Well well, I really am struggling to find anything good about this sport I once loved to play. This time however, poor old Marlon King (sob sob I hear) has really done it this time. What a tool (yes, how American of me) but really what a nob head. Check this out
Another classic is from a very clean KFC in London, read this.
Well it looks like I'll be getting the first riding of the season in about 3 weeks, going to Sälen.
Work is hotting up (in no way connected to the weather) and hopefully in less than 2 weeks I'll have my first paper printed (well I'm not first author, but still, my name is on the paper) : )
Not really anything overly funny, interesting to say. My new name at work is Ed. No, nothing to do with special ed (ucation in US) or dick head, or actually anything close. Basically, as I'm the only English person in my lab, I get the pleasure (yes, ahem) of proof reading everyones papers etc, as they assume just because I'm English that I am indeed a human dictionary and a fountain of knowledge of well, everything. Erm....hmmm. So this name comes from my new side job as the 'editor', or for ease on (or off I suppose) the tongue, simply 'Ed'.
Note. My other colleagues also have names (well besides the ones they were born with). We have Bob- this is based on my Professor saying this particular guy should stop body-building. Now this guy is pretty big but in no way a body-builder. So he inadvertently said 'I'm not a body-builder, more like just a builder.' So we went a bit further with this and obviously led us to Bob the Builder, or simply Bob.
We also have P. I'm not going to go in to details, but he is also known as Stinky P. Really, don't ask any questions!!
The former named Bro is now called X to the G. The only info I'm releasing here is that he is Chinese (no there is absolutely no taking the piss, racism, sexism, whateverelseism). Just simple names, completely innocent.
One guy opted for Pete (just as a random name). We told him only premature people are called Pete (yes, premature Pete.....seriously, you wouldn't believe how many people don't get this), yet the name has stayed.
In conclusion (haha, yes I'm in work mode still) I might legally have to change my name to Mike Sven Ed John Thorpesson. Kind of catchy, don't you think?!
