Couldn't think of a new off topic thread name so perhaps someone can change it with a better title.
I had an odd idea.....a bit late, though...call the thread The Idle Gossips?
I'm still getting pop up adverts for Cougar dating sites. Now tonight I'm getting adverts for Chinese girls. What do they think I am? An ancient biddy after a toyboy or a lesbian with oriental leanings?
Oh and the 'Senior Dating Group' has just reappeared
*kicks cushion at the annoying ads*
Waffle? With maple syrup? Of course. *chucks diet sheet into a dusty corner*
She's eating a nice sweet
I came home from work early today because I was ill
You do not want to know the details
I do
My PC is running slower and slower. It's hopeless trying to post anything tonight
Seen as there is little happening with U2 these days I thought I would see what the cats & dogs are doing
Ooooh that Senna film is on Sky tonight. Methinks I'll watch that
The Cats n Dogs video is fab btw
Tess? How does the Irish lottery work? Do you win something if you get 3 numbers correct?
Do we have a lottery winner here?
No
I haven't bought a ticket yet. I was just wondering whether I'd have more chance of winning than in the UK one.
The euromillions have had winners in the UK recently
Yes That Scottish couple from Largs who won about £150 million.
That would do me just nicely
Just imagine winning that amount of money.
What's the first thing you would do?
I would go shopping
Pass out probably
I'd give you some money if I won £150 million
thank you!
How much exactly would you give?
A million
Really?
I could buy lots of teapots with that amount
I wonder how much interest you would get every day/week by just having 150 million in the bank.
Exactly. You could live on the interest
Well, if you are the only one who turns up for work one day I'd start making enquiries...
Jups, have you won the lottery yet, I really need you to give me that million you promised
and Tess, how many more times are you going to change your username, I keep thinking we have a new poster in the forums
Yes. I won £48 million on the Euromillions last week. I'm going to continue going in to work though. It gets me out the house.
I hate my job, if I won the lottery, I would buy the company I work for and sack the lot of them apart from the little team I work in
Oooohhhh vengeance!
Or just buy a yacht and forget about the lot of them.
Yeah, your plan sounds better than mine.
Bedtime. Night Tess/Sparkle.
I think Tess may have already gone to bed, she's very quiet
Nite everyone
Oh. How interesting
Just like at the butcher's shop
Dvd time. Night Night
PS Remember to put the clocks forward
I heard it was scorching in Scotland at the weekend... are you in there somewhere Jups
It's been scorchio for days now. When I left work yesterday my car temperature thingy was 23.5 degrees. In March! Gorgeous weather.Everyone is walking around in shorts.
Probably be snow next week.
It's been lovely weather here too, my back garden has yet to find the sunshine, bit too early in the year for it, no tan yet.
Sonisphere concert near me has been cancelled, I wonder why.....
http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/171624/9
Drought? Petrol shortage?
Just come up here for a week. Nobody really cares up here.
Night
What, and miss the Queen visiting my home town, and also the Olympic torch passing through on route to London
I'll book my flight
Sorry, I promised to be on here on extended posting duty tonight. I forgot I had my Fat Club tonight. And I lost 2 and a 1/2 pounds
But I'm definitely home tomorrow night. I'll be here. Pwomise.
Good evening. I'm hungry.
Although this story did make me giggle. Leave the bloomin' beasts alone for goodness sake!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-17596483
The Pandas ain't getting jiggy with it it seems. The male seems to need a compass...
Love this bit. What an image!
'Zoo staff said Tian Tian's tail kept getting in the way. Keepers have using a long poll to try to raise the female panda's tail. '
Psycho Kitty had no such inhibitions. The one and only time she was in heat she plonked in front of me with her bahookie raised and her tail conveniently moved 45 degrees to the side.
I guess that's why pandas are endangered and cats aren't. Stupid pandas.
Psycho Kitty is aptly named.....expecting you to 'service' her like a common tom cat, Jups.....
Indeed. She's not right in the head. I've always said that.
Did you feel sorry for her, as to you bringing her home from the shelter?
