Is back and now sports a dhuti - a male sarong.
He makes good latte and also plays the tin whistle!!
He swears a lot at work and there is now a 'swear box', very Asda, which he has contributed to on many occasions. We were in the midst of a conversation about certain words...such as the C word which is particularly frowned upon, by some folk, but Man in Shorts protested. He said it's in Chaucer and y'know it's a nice thing.
Don't need to discuss such things in an open plan office - or in an office full stop - or such things, wherever you are, I kinda said - trying hard to pretend to be all politically correct 'n' coy.
So I've given him a challenge - it's my quest to empower the male - to find out whether the F word is derived in some kinda way from the word fecund. He says nah but will research it, on my behalf. Yes I could do it myself ... but that would be boring.

About Me
- The latte days in North London
- So like a lot of people due to funding cuts etc etc I find myself at 42 on the scrap heap. 16 years of experience working in further education....and tbh it wasn't a career choice that I planned after University. I just landed a job and continued to work in the sector going from project to project. Not very exciting you might think and many times I thought the same. So for one reason or another I find myself looking for that job that will excite, entice and appreciate my knowledge and skills. You'd think it was a no brainer but interviews are getting tougher and tougher and no candidate is left unscathed by the process, I'm going to ue this blog to feedback and reflect on each of my interviews and maybe I will learn something on the way on how to clinch that job.

He's right about Chaucer, although the word actually used was "quaint". By a system of euphemistic transference the alternative spellings have come to mean such different things, but it makes me chuckle everytime I hear someone trying to be posh and describing something as quaint. I can't recall the history of the F word but I am sure I would have researched it at some time, and would bet your new flat on it not being anything to do with fecund
What a fucking shame, then.
