It began with an Arrrse!

I remember one summer day some two years ago, we had just left Bhasvic on a free period. The ‘us’ comprised of Dom, Regine and me. We were heading down to Brighton, it was a nice day, the sun was shining the weather was sweet, yeah. We were waiting to cross the Old Shoreham Road, Dom made it across first and sat on the wall to point and laugh whilst I dodged busses and gesticulated at light running cyclists. By the time I had made it across I wasn’t really thinking about what I was about to say, never a smart move and oh yeah here it comes… think Michael all you gotta say is AH DOM! What happens…? “ARRRSSSE!”

WTF I think to myself, that’s just not right, my eye traced up however along the wall and through the open window at thirty pairs of eyes looking back at me a look of bemusement and scorn creased the faces of the OAP’s sitting down to lunch in their nice quite home... Luckily I didn’t say what I was thinking, realizing that not only had I managed to shout Arse through their open window, but they had completely managed to miss the fact that Dom was sitting hidden by the shrubbery, on the other side of the wall. From then on in Tourettical moments was born, we returned to college, fresh from a trip down into the depths of Brighton and realized how much their was to comment rant and rave about… Yes we saw some crazy S**t, (I remember a woman with a sign… “Blair spank my badger” but what good is it if nobody ever gets to see it… There was no question about it we needed a blog and we knew the name… Tourettical Moments after that fateful day.

But that was nearly two years ago and this is now, a lot has happened, we have grown older, less mature and gone our separate ways, well not really. In fact I have pretty much stayed where I am, moving on to Sussex Uni, studying Media, whereas Dom is now showing them how its done down in Southampton Uni, studying a real subject, like cemistry? Cehmistry? Anyway that. Not only are we there, but we have been there for a year and now we’re back in force.

Alas its time to say goodbye to the past, it’s the end of an era and yes, it’s been emotional. From the delights of Fred the Policeman, to the crazy Playmobil nun’s and who could forget the Dog’s Frolics and Chimp election campaign. It’s been a wacky ride of random comments, rants, antics and life in general, more importantly things that made us laugh.

It’s not all bad though because we’re not going away forever, oh no. Soon you will see the launch of a new blog, Still Mike and Dom, still tourettical, but this time it will be louder, faster, maybe even more random. This time its student life, from our arsing about at home to getting through the days at Uni, the new blog will also feature video, audio and all the stuff we can actually get up to now we are that little bit older, wiser and of course younger ;-). Stay tuned guys it’s been great.

See you soon
