“God, Conor you’re very funny. I was reading that post you did about, what was it? last night. How do you come up with your ideas for the blog. It’s about food isn’t it? That one last week, what was it? God, it was so funny. How do you think of the things you say, like, eh, eh, eh. What was it about again? You know the one you did.

I’m not a big man. I stand about 5′ 8″ in my socks (not a sight you would want to see).

After over 20 years of marriage to the same lady, I have grown to learn that some promises are easier to make than to keep. Before leaving the office for the gym, I gave my word that when I got home I would cook the fish. I also undertook to do it quickly. Things went wrong. The spinach I had planned to use had gone off.
