On Things That Make Me Make a Noise Like A Ribena Berry

The Blue Pootle wonders how to cope with the mean reds.

How about making a list of all the things that cause me to make a 'wooo' noise? 'Wooo' noises are good for serotonin levels and stimulate the production of, well, good stuff. In the brain. In the ribena cortex.

So here goes:

Number One - going fast round corners. This inevitably produces a 'wooo' from me. Although I'm not convinced that it's altogether a pleasurable 'wooo'.

Number Two - cheap nasty white toast. This creates the ribena berry factor for me, but also creates the 'argh, you gluten-ridden idiot' factor for my stomach exactly three hours later.

Number Three - otters doing their thing is a definite 'wooo' in sheer loveliness. But I don't live near any otters and even if I did, find that making the appropriate noise usually leads to their immediate departure.

Number Four - plain chocolate digestives and cutesy play station games with Japanese characters called Justin or Blade King or Ariel Sharon. You eat a biscuit, you run around a virtual world for 600 hours of extremely easy game play.

Right then, I'm off to combat the mean reds with a dose of number four. Wooo.
