I'd wish L.E a happy birthday, but she deleted us all from off her Facebook Errr

I deleted everyone... did you ask me to be your friend again? No! So neh!

Happy birthday, Ellie! :)

Because I was so heartbroken Teary

"Reservoir Dogs" sounds a bit like "Crocodile Shoes".

Both have animals in the title.

Both are two word titles.

First word, three syllables. Second word, one.

Both second words are plural.

Jimmy Nail could be confused with another Brit who was in "Reservoir Dogs", Tim Roth.

Nail and Roth are one syllable each.

Tim is short for Timothy, so both first names end with a Y.

Both actors have odd teeth.

They've both excelled at playing working class characters.

Both are past their heyday as far as their fame/reputations go in the UK.

Jimmy Nail played a tough cop in "Spender", just as Roth did in "Reservoir Dogs".

Nail often appeared with Tim Spall (Another Tim!), who is a Mike Leigh favourite. One of Roth's best roles was in Mike Leigh's "Meantime".

I could go on... :)

The first few reasons are very sensible and I agree whole heartedly.
But NO ONE could confuse haggard old scary giant Jimmy Nail with quite handsome and compact Tim Roth. And their names don't seem similar to me at all.

I think the person was just grabbing a name out of thin air, to be honest.

Unless... it was you?

Sunny day + Gordon = sunburn

I saw him on a documentary once being rude and unplesant to a member of the public for no reason whatsoever. He's a twat.

IKEA kit + Gordon's DIY talent = CD rack

This is the only quiz show I'd ever consider appearing on, with the original host, of course.

Jimmy, or Timmy?

Feel a bit conflicted at the moment.

Got a good job, with the chance to progress in the future if I wantned. Not sure I'm good at it but I'm well passed my trial period haven't been fired yet. I sort of just fell into my current job and would be unlikely to get similar role elsewhere.

Want to try the overseas working holiday thing but due to a medical condtion, can't do some of the traditional backpacker jobs.

If I did try the overseas thing and it failed and I had to come home, I would be unlikely to get a job as good as I have now...or a job at all.

Don't want to end up "failing at life" but don't want to regret not trying something either. :S

Brother sooty opens the bible of online freelancing

And prepares to preach

Halleleujah!

Seriously the only thing that stops me travelling the world working from my laptop

Is I am both lazy and racist

I don't think you'd be failing at life if you left the travelling for another five years, or 10, or whatever! There's time to do everything.
You can always go abroad for a few weeks a year in the meantime.

Difficult one. Essentially, it comes down to your happiness.

Are you happy?

If not, do something to change it.
