Back in the Office

28 Jul

Having returned to the office I am hourly (never mind daily) provided with much entertainment. So many quotes I would love to share, too many, some of which I fear would translate badly if you didn’t know the people and some ‘you had to be there’ moments. So I shall be selective!

As he picks up a toblerone…

Cheese- This is an offensive weapon not a bloody chocolate

Directed at Mullet as he walks out of my office

Boss – Do you have exceptionally large testicles?

Then ensues a brief conversation, upon it’s ending mullet returns to his desk…moments later

Boss – I bet you have an indescribable amount of pubic hair

Nut sends me this picture with the following message

Nut – Does this look right or is it supposed to be the other way round like a lamp?

Lowry – Lets put it this way, this conversation is going to be on my blog by the end of the day

Nut – Hahahhahahah didn’t think look right

Lowry – Think about it like this-it’s a light shade…what is it shading?! Ps I’ll sort it when I get home!

The Princess

21 Jul

While sat on my knee in the office, receiving a cheeky back massage (she is pregnant and likes to guilt me with ‘but the baby wants it’)…

Princess – would it be ok if I farted?

Lowry – Honestly? Are you really asking me this question?

Princess – At least I asked

Lowry – How about you stand up ad turn away from me

Princess – Don’t worry the moment has passed, I’ve reabsorbed it

What art does is coax us away from the mechanical to the miraculous

Upon waking after a night out

Slut – Do you have any water?

HRH – We don’t have water but I can give you tea or coffee

Slut – Surely you must have water if you can make tea

Candy Bar Girls

15 Jul

Lowry – Dude, I’m watching that Candy Bar show – did you see it?

Furby – Haa, no, I haven’t been at home for more than an hour since last Monday! I intend to though, is it awful?

Lowry – To be honest it’s not quite as bad as I imagined..it was a moment of acceptance for me that these are what real lesbians are like and maybe I am one of them and not my own private species of lesbian (Although I am not fully convinced of this)

Furby – Hahaha. I had a moment like that last night…think we’re just gonna have to deal with it

Lowry – But I don’t want to! However if we do maybe we will have a girlfriend that is a) actually suitable and not lacking in interesting conversation b) emotionally stable (ish) c) have an acceptable level of maturity d) not straight

Surf and Turf

15 Jul

From Campus Channel 4

Matt Beer – Trust me, I’ve been inside more women than I have newsagent, think surf and turf

Flatpack – What, is that a sexual thing?

Matt Beer – Um, no.  Women are the sea, the surf, their minds are always shifting, their bodies like the tide are ruled by the pull of the moon.  Now women have

Flatpack – What big nipples?

Matt Beer – Some of them, yeah.  I was thinking more, you know, hidden depths where dark and dangerous things lurk, but in their shallows you’ll be safe

Flatpack – Ok so I’ll just keep it shallow then

Matt Beer – Well I never go in deeper than my knees but if you want more you have to be prepared to venture out of your depths, where in all likelihood you will get sucked down by a vicious undercurrent and get swept out into the endless black ocean of the female psyche, where…sadly you will drown

Flatpack – Fuck

Matt Beer – Yeah

Flatpack – So whats the turf bit?

Matt Beer – Right that’s us, men, thick solid sods of earth that get under your nails, what you see is what you get

And Then You

13 Jul

‘And then there was you…..And you were there but I was still unsure as to who you were.  I feared the continued contradictions and chose to focus on the parts I liked and made me feel safe.  I never doubted I made you happy, I believe that was clear to see, I doubted if it would ever be enough.  Situations frustrated me, yet I understood that it is life and I have to get on with it’

Beautifully Sad…Little Dragon
