:eyebrows:

ich bin wrecked

I think Kelly is in her early 30s its the first time i'm meeting anyone from that bit of the family so whether i get to meet the rest of them depends on how well Saturday goes!! At least my Mum is warming to the idea now lol!!

It will be fine...or it won't be at all...either way...I don't think you have anything to loose? But possibly something to gain...

Sorry I've bolted...my soap opera was on...so now villain is dead...who killed the villain??? There was a line to kill him...like any self-respecting Southerner would say...he NEEDED killing...LOL...

Why the feck am I still up :shock::shock::shock::shock::shock: !!

Night/morning all :coffee: :zzz: !!!!!!!!!

same here :D
youve not been watching veeeeery old reruns of Dallas, have you? :p

No, I am watching Russian soap operas...which are not really Russian...one is a translation of German one, and the other some South American...while German based one is more realistic...the other one is so OTT that it's funny...and Russian commercials are HYSTERICAL...worth watching just for that!

what's the German one? (name, characters, plot)

I might regret that I asked this.....

I am translating from Russian - so really don't know the original name...in Russian it's called something like Fire of Love...

It's about 2 young people in love and all the problems that they are facing. He is rich, another girl is pregnant by him, he marries the other girl cause she is pregnant, the main girl goes to jail for supposedly killing her father who actually was killed by her stepsister, then the wife of the main hero gets hit by a car (same stepsister) and loses the baby while once again main girl is set up to take a fall for it...

I am sorry I am watching this...LOL...

letter from betty, excellent

arrived late and left early lol

thats how work should be

Whoever came up with the mantra that the customer is always right should be shot out of a cannon...found 50 miles away put in another cannon shot back to their original starting point and be forced into this procedure 25 times per day...

far too wet... will give ze rugby a miss

oh right

can a headache be linked to hungar?

aye

(i think it was linked to alcohol though)

thank feck.... big brother ends tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kill ~~~~ die!

All soaps seem to be the same - convoluted plots that forever twist...and that is what makes them so fascinating; a puzzle of real life, supposedly. Seeing this makes me feel less guilty to being a Y&R and B&B fan!

I don't watch American ones...but these I am compelled to watch...nostalgia really...

grrr the rain is so heavy the sky box has no signal...

I need to change my bed clothes, I seem to have gotten bites and I don't know where they have come from but they itch !! Need to curve sleeping habits, going to bed after 6AM is not a good routine to get into :shock:. Also Thursday saw it's 500,000th customer at Hairspray, man if only I had decided to go on Thursday it could have been me...


That lucky girl has one hell of a memory :angst:.

:heart:.

Just asked my niece how tall is her boyfriend as he looks really tall in the photos OMG he's 6ft 7!!! He can sit on the sofa and not move otherwise i'm gonna feel like a munchkin lol!!

jeez, 600 views and overtaken the latest Pearl, squiggle's got alot to answer for lol

buqqer, just seen the time, be calling me MeatGrl1 now lol

Well...I bring you important news...

I just tried my first rattlesnake...

Now...if anybody tells you that rattlesnake tastes like chicken...rattlesnake does NOT taste like chicken...chicken tastes like chicken...

In fact...rattlesnake tastes remarkably like a....rattlesnake...

Why is it so hard to type when you're not 100% sober???

I'm still tired, despite going to bed relatively early :shock: !!

I don't like this wet weather, it makes me less inclined to go out, however I have to brace it sooner or later I guess...

Boxes, gotta get my arse in gear, shelves as well, oh yeah, cable tacks

Yes boxes lol!! I'm off to Sainsburys now so let me know what time you're collecting them!!

Today lol

As in first thing this morning i think your text said!!

ta for the feedback on US politics ! and thank Loaf it's Saturday neh ? ... :D ...

first thing I'll DO in the morning lol

Well at some point in the next hour and a half do you think you could manage to collect them so my flat looks ok for me meeting my niece for the first time!!

we're leaving in 5 mins


dont panic lol

Argh! Too much to catch up on!!

