The next Post Of The Week will be announced on Sunday evening.
Please note that nominations for next week cannot be accepted until then.

1. From fuck-up to fab!: Double Life
“Tales from other peripatetic colleagues come back to me, tales of buffet breakfast goods secreted into handbags to provide nourishment throughout the day, tales of a hand-to-mouth existence I thought was just another hype if only it didn’t bear such a striking resemblance to my own.”

2. I Love London… Honest!: Who Cares? We love him
“Inman’s most famous character is etched indelibly on British culture and some people have a problem with that. Humphreys is a stereotype, it’s true, but it’s not a negative one because the best thing about Humphreys is that he was never a loser.”

3. It’s A Dog’s Life: Prick up your Ears
“In the 17th Century, the size of your hat was held by many to be an indication of your social class. This was, of course, in the eyes of the hat wearer himself, whilst onlookers probably thought “Look at that Dickhead with the stupid hat” in a precursor-to-Jamiroquoi sort of way.”

4. The Sad Case Of Mr. X: On the Urge to Go - NOW!
“After a little while, Mr.X and the rabble realise they probably should have caused a cascade in the coachhouse’s conveniences before setting out, as they now are all busting for a widdle. One observant participant sees a shadowy wall ahead, and points out that it would be an ideal place for hydrostatic pressure to be lowered.”

5. Tired Dad: Girls Are Scary
“They are THAT age. Not women by any stretch of the imagination. Technically still girls, but girls who have realised they have some strange influence on adult men. That they can make them go red. And perspire. I’m not sure if they even now how or why.”

6. Violent Acres: Every Superhero Needs a Sidekick
“Whatever he was drinking made him bigger and stronger. If I could just figure out a way keep it away from him, he’d slowly lose his power and I could defeat him. But, my zombie parents never left me alone with him! They hovered around him, doing his bidding, kind of like those evil monkeys in the Wizard of Ozz.”
