It was great - reminded me of the first 20 minutes of so of Funny Games. BTW, Bignuts, have you seen Michael Haneke's other laugh-fest Time of the Wolf? Right up your street, I'd reckon.

Meanwhile, more than 157 dead so far by car bombs in Baghdad today. 115 of them by one bomb.

They really ought to be considering banning cars over there. Obviously terribly dangerous things, cars.

And! And! There's probably enough cars over there to fill six football pitches. Equivalent to 26 double decker buses, no doubt.

Is this supposed to be... I dunno... satirical or something? I mean - the 150 dead is the leading story on BBC News at the moment so it's not like it's not being reported, or that there's no interest just because the victims aren't westerners.

The idea behind it was that - with 'Zygote' being essentially very 'rapey' - the Doctor in the story would, inevitably, end up molesting or getting jacked off by the STD-ridden woman in the examining room. Instead, he remains professional and diagnoses the problem, before reducing himself to an inane racial slur then going for a kebab.
On re-reading it, I feel that I have let myself down considerably, but, you know.

Is anyone else going to submit a troubling playlet? I'm in dire need of a good laugh. I sent my girlfriend a pretty explicit email earlier and she's worried that it's going to land her in a spot of bother with work. Hence, no sex for me tonight.

I bet it's nowhere near as saucy as the kind of thing I email to my girlfriend.

They absolutely refused to let me onto the platform for the 7.44 today without a reservation, but apparently I can get any train after 7.55. Which is OK – means I can have a lie in and there’s no danger of me missing a train and then being all like “Argh! I can’t get on til 9.00”. So I got the 7.58 and got into work at 8.40. Simple and effective.
*boner*

If we get to see the email. Go on, I need my life livening up at the moment. The most exciting thing I've done all day is buy a mac (coat, not computer). Though it's not black, so I suppose you could name that as a pretty momentous step forward.

Sorry, no can do. I did just send the following creeping text message though:
Hi. Apologies for sending that email earlier - I didn't realise it had gone to your work email address until it had been sent. At least there were no swear words in it. Are you still my friend? xx
Fifteen minutes have passed now. Looks like Zygote's in the 'bad books'.

If she can resist that level of wounded puppy, she's a hard woman, Zygote. Though, that said, if she's currently posting that on a Handbag-type relationships board somewhere on the internet, I can guarantee all the responses are saying 'Duh, he's so not worth you, girlfriend! Don't give in, he's obviously a bastard'. Only without quite such accurate spelling, probably.

She hasn't got internet access at work (save for a very limited period during lunchtime), or at home, so I'm probably safe from the anti-bastard ramblings of relationships board feminists. She's replied now though, so everything's back on track. My pathetic, limp text message worked. Quite gutted now, because I was bracing myself for a night out with 'the lads'. Oh well.