Yes, yes it is, but at least it's a fairly old car (6 and a half years), it's only a peugeot 106 so nothing really fancy or expensive, it'd already been scratched on the bonnet by someone with something like a key, and down the side (albeit mostly polished out now) by some idiot with a green car who drove down the side of it on a car park...so these fresh scratches don't bother me so much as they would if it were new.

what I am more worried about though, is if someone does something to the vehicle that will cost me money - such as slashing my tyres or similar - since the damage to mine, I've now heard of a couple of other people who had their tyre's slashed on that street...and my mum noticed 3 other vehicles parked on the same street the other day, all of which had scratches on them similar to mine. anyway, since it happened twice, i reported it to the police. I've also put in for a visible presence with tameside's patroller service (who will now check on that street for a month) - who have got the police (well, PCSOs) involved as well...so hopefully, not only will this make our vehicles a little safer, but they might also catch the idiot that did the damage!

In my humble opinion (because I operate both Vista and XP at home, XP and 2000 at work, and also have PCs with Windows 98 and 95 tucked away somewhere)...Vista's main problem is that it doesn't seem very stable. Granted it doesn't crash as often as 98 did but it reminds me a lot of 98. Additionally it has that stupid hidden "computer administrator" account (as opposed to the "Administrator" account) which makes a lot of installations a tricky and (for me) nerve wracking experience! I think it took people a while to warm to XP because it was such a change from 2000. Once I got used to it, I didn't mind it at all...and in fact, having been pretty used to 98, I don't mind Vista all that much MOST of the time. I do agree there are problems with Vista, but I also think a lot of people's mistrust of it, is that it is different.

That's really brill...I have a lot of my family I've never met or not seen for 20 years or more, and although I can imagine it would be incredibly nerve wracking, I would dearly love to be able to meet up with them...good luck, I hope it goes well! :-)

Difficult customer huh? Anyway, you misunderstood the mantra. the idea is to make the customer THINK you believe they are right (most customers believe they themselves are right anyway!!)
Anyway, kinda reminds me of something...my grandfather (who died on Christmas Eve 1990) used to collect the funny cartoon / comic strips / jokes out of newspapers. When he had a heart attack and we had to bring my Granny to the UK (they lived on the Isle of Man) we found the box of newspaper clippings, and whilst he was in hospital, I was going to put them into a scrapbook for him, to keep him amused (I was 9 at the time, he'd've appreciated it from a 9 year old, ok) but sadly he passed away before it was completed. I kept the newspaper clippings for a long time though, and had some of the ones that amused me the most on my wall. One of those was (blimey this is becoming a very long story!) a picture of a guy on stepladders, obviously in a shop, painting a very large sign which read "The customer is already right"...and behind him was an elderly lady...and the caption said "There are two t's in Right, young man". Ah well...amused me!

Ooooh...anyone know of a link to it anywhere online? As I missed it!

and now as to thoughts, although i had an excellent evening with friends yesterday, today received sucky news that unsettled me, so today now is a shite day. why can't life just leave me to get on with it and not keep throwing all manner of shite at me?:-(

I feel a bit lonely in this thread at the moment...! :? lol!

but anyway...does anyone know, if I remove someone as a friend on fb will they and their friends still be able to see themselves in pics of mine they are tagged in? in fact, will they still remain tagged?

:wave: @ Helen

Hey Helen, Yeah it's rather quiet on this site at the moment.
Hope ya feeling a bit more cheered up later today. X Factor is on in a bit, so that's always a good laugh.
Not sure about FB if people remained tagged. I reckon they do. People can def see pictures as long as they are tagged I believe, but it may also depend on the album settings of the photos. You may want to set that to "everyone" instead of "just friends" in this case.

Hope ya not deleting ME from your friends list!!!

It depends who you're letting to see your pictures. It says...only friends, friends of the friends, everybody, etc...and yes, they will remain tagged...

This horrible weather in England is not making ANYONE feel great at the moment. Bring back the sunshine in our lives RIGHT NOW!!!

:twisted: You fell for that one huh? :mrgreen:

Why is it that chicken is the scapegoat of the culinary world? :wtf:

Any food that was never intended to be food in the first place seems to be given credibility by the eater with the explanation "it tastes like chicken".

I've used that line myself talking about Duck (though I really do believe duck tastes like chicken, only nicer).

In the first book in the Red Dwarf series, the character Rimmer is shown to hold the opinion that DODO tastes like chicken, only much more expensive :nuts:

Meat Loaf once famously wrote "smells like fried chicken" on one of the album pressings.


