Things you'd like to say, but can't

[Profpointy]

Strangely enough, I'm not a 'weirdo' just because I prefer French/Nordic films and dramas to X Factor and EastEnders. This doesn't me a 'snob' - it just means I like something different to you, and judging by the fact that the BBC and other channels purchase the programmes repeatedly would suggest I'm not alone.

(Actually, shouldn't really have posted that - because I did say it).

I love highbrow Scandinavian art movies : Swedish Nympho Slaves is a classic

My 2 female colleagues think I am weird for not watching soaps, talent shows etc... I prefer comedy and documentaries which teach me things so if that makes me weird so be it at least my brain is beind stimulated.

I am weird too then. I have not watched a soap for about 15 years and I can't stand talent shows. Give me a good box set and I am happy.

As it happens, I always used the title as a euphemism for a certain category of "art-movie", and only later discovered it was a real film.
Isn't it a Jean Rollins move, a genuine "auteur" albeit specialising in rather surreal, if seedy, niche movies, so probably has some merit despite the title.

Mate,your misses is struggling to keep an over excited 3 year old occupied whilst she's trying to feed a new born. All you've done for the last 30 minutes is stare at the Wendy ball on the TV and roll cigarettes. Pay your children and misses some attention you waste of space.

Just a pity they don't teach you how to spell properly!!

How professional.
Please stop referring to all staff as "guys" and stop saying "yeah" after every sentence.

Yeah, sorry guys.... Yeah.

This iPad seems to cause various typos of my own, I get it, but I usually edit them when I notice them

I have been closely involved with this Project for four years. Now you have chosen to close it. Would it have been a good idea to tell me personally, or even by email, rather than just my reading about the closure in a mail shot?

Please do not expect any help from me as regards the practical aspects of the closure.

I thought it would be difficult for you to make things even worse than they already are.

However, I now know that I seriously underestimated your total lack of communication skills. Your feeble attempt at an apology is mind-boggling in it's rudeness and shows that you put exactly zero seconds into composing it.

Please do not expect a reply from me, other than my input into an official complaint that someone else will be sending you.

Sorry that Potsy has upset you again, Wol. Would you like me to steal his spotty tights?

Err, no that will not be necessary. Orange tights with purple and green spots do not really suit me.

Anyway he is so short that there are now ladders in them.

Actually I love drinking beer. Actually I love going to bars and pubs. Í do it all the time. But only with people I like. So, yes, I'll be going for a long run again tonight rather than coming out with you lot.
-and-
Actually I'd love a beer. Actually I'd love to meet you in that bar at half-eight. But you will then spend the next two hours talking shop and bitching about things we cant change, and bitching about them (see above) and about things which, with the benefit of hindsight, we coulda/shoulda/woulda done differently last year, and winding yourself up, and after a year of providing coaching and mentoring to you for free, I'm done. So, yes, I'll be going for a long run again tonight, and then I'll read a book in my hotel room on my own, whilst listening to Radio Four, and maybe even do some work, rather than meeting you in the pub, because much as I like you, and I really do, YOU.ARE.EXHAUSTING.
-and-
You don't like the numbers? They are not my numbers, I just report them. Sack me then, it would be a mercy. As day-to-day I feel like a dead man walking.

I thought the Danes were the perfect people.

I understand that bit. I like beer, I like socialising. But the idea of swilling cheap lager in a succession of bad pubs to the point of vomiting with a bunch of people whose only common point of conversation is to slag off those not there is not for me.

Is beer cheap in Denmark? I'd have assumed not.
