Ex-Tabula Rasa

I shall try to define myself in a sentence with a pithy comment at the end:
I'm just an English bloke who lives in Canada after marrying a Canadian lady he met while living in Japan. Yeah, that old cliché.

Shameless Self-Promotion:
My utterly hilarious blog is here
And another one is here

Wow! I'm on Twitter now!
Averaging three stars a tweet since the death of Favrd!

Still Want More?
Email me for fun and frolics*! My address goes along the lines of Japanese (dot) smoth (@) gmail (dot) com. *Actual ratio of fun to frolics may vary.

jerrybrito: Newt Gingrich sitting on a rock. In 1993 Newt Gingrich’s staff decided to play a practical joke on him. Every week they would replace his favourite pair of trousers with an identical pair that was a quarter of an inch shorter in the legs. The difference was small enough that on a weekly basis he didn’t notice the shortening of his pants, but over time it became obviously clear that his trousers were far too small for him, leg-wise. After six months, Newt became convinced that he was experiencing another growth spurt, and that in time he would become a giant. This photograph was taken two months after the first trouser replacement. When Newt discovered the truth, eighteen months and nineteen and a half inches later, he fired all of his staff and had their wives killed.
