A fish is about to start to change seas today, so I just wanted to make a little tribute to her and the school that swam around her for a while, in that area so close to Chitty Street (ignoring for a second our millions of unique users, if they forgive us). Even if some of these were only heard through the tin can telephone wire.... from across town now.
HERE'S TO THE CRAZY ONES:
- Who defy all tube etiquette by delivering three full throttle kicks and a side of verbal threats to their fellow tube passengers
- Who create handbags around feminine care products on their Sunday afternoons to demonstrate the possibilities of brand experience
- Who stake out their space on day 1 within the first hour of their arrival by pinning up revealing personal photos and drawings
- Who allege to keep a Superman suit in their closet in case of wardrobe malfunction
- Who will travel to the far ends of Armenia by horse drawn cart for the sake of increasing their learning curve
- Who specialised below the waist for far too many years and are unafraid of words like panty crotch pronounced awkwardly by middle-aged German men
- Who spell zebra with an X
- Who can pull off Cruella Deville with a french effortless that leaves all fancy dress contestants in the dust...even if she never got the alleged prize
- Who reach their breaking point over mayonnaise covered hands and a homeless man asking for another burger please
- Who boldy go where no woman has gone since the 1970s with green eyeshadow- Who tell you what they like to do is....
- Who eat digestives in a cup of milk for breakfast everyday but stay skinny minny
- Who stalk celebrities during their now infamous coffee breaks
- Who make the mis-guided decision to trim their own fringe the day before the work photo
- Who self-publish their own glowing appraisal to build the team
- Who tell the client they're "fucked up" to a crowd of silent cheers
- Who have another one
- Who delete another one
- Who travel to foreign countries to see syndicated asian export performed live on stage
- Who can't understand each other half the time and spell lose as loose as a matter of course
- Who take being the victim of a hit & run sneeze release with a thank you
- Who hop instead of dance, who ramble instead of talk, who impart not advice, but genious wisdom, who can't follow a map to save their bloody lives
- Who know Geneva like the back of their aching hand
- And who always, always, always know to keep the candy dish full

beautiful. i don't know whether to laugh or to cry or to do both simultaneously.
it's always wonderful when pandora comes out to play.
again you may not post often but when you do....solid gold. Love it. The end of an era, indeed but hopefully we are all still friends when hell freezes over so our nearest and dearest can be present when God tips up for our wedding. nice one.
you know the rules. don't be tryin' to break them.
There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too,
And up in the nurs'ry an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "coocoo".
Regretfully they tell us,
But firmly they compel us
To say goodby to you.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.
So long, farewell, Au'voir, auf wiedersehen,
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, goodbye,
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye,
Good bye
I'm glad to go,
I cannot tell a lie.
I flit, I float,
I fleetly flee, I fly.
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye!
DON'T FLUSH!! DON'T FLUSH!! SHE'S STILL BREATHING!!
Now that I've recovered from my shock over the discovery of life amongst the fishes, I applaud this post!! The insightfulness is spot-on, albeit, a bit frightening.
Consider me enchanted.
P.S. - please tell blogger spellcheck to BACK-OFF!! "Insightfulness" IS a word, as confirmed by the C.B.S. dictionary. Typepad would know better.
