» How I Skive Off Work

not so much sciving...
... but I have recently spent the last month off work due to car accident. I think Stevie Wonder was driving the car that pulled across my path on a particularly dodgy A road. At 60mph. Needless to say I was injured in the inevitable crash and have spent 4 rather boring weeks at home. It still hurts, but I count myself very lucky. Drive carefully. Or else bad things happen. So there.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
A guy I work with used to have long hair, all the way down to his arse... he's reasonably tall, but a bit on the light side.

Another bloke at work and I heard he'd just had his head shaved... not just cut short, but a complete skin-head. We figured he'd look like an AIDS victim. Who wouldn't. Ahem. Anyway, we changed the wallpaper on his PC to some pretty gross picture of an AIDS victim, made Bruce Springsteen's 'The Streets of Philadelphia' play when his PC was first turned on and his homepage set to the Terence Higgins Trust. Really childish stuff like that.

Ever since, he's been know as 'Mr. AIDS', 'AIDS Victim', just 'Victim' and of course, 'HIV'. Delightful.
