This is the story of Arthur and Mabel and how one day Mabel found herself altogether dismayed that her inadvertent actions had … [Read more…]
I was genuinely looking forward to taking my youngest child to the doctors; honest I was. I don’t often get to do the everyday hum-drum things as I’m usually at work, or in hiding, so when the little things like this crop up, I like to do them to help out – particularly if my … [Read more…]
My wife loads the dishwasher like a drunken mental patient. One would be forgiven for thinking that she stands at the bottom of the garden and shot-puts the spoons in from there; that she drunkenly bowls the plates in overarm. After my betrothed has drop-kicked all the tea things in, the inside of my dishwasher looks … [Read more…]
My 5-year old daughter won’t stop staring at my man junk when I’m in the shower and it’s PROPERLY weirding me out. She’s just so blasé about it for God’s sake! Everywhere my Rodger goes, she’s sure to promptly follow. She’s like the Mona Lisa of nob monitoring. I feel like I’ve got willy CCTV. … [Read more…]

The seasoned, season-card-holder of all things nobacious, can generally do his or her thang, regardless of the seemingly banal nature … [Read more…]
After three bottles of ale mid-week, it appears I agreed to take my daughter to her dance class on Saturday morning, so that my wife could attend a thoughtlessly booked hair appointment. I think I may have been set up? A faux-double booking, to foster me leaving the house and attempting to be ‘normal’. I did contemplate … [Read more…]
It is no secret that I will avoid most human interaction, if at all possible. It’s not that I don’t like people per say, rather that I find human interaction somewhat bothersome, and thus would much prefer to spontaneously burst my appendix than talk. Despite Bob’s ascertains, it is not good, it’s hard. So I tend to stay … [Read more…]
