And here is the news ...


*Shuffles papers on desk in an important manner*

Good Evening, I'm Holden McGroin and here are tonight's headlines ...


Girl Interrupted Employed Again

After 3 weeks of pan handling and busking to make ends meet the Blogger known as Girl Interrupted has found employment. Not, as some have speculated, in an abattoir or a pysch ward but as an administrator for a company that assists people with a hearing disability.

When interviewed, Miss Interrupted said "I'm thrilled! It was getting to the stage where I was going to have to seriously consider MacDonald's as a career option ... well, that or grave robbing, but I hate getting my hands dirty ... so that ruled out MacDonald's"

We sent our roving reporter to speak to Miss Interrupted's good blog-chum, Mr London Street:

Roving Reporter: Mr London Street, what do you think about Miss Interrupted's new job? Do you think she's fit to deal with people with hearing disabilities, or is the company just asking for trouble?

Mr London Street: Pardon?


And in other news ...

Miss Wrinkles 2009 Crowned

Doris Norris of Shepherd's Bush has won the coveted award following a dramatic competition.

Beating four other aged lovelies ... there had been six originally but sadly two died during the competition ... Doris lists knitting, spying on the neighbours, overcooking cabbage and incontinence amongst her many fine qualities.

When asked for his thoughts on this year's winner, Bob Mould the compere said "I thought the best pensioner won ... although the crowning ceremony was a little embarrassing, what with Doris' bowel problem ... luckily the winner's throne doubled as a commode and with just a little careful positioning of the other contestants, I think we got away with it"

Conclusive proof there viewers, that in fact, they don't

Hopefully lots of phoning not involved considering the firm's clientele?

Girl Interrupted said...

lol more than you'd think actually, Eric ... should provide some blog-worthy post material :P

J.J. in L.A. said...

Hahaha! Great reporting Ms/Mr (?) McGroin. Not sure whether Holden is a girl's name or not, you know, with all those celebs giving their kids funky names and all.

Congrats again on the job! You're a gentlewoman and a philanthropist. But I have to admit, I was hoping M16 had something to do with guns and stuff. ; )

Mr. Condescending said...

Oh dear god I can't wait to hear about working with these people. I bet its gonna be nonstop laughter!

Hopefully some of them have those old time hearing aids with the plastic cord that wraps around their ear.

~E said...

Ahahaha. "shepherd's bush"!

Vic said...

I'm so happy you got a job! Maybe you can hook Mr. London up with some hearing assistance. :)

I really need Nunchucks!

Nanc Twop said...

Congrats on the new job!

Enjoy a cyber croissant & chai tea on me

;-)

Harmony said...

Sounds like a wonderful job...congrats to you.

Dead Hamster Flu? Made me laugh out loud...the kids love the picture!

diane said...

You had me at "Holden McGroin", but Madonna's "Get the f*ck out of my way" is what finished me off.
Congrats at your new job, I'm sure you'll be brilliant at it. xo

word ver. - beddly - no kidding.

Trinity said...

I had to read the Nunchuck thing twice but it was freaking funny.

Sorry to hear you got a job. Now you will be too busy for me.'tear'

Anonymous said...

Congratulations. The only thing worse than working is not having any money.

mo.stoneskin said...

Is that all MLS could say? "Parden?" I would say that the company is asking for trouble because they will find teeth marks in their jelly.

*thinks long and hard for a moment, why would they have jelly in the office? Nevermind...*

Forget rabbits, actually hamsters have incredible angelic singing voices.

words...words...words... said...

So much here that my review would stretch longer than the post, so I will say just two things...

1. My boss is out all week with the flu, and we will be greeting him Monday all wearing surgical masks.

2. BOB MOULD Bob Mould? Because if so, then we shall have to marry at once.

Prometheus said...

hehe this gold. The images and the captions are both hillarious. I was wondering if you made the images yourself? Those nunchucks made me laugh pretty hard.

Girl Interrupted said...

Thanks to everyone for leaving yet more lovely comments ... I'm off to WORK now (hahaha whoopee) but will be back tonight to reply and catch up on your posts.

Have a lovely day x

Dominica said...

LOL This is THE best job that could ever happened to you !
Now we fellow bloggers/readers are certain that you will have LOADS of material to write about !! hihi

I have this one lady client in my shop that has a hearing problem too and when she's in, I never want to talk loudly but she makes me !!
Even when I talk already very loud and she is just not looking at me (or my lips) she doesn't understand a f*ck of what I am saying. I once had this deaf person as a client and you should try to understand what HE/SHE is saying in that particular voice (known to deaf people) ...Sorry there's no device with sound on this comment thing...
I think we could have a blast hearing everyone giving a comment on your today's post !

The Jules said...

Hope your day went well!