What the feck has the poor chicken done to deserve the constant comparison to some of the more unorthodox dining habits of man?

And what part of a chicken are things supposed to taste like?
Personally, I won't touch a chicken leg, but love a good bit of breast (que the titties and beer song) as they are very different.
So are all these things supposed to taste like leg, breast, or wing?
Perhaps it is this bountiful variety on one bird that lends the taste of it's meat to so many pretenders.


And what if a person had never had chicken before?
Someone gives them rattlesnake duck dodo in snail sauce and tells them "it tastes just like chicken".
That person is going to think "if this is what chicken tastes like, screw it".
The poor innocent chicken has his reputation sullied even further.



I think the chicken has been given a pretty raw deal :sad: .

Rest assured I am not :-)

Missed X-Factor though taking the parents out for an anniversary meal (it's their 39th and they wanted me to go with them to help them celebrate) but we're now back and watching the Xtra factor on ITV2+1 :D

That was ace, just looked up from my laptop and saw Paul Crook on TV - I'm watching a Cribs special and he was in a clip with Sebastian Bach! :D:D

Thank you Helen it did go really well My niece is really lovely we talked for about 5 hours and looked at family photos from both sides She is my Dad's grand daughter from his first marriage so the next stage is meeting my half brother, his wife and my nephew which will mean more nerves!! At least that wont be at my flat so i wont have to tidy again lol!!

Glad to hear it went well!! :-)

It will be just fine, Em...how can you doubt it? Please don't be nervous...you're a star!!!

Ha ha i always thought i looked like my Mum but i think i'm gonna have to accept th older i get the more i look like my Dad lol!!

you'd know you were related lol.. glad it went well

i deserve to have been caught speeding there

YOU CALL THIS A STORM ????????????? ...:shock: ...

Took the plunge just now and bought Live At The Royal Albert Hall - 2000 & Alone Together - Live At The Donmar - 1995 as I have been wanting to see these for awhile now :cool: :lol:. Can't wait for them to arrive, it's quite exciting actually, LOL.

It's been a good day, spent the evening round at the flat, dad did pizza's :cool:.

i've called animal cruelty on the neighbors in back of my house... that poor dog has been in the yard in the storm crying all day... i went round the house to find them not home... this isn't the first time they've left that dog to have it barking and howling all hours of night ... i feel badly for the poor thing... being the "mum" of a 10yo pup meself ! .. i can't imagine leaving her out in the yard even an hour alone !! ... or half and hour...

or 5 minutes !!

t...

Well...we actually did have a storm and lost power...and it was raining cats and dogs and other smallish objects...

In any event...just came back...

Em...she looks JUST like you...amazing!!!

So glad you had a good time!!!

lovely pictures Emma and yea what a resemblance..

yea Andrew its terrible..dont think its ever gonna stop raining..normally once the kids go back to school the sun comes out for a few weeks so dont know whats happened this time..lol..its cold as well as wet..:roll:

My neighbours over the past 24 hours have so far tortured me with the 15 year old son's awful awful taste in dance 'music', the dog howling like a banshee, the mother yelling so loud no doubt you could all hear her? and now the 'baby' (he's almost 2) is demonstrating a lung capacity with potential to be bigger than the mother's. What I don't get is why it's still screaming the place down and no one has done anything about it :-(

I am wondering if this is all punishment for something I did wrong in a previous life...!

Tired :zzz:.

Mabe watching films at stupid O' clock is not a good idea :shock: and why is the shoutbox thread in French ?!

don't think we're gonna get any sunshine now :-( sometimes feels like ever! but it's my birthday next weekend and it always always* rains on and around my birthday, and usually the weekends either side of it.

*in 27 years the only years it's not rained are 1991 and 2002. I await 2013 with glee... ;) (oh, and the day after I was born, in 1981, it snowed)

Judging by the time you were active on fb this morning, I was gonna say I'm surprised you're even up....tho then I remembered MB's Sunday brunch, lol! So no wonder you're knackered!!

And... why is the shoutbox thread in French was my question ;)

:lol:

That's the new light fitting up, now for the shelves

More to the point would be WHERE'S the shoutbox? I ain't got it

cant get the headless children album :(

Looking at your friends ain't enough??? ;)
