It’s an office day today. I’m up early to start my exercising and to get some shite* done and here I am typing in this completely useless blog post.
Motivation level = Zero.
Hey! I am trying to pick off another episode of Torchwood because I am trying to finish off the show (even though I don’t exactly love it) and here is season three episode one and Peter Capaldi is in it! Doctor Who Number 12’s actor in his second of two Doctor Who related roles from before he was actually cast as The Doctor. Fascinating.
Where was I?
Oh yeah. The morning routine. Let’s start my exercising and maybe get some shite done before I have to drive in to work.
*Back in the 1980’s I started obsessively reading the novels and short stories written by Clive Barker. Mr. Barker, in at least one of his works, used the word “shite”. I had never heard or read that word before. Mr. Barker is from Liverpool. Is shite a Liverpudlian thing? I don’t know. I do know that I am currently a little more than half way through the audio book version of Weaveworld and hearing the word shite get used again is making me feel nostalgic for the old days of language discovery and shite.
I first came across the word “shite” seeing the my he (and eventually reading the book) “The Committments”. Author Roddy Doyle is Irish and the story is set in Dublin – so I don’t think it’s just a Liverpool thing.

I’ve always heard/read shite as a UK thing.
