2013 has not got off to a great start.

I should have guessed that that was going to be the case, after all it IS 2013.

All that I knew was the holes in shoes, were letting in a lot of water!! Otherwise, it was a good walk in the forest :)

Gettin a new manager :(

2hrs dealing with insurance company

:twisted: You must have been giving them money.
If you were trying to get money off them you'd still be there two weeks from now :shock:

I am not familiar with too many world leaders, but just had a good chuckle whilst listening to our own PM in the Commons. He has just referred to a discussion with the Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

2 months to figure out how to use this camera

weve been workin together for over 9 years now, and we've had many many fights and some great times, but i still feel betrayed :(

Usually there is a button you can press... then it goes 'click' and voila. :-)

If you have other equipment you need help with, let me know :twisted:

I have a ban button...........................smartarse :D

I was treated to a lovely new camera at Christmas, taking it on tour but I bet I forget to use it! I want the photos but I go mad when Andy spends a show looking through a view finder (how old school am I?) I feel like he's missing it!

Two days into a seven-day-straight at work, my throat is killing but I've finally got an referral to a specialist.

Very intensive interview. But the corporal told me that it was the best interview he's done, and gave me various compliments. Just medical and fitness to go now!

Was wondering how it went, nice one!!!

:twisted: Hope you're feeling better soon :up:

Good man 8)
I look forward to borrowing a state of the art aircraft to assist me in my moderation duties :mrgreen:

Thought it was the RAF he was going for.........unless they've borrowed one that is lol

watched the ch5 documentary about the lady who was attacked by a friends pet chimp, and lost her face and hands in the attack, a couple of years back

and my god, shes an amazing person... such strength, and will to live, and the same for for her family


i wasnt just humbled by her story, strength and conviction

i was embarrassed by what i consider to be problems to deal with.

there are many truly amazing people in the world, with hardships i can't even begin to imagine... and she is right up there with the best of them in my opinion.

Whatever happened to the Bat Cave :whistle:

congratulations, Sebastian!! :-D

Fundraising and jumping outta a plane :)

That's great news Sebastian. Congratulations

Thanks Neil. This week seems to be dragging but I hope it'll be worth it come payday.

Yay. It's 30th March isn't it?

Yup, just before I fly over, had to cram it in otherwise it'd be another month later and people would forget

In a ship in dull Outer Space, Luked pondered to himself, how to acquire Princess Leia?... he as getting bored with Hans Solo. LOL

You may have eaten a beefburger which is causing your throat to feel horse.
May I suggest as a remedy a drop of red rum.

Sayin' hello ... xo

Lol. :)

Wondering why I chose to go into public accounting. Then again I wonder this every year during tax season... :-P

I ask myself a similar question although I didn't exactly choose to go into retail, I'm asking myself why I'm still doing it?

Self employment all the way! :))

Just caught the last hour of The Ballad Of Lucy Whipple...not exactly Hollywood but worth it to hear Meat shouting "Miss Lucy"...for me, anyway! :lol:

Figured out how to make it a ringtone yet? lol

...are you in our house?? :shock:

No, next door. but I've got a drill!!!!!!

I'm thinking that the "Miss Lucy" clip would make a fabulous alarm clock....again, for me anyway!

aint well :(

I am not talented enough to make that a sensible option although I rather like the idea of not having to do what a bunch of people who have never actually worked on a shop floor say. ;)

tickets are finally booked :)

train tickets for Manchester and London bought

Medical today, passed everything but need a doctor's note to say a condition I had as a child no longer affects me, before the medical examiner stamps the documents. Should be done this week hopefully a fitness test in the next 2 weeks then!

After eighteen months of back and forth, it looks like we may finally have reached the end of the road :0(

Thinkin' I might grow out my first beard. 8) In a week I'll have the closest full face beard I've ever had...

....i never thought it'd be a real option for me until i went to College...really changes how you think and helps with confidence because...well Knowing how to do stuff feels good and then all you need is a good work ethic to go along with that.

I'm so glad to hear that you've found college to be such a positive thing. :D

I'd like to go and do something more worthwhile with my life one day but I think it's a case of finding a subject you enjoy and are also good enough to be able to make a success of it.