She wasn't in a shelter. She lived with 2 men. They advertised her for sale. My friends stupidly bought her for my birthday.
Ah....was wondering how she came to be your lil moggy from hell....perhaps that's why theem 2 guys sold her off....too psychotic for them to handle...
Off to bed before I raid the fridge or eat a chair leg. I hate this diet.
Night
Chair legs don't taste very nice, I tried
Not online tomorrow night, I'm off to see this guy
Night night
Good afternoon. Everyone having a nice Easter?
I'm chocolate free. I'm not happy.
Happy Easter
No chocolate here either, the one little egg I did receive, I gave away
I have not had chocolate for at least two months, I ate some yesterday & it was Yuk !!! .... my taste buds must be gone funny
How can chocolate be yuk?
Anyway, poor Jups, she's online at the moment but is having major problems trying to post anything tonight as
her internet/computer is playing up.
Hopefully she'll be back online properly asap.
I'm here but tonight ain't much better. Everything keeps freezing. Then it clears itself and runs fine for 5 minutes. Then everything freezes again.
I'm thinking of getting a new Fiesta. Does anyone have one?
Nope, not got a fiesta, can't drive
Mr Sparkle's got a ford focus, I think they are just a bigger version of the fiesta.
I love the focus very comfy to sit in as a passenger.
Yeah. Focus is the model one up from the Fiesta. I drive an Auris at the moment. It's a great car but far too big for my needs.
Never heard of Auris
off to google
Wha hae....'suup.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppp.....
Indeed. But only on a Thursday
The right proper Scottish meal.....haggis, McEwan's IPA, and some Oban......
I'm hungry
I'm still hungry
It's called being on a diet. It's how these things work.
I do not believe in diets..I go cycling & walking instead & to the gym & that way you can eat whatever you like
I do not believe in diets..I go cycling & walking instead & to the gym & that way you can eat whatever you like
I will walk more when the better weather comes in. Honest.
I walk 30 mins every day, apart from weekends, then I just walk round the shops Going to the gym builds up body muscle, and would no doubt build up the muscle in the
places I want to lose weight.
And muscle weighs more then fat. I'll never reach my target weight if I get all fit and healthy
I've never been to a gym in my life, or an exercise class
Lazy bint
Have you?
Yes ! We had a big gym at primary school. I used to shimmy up the wallbars.
Ah !! but as you say the fat truns into muscle but at the same time you get toned from the exercise & that makes you look slimmer
Ah !! but as you say the fat truns into muscle but at the same time you get toned from the exercise & that makes you look slimmer
I think I've been under my calorie limit today
Think I've been over Tues-Fri though
Bed time. Night Night.
Are you lot still counting calories I was at the gym at 8am this morning & had a bun with my tea & am now having a glass of wine
Get yourself a bike Jups, it will work wonders

It's ok Tess. I've only got another 10 lbs to lose till I reach my target weight and can have a jaffa cake
I am watching The Confessions Tour ( Madonna )...did I say i am going to see her in July in Dublin.... the tickets arrived last week
Are you standing or sitting Tess? (at the concert I mean )
It's so much better when a concert is in an arena or stadium.
One of the reasons I didn't get tickets to see Madonna this year was because the nearest venue to me was Hyde Park,
wouldn't stand a chance of seeing anything there tbh unless you get lucky enough to be at the front.
You'll have a brill time Tess, she puts on a great show.
Yes, I think she'll be rather good
I'm thinking............. going to the Hyde park gig may not be such a bad idea after all, she won't be able to order
the air conditioning off like she did when we were all sweltering waiting for her to come on stage at the O2 arena .
You can't afford it
Think of all the fun one may have here in the US on holiday....
I think she was considering Margate.
Nothing wrong with Margate I've been there
Yes, I expect you have
I've not Should I consider a visit?
Not sure if it's worth a visit, at a guess not , I can't remember much about the place tbh, I went on a day trip when I was 17.
I was more interested in a boy that I had just met there instead of the scenery.
Hussy
He was rather nice
It wasn't Mr Sparkle was it?
