This Post Has Nothing To Do With Writing

It’s true. This has nothing to do with writing at all. But it is funny.


I point you in the direction of The Sleep Talking Man. That’s right. It’s a blog about what a woman’s husband says in his sleep. With occasional audio.


So, if you appreciate such gems as “Oompa loompas don’t sing in heaven. They tidy up the clouds” or, my personal favourite, ‘Don’t leave the duck there. It’s totally irresponsible. Put it on the swing, it’ll have much more fun’  then have yourselves a look.

  1. Hah! Did see a news interview with him and his wife recently. It's the oddest thing, eh?"Shhhhhhhhh. Shhhhhhhhh. I'm telling you: your voice, my ears. A bad combination."HAHAHA!

  2. haha. This is brill. I think you need to do a weekly 'nothing to do with writing post' – I want more links like this 🙂 I also found My First Dictionary through your blog and have been a fan ever since.

  3. Haha! I should have thought of this and started a blog for the things my other half says in his sleep. I can never remember them, though, as I'm half asleep when he says them.A few I can remember:'I've got to go and pick the kids up!' (We don't have kids.)'I've got to go and fix the boiler!' And my favourite:'F*^£! For f*&&£'s sake! F*"£&ing c*£&$(!' (For no particular reason at all.)