Did they steal your dinner money or try and flush your head down the bog, New Girl?

Lopez said...

Ha! I love this!

What is an abattior?

I love the masks...very clever and before I read M.J.'s caption, I was thinking: 'oh well that's normal'. I will admit, when that SARS outbreak occured a few years back in China...I saw some of the peeps wearing Burberry face masks...and since then, it's all I've ever wanted! A burberry face mask: Protection in style!

Ms. Wrinkles: Loves it. Is it sad that I laughed when you said two died?

OMG I. LOVE. THAT. HAMSTER. LICK-PIC!!!

TMC said...

Oh! I totally would have voted for that rabbit. It's about time that rabbits were properly appreciated for their vocal talents.

p.s. I gave you a 'lil award over at my place the other day. :)

Girl Interrupted said...

JJ ... I would look pretty badass with a gun and a leather catsuit :P

Mr C ... I agree, it's comedy waiting to happen. And you'll be happy to know that some of them DO still have the old style hearing aids ;)

~E ... lol I thought my US blog-chums might like that ... it's a real place in London :P

Vic ... thank you :) The Nunchucks are in the mail!

Nanc ... aw thanks! Now can I please have a cyber holiday in the Bahamas? :P

Harmony ... thank you :) Glad you and the children enjoyed it

Diane ... lol @ beddly! And thank you for the kind words :) xx

Trinity!!! You're alive!!! It's YOU who's too busy for me!!! :( I'll never be too busy for you ;)

JP ... ain't that the truth! And thank you :)

Mo ... They don't have jelly, but they have a plastecine type stuff for making hearing aid moulds ... I bet I could leave some awesome teeth marks in those ... and that would freak people out even more!! Hahaha ... ooh! So tempting! :P

You have a thing about hamsters, don't you.

words ... let me see recent bank statements and then I'll give you my answer

lol please take pics if you do the masks thing!

Prometheus ... thanks for stopping by and commenting :) Glad you enjoyed it ... the only images I did were the rather lame looking mask pics :P I wish I could take credit for the Nunchucks, but I'm too honest

Dominica ... I've already had a couple of amusing episodes :P it should be fun

Jules ... My day was great, thanks and bully-free! They kept talking about the "hazing" tomorrow ... I don't know what that is ... but it sounds like fun, they sure were laughing alot about it

Lopez my lovely US BFF ... an abattoir is a slaughterhouse :P A Burberry face mask would be the ultimate fashion accessory as long as you have matching shoes and handbag!

Glad you liked it :)

TMC ... I agree! I would love to see a version of La Traviata with an all rabbit cast!

And thank you for the award! I apologise for missing it ... I had no idea you were out there, but I'll go check your blog out now :) And thanks for stopping by and commenting

diane said...

Hazing is not a good thing, if I'm remembering my college terminology correctly. Wear protective armor and bring a stun gun. Want to borrow mine?

Girl Interrupted said...

:/ Well now I'm scared! Yes please ... and can I also borrow those gorgeous brown shoes? If I'm going to be humiliated I can at least be wearing to-die-for shoes while I'm tortured!

Greta said...

Lol. The greatest news report EVER.

I want a customized surgical mask!

But first...I have to break myself of making out with hamsters. They're just so cute tho.

Girl Interrupted said...

Greta ... thanks :P And you should get in touch with Mr Stoneskin, I'm guessing he'd pay big bucks to watch that ...

Cora said...

I now have tears rolling down my face over the mask on the Queen. Ohhhhh gawd. I don't think I'll ever recover! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Congrats on the job! WOO-HOO!!!! :-)

Girl Interrupted said...

:P Thanks Cora ... I'm going to suggest they use that look for the next stamp/coin design

Candy's daily Dandy said...

Positively brilliant..

Old Liz never looked so good and that hampster looks a little desperate, doncha think?

Girl Interrupted said...

Candy ... thank you :P And you're right, it's a very good look for queenie! The rest of the royal family should try it too, IMO. The hamster looks totally desperate ... I love that about him :P

Dr Zibbs said...

What?

What?

Get it? Because of the hearing job?

Just kidding.

Congrats.

Girl Interrupted said...

lol thanks, Dr Z

Prunella Jones said...

Bob Mould is in England now? I wondered what had happened to him after Husker Du broke up. ;b

Oh, and it looks like that hamster kisses a lot like my last boyfriend.

Girl Interrupted said...

lol Pru ... I never realised there was a real Bob Mould!

I'm sure we're dating the same guys :/

words...words...words... said...

Bob Mould is awesome. He was in Husker Du and has solo albums but Sugar is my favorite band of his. Check out the songs "Hoover Dam" and "If I Can't Change Your Mind".

Girl Interrupted said...

Oooh ... will check those songs out :) thanks Words
