I Went To Brazil...

...and all you got was this lousy blog post! Count yourselves lucky.

Where to start? Well firstly, this has been the best World Cup in living memory. To put that into context, I started remembering World Cup's around 1998. On the horizon are some massive semis, the hardest of which is probably Brazil's. Given how far each team has 'cum' though, they'll all be looking at their respective 'drawers' with a big grin etched across their faces.

That's enough rubbish cock innuendos for one day!

I spent two weeks in Ceará, the self-proclaimed 'County Durham of Brazil'. It's nickname concerns the geographical location rather than any regional dialect. To be fair, I understood more of what was being said here than the last time I visited the birthplace of modern English mustard in the North East of England. I even learnt a new phrase, escovar os dentes. No idea why people kept shouting it at me though.

Upon my voyage I was accompanied by two other guys. To protect them from such real dangers as online phishing and celebrity paedophiles, I've altered their names in this post to Nollie & Bobbie. On reflection it's bit of a redundant act, as after this paragraph I don't mention them again.

We spent our days in the capital, Fortaleza, and also found time to head up the coast to both Cumbucu and Jericoacoara. If this were a travel blog I'd be singing the praises of all of these places right now, but it isn't...so I'm not.

Rather than bore you with reams of holiday snaps, I've included a link for you here to browse at your own leisure. The below makes it in though, as through sheer luck we managed to stumble across the one spot on Earth where the sun's light creates an almost mythical path across the ocean.

Totally tropical

Of course, it wouldn't be a hastily thrown together blog post about Brazil if I didn't mention the ladies and my word, some were definite Wawaweewa's. For those unversed in Kazakh, or unfamiliar with the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the Wawaweewa is:
  • Wawaweewa = part time supermodel/full time regular model/Argentinian waitress (delete as applicable)
  • Wawawee = you've got the brains, you've even got the looks, but your odour's slightly offputting
  • Wawa = potential Wawawee, were it not for the missing limb/overactive bladder/weeping eye 
  • Wa = wouldn't touch with a barge poll (if I had a barge poll) for fear of infecting the barge poll
Thankfully, everyone seemed to be having a lovely time though.

How did you fair with the ladies I hear you ask (despite the fact I've already pre-written this?) Well, put it this way, the hottest woman I locked lips with turned out to be a man... Anyway, I'd say the whole experience has made me a more laid back and thoughtful person. 

'Was it all plain sailing?' asks somebody else, from somewhere. Well, actually, no. I suffered Caipirinha induced nightmares during the trip, such as being kidnapped by a cleverly disguised Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse, and losing my job over an affair I had with former kids TV presenter Josie d'Arby. Before and after photos clearly show the toll these episodes had:


It's a minor miracle that nothing was lost during the holiday, except for a small slice of dignity and all of our luggage on the way home (both of which are true.) I've also caught the travelling bug, by which I mean the bug to travel and not HIV/Aids, which if I'm being totally frank, I've not been checked for in a while.

I thought I'd sign off this blog post with a game of Spot the Difference, mainly because I've not done so before and I've two similar looking photos. There's no prizes so feel free to ignore. Legally I should point out that one of the faces has been altered, again to protect the individual concerned from nonces:

Calling All Office Fans

    Who's been to the Coventry Conference? Ah yes, the fictional Coventry Conference, co-ordinated by the equally fictional Eric Hitchmough . A man whom I've never fictionally met, or even seen, yet know so much about. From his little withered hand, the wanking claw , to his signature catchphrase, ' I don't agree with that in the workplace !' Eric is... and that is what I want.    If I've lost you, I can only assume you're not quite the fan of The Office that I called for in the title of this post, or I'm not the writer that I think I am! Allow me to explain...    T he Office is the single greatest sitcom of all time, sure, so it makes sense for it's legion of fans to have a social outlet to congregate and quote the show to their heart's content. The Facebook group ' Do You Not Know Who ERIC HITCHMOUGH Is' ,  DYNKWEHI , provides such a platform.    With it's mix of quality quoting, imaginative imagery and creative commenting,...

"Do Another Blog Post"...

...was the strange demand I thought I heard today, as I walked past a rabble of hoodlums on my way to the Co-op to buy a pre-packaged sandwich for work tomorrow. "OK" I replied nervously, without really considering if I either wanted to or had the time. What followed was a more aggressive "Do another fucking blog post!", from a knife-wielding member of the group. It was at this point I realised I had my headphones in and couldn't make out what they'd actually been saying. I quickened my pace, in fear I'd misread the situation completely and they were high and wanted to sexually abuse me. Given that my blog only has 4 followers it is likely they were talking about something else entirely, but the thought of doing another post had been implanted and as I walked a different route home it was all I could think about. I recalled foolishly mentioning in my my last post that I'd review Potdog , the bunless hotdog, and also create my very own alternati...

Dad's Got Kidney Stones...

...which is insensitive of him to say the least. Free lifts to work are completely out of the window for next few weeks, and whilst he struggles through a simple out patient procedure, I've got to get up 45 minutes earlier to catch the bus. That's 5 whole snoozes on a standard alarm clock. Talking of work, there's been some exciting developments in the past month. I'm now 99% certain that it's Audi who employ me and not Aldi , although the fact both are German still leaves me with that indistinguishable nagging doubt.  Secondly, as of next week, ' Tommy the weird temp ' becomes ' Tommy the permanent ' in a new role. It's a radical shake-up, the likes of which haven't been seen on these shores since March 19th 2014. I am of course referring here to Cliff D'Arcy's use of the term 'biggest shake-up' in a headline about  budgets and pensions . It might just be me, but since my meteoric rise through the ranks of the ...
