Felders' Blog

…where Joel was, I’d like to assure you he’s doing very well - and indeed flourishing under his new care in the community regime.

What an UNBELIEVABLE Wimbledon final.

I’m sorry to see Roger Federer lose, who I was whole-heartedly supporting, but I can’t take anything away from an extraordinary Rafa victory.

Dashing home from Surrey in a rain-break, I discovered the game was back on when I reached Waterloo. This required a stop at the pub inside the station where, it seemed, it had all become a bit too much for Peter Hain MP too, who had taken refuge by the bar amidst the excitement.

I made it home during the last rain break, well in time to jump around my living room like an idiot.

Well done to both players - what other sport can keep up the excitement and nerves of a penalty shoot-out for an hour at a time?

Brilliant.

aren’t shown enough.

You know, the next time you look at someone and think ‘wow you’re amazing’, say ‘wow, you’re amazing’.

The next time someone says someone and makes you feel really happy - say, ‘wow, you’ve just made me really happy’.

I mean, you don’t have to say ‘wow’ quite so much, but I really think people don’t do this enough. I possibly do it too much, which just makes people think you’re insincere - even though I always mean it.

Bit too earnest for one of my blog posts, to be honest, but I think it’s worthwhile.

For some time now, I have been curious about the true identity of Terry Sperm, a person - presumably but not necessarily a man - who used to frequently comment on this very blog.

He also has rather a good site himself - www.terrysperm.com.

Now, I want to know two things - 1) Is he still alive? and 2) Was he the same Terry Sperm that my flatmate noticed had contributed to Viz?

Terry, if you’re out there, please answer both of these questions.

Love and spunk,

Felders

Thank heavens.

This article refers to the horrible expression that seems to be used all the time these days: ‘going forward’.

I can’t bear it - having to go to quite a lot of office meetings, this definitely seems to be the phrase du jour - ‘going forward, we should do x…’

What’s wrong with ‘we should do x’? You’re not going to do it backwards are you. Fucking idiots.
