My brother, the English graduate...

Ah yes. Mon petit frere. Graduated from Manchester with an English degree (2.i; everyone said he should have got a first). Bit of a brain box in that respect. Talking with ma mere about his career:

Chris: I'm going to ingratiate myself with the senior managers.
M: Oh, not ingratiate. It makes you sound like Uriah Heep.
Chris: I'm not a heap.

Bless.

Fluffing Squeen

I have now been dubbed the Fluffing Squeen, due to my ability to fluff fake greenery so it looks marginally less fake. My talents are many and varied... I feel this may be on a par with being able to resuscitate small plastic babies.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
