Now, see, the problem with water dispensers is that the hot is too hot and the cold is too cold, if they work at all. For example: I’ve been sitting here for at least fifteen minutes with hot Lipton tea on my lap, and having tested the temperature a few seconds ago, I scalded my tongue. Call me crazy but… that’s not right. Wonderful! But seriously, I have very little much Robin Hood to say today, but I was kept up all night with an amusing list of things I’ve argued with everybody about in the past. It gets ridiculous, but here’s a teaser:
My telephone number
The definition of the word ‘legal’
Whether or not I should still have Little John’s underwear in my drawer
Arguments: yes, arguments over arguments
“Get your hands off me – you’re freezing.”
The colour of the little thing that cleans your toilet water
British English and American English
Miracle cures for the common cold
Sugar or milk going in your tea first
What Twitter is for
My feelings for other people
The question that has the answer “forty two”
The plural of ‘moose’
If that green mercedes had enough fuel to get to Denmark
The birds and the bees
Whose minion Little John’s cat was when we were kids
Which icecream van
Need I go on? I’d start sounding like Mil Milligan if I did – great author, look him up! Now, Robin Hood: I’m hoping to get some charity work in tomorrow, or Monday. A friend of mine goes to a lot of poverty-stricken places and helps with projects to raise money, like bear making, and bag making. I’ll be dropping in as myself to help her out a lot more than usual not that my work period is done for quite some time. Exams are over, y’see.
Okay, so I’m not American, but if I had a penny for every time I hear someone say that… A friend sent me this a few days ago, and I just wanted to tip my hats to the people involved.
This has been quite possibly some of the most boring weeks I’ve had since I started dressing up in tights on the streets. Got into a spot of bother with the police, shall we say? Robin Hood… Can’t be the most popular person, huh? I mean, I break a lotta rules, so do the Merry Men, but it’s not as though we’re out to cause trouble. I’m shaking my head, here, just so you know. The point is, had to hide out, change a couple of fancy things with a techno wiz I now owe many many favours to, and now I’m back to write. Would’ja look at that.
So what’ve I been up to in this time? Like I said, lying low. In all honesty? …Very little. A nip here, a tuck there, actually managed to patch up one or two things with Little John. Even spent some time over at his place – which, at one point, earned me a ride in the huge washing machine, thank you very much Thom Wolfe (not) – and stayed a little longer and no, don’t expect me to go into any more details here, no way, NOT gonna happen. You want smut or whatever you want to call what may or may not have happened, you go somewhere else. Long story short, you might be seeing some collaborations coming along soon, which means the police will have their hands full so I hope the boys in blue are up for a challenge. Sorry guys, but the fact is we’ve got a lot of catching up to do in our final goal.
Oh, and we’ve even had some interest in that big project I mentioned a few blogs back, this one: http://thenottinghamconspiracy.wordpress.com/2009/04/17/promises-promises/, about the mass dressing-up-as-Robin-Hood-for-Make-Poverty-History. And when I say Robin Hood, I mean the real guy, who I’m damn sure existed, not me. I have three, four people geared up? Which is more than I was expecting, I have to say, so I’d love it if more people jumped in. I even made a handy Facebook Event so you can join and invite people, the link to which is on the sidebar. I’ve gone on and on about the poverty in the UK (and hey, even the world) so many times and maybe you don’t want to hear it again but maybe I’m still going to say it. With the right effort, we could eradicate poverty by 2015. Who’s with me? The money we need pays for either another Euro Disney, or millions of improved lives… I know which I’d choose any day, sorry Disney.
Keep reading folks. Special word out to Joey and Mr. Red, the last two to comment, thanks for the support.
