Meet the Reader: TonyCawley

***15 Minutes Later***

Where were we?

You’d just won a speedboat, and I was going to ask you if you had any further hobbies or interests beyond gaming and following Steven on TSA?

Well there’s stalking you, but apparently I got the wrong address!

Every time.

Other than that I teach so most of my time during term time goes on that and my family. My Mrs and I have been together for 12 years, and we have our 2 year old son.

I’m now in my 3rd week of gym, since I teach sports and have allowed myself to get sadly out of shape due to work and family commitments. So I’m trying to regain my fitness levels I was at 3 or 4 years ago. So I also play sports as much as I can, and that’s it.

Can your son figure out a Dualshock 3 yet? Or are you saving that particular trial by fire until he’s a little older.

He turns the PS3 on with it and knows how to hold it, but he can’t play a game. I often get home to find he’s changing settings for me, which is nice.

Can he kick your backside at Speedball 2, too?

Haha, good one.

One thing on that note though, he has sussed the telly remote, and knows how to change channels up and down, but I have an issue here…

For some stupid reason, the adult channels on Freeview are almost directly above the kids channels. How dumb is that? We often catch him with the remote control in his hand and the adult channel on. Babestation or whatever.

Luckily while he’s awake theres no naked ladies, but still…

Like father like son I suppose.

HAHA! Can you not hide those from the list? Having it skip from CBBC straight to BBC Parliament would surely be a blessing, as it’d send him instantly to sleep.

There are parental controls but I can’t be bothered to set them. I have a massive hatred of TV.

Can I ask why your avatar is a naked woman on Yahoo? Bit rude!

Is it? I’ve less than no idea.

It’s not really, but I got you going! It’s a strange Japanese anime character

Oh, you mean Ramona Flowers?

Is that your pet name for lady parts?

Haha! Yes… It is… She’s from Scott Pilgrim.

I don’t do cartoons/comics, they’re for kids, just like games!

I’ve heard people call lady bits some strange names before but not that. Petal maybe, flower maybe, not Ramona Flowers… Good luck editing this conversation!

I’m trying to think of how I can do so…

[drop]

Why are her eyes so big?

Can’t you just put it up unedited for a giraffe?

I could do that…

It’s not been all that rude/inappropriate has it? Normal office/classroom conversation to me!

99% of the time, I’m just going through, capitalising personal pronouns, adding in punctuation, and making it look like you all actually managed to get your English GCSEs.

Oh I got my GCSEs somehow, don’t worry about that! Despite the fact I was a total idiot.

Don’t worry, I’m used to this minor form of personal torture. I’ve come to like it.

See? “Thank you Tony, I am forever in your debt!”

Yeah, yeah. Whatever…

Ah, just put it up unedited for giggles. Has this been torture for you? It’s given me wood!

No, this has been amusing and enlightening. It’s the “turn it into something you can put up on TSA” stage that’s torture.

You know when I said I was going for a shower earlier?

You’re lucky you’re in London now. They’ve banned that sort of shower behaviour in Manchester!

Nah, there are certain spas you can visit where it’s tolerated. Not that I’d know!

Oh, outside of showers, I’m sure it’s fine.

Male genitalia, shall we return to a decent conversation? I hear a lot of things go on in the showers at Strangeways!

Yes! I believe we were actually right at the very end of the interview, where I always ask the following: Would you Snog, Civil Partnership and Smother which of the three podcasts hosts, Peter, Lewis and Kris?

Can I say can I just have them all? I’m horny like that!

Oh, please be original… Roy said that last week!

Did he? Balls!

Glad to see you read all the way to the end!

Ok I have to admit something rather rude and embarrassing…

I’ve never listened to a single one. I downloaded the first nutsack, then realised it was over an hour long. I couldn’t believe it!

I’ve never listened to a podcast of any kind and assumed they were like 15 minutes, so when I realised how long it was I gave up and deleted it. Then I went to the forum and gave my feedback, and suggested they try and keep it to 10-15 minutes but just got laughed out of the forums.

I can’t listen to other people talk for an hour, I left uni 10 years ago! I’d had enough of that by then!

I reckon you’re still qualified to mercilessly murder one, drunkenly force yourself on another, and marry the last… Probably for tax reasons.

Ok, despite the fact I’ve never listened to their podcast as I don’t have the patience I’d say smother peter, snog that sexy beast Kris and civil partnership with lewis (thanks random.org!)

Oh, I do like Random.org. It helps make many of my major life choices.

Don’t we all? It uses ambient noise to randomly generate its results, how mental is that?

I had a very interesting chat once, about a computer’s inability to randomly draw cards on a poker site. It was with the site manager and he admitted it can’t be done, but random.org has done it!

With ambient noise!

With that little tidbit, we have actually come to the end of this jolly jaunt through your stream of consciousness. Do you have any final words for the readers?

I really should’ve thought about this!

The firing squad is getting bored… Not that I want to hurry you.

If anyone fancies some AK47 training, come visit my training camp in the Pakistani mountains!

Thanks, I guess, to Tony for typing whilst staring at an exercising lady… He’ll be going blind some day soon, I’m sure.

  1. hilarious:) Loved the banter from both of you, best Meet the Reader i’ve read.
    I faintly remember, being able to remember.

  2. I felt quite close to you this morning, Tony. Now that I’m more distant, I feel more secure again.

    • That’s because I was pretending to be your window cleaner, watching you in bed while you sleep! I got the right address this time.

      • I don’t have a window cleaner…
        Maybe you were just a bit closer with your guess than usual.

  3. Huh, when did this conversation occur? I don’t remember it!

    We both know you didn’t edit it because you couldn’t be bothered!

    • Tef did a good job not editing it, well funny.

  4. Very funny indeed, probably the best MTR so far! First sentence already had me in stitches. But your memory really isn’t the best though :P

  5. Hello T, gotta admit you brush up well, that yellow top really suits you :P
    Love the rants and opinions in the forums, keep it up dude ;)

    • Oi, are you looking at my Mrs? *thump*

  6. ah quality Sunday read tony, much more fulfilling than the Sunday times, and with more filth!

    • Sunday times is far too educational for a Sunday, actually impossible to read it all in a day. Actually far better to just chat with me instead ;-)

  7. Very funny that one. One of the best MTR yet. You definately need to work on your memory.

    • I generally remember what I have to, the rest gets lost in oblivion. You don’t use it you lose it.

  8. Hilarious, if at times very wrong! Now I know what makes a real Tony I realise that I have some way to go. Great read.

    MtR: possibly the best TSA feature in the world.

    • You’re just too sensible to be a tony. Become a little more ridiculous and you can be initiated.

      • Finally, somebody thinks I’m sensible!

  9. come one guys, the classic that was Toejam and earl was on the magadrive! many many happy memories of the twoplayer mode..god damned boogeyman… :)

    • If I’d have really really thought about it I would’ve remembered that. I was a little distracted at the time.

  10. Any fan of Toejam & Earl (even if he is as mad as a brush), is alright by me.

    • I’m glad I get your approval. I’m not really that mad, Teflon just does strange things to me, I come over all woozy in his presence.
