It's a well written article.

Poetic almost.

The words flow softly down the page.

The short, punchy sentences create a hypnotising rhythm.

Hyphens are artistically used where commas would suffice.

Sentences are artistically started with "and".

I bet the author wears a beret.

Joe.

And - a pony tail

Just changed that ever so slightly for you. More artistic now.
 
The only thing you're missing is a bunch of dodgy metaphors. "a spilling bottle of muddy varnish"... blimey.

yes, let me know how it goes.

You'll also get some 3-4 hour gaps, where you can't go anywhere as you need to check it every hour, which leaves perfect time slots for, gaming, not606 and porn.

It's like you've known me my whole life.

We are men and fundamentally when stripped back we are the same but at different stages of ruin by women. Some core habits remain:

Gaming - I hardly play now, but I blame kids and marriage. I am someone who was outside the store doors waiting on the day Tomb Raider II was launched when I was 23/24
Porn - you just don't grow out of it and we were given a penis for a reason
Football talk - the oxygen of work and social time

and that leaves drinking and women, both of which will eventually ruin us or kill us.

I barely do any gaming either, but that's mainly down to not being particularly inspired by any games right now. I'm in a good place with the drinking and the women though. Actually with the women it's a bit of a weird and often frustrating place, but at least it's interesting, in comparison to the past few years when I just didn't put myself out there and it was boring. If any of the above are going to kill me it'll probably be the drinking, but right now I'm handling weekday drinking and work hangovers surprisingly well so I'm happy with that.

Don't start me off on Bear Grylls, or I'll go off on one of my rare but quite satisfying rants. I've already had one this week, and one is enough. I'm trying to reduce to monthly.

That was last month, you're clear.

I must admit that the name does sound vaguely like something you might pick up for a barbeque.

Oh, can I have half a dozen of those bear grills, please..?

Now if you substitute Ray Mears, instead you don't get that impression.
 
Forgot about this topic. I'm bored and would like to poke LTL with a stick a little. I know Bear's shows are pretty staged, what with the hotels, pre-built rafts, camera crews with real food and ****, etc. but he does teach you some pretty interesting ****, and there are unlikely scenarios in which things he's showed me could save my life. When I was off work sick the other week I watched a lot of Bear Grylls. A lot.

Also the bit where he caught a catfish with his bare hands was metal as ****.
 
I've got a good thing going with the baguette man that comes by my workplace. I said to him I don't like cheese so he saves me one of the better baguettes (e.g. gammon salad, chicken, stuffing and cranberry sauce, hoisin duck etc). :)