In continuation with the beard thought...

This is my face before... and next Monday I will post my progress ;)

Congrats again Biggles!

Your childhood fear of aircraft?

:D Yup, and I was in a very similar boat as you....so things can change and dreams can come true :) Took me switching programs twice to finally figure out I didn't belong in a University, but a two year College program, and that was good enough for me. I had people telling me that I was limiting myself - now I work at home and they have go to an office for 8 hours/day. So its about listening to your inner voice and learning about what you love, and then finding programs and tools that help you hone those skills

Yeah definitely, its about finding something you enjoy. Money will flow from there, and i wish you all the best of luck. I mean, You are very talented and a hard worker, just seeing all the sites you moderate and have designed/built, and you know that's special - most people would rather play XBox than spend time building an online community :-)

Train and tube tickets for O2 booked! £60 round trip, not bad!

what is that on your head???

looks surprisingly good :-)

and as for a smarter solution... i'm an idiot, forgot it had composite out aswell :roll:

:twisted: The Pope has given away his hats.
Satan has bought a snow shovel.
Bears have now taken to only using toilet facilities in the city.

And i've just downloaded music from Amazon :shock:

Home sick from work, picked a good day, 38 degrees outside, nice day to sit at home in the aircon.... I think I've figured out that I can no longer eat fast food. Pretty sure its the reason I feel like complete rubbish. Happened Sunday too, both days I've had fast food the night before. Midday tv is horrible.....

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Forum Runner

A hairband. The photo was originally stored on digital camera. And when you looked at the screen came with it the camera the light coming from band would give off multiple-neon coloured sparks .. without showing the band it self.

:(

Daytime TV is terrible, there never seems to be anything on that hasn't been repeated a hundred times or that isn't a dreadful talk show.

I bet my ML tickets that that's true! I've suffered a lot with bowel problems and some junk food kills me. I don't eat a lot of "junk food" but you know sometimes when you just fancy something (usually the morning after a King-family party!) if we go to McDonalds I can't entertain having a burger, and if I do I know I'll suffer. The chicken I can just about get away with but the burgers hate me!

That's really as bad as my junk food gets though...guess it depends what you call junk food!

I don't mind the odd fast food meal, I don't eat it exessively, but I don't mind it, so big sad face :(

But I'm not suprised if it's the fast food.... so greasy and fatty.

:twisted: Hope you're feeling better Mel.

Thanks Mouse, feeling much better now. 10.30pm and about to take the dogs for a walk lol

I'm glad you're feeling better Mel. I have the same problem with junk food ... but my biggest problem is all the weight I've put on lately :(
I know I need to lose about 50 pounds to really feel better about myself.

I could use 5o myself!

that's good news :-D

Just got back from a couple of days in St Ives with Mrs. Chairboys. What a lovely part of the country. Visited St. Michael's Mount, Minack Theatre ( truly amazing ), Land's End (+ cliff-top walk) and a Tin Mine!
And there is the Sloop Inn down by the harbour in St. Ives which has no less than 8 cyders on tap. It is heaven on earth. I supped the week's guest cyder, Fanny's Bramble.
Tickets for the Birmingham show have arrived.
Barnsley are out of the relegation zone.
Had a good laugh reading the backlog of posts.
Life ain't too bad!

Pffff, my wife lost her job today. I've been unemployed since September and with all our savings going into last September's wedding and honeymoon we are now officially broke :roll:

I just did some calculations and apparently, after paying our monthly bills, we now have little under 40,- to spend each week on food and everything else. In reality that means that we can't afford anything at the moment (including something fancy as a concert).

We already agreed to sell the German concert tickets and I already sold my Dutch concert ticket. But, as long as I can, I'm gonna hold on to the London ticket.

My wife said that, if there is a possibility, I should at least attend one of the farewell concerts. And London has always been on my 'wish-list'. I decided to keep the most expensive option open :-)

In the end it's also the easiest ticket to sell, if I have to (2nd row seat 47). And I'm affraid it will end up to that because bills and food always comes first. But we hope one of us (or both) will manage to get a job before April ...

