Real Hip Hop from the Brighton street
Hello again.
As usual - a few things today. Firstly - feel free to contact me about using the advertising space over on the left. Do you like my tasteful banner? I think it’s the bees knees. Which is a weird saying. Do Bees have knees? I don’t understand.
Gloria and me (I, whoever) did a 10k on Sunday. I wasn’t as fast as Neil but I managed less than an hour this time. I am happy about that. It does mean that I am now aiming for less than 50 minutes next time though. Which seems a bit unlikely. Maybe if I actually train for the next one I might get closer. It was a great run though - we ran through Clumber Park and it’s very nice! It was also a great way to start the day. I was not feeling well before we started - a bit of man flu - but was fine after running 10k.
Next thing - our church runs a thing called Reality (where did we get that name from?!) once a month. October was the first one. It went really well! I did the talk and it was the first time I changed what I was going to say completely during the songs just before the talk. I think it went ok though. Some girls from a group we run called Chill were there. Not church kids in anyway. They were funny. They cheered at everything…
Final thing. A while ago I mentioned some funny t-shirts I saw. Well - I saw another one a bit ago that I forgot to mention. It reminded me of a talk Jonny did at camp. I thought the website would be fantastic but there are loads of other t-shirts on there that aren’t so great! Their tagline is genius tough - “We make stupid stuff so you don’t have to.”
Sorry to be the first to comment on my own post but I’m finding some great t-shirts now!
I quite like a few of their t-shirts. Not sure I’d wear them but I did chuckle at the following;
Boys like me cause I’m pritty.
Rock is dead. Long live paper and scissors.
You say I’m a bitch like it’s a bad thing.
I also like the Peas on Earth one but it’s a bit of a visual gag.
I have the Peas on Earth as my wallpaper at the moment.
I like the ‘I can’t feel my face’ one.
But I’ve got the “When good teeth go bad” as my desktop at work…
It might win me kudos with Dr Grey. He’s a sucker for dental play on words

That one’s my favourite so far, it was a sunday school favourite!
Lucy loves the whole ‘boys are stupid’ range they do, and she’s got the ‘Boys like me cuz I’m pretty’ one as an air freshener in her car, which looks weird when I drive it on my own and people look in. I wink at them.
Another day, another car cuts me off, another one pulls out right infront of me. And I have ear ach in my left ear. Also, the screen of my mp3 player has smashed. Also, was sat in on a rubbish clinic today which a doctor who blames absolutly everything on reflux, even tho it clearly wassnt. But good news as well-the new radiohead album is available to download tomorrw! It wont help me ear ach tho (which he would also say is down to reflux). I didnt find the Peas on earth funny-I suppose I had already guessed what the image would be before I saw it. My ear still hurts, perhaps I should stop pking my finger in it.
Pete doesn’t sound very happy today. Let’s all tell him jokes to cheer him up…
Heard this joke on the radio yesterday;
A man is driving along in his car (Pete’s gonna hate this joke already) when he gets pulled over by a Policeman. “Excuse me sir” says the copper, “did you know your wife fell out of the car half a mile ago?” “Thank goodness for that” says the man. “I thought I’d gone deaf”
Hence why I don’t listen to HallamFM.
Or there’s this one… I’m fairly sure Pete will hate it too
The Pope, a schoolboy and George Dubya Bush are in a plane. Suddenly the pilot suffers a heart attack and the craft takes a nosedive. As the engines sputter, the three passengers try to stay calm.
‘Well,’ says the Pope, ‘we have established that none of us can land this baby, so we’re going to have to jump for it.’
‘But there are only two parachutes,’ says the boy, pointing to a pile of bundles by the exit.
Without hesitating, George Bush rushes over to them, takes one and shouts: ‘I am the President of the United States of America. I am the world’s most powerful leader. And apart from that, I am the most intelligent President in the history of my country. I have a responsibility to my people not to die.’
With that, he leaps out of the plane.
Now the Pope turns calmly to the schoolboy and says: ‘I am already old. I have already lived my life as a good person and a priest. There is a place for me in heaven. I insist you take the last parachute.’
‘No need,’ says the boy, ‘America’s most intelligent President has taken my schoolbag…’
Or this one… I’m ashamed to say I chuckled like a school boy when I heard it…
A woman gets on a bus with her baby. As she pays for her ticket, the bus driver says: “That’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen. Ugh!”
The woman sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!”
The man says: “You shouldn’t take that. You tell him off – go ahead, I’ll hold your monkey.”
Oh dear. Funny looks all round as I sit here giggling at that joke…
the monkeys in my office didn’t think that joke was funny, but they couldn’t come up with a better one.
