3pm: Tattoo of hearts...FROM his internet diary at rodmarsh.com: "Went for cup of coffee. Young girl in front of me with tattoo tattoo, the marking of the skin with punctures into which pigment is rubbed. The word originates from the Tahitian tattau [to mark]. The term is sometimes extended to scarification, which consists of skin incisions into which irritants may be rubbed to produce on her lower back. "I said: 'That's interesting, can I take a pic for my website?' She said: 'Yes you can...it's Chinese Chinese, subfamily of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages (see Sino-Tibetan languages), which is also sometimes grouped with the Tai, or Thai, languages in a Sinitic subfamily of the Sino-Tibetan language stock. .' I said: 'What does it say?' 'Steve,' she said. "She then told me she had it done last year to show her commitment to her boyfriend. 'I hope you're still together,' I said. 'He's dead,' she replied. "Apparently he died recently from a tumour tumour or neoplasm Mass of abnormal tissue that arises from normal cells, has no useful function, and tends to grow. Cell abnormalities may include increased size or number or loss of characteristics that differentiate their tissue of origin. . Had cup of tea, then off home for snooze." This brush with tragedy did not knock Rodders out of his stride for long. Next day he was reporting: "Watched Wimbledon v Forest. Got more enjoyment out of watching a moth fly round a lightbulb." |
