Be Excellent To Each Other

Not tonight, annoyingly she has to go to a Halloween party for work. She's manager for a company that looks after physically and mentally disabled people and they have a party for them. I learned a while back that I'm not expected or welcome at these events. My brother and his new wife are heading over from Sheffield though. We're going to watch horror movies and drink beer.

Tomorrow, comedy club. And whatever random events I can come up with in between.

Yep, that's my day too!

I need some new shoes as they have holes in and when it rains my feet get wet.
I went into Brum centre to buy some shoes.
Im not paying 55 for a pair of shoes. I can't find cheap half decent shoes anywhere, and I hate the fact that it's really really busy there with people walking around really slowly and looking annoyed as you walk past them fast

Amazing Paperboy stops delivering, gets £6.93 redundancy

But that's not what makes me laugh. What makes me laugh is that his hamster is called 'Splodge', and that the reporter with a sense of humour saw fit to report that.

I don't really like work dos, let alone other people's work dos. Horror films and beer sounds splendid. We are doing the same, as it happens - just bought 1408. 1406, whatever.


Is that what we're calling it now?

Clophill is close to where I'm moving to

Good movie. One of the few I'd recommend watching the alternative ending to.

The missus 's Cusack. Sigh.

I got the director's cut, so I assume that's what I'll be seeing.



Same here. Thankfully though, so do I. I'd totally gay him.

We'll find out on monday. Let me know if there's a Llama in your version.

Be honest, you'd let him gay you.

My horribly boring day is ended. I am feeling the effects of missing my nap but I am keeping myself going with thoughts of the bottle of Talisker which has been begging me to drink it all week while I have been being strong and saying 'NO! I will not taste your delicious nectar until THE WEEKEND so do not ask it of me again.'
As it is now the weekend, I may now drink. I pray I don't have to hear, speak or think of electrical wiring again until Monday.

Let us DRINK!

I did that yesterday.... I still feel a bit ill

I like how Nickachu's games played bit of his sig has "2", "3", and "4" reading right to left. We need more games with numbers in.

What is an acceptable value of Ze on a TN-C-S supplied installation?

Only 11, so I'd try and go for a Triple Word Score.

Set it to Awesome. Any less is a sin.

If I have an image on a website that I like to change quite often, and it is a jpeg, but as I want to have a special occasion animated gif for a couple of days can't use a jpeg, do I have to try and remember where in the template that image is located, or can I just lazily change the file extension name to .jpg and fool the browser?

You need to upload the new image to where your site is hosted and update the html file I'm afraid Mimi.

The missus has just called me. She stopped in our corner shop to buy me some cans as a thank you for doing all of Isabelles night time feeds and changes this week. She asked for 4 cans of lager, the girl asked which ones and as Jemma was busy with her purse and the pushchair said any would do.
When she got home she noticed she has got me 4 cans of Lynx Super and is too embarrased to go and ask to change them.....

parp.

Oh well. It's not a massive deal. I usually upload the new graphics as jpegs and I have forgotten in time where in the template system the bit that places the banner is. Should be able to find it easy enough, I am just being lazy.

Heh, I went to Sainsburys yesterday and I was in the beers and wines section when I happened to notice the 'Sainburys Basics' lager. It was something like 86p, which made me think that it wasn't that cheap. Then I realised that 86p was for a pack of 4. Oh.

Sod stem cell research, we can grow entire people from vegetables now. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picture ... -2009.html

Hiro was delighted - the schoolgirl outfit would fit it.

*manic look settles on face*
*sticks fingers in plug*

I have an image of balloons and streamers being released from the ceiling. That's how I feel right now. Been one of those days



Ah but I bet you had fun. I don't have to get up early anyway, Not doing anything til the hairdressers at 15.30pm in Glasgow. I may need reminding.

I am being naughty!

Yeah, we ended up at a random ERASMUS student woodstock party which was strange but fun.
Hitting on spanish chicks always a plus!

If I may intrude into real life for a bit: What do you actually do?

I am an apprentice engineer, doing both mechanical and electrical. Despite being 25 I am only in my second year of a four apprenticeship. Oldest apprentice my work has ever had and also the first ever female engineer in my company (in Scotland at least, don't know about elsewhere.) Was a huge lifestyle change and pay cut when I made that decision, let me tell you! All my co-apprentices (all four of them!) are like 18 and stuff, they often seem to think I'm desperatly uncool and I don't think they believe me when I say I'm not.

Did anyone else just see the laughably shit graphics explaining the 2010 F1 season on BBC News 24?

A train is stuck in Llangynllo, unable to climb the gradient due to slippery rails (falling leaves).

And 15 chavs are standing around a flaming bench (that they've ignited) on a station near Rhymney, drinking and enjoying it.

So glad I've got the weekend off.

edit: AND! A flaming gas main near Merthyr Tydfil.
edit edit: AND! The flames from the gas main are higher than the local rooftops.

Just booked a ski holiday for me and my boys in March I can't wait!! Hehehe!

Where are you off to?

Im thinking of going to les arcs in april with Brum uni, and maybe Meribel in feb as I've got a mate out there

Is that in response to an e-mail newsletter from British Airways, by any chance?

just chillin tonight. Poor little chap does not want to sleep chicken pox is not good...

Also, which brainiac invented saucepans that have metal handles on the lids?

I have finished being naughty. On another site there are lots of features where you can share knitting projects, blog feeds, etc. If you like someone's patterns/projects/blogs/posts etc you can click the 'add to friends' button and their 'stuff' will appear in your 'friends activity' page. There are a few threads of people complaining about the term 'friends' or the function.





I added some of them as friends

Why join a site the purpose of which is to show your projects if you don't want people to see your projects?

I have stopped misbehaving now and un-friended them. Misery guts.

Wooden spoons were invented for the sole purpose of removing saucepan lids with metal handles.

A brainiac who wanted to use his pans in the oven when appropriate. Which is pretty valid.

Um....nope. I've been thinking about since last payday but was reluctant to book....I got paid this again this week (which is always nice) and as I've been hanging on to money in case I decided to go, I felt rich so went ahead and booked it!



We're going to Borovets in Bulgaria. The main requirements were family friendliness, tuition and price and it seems to fit the bill quite nicely from what I've read about it. I went to Val D'Isere a couple of years ago and it was great but I figured for first time skiers, especially young kids, I needn't pay French Alps prices.

Bah, saucepans don't go in the oven.

the ones with metal handles and lies do. Plus use a teatowel to take the lids off

Well, Your saucepans don't go in the oven. Or, shouldn't have.

Ah fair enough, one of my mates went to Bansko in Bulgaria last year, said it was pretty good, and it'll be cheaper over there which is always good. But I do love the alps

Why it's okay for vaginal sex to hurt.

"You'll never become heterosexual dressed like that."

And what would Jesus think about licking the clitoris?

The laptop has randomly decided to hate its own wireless driver. Cue 2 hours of me spacking about and it still not being fixed.

Had an average night out last night, was pleased to get home. Got to tax the car today, then it's off to see Zombieland, and avoid the trick or treaters. The begging proles.

made me chuckle.

I just played the God of War 3 demo having got emailed a code last night by PSN.

It's a bit good. BUT. Quicktime bosses - gah.