Nope, it was before his time, although I did know Mr Sparkle then
Trollop!
Oooooohhhhh Chelsea have won it I see. Surprised.
Wasn't really bothered tbh.
Enjoyed the game though
Where is everyone again
I'm here.
It's been hot. I've been far too busy working in my garden to switch on my PC.
Lost another pound on Monday btw
Today was the last hot weather day apparently. Back to cloud tomorrow.
I'm not happy with the weather today I'm off work all week and I want to sit in the garden!
It's definately not a sunbathing day today. My sun burn was coming on so well too
To make it worse, the weather forcast for Friday, when I go and see Coldplay is rain another concert getting soaked
Does anyone know who Rita Ora or Robyn are? they are the support acts, I've never heard of them before.
Ooooh I got it wrong completely, the support acts that I mentioned are for the day before I go.
Fridays support acts are
Ash
Marina & the diamonds
ok..................
anyone know who the hell they are cos I don't
As discussed previously I've heard of Ash. Northern Irish rock band type people. Singer is skinny with dark hair if it's who I'm thinking of
Good evening. Well, I collected my new car. I love it
But black cars are a bugger to keep clean. It's covered in mud already.
Night Night. Bedtime beckons.
Good evening. Just a flying visit tonight (because I'm scared of Tess ). I was at my Fat Club. Hopefully will hit my target next week. Going to have a cake of Galaxy to celebrate
Good evening. 3 more work days until 2 weeks holiday
Tess............... why is Jups scared of you?
I'm naturally timid. I'm scared of everybody
Evening.
Sparkle has gone to the pictures to watch the scary Alien film. In 3D. There will be a plot. She won't have a clue what's going on....
I may not go. If it's not scary it's no use to me
But you have to go!
Alien is more yukky than scary
When is the new Batman film out? I definitely want to see that
2 years time
You lie
I saw it advertised when I went to see the alien thingy
It doesn't really look like a typical Batman film tbh
No? For why?
Well................. it was at least 5 minutes into the film clip before you even got to see a Batman appearance.
I shall look on youtube for a preview.........
The trailer lasted more than 5 minutes?
Nope, it just felt like 5 minutes
One film I definately won't be seeing.
Oh wow. Batman looks fab
I really don't like supernatural films, they give me the willies
I saw The Awakening recently on dvd. It was quite scary. Did you see The Woman in Black starring Harry Potter?
The woman in Black is out on dvd now isn't it?. I've been waiting to see it in the comfort of my own
home so I will be able to watch it with the sound on mute
I've never been the same since watching The Exorcist all those years ago
The Omen was the scariest ever imo.
It's morning already
I'm off to bed
Night
Good evening
My diet has gone to pot. I was bad yesterday. Very very bad.
Evening. Psycho Kitty was missing for 5 hours today. I had the whole street checking sheds and looking up trees and everything. Then she appeared from underneath my bed. I didn't dare tell the neighbours where she'd been the whole time
Sparkle's boy cat isn't well. He's being kept at the vets for treatment and tests. Poor puss
My internet connection keeps disappearing tonight. So if I too suddenly disappear you'll know why
We have new smilies Boom Boom!
Evening. I lost a lb at the Fat Club. I'm not supposed to be losing now. I'm supposed to be maintaining. I've to eat and booze more
I shall use this one all the time. Aah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaa Boom-Boom!!!!!!!!!
I got a row for losing another pound so I came straight home and had a Baileys on Ice.
Good evening.
I've got a sore throat and a sniff. I need alcohol obv.
* leaves to get a Baileys for medicinal purposes*
I got a new bike
Anyone seen this ad on tv,,,gives me the wheebie jeebies
Doesn't look anything like him
Evening. Well, it's a local holiday tomorrow. Everyone I know has a day off. Except me.
The powers that be decided we should get English holidays because most of our phone calls are generated from England. It's totally ridiculous but we don't exist up here don't you know....
We now get the August bank holiday when all the Scottish schools are back in. Still, I quite enjoy that one. The shops are all empty.
They haven't dared remove our 2nd January one though. Let them try!!!!
