I was going to go to Hong Kong for half term. Looks like I’m changing my plans for Uganda instead.

What could possibly go wrong?

I remember those, but never had the 'pleasure' of eating one. My mom and dad would have considered them a waste of 'good' money. We never even had any rice dishes to eat as kids - as in ever. My folks are Irish and 'therefore' had an insane fascination with boiling the very life out of potatoes, as well as designing all meals around those potatoes. It was essential that any other vegetables were also boiled to death too. It's almost as if they considered them to be satanic and in need of cleansing. I tell you what, Opus Dei were weak pussy cats as far as my folks were concerned.

Sounds like my upbringing! The day I brought a Vesta chicken curry into the house was just another sign that I was on the road to ruin. Add that to long hair, addiction  to heavy rock music, the embassy fags, lager drinking and worst of all the coloured underwear and it was obvious no good was going to come of me. Opus Dei and Scottish Presbyterianism arnt so different!

It'll be an interesting experience, that's for sure.

Yes, I've heard about Scottish Presbyterianism before. Sounds worse than a strict RC upbringing. What a load of fucking twaddle. Why do people 'force' others in to religion. That's mental, and religion is probably up there with it, in any case. It's a mad world;

Euphemism? 

The thing with the gravy was actually really to 'capture' the 'goodness' in the water. Now, I'm not completely convinced that my mom knew all about vitamins and their healthiness. I've never seen my dad cook anything. He just sat at the table waiting. I used to help my mom cook and wash up all the time because I knew that my dad and my brothers would just sit there like ignorant bastards and wait for my mom to come in from work and cook for them straight away. However, all I was taught was to boil the bastard daylights out of vegetables, and perform a scorched earth approach to the cooking of any meat. Nothing was to end up resembling what it had originally looked like. That was the 'unspoken' motto.

Anyway, here's your next ink splatter;

 

Thoughts? 

I've awoke sober. These tests take on a much more accurate reading regards how I'm wired up when sober.  Thus making such test very scary. I shall answer regardless. 

It reminds me of one of my metatarsals. 

(Unfortunate day yesterday in which i managed to break a bone in my foot)

I cook for my dad once a week, he still complains the veg is not cooked. Bless. 😂

OK, I'll stop with the ink tests. All i wanted to do was to get in to your mind and have a look around in it! The only reason for that is that I'm bored of my own. I certainly had no intentions of scaring you. I'm now guessing that this post will have done that very thing, in any case! Rorschach didn't know what he was talking about anyway. A bit like myself.

My younger self and equally stoned mate once participated in a psychology test for another friend. She was studying the subject and wondered if we'd help out. In our fog of smoke we thought it funny to try and give the craziest answers we could. She got back to us with the results and revealed we were completely avaragely boringly normal. She smiled and left our confused faces to muse over that. I must confess she was much smarter than the two stoners and it took us a while to figure out her excellent double bluff.🤣

Excellent double bluff.

I once won an opportunity to be given hypnosis for anything I wanted. It was done via the local rag, and was for people to be hypnotised by people just about to qualify in that field. Anyway, the night before I was due to go, somebody gave me a fucking bosting e (this was in the late 90's). Anyway, i went to the session where there was this bloke about to qualify in hypnotherapy, being judged by a specialist in that area. Could he get me to sleep? Could he bollocks! I so felt for the bloke. I think I may have ruined his life! I'd actually forgotten all about that until now. Now i'm going to have to beat myself up all evening, in a Roman Catholic guilt trip stylee! Ho hum.

Unfortunately there is often 'collateral damage' in some of life's most amusing moments. I have often had to eat the humble pie on occasions. Apologising profusely is not uncommon.

Picture my amazing partner at a small festival, sat at a table having her Tarot Cards read. The table was adorned with Crystals and other psychics paraphernalia. I approached with my most special walk, one eye closed and listing so far to the left I defied gravity. My only defence being it was day two of festival. I very carefully placed my pint on the table so as not to spill a drop, I chose the words for my introduction from a truly addled brain. 

"I'm a bit special"  was what came out.

"You'd best sit down my dear" was the gracious reply from the Psychic lady.

This acceptance filled me with much excitement and my brain then instructed my arms to flail about in celebration. The pint went over everything. Tarot cards and crystals literally floating away on a little beer tsunami. Her face told me that I had just destroyed her entire life, my significant others face told me my life was soon to be destroyed. Now quick thinking was needed to get myself out of bother and maybe a little joke to ease the tension.

"Didn't see that coming did ya" 

My chums and even significant other did smile, albeit briefly. The next day was spent tracking down the lady to offer my apologies and compensate for any lasting damage. Again she was absolutely amazing and let me know she'd seen worse, even that weekend.

I'm not sure if my tangents annoy you or not. Do they?

Oh, that's great news. I was kind of under the impression that I'd pissed you off somehow, way back. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. 

Anyway, I can't really help going off on tangents. Mostly it's because I have very little musical knowledge, and this is a heavily music based site. However, with this thread, and in my defence, I did start off posting on topic, because it really had occurred to me that many people would steer clear of Chinese take aways. What happened after that and how I got on to ink blots is beyond me too. I think i'll claim the 5th on that one.

I've run out of up votes. Great story. Would have loved to have been a fly on the, the, the something, watching that. And to have the audacity to say " Didn't see that coming did ya" after that spectacular performance is truly the work of a genius.

To get back on topic I have just got back from a wander about town. This wander was to secure myself some supper after an afternoon of DIY. I was fully intending a quick fix from the Chinese Takeaway. But for reasons I don't fully understand and can only assume to be subliminal. I walked straight past Chinese Takeaway. I then found myself in a convenience shop buying cheese and crackers.  This action may forfeit the original 'survey'. My apologies for confusion. 😁

Mrs Ommadawn and myself are tucking in to the set meal for two (C2 on the menu if you're interested) from one of our local Chinese takeaways. I didn't like to mention Corona Virus. Shop was as busy as usual.

OK, OK, I'll admit it, it's me, it's me - I'm the person that would actually run past your Chinese take away. I've got more cheap white masks on all at once this end, that my own head is actually drooping forward, with the weight of the white masks. My own head drooping forward is nothing new to me, however. One could say that it's almost an occupational hazard. I find my head drooping at the best of times eg.  when that there Corolavirus wasn't around. The bloody bastard sticky stuff. Down with sticky, down with the causes of sticky. Unless it's a quick sly one, and you simply can't help yourself. Anyway, I digress. Actually 

STOP PRESS _ 

 

got visitors, so must dash.. Lucky you.

Move over Philip Schofield, because I'm coming through, darling. 

My apologies Philip, it was just that I was following through, as it happens.
