2008 Week 22

[The Doctor]

The week begins with me rather unexpectedly waking up with a head cold and not at all being amused by it. Bad timing.

-Ralph

[Hero]

Hang in there buddy.

[The Doctor]

I have completely lost all sense of reality having spent the better part of the last 13 hours banging out close to ten thousand words of an essay. I must have been tense. Since I finished, the most terrible farts have been coming out of my body at a frightening rate of knots. It's quite something to behold. If only I could control this and harness this awesome power for good.

-Ralph

[karla]

bwahahahaha!!! Doctor, you could be THUNDER PANTS MARK II

I've been doing Hama beads demonstration-thingy in the shop today, I may post pictures of the banana wearing a scarf I constructed!
but I had the cutest little girl there, she was 3, nicknamed bam-bam she was so adorable I can't describe the cutness, it was sad when she had to go she had some very interesting things to say.

[The Doctor]

Awwwwww.

Honestly, I cannot stop these evil farts. I am going to have to leave the window open tonight. They didn't say this might be one of the unexpected effects of doing a personally demanding course.

-Ralph

[karla]

just try and relax doctor, no need to worry now is there? you've done the work!

hows-a-bout taking real deep breaths?

[The Doctor]

I shall try.

This has to end soon! It has to!

-Ralph

[karla]

hooray!!!

yes, it does. Don't give up

[Shockprowl]

Acute severe inverse respiration is my official diagnosis, Doc'. Did it stop in the end? Or have you just blown away into nothingness?!

Hello Sports fans! Had a smashing weekend off. The beer festival was mucho coolio, I drank a quite fantastic amount of wonderfull ales. Real Ale, it's what civilisation is all about.

On a day shift today, then tmw I got an induction down in Sheffield Uni for my Paramedics course. Going on the train me thinks. It all starts here!

[andrewbcalculating]

On the bus to work, I overheard a conversation between a young man and a young women. From what I can gather, the young man works for a company selling internet advertising but I don't know what the young lady does. Now its obvious that they both like each other even though they are not currently involved with each other but the problem is that she is an air head and he isn't far behind. To give you an example of what he has said to her, he has said:

"You would look great in pictures" and "you do a lot of thinking now-a-days".

I know he is trying to compliment her but he is going about it all wrong as his choice of complimentary phrases is just awful.

|<o>|

[The Doctor]

It stinks in here.

Also: slept in. Argh. But the postie just brought some readables from amazon.

-Ralph

[grahamthomson]

Andrew, how would you have gone about paying a compliment to the young lady?

[Shockprowl]

I'da said: "Hey baby, yous a honey, fancy gettin' all jiggy wi me?"

[Dezzeh]

That is a guaranteed lady winner right there if ever I saw one!

[Hero]

"Hey baby you are someone that RULES"

===KEN

[andrewbcalculating]

A compliment on the young lady's hair is probably a good place to start, I've noticed recently a lot of the women at work compliment other womens hair.

|<o>|

[Shockprowl]

"Hey baby, yous got nice hair, fancy playing hide the sausage?"

[Shockprowl]

Aaargh so busy!!!


We've begun to realise that Piglet is a 'Muck-Tub'. If it involves begin mucky, she loves it. Partic the sandpit at Grandma Cookie and Granddad Bri Bri's house. Rubarb. Baked Beans. Mud (we or dry). Cut grass. Water. Yoghuart. Cheese spread. Now I know loadsa kiddies like getting their hand dirty, but with Piglet it's the look of utter concentration on her little round face! Wide eyed!

[karla]

Hero's chat up line!!!!!!!!! I couldn't stop laughing at that

[legios]

Egad. I think there may have been something in one of the dishes at the Chinese Buffet that didn't agree with me. It has been pointed out to me, and I have confirmed in the mirror that my face is extremely red and blotchy. I look like I am turning into the current incarnation of the Hulk or something. Most unpleasant, hopefully the rash will begin to fade in due course.

Karl

[The Doctor]

I had such a splendid pizza last night that I feel another one must be had before this weekend is out!

-Ralph

[legios]

I still seem to be alarmingly red and patchy. I think I may need to get some anti-histamine tablets in due course to see if I can get this sorted out if it doesn't improve overnight.

Most disquieting.

Karl

[The Doctor]

I suspect you have been taken over by...the Crystal Skull!

-Ralph

[karla]

Doctor your diagnosis sounds awful, will he survive?

[The Doctor]

No, he's doomed.

In other news, I expected to spend the weekend re-drafting the 10K Essay Of Doom, but a proofread this morning showed that it was actually 100% fine as it was. I now unexpectedly have the weekend off. How splendid!

That's ok. I can always be restored from a back-up. (That's the wonders of external memory).

Excellent! Just in time for the good weather too! I think I might grab a book this afternoon, full a big mug full of Orange,Mango and Cinammon Tea, get one of the folding chairs out and sit out in the garden for a while.

Karl

[The Doctor]

Bugger damnation! Heyfever has struck. If I go outside, I am annoyed by sneezing. If I stay inside in this nice weather, I am annoyed by being inside.

I may have to destroy the world.

*reaches for red button*

After the washout that was last weekend, spent a very pleasant day outside showing people the lovely peregrines that I am unable to show you due to crappy webcam syndrome and the apparent poor eyesight of Hubbers in general (look - the adult's on the head of the statue and one chick is poking out of the nest as I type, for Cribbins' sake!). OK, OK, it doesn't look like much if you don't know what it should look like through a 'scope, I admit it. Yeah, and the thing to the right of the nest that I originally said was a bird is in fact a green plant with yellow flowers.

Three chicks all well and absolutely huge compared with a fortnight ago. The white fluff is now only visible on parts of their bodies, and the biggest chick flaps its wings as if impatient to fly. It'll be airborne within a fortnight, I believe.

Towards the end of the afternoon Dad peregrine had an amusing dogfight with a seagull twice his size - kept divebombing it again and again in the air, without actually hitting it (though I really hoped he would take it out - being larger, Mum might have).

Same again tomorrow after church.

Now to put feet up with a well-earned evening of Doctor Who, Law & Order and reading. Ooh, and a bubble bath, I think.

I popped down the Botanic Gardens for a while after the sneezing calmed down and parked myself on a bench with a lovely ice-cream from Thorntons and a big cartoon of milk. Alas, it was unsufferably hot so I retreated home for a while. As I was reading, I was thinking of nipping out for a couple of beers to stick in the fridge for the evening when I promptly fell asleep and recently awoke feeling terribly confused.

I an see the adult sitting on the statues head, and I think I can possibly make out the youngster at the moment, but I'm not 100% certain on that latter.