I've still got 25 days to take between now and the end of December.
Wow, you get alot of days Jups, I only get 20 unless I work extra hours and accumulate days off that way.
I'm going to see this next week with some friends:
Anyone seen it yet?
Not really. I had 10 days carried over unused from last year.
I need to buy a wheelbarrow. God, what a friggin exciting life I lead....
Why do you need to buy a wheelbarrow?
To transport my chips from the front garden to the back garden. I'm covering up an area of dirt.
I'll try Argos. Might get a cheap one there.
Good evening. I so hate Sunday evenings
Me too, I can never sleep properly on a Sunday, it's the excitement of going back to work
Off to see Madonna tonight .. Byeeee
Ooooh enjoy! We expect a comprehensive report
Will look forward to hearing all about the Madonna concert
I was reading on twitter last night that it rained really bad and she was late getting on stage yet again. I hope it didn't spoil things.
Where are Jupsy & Sparkle gone
I'm here
I had computer problems. Then I had a hangover type lost weekend. I'm never touching alcohol again. It is poison.
Wow at the Madonna attendance in Dublin
What was the full capacity of that stadium Tess?
Then again, I don't think Murrayfield was sold out either. Glad you enjoyed the show anyway
Good afternoon.
Everyone enjoying the Lympics?
Spark is off competing at the Lympics. Greco-Roman wrestling superweight class. Either that or synchronised hokey kokey. I can't quite remember what she said
Sorry I haven't been around lately, I've not been feeling that great and didn't feel like sitting in front of a computer for a while.
Anyway........... I'm back Not from the Olympics but I have been watchng it on the tv.
Enoying the swimming the best, shame Rebecca Adlington lost the gold tonight in the 800mtrs. I thought she was going to win.
Andy Murray is in the final with the tennis, up against Federer, that should prove interesting
Andy Murray won gold
I wonder if Federer lost on purpose
I am pleased Andy Murray won though
Why would Fed lose on purpose?
That's a good point, I thought exactly the same but have read on the internet that some people are saying that he lost on purpose.
Surely he would of been disqualified if he wasn't playing properly
According to what I've heard, Fed was absolutely desperate to win an Olympic gold and spoke of little else for the last 4 years. Maybe he wanted it too much and the pressure got to him
You're probably right Jups.
Should never believe everything I read on the internet.
Lots of trolls.
Can't see Fed ever throwing a match.
I heard he was afraid of the crowd
Today I have purchased tickets to see Keane.
It's at the O2 arena, the stage is going to be in the middle, a bit like U2's stage was.
Excited
November is going to be busy this year, so far for that month planned.... girlies day/evening out in London followed by Sarah Millican gig.
(that's going to be fun, we are all scared of going on the underground )
Michael McIntyre at Wembley arena and then the next day Keane at the O2
Jups......... when are you seeing Michael M?
Errrrr....
November I think. I booked it so long ago I can't even remember if I've already been to it
I'll set up the 'Fav 6th track' poll tomorrow night
Fav 7th track I mean. Anyway, poll now open
Ya coulda used me as a bearskin sweater.....
Ennyhoo, after this Tuesday, I'll be done and done with school, after wading through a ream of exit paperwork....now I'm also officially certified as a pharmacy technician, and Tuesday I'll be registered to work in Florida....
I've only been watching the Oilympics sporadically here in the US, mainly due to the time difference, and been at my extern site....
Do you have a job lined up Biggie or are you still searching for something suitable?
I love cardigans
I don't like itchy cardies
I don't like anything itchy, I always cut the labels off of clothes.
Me too
And the bonus is nobody can see what size you are when you hang it over your chair.
Exactly!
Hi Tess, I can see ya!
and it's also bye for now, I'm tired, need to get some sleep.
Night everyone
I have a rotten headache all evening , I took some tabs & still have it
You need darkness. Lie under the covers and don't move your head. Watch you don't suffocate though.
And get off your PC. Glare is the worst thing ever for a headache.
I'm off to bed too. Early shift tomorrow.