At least we have our health and each other :D

Ohhh that's a nightmare Adje, not exactly the start to married life you'd hoped for I'm sure, but you're right at least you have each other!

If your wife's been made redundant are you guys not entitled to claim anything from the state? I've no idea how it works but surely there's something that can help while you get yourselves sorted out?

Thanks Lucy,

We both (will) get a monthly unemployment fee from our goverment. But it will almost all go to the house and bills. The curse of a luxery life :D

I'm a bit sad as I looked very forward to the shows. But there are so many people having it worse. And we do have a lot of fun together, money or not. So I'm fairly blessed.

In the end you can't always get everything you want. If it hadn't been for the concerts I'm sure we had our eye on something else unaffordable :twisted:

Your attitude is outstanding, not sure I'd be so calm and collected!

And you're right, if it's not Meat it's something else, so it may as well be Meat lol

Sorry to hear that Adje, like Smoggy said, great attitude. Fingers crossed things improve!!!!

Sorry to hear that Adje, to echo everyone elses sentiments, with that attitude something will turn up soon to improve the situation

as said above... very sorry to hear that adje,

good luck and best wishes for the future!!

:shock:

this is a worrying development... first facebook, and before ya know it... music downloads... from amazon!!!


you are indeed embarking upon a dangerous path

luckily i've remained strong, and will not dabble in such devil worshipping :twisted:

(though i shouldnt have dabbled with more apps :oops:)

:twisted: Sorry to hear that Adje.
Hope things turn around for you and your wife soon and that you are still able to enjoy a great show in London.

Good on you for conting your blessings, A very comendable and healthy attitude :up:

grandbaby no 5 will be arriving in august ...makes me feel really old now

I'm really regretting ever signing up for this Open University thing. This module is boring me to tears and I could quite happily be spending the time on something else.

Just opened the front page of JennaG
The Icon Meat Loaf

Looks awesome!

Looks amazing Jenna! Love the Crosses and the header is fantastic :D

Iconic Meat Loaf is looking fantastic Jenna!

all of these above

*blushes*

Aaaw thanks guys. I've been spending the past few weeks experimenting and learning about a new system and that was the result.

I've still got a few minor tweaks and additions but it's getting there. :D

Tickets have arrived :)

Put them in a safe place!

@ Jenna. What I like is how it's an up-to date Meat Loaf. A lot of my relatives still see Meat as the long haired big fella in a tuxedo with the red hanky. And I like the beautiful dark layout. Which goes with Hell In A Handbasket. Keep up the good work! :)

I wonder what the chances are on reviving the Like A Rose - Meat Loaf & Jack Black duet
to number one campaign Probably couldn't hurt. With a big tour on its way.

Well up-to-date is what I was aiming for so I'm glad you liked that. :D

Meat is so much more than that big guy who sang Bat Out of Hell with a red hanky in his hand and that it what I wanted to show.

Took the ice cream out to have a couple of spoonfuls... Nek minut, ice cream all gone.... Oops.

I don't get "nek minut" where'd it pop up from? Is it only an Aussie thing, or is it being said all around the world? It's horrible but funny when someone randomly uses it.

This is based on a true story, I really did eat all that was left of the ice cream :/ shhhhhhhhhh!

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Forum Runner

Easily done, I confess I may have been guilty of the same thing in the past... MAY have been.... Possibly...

Is there a coupe de ville hiding at the bottom of a Nek minut box? :p

Have got a cold and chest infection.... ahh... lemsip rubbish, cough medicine just dire, ear hearing aids blocked up (oh yes, I wear hearing aids now),tissues dissappearing rapidly, am at work tomorrow (cant take a sicky as hours very few at moment)... sorry I'm a typical bloke!!!:|

Could really use a hug :0(

God do I know that feeling after this week, sends a big hug and a Becks XXX

Thanks M., have one back yourself xxx

Having a whisky or several so will raise my glass to you remembering fish finger sandwiches , dunno why coz that was Sarah? lol

Now that's where you're wrong, I started the fish finger sarnie thing off while you lot were all at the M&G! They copied me!

But you didn't patient it, your loss lol
