the fashion police... norris cometh

he's here again. berating john now on his apparent lack of change. it's a different shirt norris... don't come in here with your rubber truncheon and doc martins stamping on our faces... no norris! no!

a reprimand from the fashion police

note-- this is a post from yesterday, but there was a problem with blogger..

norris has just given me a caution at coffee for wearing a blue shirt and green (i'd call it drab olive) trousers. i've got to be honest: i don't really plan my wardrobe -- it kind of just happens in the mornings. however, i thought i didn't look too bad -- and john assures me that i'm not 'clashing' (whatever that means).

i wore these clothes mainly because it's a warm day: and the trousers are loose, and the shirt cooling to the chest and arm area. john has been kind enough to provide a snapshot of said items. what do you think?

ps- norris is in the office now... continuing to berate me over choice of outfit. quote: "technically those trousers don't really go with that shirt".

...lets hope that norris approves today. quote: "a much better effort".

best news i've had all day

this is the best news i've seen today. perhaps all year. one word: EMU.

BBC headline : "Emu set for television comeback"

apparently: "Toby Hull will bring the wayward bird back to life in a 26-part comedy series, called Emu, to be shown on children's channel CITV next year."
