* saunters in, fashionably late

Thanks goodness I won't be in the running for those blue itchy pants.

ltp arrives at post 42, or near about..if the servers not messing about...and windsin right direction

Bravo, ltp.

Want to buy a two-bed flat in Glasgow, Z?

Handy for the Cathcart Circle line - and within walking distance of the Vicky?

Did you mention coffee, Marv?

*Holds out mug*

*Goes back to translate a text from Danish into English*

Tartaronne, would you prefer Kona, Mexican, or El Salvador?

I've brought my own cattle prod .





So DH threw back the curtains this morning and said "Oh my WORD! It's been SNOWING!" in such a way that I fully expected to see drifts six-foot high out there.

In fact it was just a slightly slushy sprinkle. And then a horrible grey day. But I avoided it by completing everything on my work to-do list

I just wish my home to-do list and my Guides to-do list would be as co-operative

Favourite recollection from last thread ... OK, I should have taken notes. So I'll offer to scribe this thread instead.

Mol

tries to sneak in looking sheepish and hides hoping to disguise the fact that she fell asleep on the last thread and has only just skated in

An irregular calling card.

It's his fault I'm late *points at spud* and also his fault I'm not keeping up with the backlog just now so and where appropriate...

*waves to Gnomon and Miss Nicky*

He gave me a big gummy grin today so I've almost forgiven him for the lack of sleep...

PWM wanders in looking a bit lost - wondering where everyone had got to and then hearing a lot of noise from another thread sticks his head through the 3rd LED to check if it is the right one! Fortunately it is. looks longingly at a virtual double peruvian expresso, next to a rather fine 32 yr old islay single malt with a touch of spring water and reaches for a bottle of something that tastes like swimming pool water IRL! Ho Hum.

Sorry - little bit of escapism here, all those thoughts of malt whiskey took me off on a little self indulgent trip on pubs. My favourite pub in teh whole wide world is the Old Court House in st Aubins, Jersey, sitting outside in the summer by the harbour and inside by teh log fire in winter, just narrowly beats the Turf Tavern Oxford into second place?

*grumble, mumble, ... open a new thread when I'm at work, and can't post ... grumble, scowl ...*

[RNick]

stop grumbling they waited till I was fast asleep and then all tip toed out insert tiptoeingsmieleyes here

Have given my official notice to my supervisor. 3 weeks and 1 day to go.

I tried to wake you, hayayfi, ... telepathetically. I guess it didn't work.

BTW, congrats and good luck with the new work, GDZ.

Is that what that was I thought it was a mozzie

decides to follow previous salonistas lead and indulge in a little cyber fantasy too..... right now I see big plans being made, tripple decker chocolate cakes being bought, french perfume, books off my Amazon whish list being purchased, that tablecloth I have my eye on too, loads of seafood especially morton bay bugs being bought and my favourite brown brothers wine, that missing supertramp album has been found and the timber for that last built in book case is being ordered and last but not least 10 yes 10 DVD's of my I want to see them list are on their way to me by special DVD fairy...... wanders off singing Its my party and I'll dream if I want to dream if I want to you would dream toooo if you were turning 43333333

*waves to Gnomon, Little Miss Nicky and Bald Bloke*

*eyes Mol and her cattle prod warily*

kelli! Toby gummy-grinned you? Today? Write it in his baby book, quick! You have one, yes? I didn't for mine but I have kept journals - admittedly the entries are spaced by months, rather than days, but I still take them out and once in a while. Sentimental fool, me. Each child has a treasure box (more like suitcase now) filled with 'firsts' and 'favourites': first shoes, favourite toys and books, christening gowns, locks of hair, teeth donated back for the cause by the tooth fairy , quirky drawings, first school uniform etc and so forth. Good thing we have an attic ...

My favourite the last thread would have to be my relieved return to hootoo after aforced three month absence. I do remember cyber kissing the ether it is built on

Old Court House in st Aubins, Jersey...was it 34 year ago sat in that bar and worked way through the shelfs, then walked (staggered) round the bay...off course its claim to fame...was setting in Bergerac for Lils bar....not our one though...

yes it was 34...and 33 worked two seasons on the island...(worked well sort of...night porter was a hard life....)
