1. Alphabetica Prime’: I Am Most Beautiful When No-one Is Looking
   (Nominated by Ani)

   i wouldn’t know what to to do with a man’s love if it was given to me. one shouldn’t waste their time with me in my bed, my bathtub, my hands. you must be trying to trick me if you’re interested. waiting to ask me to the dance to pour pigs blood all over my dress.

2. Bloggertropolis: A Frank Spencer Moment
   (Nominated byMatthew)

   The first two bulbs are swapped out easily enough – and I’m impressed the guy can do this one-handed given that his other hand is pinching hold of a ledge while his legs straddle a 12ft drop. The third and final bulb requires a manoeuvre that even Peter Parker would baulk at but Mr Sparks manages it. He must be clinging on with his teeth at this point I swear.

3. Down In Me: Nylon Threads Scattered Over My Tummy
   (Nominated by Id Entity)

   The force of reality thrusting its dick into my spine, won’t stop me writing what I have to say, specially in the comfort and perceived safety of my middlebrow dwelling in my western-civilised, policed, high-walled, barbed wire cell. Whether or not it’s true. Whether or not you believe me. This world is fucked. You are fucking it. I fucked it and now you’re gorging on my sloppy seconds.

4. Every Day I Lie A Little: MA in ‘Creative’ Writing
   (Nominated by Bob)

   Every time you write something I will print it out and show it to all my friends. We will sit in a pub and laugh at it. We will make notes on it in coloured pens. Everything we write will be instructions on how to make it better. We will send you back the pages. You won’t be able to read our writing. You will need to implement all the suggestions into future drafts, even when they are contradictory.

5. Jerrychicken: I’m Still Not Flying - Part Deux
   (Nominated by kate)

   I don’t like businesses that make me stand in line for an hour or so just because they haven’t got enough staff to deal with the amount of customers that they already know are going to appear at their check-in desk at a given time, its not like its a surprise that 200 people will want to be served two hours before a specific flight is it

6. Non-Working Monkey: Day 707: I Have English Teeth
   (Nominated by Mike)

   “Your teeth are not good”, says the dentist. “Every time English people come here I think, surely one will have good teeth! But no, all of you have terrible teeth. Do your dentists actually go to dental school?”.

7. PC Bloggs: Treading Water
   (Nominated by Zinnia Cyclamen)

   After he stabs her, he’s going to stab his son, then his daughter. And then he’s going to kill the first cop who comes through the door. At the moment, that’s likely to be me.
