And there's me naively thinking that you just write the book and approach publishers with it Show's what I know!

Ah, well, I write magazine articles for a living. Books is just me 'obby.

I'm green and slimey becuase

1) My nasel passages have turned up the production of mucus to extraordinary levels

2) My head is being squeezed in a vice

3) I'm slightly hungover too

4) After a few nights out I am completely skint and I have 3 weeks to payday

5) my credit card bill sucks. Where's a lottery win when you need it?

6) I've got no more gigs lined up

Im getting paid £400 more than what I did last month!!

Its still £550 less than my outgoings will be

Ah come on you lot, look on the bright side....

This thread isn't ABOUT the bright side...

Sometimes, there's just no lights at the end of the tunnel. There's no sugar-coating. And no hope. That's when you feel all green and slimey!

I suppose so, at least now I've got the bar job, I can work a 40 hour week with my normal job, 6 hours of bars and 4 hours of tutoring.

I feel so much better now I've got so little time to waste my money in.

But this is the green and slimy thread!

...that hollow sound when you answer the phone that just tells you the person at the other end is going to be based in Manilla and won't get even close to pronouncing your name....

....the assistants in Holland and Barret who always ask when I have brought 4 bottles of ginger cordial to the counter "do you want a bag" (no I will carry a couple of them in my teeth).....

....Oxford City Car Parks where you now have to type your reg nummber in before you can get a ticket so that you can't pass it on to somebody else if you under run.......

.....the parents who let their children use Sainsburys as a playground, some of them on roller skates - in a supermarket......

..........Sainsburys management who wait until you get comfortable with finding the baked beans and then move them - 8 aisles away.....

.........I want to dip them all in the foulest green slime...
.... and I haven't really got started yet...

Never hath a truer word been spoken and yes a green and slimey thread is a much needed "glass is half empty" outlet.

And remember a pessimist is never disappointed

I tried....

However, you could choke on a fish bone and get a horrible spasm due to the lime's acid, causing you to stop breathing for 2 minutes. The shock of which causes all your hair to fall out and you run up a huge debt with failed hair transplant operations for years to come.

The green and slimey thread consists of nothing but the dark side of life. There's no place in here for pink fluffyness.
