all the good that won't come out of me

About Me


As the mildly observant of you have already realised I am a male human named Josh. I was born in the nineteen hundreds and have survived into the 21st century with plenty of psychological damage but a physically capable body, all the while feigning a degree of intelligence and being generally quite skinny.
I've had an inconvenient schooling situation which consisted of me coasting through until it all went to shit, think I was fifteen at the time I left Kingsbrook School, which is now a "Business and Enterprise College" apparently... it's really just slightly crap a school in reality. Anyway, home tuition and Milton Keynes college later... it's still going to shit, which is a bit of a shame isn't it?

I can be difficult, for which I apologse but I claim to be well meaning and on occasions very nice indeed. I can be funny too, as in 'ha ha' funny progressing (or should that be regressing?) to 'weird' funny. Which you can laugh at too... I suppose. And then hopefully back to 'ha ha' funny.

There's more I could say about myself but I doubt it would be anymore interesting than what I've already wrote which is surely a remarkable failing on my part. Anyhow, to summarize: I'm bloody lovely, quietly an utter mess, always seem to point out my flaws for very little reason and sometimes, if you're lucky, reasonable company.

P.S. If you're reading this and want to give me a wonderful job feel free to let me know!

My Interests

A little wild rabbit lives in my garden. It's probably not the smartest of bunnies, small dog will get it sooner or later :-(

A chav kid asked me if I was a greebo last year. I told him if he could tell me what exactly a greebo is, I'd be able to tell him if I was one or not. Turns out a greebo "is someone who drinks all day, wears black, slits their wrists, does crack and worships hell", so no, based on that I'm not a greebo.

Oh my God! I think I have a fan. Some kid today asked me if I was a greebo - he must have read this and been inspired. I asked him if I'm a greebo, what is he? He said "I'm.. a.. chav." Ha ha, is it?

At the weekend I found out I can hang upside down on the cross bar of a swing set by the tops of my feet, a bit like a bat. I think it's a fantastic accomplishment and am rightfully proud.

I'd like to meet:

Heroes:

- A man went in to rob a bank. He demanded the clerk to give him all the money. They told him to go sit out in his car and they would bring him the bags of money. He agreed and went out to his car. In the meantime, the people in the bank called the police. When they got there the man was still sitting in his car waiting for the money and they arrested him.
That bank clerk is my hero :D