Night all
I'm getting started me job search....and career services will be helping me out, as well...the place I externed is not hiring currently, but, they did ask for a copy of me resume me last day there....they were happy with me efforts and thrilled I found an error in some vial labels I was using.....averted a problem for them, I did...
Good luck with the job hunting Biggy.
I've been looking for a new job for a couple of weeks now, it's not easy when there's nothing out there
You have? You never told me. And I'm your career advisor.
No headache and you're now a size zero. See? I have my uses
Had one place interview me ysterday (Monday) for a position I applied to online late last week......was told I was one of about 6-7 interviews scheduled during this week, and, was told I'd be informed one way or the other if they were going to hire me or not...I'm still applying, though, other places...
The jobs market is terrible worldwide isn't it? You just need to hang in there. Something will turn up.
Bedtime for Jupsy.
Night all
Are you fed up having to speak Swiss all the time?
Wasn't aware of an actual Swiss 'language', per se....I know there's a german region, Italian region, French region, along with speaking English....
I thought there was a Swiss language, now can we please change the subject
Apologies for sayin anything....I'll just toddle off, never to be seen again, since I've caused such friction with Sparkle...
Hello
Hi Tess
Doesn't seem to be as many people around on both forums these days, hasn't been for quite some time
Hopefully things will pick up soon. Just need U2 to get on with a new album.
I'm hot.
Evening btw.
Good evening. Well, that's my holidays over. Back to work tomorrow. I'm not happy
Need to go to bed now. Get back in the old routine. Bah.
Night
x
Morning
I really shouldn't be here, I have to go to work and am trying to put off getting ready, hate Monday mornings
I'm off Friday aswell this week We are taking my niece to the airport, she is going to climb a mountain, Kilimanjaro for
charity. All very exciting and also very worrying
What do you have planned for your days off Tess?
I went to Tescos yesterday morning on the way back from dog walking ( 5 miles ) , amway we met a guy in the supermarket dressed as a woman .. he had a long skinny skirt on to his ankles with a flowery pattern, he had flat shoes , he had a jacket on with the hood pulled around his face & he was wearing a brown curly wig wig & makeup , must have taken him ages to get ready
Are you sure it was a man? Some women are quite butch these days.
Ive got skinny ankles. I'm not a man.
Good evening. It's so windy here. Very autumnal
I'll be here on full posting duty tomorrow night. I may even set up the next poll
I've come to waffle only I have nothing to waffle about
How was everyones weekend? anything exciting happened?
I played Monopoly for 5 hours on Saturday night. I bought the Glasgow version. It was brilliant. Loads of fun
Oh and I won. Naturally.
5 hours of monopoly, are you kidding?
Were you banker Jups?
Yes, by default. I was the only one remotely sober after about 2 hours.
We had to stop the game at 2am. It could easily have gone on for another 5 hours
Did you pinch any hotels whilst the others were not looking
No!
But I think as time went on I may have got a bit confused as to what was my money and what was the Bank's. I seemed to be awfully rich at the end compared to the others
That would be the drink
I always pinch a few hotels and houses when nobody is looking
And sneak them onto someone else if you pick up the Community Chest for property repairs....
Tricks of the trade.
I had all 4 transport hub thingys. That generated a huge income for me.
I've not played Monopoly for years, Sparkle son has the Simpsons monopoly
Do you like playing Cluedo Jups?
I love that game, bit more difficult to cheat on that one though.
I've never really played Cluedo
Did the butler do it?
depends
I think you would like Cluedo.
I may buy Cluedo.
Anyways, some of us have to work tomorrow. I'm off to beddybyes.
Night
Night Jups
Hello I'm in sunny Norfolk, I'm going to the seaside later, will be taking my coat, boots and possibly gloves
I love the sea but don't think I'll be paddling in the water today
Back online at the weekend sometime, c ya x
Yes, the beach looked rather deserted (and cold!) in that photo you sent me
Today was a glorious day in these parts.
Great Yarmouth has windmills in the sea I've never seen that before.
Strange place to put windmills
Yep
I still think it's a strange place to put them
Oh no. They are very common. Sea windmills.
