Arse About Fez: 10-Oct-2011
http://arseaboutfez.blogspot.com/2011_10_10_archive.html
Monday, 10 October 2011. My name is Death. Yes, it's that time of year again. I've got man-flu. And, as any woman will know, man-flu can seem to be almost life-threatening. When I was a child, my mother gave me a little bell that I would ring any time I needed something. She knew the power of man-flu. One thing that always trips me up linguistically is that, in the Turkish language, you don't 'have' an illness, you 'become' one. So, currently, I am a cold. Strange, I know.

Thursday, 23 June 2011. The Easiest Way to Stop Smoking. Though this post may appear a little off topic, it is loosely related to living in Turkey and absolutely related to my life here .or anywhere. It started about a month ago with a regular cough and cold. Something that I've become accustomed too since choosing a career as a school teacher. The cold came and went but I was left with a hacking cough that refused to budge. Great, I thought. Nothing serious then. What the fuck is going on? Do you have a...

Sunday, 19 February 2012. I saw this ingenious invention in a friend's car the other day. For drivers who don't want to be disturbed by some pesky alarm warning you of your precarious position when you're not wearing your seat belt. I give you the danger neutraliser. Simply plug this device into your seat belt socket and cleverly fool your car into thinking you actually give a shit about not hurtling through your windscreen. Cheaper solutions are also available:. Wearing your seat belt. Deal or no deal.

Thursday, 9 February 2012. Karpuzun hamı. Topalın amı. A ripe watermelon. A lame girl's twat. Both extremely sweet apparently. The watermelon is fairly self-explanatory. The girl with a limp? Due to the fact she don't get out much. It is assumed she would be equipped with, what Mike Reid might describe as, a mouse's ear 'ole. In her downstairs department. BTW good to be back :). Glad to see you back! Welcome back, and what an ummmm. or should I say am.entrance. Watermelon still bewilders me.

Thursday, 28 April 2011. Putting the 'Man' in 'Manisa'. At the end of March, a small city on the outskirts of Izmir hosts a rather unusual festival. Welcome to Manisa, known for mental hospitals and, possibly related, the craziest drivers in the Aegean region. The festival is a week-long celebration with appearances by minor celebrities and politicians. But the city is really celebrating another local claim to fame. I had been counting down the days to this event since April last year. I knew this wa...

Thursday, 3 October 2013. Which Side Are You On? Let me see it again" asked the barber after a few minutes. Sure" I said and showed him the following picture:. I don't know why it struck me as something to blog. The thought of me trying to explain who Billy Bragg was perhaps. The fact we shared the same name. That a Turkish barber should be studying and trying to emulate the cut of Billy Bragg's hair. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Search Arse About Fez. Arse About Fez Mobile. View my complete profile.
