Ms Fits is an irritatingly smug 32 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Pompous nobjockey.

THU13SEP

A simply splendid man.





I've been lucky enough to stay with two very welcoming and handsome fellows over here in the UK and yesterday morning was sitting with one in the living area while the other prepared himself in the bathroom for a day's work. After a moment I realised there were noises other than showers and hairdryers and clip-cloppy jar lids being opened and that a low murmur of conversation could be heard from behind the bathroom door.




Me: Jim?



Jim: Mm?



Me: Is Will talking to himself in the bathroom?



Jim: Probably. He does that sometimes.



Me: Right.



Jim: It's that or singing. He likes to sing to himself when he's getting ready.



Me: Fair enough.



Will emerges from bathroom, looking dashing.




Will: 'Morning.



Me: You look lovely.



Will: Thank you.



Me: Can I just ask...



Will: Yes?



Me: Were you talking to yourself rather loudly in there?



Will: (frowning) I'm not sure. Was I? Could you hear talking?



Me: A little bit.



Pause.



Will: Oh yes, that's right. I believe I was looking in the mirror and saying 'It's Britney, bitch'.



Me: .......



Will: In a variety of voices and accents.



Me: God you're wonderful.





****************************



I don't know why, but just the thought of this has utterly delighted me and I wanted to share it with you. Now I have done so and may carry on with my day unburdened.



62 days til the next election.

You know what this is all about, surely? Will is totally obsessed with Chris Crocker right now. I spent all yesterday afternoon watching this video.

He is channeling.... that is great.. I must admit that I too have been known to sing along to her new song.. where she says "It's Britney Bitch" at the beginning... It seems Will has just taken it to the next level - sans music.

I hope I'm doing this right to go to Friday q and a.
I have a question for you:
I would dearly love to get myself a cat, possibly due to too much time spent on cuteoverload.com and Lort Smith Animal Hospital website. The thought of having a cosy little furball pet is hard to resist, however there are some obstacles:
1) vegetarian - how to reconcile this with feeding cat proper kitty food
2) allergic to cats
3) commitment-phobic
4) Family reluctant to cat-sit
5) workmate warns I will become a crazy cat-lady.
Any advice gratefully received.

This has nothing to do with your latest piece, but I love your blog.
You're awesome.
I'm a fan.
You would not be a whore, even if you lived in Moreland.

That's lovely. I want to share it with you too. I can't, because it didn't happen to me, but it's the thought that counts.

And five years from now Will will be a deshevelled boozer walking down the street wildly waving his arms screaming "bastard" at the top of his lungs.
London has world class nutters.

Surely you didn't let them get away with that!

/me watches a tumbleweed roll by... Nothing to see here, move along... /me cues up "I'm bored" from the patchy "Face Values" album by Iggy Pop.

In my head this Will character is played by Rupert Everett. And I can see how that would work nicely..

If you've got a wet afternoon spare don't forget to pop into the Tate Gallery and check out the Turners- a whole wing devoted to his paintings. And should you by any chance feel like an ale afterwards try a bottle - or if it's on draught even better yum yum - of Theakston's Old Peculiar Yorkshire Ale.
The label depicts a man hanging upside down. This is relevant! Cheers!

Umm hello, this is not (particularly) relevant to any of the lovely Ms Fits posts about her European sojourn, but thought some of you would like to know that me: "in love with fellow band member, but it can never be" and fellow band member are makin' whoopie in spectacular fashion...So, I guess never say never is good advice. And I hope it brings smiles to all of your faces, because I can't begin to wipe it off mine.

I was just thinking nothing good was going to happen today... tough day at the office etc.
But to anon above - it indeed brought a smile to my face and a glimmer of hope to my wasted heart.

You deserve every happiness

Nice.

ms fits, as a longtime reader and medium term london resident, i am most curious as to how you are spending your time here while you're in town. have you been to the ten bells in spitalfields? brick lane on a sunday? seen pete and the pirates or vincent vincent and the villains? eated a sugared mouse? whizzed down the thames on the tate-to-tate boat? gazed back across the river at st paul's from the bar at the top of the tate modern? gorged yourself at borough market on a saturday? had the cocktail of your life at loungelover? and if not, then what?
