It's not been a good few days for Thurgood/Stairs interaction has it? Andy No, it really hasn't. I'm thinking I shall stick to ramps for a couple of days. Either that or force reality to do a cutaway shot and pick me back up at the bottom of each flight. My bruise from this morning is a cracker - located pretty much where it is impossible to walk without feeling it. Karl

Next thing I knew I was in the air doing a neat 180 reversal. I fetched up at the bottom of the three steps, on my back, pointed the opposite way round to that I had started. I pulled off a similar manoeuvre getting into the shower once. You don't know just how bad your own testicles look until you've looked up and found them hanging just over your head. Somehow I went from standing up to upside-down-in-a-seated-position on the floor without suffering a scratch. Most bizarre. -Nick

I've only ever managed such a spectacular fall while ice-skating (for only the second time) when I went up in the air only to land on my left shoulder and the right side of my face. Folks thought i was dead.

Folks thought i was dead. That, Andy, is nothing. Mrs Toys has been Ice Skating once years ago. She fell over early on and broke her leg. The ambulance crew arrived to take Liz off the rink but unfortunately didn't give her enough gas so she screamed when they moved her onto the stretcher. As she was carried out they passed a small boy on the way in who turned to his Mother and said "Mummy I don't think I want to go Ice Skating anymore"

It is sad news that today I have been barred from saying stuff rules for a week. The missus claims that the gimmick is driving everyone up the wall and I could end up in solitary . I find that hard to beleive. Better concentrate on essay. ===KEN

Just walked back from an early evening lecture at the National Museum by Prof. Mick Aston, the bearded dude off of Time Team. Quite a disappointment actually, as he just gave a slide show of how the series is filmed, rather than teaching us anything about archaology or history. Wasn't really worth missing Batman for.
Though I'll probably give the new series a look in the spring. Used to watch it when I was at university, but lapsed in recent years. It was quite a relaxing way to spend an hour of Sunday evening.
Two more days, then I'm off work for two and a half weeks. Hurrah! (Though I shouldn't really cheer. The new job's still a novelty and a lot of fun, teleconferences aside.)

Had to make Uni aware of certain, ah, issues outwith my control that may require assistance from them next month. Bit of a probelm looming large.

As she was carried out they passed a small boy on the way in who turned to his Mother and said "Mummy I don't think I want to go Ice Skating anymore" In one word - Owch. Not a nice experience at all. No falling over for me today (well, nearly slid down the side of a hill on my way home but that was my own fault. Overestimated how frosty it was and forgot about the groundwater upwelling that makes it a bit slippy. No harm done, I rebalanced before I fell). Managing to get quite a bit of stuff squared away work-wise this week, which is rather nice. Only a week and a half to go before we close up shop for the New Year period (and I have a half-day next wednesday too). A load off my mind today - I realised that I was carrying around a bit too much weight of hair so I dondered down to the barber and got my semi-regular clipper cut (the one that my uber-boss reckons is much like Eccleston's Doctor, and my boss thinks make me look like I'm in the USMC). Feels much better to have the hair tamed once more, but I am definitely going to be needing the hat at the moment. Discovered the joys of booking train tickets on-line this evening - instead of sitting around in Waverley station for an hour or so trying to book a trip away, I came home and fiddled around with National Expresses web-site. In fifteen minutes, from the comfort of my own front room the trip was all organised. Definitely a better way to do it. Karl

Thank you for the Birthday wishes everyone! Ah, my first Hub Birthday! I did, indeed, have a good one! Happy birthday Shockprowl! While looking for the birthdays notification at the bottom of the page, I noticed that all the ads at the top are for shops selling TFs while all the ones at the bottom are all for curry. Excellent. -Nick For my birthday I had toys AND curry! As well as that there was lunch out, ales, playing with Piglet, eating illegal amounts of chocolate, more ale, splash of wine and watching some of the special features on the Transformers Movie DVD that the long suffering Mrs Shockprowl was fool enough to buy me (I love her!) and basically chilling out feeling ever so slightly older! G1 MP Starscream still hasn't arrived, but he's deffo imminent. Also received a LARGE boxa goodies off the splendid Primenova that's kept me busy. Overall a cracking Birthday! First shift back this icey AM. 3 days shifts, then a late on Sunday. Working at an outlaying station today. Which means either a quite shift, or the shift from hell in my previous experience! Let you know later which one! If I get chance! Hope everyone is doing ok, bruises recovering etc. Hero, you go right-on RULESin things! Don't let 'em take away your God given right to RULES things, man! Phil, hope you feel better soon mate. Glad baby feeling better.

That's it. After reading Doc's posts from last night, I'm sending Ratchet out to investigate. He may have had a brain spasm!!! (the crazy son-of-a-)
Anyone heard from his this morning?

From the highs to the lows. A personally very draining and upsetting day, and that had nowt to do with my hangover, which was pretty mild actually.

Oh dear. There are noisy parties going on in the flats to both sides and above me. It's going to be fun trying to sleep tonight.

Sounds like a real drag.
Might be worth getting a set of headphones for that wee mp3 player and maybe putting on a couple of Whodios and drifting to sleep that way.

Andy's idea might be a good idea. Either that or some background music to help to modulate the noise levels.
You have my sympathies though. One of the things I miss least about living in a flat is having noise from neighbours below me. At least where I am now there is no chance of noise from below (short of a burrowing Giant Monster on its way to attack Grangemouth or something).

Try earplugs Ralph, apparently they do actually work (from my friends who have to share rooms when they're visiting; both snore like chainsaws).
And apparently I can't hug you to make you feel better, which puts me out of the running as Hugman.
Oooooops maybe I should post that elsewhere.

Ah I like it, the fight fire with fire strategy. Apparently the Americans used a similar strategy in sieges when in Iraq (1st and 2nd time). I completely forgot which was the song that burst the camel's eardrum, but it does work!.

I'm pretty sure Van Halen, Metallica and Rick Astley were all deployed in service of the cause.

No Andy, you are quite mistaken. A beautiful soulful voice damaged by pimping that dross that SAW produced. A tragedy if ever there was one. Actually the Reynolds Girls would be even worse...

Conclusive proof that SAW could put a turd on the stage and the public would buy it.
I like RA's post SAW work as well, it gets more than half the tracklisting on his Greatest Hits.

I spoke too soon. The hoover is now on upstairs and they appear to be clog dancing next door. Hmmm. I may have to deploy Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds now.
