Shite-a-light 

A prank where newspaper is placed on a doorstep, shat on, then set on fire before knocking on the door and running away to hide. The aim is for the houseowner to stamp out the fire and get shit on their shoe. Good times.

Shine a light 

I guess it’s quite obvious

A little tired of fuckery

As I said before .. I am a recluse

I like it that way .. for now anyway as plenty to keep me occupied …

I bother nobody

This is a response

I only wanted to respond to one person

And find out if that was this person and … if she wants me all to herself

There would be no other

Not in this lifetime ..

So why am I mr fucking popular? And it’s not all love and light … that’s clear .. but as I’ve publicly stated .. these are the obvious ones … and if so interested … here’s my take on you …

So strange how people act after reading … like a completely different clone …

Same people walk past my house at least 6 times a day … with dogs … school run … random looks then look away fast when I clock them … sometimes I leave the house just for the experience

Other days I don’t as happier in my headspace .. not yours …

Sad that I feel I have to .. shine a light …
Shine a light ... then if you want honey … we burn bright ..

All yours …

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
