The one with Derren Brown
I’m a bit late to the party with this one, but due to boredom last night when I came home, I decided to watch Derren Brown attempt to stick a load of people to sofas, without the aid of superglue, ropes or bodily fluids.
After about 5 minutes I got bored as I felt they were only milking the time for the inevitable last 5 minutes. So, I fast forwarded to the end. Well to the part where he was about to glue holes on seats. I followed the instructions, watched the 1 minute video which consisted of a white screen with circling light grey lines. Then Brown came back on screen telling me I should be stuck. Much to my amazement, I wasn’t stuck, but at the same time I found it incredibly difficult to get up. After about 10 seconds I was free and figured it was worth another go. So out with the remote again and rewind. I didn’t spend as much time watching Brown go through his spiel this time and no joy. Nothing. I was able to get up off the couch with no effort. Nothing holding me down or whatever.
Being a bit disappointed I figured it was worth one more go. So I watched all the instructions and had another go. And fuck me. Wedged to the couch. Couldn’t get up at all. It was a bizarre experience. After about 2 minutes I was able to crawl up and then all was back to normal. To be honest I was a bit sceptical about it, but when it happened I was fuckin blown away. Unlike the people in his studio who looked so strained I thought they were trying to shit out a small ocean liner, I wasn’t completely glued to the couch, but I couldn’t get my ass more than an inch upwards.
Thankfully I didn't have to call out or more than likely yell out to the sleeping wife in case it all went horribly wrong, where I had visions of a fire crew cutting me out of a couch. There a better ways to get stuck to a couch particularly a leather one, but this was pretty impressive and not as messy.

The one with express checkouts
I wonder where do these dopes think they are? Does a tiny express checkout look like the big ones? It must do for some people. Granted the 10 others in the queue had only a sandwich or a drink, so obviously they were in the know. Equally, the individual behind the till should have said "No Dice". Whats the point in having an express checkout when thick, ignorant gobshites hold the entire shop up, but their stupidity and ignorance. Its like the people out there who think that the radio is "talking to them and no one else". At the end of the day I laugh it off from the radio perspective, but in the express checkout scenario I really need someone to come up and give me a whole dose of strength!

The one with the end
Going back to the shed part though. Maybe its an urge to break free from not only blogs, but the internet. Go back to nature. Plough the garden, plant some flowers and paint sheds! When life was simpiler. And all the postman delievered was a few bills as opposed to boxes off shit I don't need that have been purchased on ebay.
So I'm giving up the internet and all that goes with it.
Laters........
Oh well, that lasted all of 3 seconds. Its amazing when you struggle with a blog post what mundane shit you can come up with. Anyways, meant to post this yesterday but...
Quality stuff!
