then I'd ask the teacher what to do, and he said go and join another pair. But the pairs I asked weren't happy about that, and when I did ge... |

I get Linda McCarney vegetarian country pies from Sainsbury's, but I'm wary of microwaving them because it doesn't mention that way on the box and I sense it could go horribly wrong. Thing about heating them in the oven is that by t... |

You can wash my dishes if you're missing the work. As long as I don't have to pay. I reckon you should pay me because I'd be doing you a favour. |

I'm probably too much of a perfectionist, or I've been watching too many TV shows where some of the characters have personable coming out of their ears, and of course that's not genuine, but it somet... |