They are what Donald Trump has his hair in a flap about. Proposed off shore wind farm will spoil the view from his new golf course in Aberdeenshire.
Or a nice hat
Evening. I've been out digging my garden all weekend in preparation for laying chips. Really heavy work. I sweated like a piggy for 2 days. Just popped onto the scales all excited. I'm 2lb heavier than I was last week. I truly give up...
I stepped on the scales this morning and have lost weight I am now the same weight I was 24 yrs ago
Time to eat more chocolate
Oooooh. Another big black square.
I'm sure it's good. Whatever it is.
It's a cat
Awwwwww
I forgot I had to do my next U2 song poll
I'll add that to my 'To Do' list
Yes
Will I set up my poll?
It takes bloomin ages
I'll do my poll after I make my supper...
I've procrastinated long enough.
Flippin heck, long words in here tonight
Hush.
I can't even say it
On that note, I'm off to read my Jane Eyre book. Only 8 chapters to go
Night all
Night night
Evening
I've been informed that my mum has bought a certain book.........
I don't think she has any idea at all what this certain books content is going to be
I'm horrified!
Not *that* book surely?
Yes
I can't believe it, I think she got it from the library.
I can't imagine she would really go into WH Smiths and buy it ....
would she
*The mere thought is horrific *
You are? Wow, you kept that one quiet....
Is Tess going on holiday?
I've been Christmas shopping today again, I should have all my presents wrapped by November
Have you got mine?
I got yours ages ago Jups, I've even got part of your birthday present
That's being really well prepared!
People tend to forget my birthday
I'm not usually this organised, but I saw something that was quite relevant in regards to a conversation
we have had here on bj some time ago. I kinda wanted to send it in the post straight away but I resisted
How can people forget your birthday.
Too near Christmas. Everyone is in a post-festive depression and my birthday tends to pass them by
I have no hot water, something is wrong with my heating.
It takes forever to get just 2 inches of bath water with boiling a kettle
I am stressed
I'm used to having a hot shower every morning and bath of a night time.
Yeah. I couldn't cope with being hot waterless
Does anyone else keep getting 'Mature Dating' and 'Cougar Dating' pop up adverts on this site? Is it just me?
Evening. I'm hungry. And I've done nothing but eat all night
So they think you are an animal loving environmentalist. And they think I'm just a hussy?
Well, I've now car car insurance adverts popping up.
That's because you mistakenly posted a link to Dodgy Derek's Car Repair Shop..... You'll get links to all sorts of car related pop ups now
My 'Mature Dating' Pop up is back
And to make matters worse, guess what arrived in my post yesterday?
A letter. Addressed to me. From Lloyds pharmacy.
Telling me that because I am over 60, I am eligible for free sight and hearing tests. And if I'm too infirm to get to their shops, they can visit me at home.
What's going on? Am I the victim of identify theft by a 95 year old deaf, blind, man-eater?
Don't fight it Jups, being over 60 does have some advantages
I've got a singles dating site popped up now
Just sitting here listening to the 'Under a Blood Red Sky' live dvd, in hopes it'd boost me spirits....no luck yet.....I'm sick to death of going on interviews, only to be told, 'I'm looking for someone experienced' for these pharmacy technician positions I've been applying to the past 3 months......that is, if I can even GET a fookin interview to begin with.....I'm at a point now I'm ready to chuck all that school in the dustbin, and go back to electrics, since these pharmacy managers won't even give me a chance.....
That's not good news Biggie. It's always the way of it. Companies are looking for experience but how do you gain experience if no-one will give you a chance?
Wishing you the best of luck Biggy, I hope something turns up for you soon. It's really tough out there at the moment
I cut up some red chillis & forgot to wash my hands, I then made a bread & jam sandwich & burnt my lips when I got down to the last bit as the chilli was on my fingers
My fingers keep locking. I think I've got arthritis
I've known since 1999 I have arthritis....it's a bugger when it flares up, too....
They seem to 'lock' more when it rains
I saw lots of snow today. Winter has arrived
No snow here, please keep it up there Jups
Looky look, this is funny
Brilliant! I always wanted a parrot type bird. They are so funny.
