A story unfolds
So, we phoned them up. Somehow they managed to track us down through an estate agent. You see, the remembered that we lived in Emerson Valley and our drive was to the side of our property. This was all the information they used to track us down. Scary. They were, however, under the illusion that we had actually sold our house. Much to our own disappointment, we haven’t. But it’s still the Christmas fallout and it’s snowing. Once the monotony sets in I’m sure we’ll have floods of viewings. Once they are aware that the house was formerly owned by a ‘web superstar’ they’ll be gagging to buy it. Think of the historical significance!
Last night we had a Jamie Oliver cod dinner recipe for dinner. Tasty though it was, both Helen and I had both been violently sick by 3am. Helen was feeling a little worse for wear in the pub and proceeded to throw her guts up on way home. My, slightly more solid guts waited until I was tucked up in bed before hurling me out into the freezing cold that is a house in winter in the early hours. I don’t know if it was a dodgy cod or whether it just wasn’t cooked for long enough. Either way, my throat is in agony this morning. I made it in, Helen didn’t.
The Girls Aloud track ‘Sound of the underground’ is actually quite catchy. I like the James Bond/Dick Dale style guitar hook. Even better than that, the new Electric 6 track ‘Danger Danger, High Voltage’ is just too cool for words.
This site went down for a short period yesterday. I have no idea why.

I came across your site yesterday when I was looking for somewhere to have a party in Milton Keynes at http://www.google.co.uk. Have you heard of it? It’s an amazing search engine.
Anyway, I read some of the stuff and had a look at the artwork. I hope you don’t mind. I found the story about that house in Buckingham really interesting – can I come back and read more about it?
I hope I didn’t bring your site down by looking.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs S Handling.

So it was the fish!! It’s always the fish. When I called at your house last night it did leave a strong aroma, I suspect that it wasn’t very fresh. Plus if you followed a Jamie Oliver recipe what cooking time did it suggest, “Just bung it in the pan, go and have a beer and then it should be ok.” Pukka…….not! Still, there is something vaguely humourous about you having to get up at 3am in the cold and spew your guts. I have a slightly dark sense of humour you see…

Shay,
Yes – the fish. Cod in breadcrumbs is the way forward undoubtedly. Probably best that I do the cooking of anything that isn’t veg from now on.
Mrs Handling,
Thank you for your kind comments. Of course you can read my site – that’s why it’s there. Yes I have heard of Google. It’s quite good isn’t it? My site is listed on there quite a lot. The best place to ‘part’ in Milton Keynes is Oxford. No, seriously – it depends what you like. Oceana is probably the safest option as it’s got a wide (for Milton Keynes) variety of music.
Shay,
Strange how those two posts came one after another, eh?

Guy, after reading your entire site I must say I find you and Helen’s lives wrist-openingly boring but somehow strangely compelling. I’ll be watching with interest…..

I guess you could call that a compliment. ‘Wrist-openingly boring’ you say. Well, anything I can do help you along..
It’s gonna get confusing having two Harry’s posting to the site though isn’t it? I guess the other one posts as ‘Deans’ though. Anyway, how did you find the site?
Good you took the time to read ‘the entire site’. Bored?

Indeed, but still, the readership is starting to spread which is nice, all you need to do now is link to my page and see if I can generate some traffic. And we’ll have to get some type of image on there, people need to know who’s talking all my bullshit!!

The link is there – under ‘sections’. I’ll do some big up stylee thing later.

Superb, many thanks. You mention Girls aloud, have you seen my post regarding Tatu? Check it out!

Oceana? Is that a fish restaurant? I don’t really fancy fish after reading your story.
Is the music very loud? I need a table for 12 – do they do groups there? It’s our work’s Christmas party (better late than never) so some entertainment would be good. But not dancing – someone might hurt themselves. Someone suggested plate smashing – do you know anywhere we could do that?
Incidentally, Buckingham is a smashing place. You’ll do well to move there.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Handling.

If you want plate smashing, head on over to Wolverton. There’s a Greek restuarant there. Can’t remember the name. I expect Shay will know as his mate Richard went there not too long ago. Good the way you got the word ‘smashing’ in two contexts within the same paragraph!
January 9th, 2003 at 11:23 am
I must have smashing on the brain, mustn’t I?
I need to turn the Internet off now as I have to go to work. Thank you for the information.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Handling.
