P.S.. S.A.D..


One other thing from yesterday that I wanted to share with you - another classic quote-of-all-quotes from Jared..
I’d been drunkenly moaning about how awful the August weather has been. I said that the main problem was that I need bright summers to build up my resistance against winter depression. Because there was so little sun in the past few weeks, I said, I could already feel the onset of S.A.D.
After staring at blank faces around the table, I went on to explain as clearly as I could about Seasonal Affective Disorder. Following a brief pause, a sickly-smiling Jared said “I had a rough weekend with a girl from Yarmouth, and left her with a kind of S.A.D……. Sticky Arse Disease.”
And the families at the tables around us tutted and huffed.
And the supermarket masses roared with delight.
And people wonder why I don’t work there anymore.
See you in September
