Whilst on the enforced sabbatical I read far more David Sedaris than usual


This was a near perfect solution, here he reads an extract from one of his books (I'm on my third )





And what with the ******mas lights going on today also very topical


Lah lah...




W**F




Duh, calm down ...

Hmmm maybe ! but a Quality load of pretentious @#$%& , though after the exhausting experience of reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" a tip toe around a David Sedaris is a most delightful mind garden of banality.


"Dress your family in corduroy & denim" is better than MTPOD in MHO



W**F

I love David Sedaris....and was quite a fan of both me talk pretty one day and dress your family....

But I hated Barrel Fever with a passion...it lacked the realism and sincerity of his other work - I just felt it went for cheap dirty laughs (that's the one where he has a fantasy about dating Mike Tyson right?).

yes, the mike tyson one


Dons story still has me chuckling away on the 21st read


If you can get inside the head of a dope smoking layabout who does nothing but watch US TV and read the national enquirer to fill in his long days, then its makes sense. Theres lots of US celeb references that ideally would require a bit of background knowledge to appreciate but may mean nothing to some


innit

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
