I thought that I’d try out a pair compression shorts and see if they live up to the hype.  So I got myself a great deal for some white Under Armour at £7.99.

After deciding that they were too kinky to be running around in under 4 inch shorts I opted to wear them under my tracksuit bottoms.

After a warm up power walk I had arrived at my start point, revved and ready to tear up the path to a new PB, I took off running.

Around a sharp corner, through a little alleyway, a little straight, cross the road at the lights… a big decline is coming up so I have a oportunity to use it to my advantage and up my pace.

I tear down the hill, but somethings not right….

What’s that draft at my butt AAAARRRRRRHHHH!!! I scream to a halt just to catch my tracksuit bottoms sliding off my shiny hips on their way down to my knees!

I caught them just in time, gosh I hope no one seen that! I thought to my self.

After fixing myself and tying my tracksuit bottoms a little tighter I set off again.  The thoughts of exposing my rear in public was enough to slow me down and quash any expectations of setting a new PB.

Lesson learned, compression shorts are good, i.e. they hold all your bits in place, but don’t ware them with tracksuit bottoms that are too big for you!

I was goofing around here with the bloatware that’s still on my laptop LOL!

No Andrew was harmed in the making of this video!

This is weird, but interesting!

I thought that you might get a chuckle out of this. Enjoy!

Did you know that the days of the week all have specific meanings? Well they do, let me show you.

Let’s start with how the days are made up, they are made up from a partial word at the beginning, then a whole word at the end, which is ‘day’, the meaning of this is out of the scope of this article but if you wish to find its meaning then please by all means refer to any first grade dictionary.

E.g. ‘Abbreviated Word’ + ‘DAY’ There is also an irregular day of the week which is WEDNESDAY which is made up of two abbreviated words plus day. E.g. ‘Abbreviated Word’ + ‘Abbreviated Word’ + ‘DAY’ = WEDNESDAY. The reason for this was not that of necessity but to keep in tradition of the English language irregular-in-everything pattern, that and also a way to keep non-natives on their toes while learning the English language.

Although the beginning of the week is Sunday, we are going to start with Monday.

MON + DAY (MONontonousDAY) Coming from the word ‘monotonous’ which is an adjective that means; that it’s tedious because it’s boring and repetitious, it’s here every week and it never changes.

Monotonousday is were life hits reality and you find out you have to face the fact that your only an employee and your boss hates you or you are a boss and everyone hates you. It also brings the harsh reality that Saturday’s and Sunday’s don’t bring; the fact that we are creatures ruled by time and need to awaken before noon. There is nothing one can do about the inevitable arrival of Monotonousday, but to survive it. Monotonousday can be taxing from 7:00am to 5:00pm.

Monotonousday Time Allocation = 24 hours

TUES + DAY (TUnnElDAY) A long passage mostly found underground that brings darkness if not lit.

Tunnelday is when we realize the week that lies ahead of us, this can be quite disconcerting for most people and it is usually dealt with by sighing while perusal of a calendar, some even add counting by counting the rest of the days until Saturday (which is the preferred day by many, more about that later). Psychologists have reported that this weekly count from Tunnelday helps to stimulate the brain and also gives slight stress relief and therefore an advisable practice.

Tunnelday Time Allocation = 1,440 minutes

WED + NES + DAY (WEDgeNESessityDAY) Thought to have been added to the week early 1200 AD, but this still remains a dispute between many historians as some have thought that it had been added as far back as 900 AD.

The purpose of Wedgenesessityday was that the world kept going into turmoil after Tunnelday as there was a gap in the week until the arrival of THURSDAY (more about that later). It was decided necessary that a wedge day should be added to hold things together and to maintain order so that the week could remain some what consistent. The adding ofWedgenesessityday was a very controversial issue with most perfectionists, as it brought many of them close to insanity.

It was not until 1839 when a 3rd grade student who can’t be named as he and his family went into hiding shortly after his discovery that WEDNESDAY was spelt wrong, and it should have been spelt WEDNECDAY. This was a world-wide embarrassment but there was no effort to change it as we are too use to it and can’t be bothered to change it.

Wedgenesessityday Time Allocation = 48 sets of 30 minutes

THURS + DAY (THURSDAY) There is no known meaning for this day, and records have shown that no one has ever tried to find out , so who cares!

Thursday Time Allocation = 86,400 seconds

FRI + DAY (FRIskyDAY) this is an adjective coming from the word ‘frisky’ that means; full of life and wanting to play.

The human race starts to warm up on this day. Employees start to understand and appreciate their boss more and likewise bosses realize that they would have to do everything themselves without their employees. Jokes are made during the day and work is not taken that seriously. On stepping out of the office or educational facility there can be an amazing sense of freedom felt by all; well almost all, people of correctional facilities rarely have this feeling even though it’s Friskyday.

Friskyday Time Allocation = 20 hours

SAT + UR + DAY (SATonURassDAY) this is the most uncomplicated day of the week and it was named after the actions of many when this day is in motion.

The only negative aspect of Satonurassday is the time allocation which is thought to be unfair by many.

Satonurassday Time Allocation = 12 hours

SUN + DAY (SUNdialDAY) this day got it’s meaning from the shadow of the sundial.

Over two hundred years ago a man who was regarded ‘smart’ by many once said that “this day (Sundialday) is like a sundial with the dark shadow of Monotonousday approaching fast!” And this is how it got its name. Many years after this smart man died many then thought that it was a silly idea and his description of the day (Sundialday) wasn’t that smart as shadows are always dark anyway.

Sundialday Time Allocation = 6 hours
