Goran

Now with more Goran!

Sometimes people just come into your life and change it completely. Then sometimes people come into your life and five minutes later you forget they ever existed. Imagine these are two points on opposite ends of a line, over at the life changing end you have people like 'your future wife', 'the guy who sells you that car with the shoddy breaks' and hopefully happening chronologically before that one, 'Jesus'. On the other end you have people like 'the man who took your car parking space', 'the person who held the door open for you' and 'the French'. Around two thirds of the way along this scale towards memorable is Goran. It's hard to explain Goran without you actually meeting him, but here are some of the words of wisdom he came out with.

  • While writing down descriptions next to people's e-mail addresses so he wouldn't forget who they were: "Ah ****, the girl who looks like her boyfriend. No! I mean just in the face!"
  • Over breakfast: "***** I will tell you you are beautiful in three different languages. You are beautiful... I forget the rest.
  • To Rhiannon after hearing me do a seminar: "You are a very lucky woman. If you have children they will speak very fast."
  • To me, up in the mountains: "I love all English men. I mean women. I mean English people"
  • To me, after I finished a talk on an overview of the bible: "Calvin was a great reformer, and so was your Wesley, but it's interesting how with every new movement you get equally heretical views springing out of it"
  • More Goran: To Becca after she had done the actions to the 'Na Na' song "People like you are very righteous"
  • More Goran: To various people playing volleyball "Pass th ball around. When you score, it no count. When I score, it count."

Ah Goran, such a legend.

Oh Goran, how we miss you.
Oh Goran, you know it's true.

Remember the way he reminded us so dearly of Borat. He inspired the dancing bears, He sung in Serbian and he victimised the weak. Oh Goran how we miss you.

Relive with me this one precious memory:
Alex: we will now sing song number 45, the Potter's hand
Goran: Harry Potter!
Alex: Be quiet Goran.

Oh great Goran, how will we live without you?

I'm coming out of my short-lived retirement.
ACT 1, Scene 1:

Crug and a handsome chap are in the generic meeting place.

PAUL: Hey Craig, what fun chaps we are.
(Mark enters, looking tall and willowy)
CRUG: Hey, do you remember that time when I told you about that time when...
PAUL: (interrupting) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH. Yes. It was great.
MARK: I wasn't there, did you have fun though?
PAUL: Yes. Do you want some more anecdotes?
MARK: No. thanks for asking though.
(Paul exits stage left, looking for beer and a barbecue)
MARK: DO you remember that time in slov... oh right, I get the point of this drawn out and ultimately tedious play.
CRUG: Where's Jehosephat*?
(Everyone gets barred from the generic meeting place for attempting to leave through the obvious exit)

I feel I should add some frivolous links to various pictures here, but I may look like a smarmy showoff.

I must say I’m in a particularly scathing mood today.

This is the funniest thing I've read all week! And I mean that in the American sense of the word.

Mean what? 'funniest' in the american sense of the word? 'thing' in the american sense of the word?

I just don't know anymore.

I was confused too, but thought that might just be me being stupid, so didn't say anything.

Paul

Don't worry Ed, you're not aas stupid as you look I'm sure :p

As for Gordon, if he's american then there's little doubt he won't make any sense. You get me?

This Website is OFF THE HOOK!!!
