Read It and Weep

People used to joke that Hallmark had a card for every occasion. But we know the truth. The US-based Someecards.com is where to go for all your holiday and non-holiday needs. I once dumped a guy with the “Take some time to be alone with your penis” card, which was - from what I hear - exactly what he did.

Someecards is possibly one of the best wastes of a working hour known to us, and we at UJ have made a business out of surfing the net. Now, you can go public
with their witticisms with their new T-shirt range from Busted tees. My trainer’s getting the “Thought you should know I totally busted my pecs today” shirt, while my crackberry-addicted ex will be receiving the “I’m terrified of being offline”.

Myself, I was caught between getting the “I’m seeking a complete stranger for a drunken, sloppy public make out” (but that might be a little difficult for a bloke to read when he is cross-eyed drunk) and the entirely obvious “I have no STDs” shirt, but then realised the US to English translations might be confusing. (For the record, make out = snog and STDs = STIs. Now you know.)

So instead I’m going for the brief – yet entirely truthful - “I’d f*ck me”.

Well, I would.

some completely brilliant t-shirts on busted tees - the one that made me laugh loudest was "Pedro lacks political experience".
Priceless.

  • Espionage

    I'm a stalker.  This isn't news. Anyone I've ever dated would tell you that, at some point in time, I've put my foot in it: admitting I know the name of their siblings, how their dad lost the family business, or how they have a serious online poker problem.

  • Drag 'n' Drop

    It is completely beyond me that someone has yet to invent a Hangover Delivery Service. Ok, maybe not the delivery of banging headaches, nausea, and loss of memory (clearly the name needs a little work), but a one-stop Hangover Cure Provider.

  • State of Affairs

    An old boyfriend of mine had a funny way of judging women. He’d peer into their handbags. “State of her purse equals state of her bush,” he’d singsong.

  • Texas Hold 'er Down

    Watch out for the wily blonde with no morals. Hi. After a road-trip to Vegas, it has been universally declared by the residents of Nevada that I am no longer allowed to gamble.

  • The Real Deal

    Is there anything more fun than finding a flat in London? Assuming you’ve narrowed down the location and calculated your actual maximum budget (depressing in itself), you’re then left with two torturous options…
