on union st in southwark (a street i go along several times a week) there is a flock of bats called "hoadly house". at some point ned flanders invaded my brane and said "hi-dly doo-dly hoa-dly house" and now EVERY SINGLE BLOODYFUCKING TIME i pass it i get that on a loop inside my head and it drives me NUTS. i have tried not looking but at first was concentrating so hard on not looking that obv it was in my head already, then it did get better for a while but soon returned to maximum irritation... i am glad i don't have to go down there as often as i used to (yes yes i could go via another route but i tried looking and all alternatives are a bit convoluted, plus that would only make me MORE INCENSED that i had CHANGED MY BEHAVIOUR for this stupid fucken tiny irrelevant thing) but still, ARGH.

what evil worms live in YOUR brane?

I knew this was an Emsk thread.

If we were to talk about thoughtworms, blimey, I'd be here all day.

I knew this was an Emsk thread to, and I think that is the first time I have known an Emsk thread was an Emsk thread.

I have one of these and I can't remember what it is, which is now driving me crazy.

This thread has planted the song "Worm In My Brain" by the Weather Prophets in my brain and now *that* won't go away either.

Everything's gone wrong.

I love that song, Tim!

However, you've now implanted Everything's Gone Green. Sigh.

I know this happens ALL. THE. TIME. but I can't think of any examples right now.

David Baddiel once did a routine about some food item called Gnish, and made up a slogan: "Fancy a gnibble? Gnosh a gnish!". Sadly, I have been unable to forget it. As if there weren't enough reasons to hate Baddiel.

Oh Lord, too many to list. I think most of them date back to my childhood, when me and me mum would have long nonsense conversations. To this day I have a tendency to append the phrase "said the tall dark vicar" to the most pointless of statements.

Clearly you should replace Ned Flanders in your brane with me, since that way the Ned continuum is not disrupted. I am perhaps biased.

When someone says 'Asparagus', in my head I think 'They said that wrong, it's pronounced smaragdarus'.

Also, when walking into Peckham from a certain direction you can see a shop called 'APT Clothing' or something, and I would always think 'A Place To Call Our Own (APTCOO)', which is a small family support agency I spoke with just once, and had no reason to remember, but every day until I moved from Peckham I would think those words, much to my annoyance.

Opposite the 144/41 bus stop on Turnpike Lane by the tube station there's a clothing store called A&S Casuals, but I am compelled to think it looks like it's called ASS Casuals, every time.

I've gnoshed a gnish, it was gnasty (tho they can be gnice I'm told).

haha actually no! i've been thinking of starting this one for months but thought it would actually make the annoyance worse, then decided i was thinking about whether to start it or not enough for it to reach the same annoyance level anyway, and at least this way i could sympathise with/larf at other people's braneworms and not want to STAB MYSELF IN THE HEAD so much.

so if you were a worm in my brane, what would you say as we passed hoadly house?
