Thursday 11th Jan - Rock on Tommy

As you may have notice on the brief profile part of this blog (just under the picture of Count Arthur Strong) I describe myself as a 40 year old amateur writer (and I am).  Due to my age I was brought up watching such TV personalities as Cannon & Ball.  This leads me on to today's main topic of conversation; My colleague Tom had suggested he wanted to buy some braces. One of my female colleagues thought he meant them for his teeth, and I wondered why or even how anyone bought them for your teeth.  Its not like you can just casually walk into a supermarket's Dental aisle and pick them out.  Also, its not the first thing you think of when you get paid - 'my teeth look a bit crooked this morning, I must remember to buy some braces for my teeth today!'  Now why anyone would want to buy braces of either kind is beyond me; they're not exactly the height of 21st century fashion (unless I missed that conversation).  Anyway, in my haste to try and be funny about it I suggested that maybe he was thinking of forming a double act with someone in tribute to the British comedy duo Cannon & Ball. This, i have to say, went down quicker than a pair of trousers not being held up by said braces.
In the afternoon I came back from lunch and asked "did you miss me?" A few people said yes, to which I replied "you'll have to get a better rifle then".  I'm not really known for my quick wit at work but for me that was pretty quick.
