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...

   The 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, it's an Office fans mecca. I'll share with you a handful of my favourite posts from fanboys below. Or girls, they could be a woman. Women are as filthy as men. Not naming any names - I don't know any - but women are dirty.


   Following on from the above posts, I thought it was time to put my money where my mouth is. Not that I'd ever shouted my mouth off about posting to the group. In total the 3 posts above garnered 4.1k likes plus... 4.1k like tops! But how many could I achieve with the same amount of posts? 5k? 6k?

   The answer? 36, or something like that over all. And that included friends and family liking out of sympathy. My most successful post, with 75% of the likes, a landslide you might say, is below. Monkeh!


   Request to join the group and you could be accepted at your peril. As for every Tom Fox, Gaz Black and Matt Yerosimou there's a Susan Baskett, and the good people of DYNKWEHI are punishing when it comes to a really rubbish post. Just see Susan's mad ramblings about a DVD player below. To be fair, it was a DVD of Ricky Gervais' 'Life on the Road', so she got what she deserved.

Christmas Time...

...Mistletoe and Wine, Who's watching Michael Heseltine? With his dog on the fire, cos it shat on the tree,  Time to get Anne to make him some tea. No idea what Cliff meant by any of that, but it does make me feel festive. Truth be told, I actually love this time of year. Without breaking into song again, it's time to both reflect and look to the future. If 2014 has taught me one thing, it has to be the hours you can save opening a pizza correctly: For me, pre-2014 pizza delivery always involved scissors, which in turn always involved finding scissors and not running whilst holding them. Little did I know about the other technique, akin to opening a packet of pre-washed baby leaf spinach, until my parents sat me down and pointed out my shortcomings. Whilst this alone provides me with the essentials to make it in the big wide world, there's no point getting ahead of myself. Priorities for 2015 include overcoming my fear of the bell not sounding when I pr...

As If I'd Never Been Away

   The time has come to put ink to quill, and subsequently quill to paper, metaphorically speaking. Now that Christmas, New Year's and Valentine's Day are out of the way, I can get back to where I left off in 2014. The last 745 days haven't passed without incident. Far from it... 2015 - I turned 28 - Took a trip to the land down under - Finally won employee of the month outright - Rode shotgun along The Autobahn - Lost my wallet on a train - Celebrated turning 28 1/2 - Bore witness to the magic of the FA Cup - Burnt a chocolate bar in a microwave - Hit up NYC 2016 - Turned 29 - Wrote a new poem (see below) - Failed to master Spanish - Voted 'Remain' - Explored South America - Spent a harrowing 43 hours on a single bus journey - Made it to 29 1/2 - Trekked Machu Picchu - Climbed Colca Canyon - Walked a Puma - Retrieved my stolen wallet in a nightclub (the replacement wallet to that mentioned above) - Expe...
