This Is This

I’m a pretty determined person, but I like to think I’m open to ideas.

You might say I am stubborn (I would say single minded) and a bit controlling (I would say a helpful). Speaking of which, there’s this great joke. I say “Knock, knock” right? Then you say “Who’s there, OK?” And I say “Control freak.” Like that. And then you say “Control freak who?”, yeah?

I’m kind of bad at taking compliments, too.

It’s more than self-effacing, but I don’t know what it is. I don’t like the attention, I guess. Yeah, I know. My blog you’re reading.

But common exchanges go thus

Person: Those are nice trousers, Cliff.

Me: Thank you. Yes. Um. Beige.

Person: (nods)

Here’s a brilliant thing from my collagues in AOL France. They’re really enjoying their professional lives, as you may have read. Just dandy. So good in fact that they made this video 

It’s good to see a few familiar faces having a laugh and I wish them all the best in the future.

This seems a little stereo typical, seeing as bagels are associated with Jewish communities and Jewish people are seen to say “oi” a lot as an exclamation of dismay.