Soooooo true
Those Simon the Cat videos are a hoot....
I'm sure I could better them if I videoed Psycho Kitty. She just fell off the top of the telly. Such a clumsy beast.
Och.....poor Psycho Kitty.....'aaaaaaaaaaaa....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...chOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' scuse me....
I'm hungry
*off on a biscuit search*
Did I mention I got another chocolate supply from my brother in law
No. You didn't.
It's supposed to get really cold and snowy next week
Lets hipe the runways stay clear then
False alarm. Windy and wet by Thursday. Bah.
Does Shannon ever get snow, Tess? Once in a blue moon?
We're supposed to get some snow tomorrow morning. Before the dreaded wet and windy weather hits on Friday
I want snow....
I'm overseas shopping at the minute so I don't care about the weather
Where are you now? Shopping where? I demand to know
Tess is shopping in London
Are you back now?
I'm off to Norfolk today
I went to Tesco
What's happening in Norfolk
Bah.
People have no right to be going places.
What are the plans for Xmas.. I finish work tomorrow & am due back on New Years Eve, can you believe it
I have hardly any Xmas shopping done & anything I did do was rather begrudegingly , I am sure I have forgotten some stuff but you know what , if it's not in the bag when i get home thn it's too bad because that's it as far as I am concerned, I am sick of all this Xmas mayhem . My laptop is dead & I had to buy a new fridge as well
Hoope all you guys have a great Xmas , do not eat too much. Remember the waistlines
Hugs
T xx
hello
I've not been around much just lately, I started a new temporary job last week, finding it pretty hard going as
I'm not used to working full time, it's soooo tiring someone please tell me it'll get better?
I was sooooooo glad when I found out my new workplace has a Christmas shut down so that's me finished after
tomorrow for a week, at the moment, I think I probably could sleep for a week!
Anyway, enough waffle for now, I'll be back online properly over the weekend.
@ Tess, I hope Santa brings you a new laptop.
I'm working on Christmas Eve. Then I'm off 25th and 26th. Back at work 27th and 28th.
Think I might take the following week off.
Good evening
Back to work tomorrow
I am back to work next Monday
Has anyone been watching Boardwalk Empire...I taped season 3 & just discovered that the last episode failed to tape
No. I always meant to watch but never got round to it
I am looking to buy a pair of Asics Kayanos ,they are terribly expensive , they cost around € 160 which is quite mad for trainers
160 Euros?
Do you know that there is a burger in Las Vegas that costs $5000, & you even get a cert from the chef to say you have eaten there ,the sauce is cavier & the tip given is usually $800
Anyone who pays that should be committed
I'm off now.
Mrs Brown's Boys was so funny
I like him
I think it's really funny. The Christmas episode had me in stitches, firing baby Jesus out of a canon
Evening
Evening Spark
Jups missing again , busy hoovering over on rw i guess
I loved the nativity play. With the zebra
But I have a friend who goes to church a lot and she thought it was blasphemy too and switched it off. Oh well, each to their own.
I'm guessing there would of been quite alot of complaints about the Christmas show then I don't think
it was intended to offend.
Night Night. Dvd time.

I'm off too, night night
Night Spark ...wave

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
HAPPY NEW 2013 EVERYONE
All the best!!!
That would fairly a*se up your suspension!
Good evening
Why does (almost)everyone I know have a birthday in Jan or Feb? I'm almost skint and it's only the 4th of the month...
Bono on a pilgrimage
I hope to go to Jordan one day
I hope to go visit Jordan some day, I have seen it on tv & it looks like a fab country . There are a lot of remains of Roman cities there with streets & everything, like being in another lifetime. Because of the climate the buildings , streets & roads are in really good condition , looked fab.

I'd like to visit Petra.
When are the Christmas smileys being 'de-hatted'?
Some hats are gone, some stayed
Do we have to press a button on keyboard to clear all, I seem to remember having to do that last year.
ALL the HMV stores have closed here today
Yeah, I'm quite sad about HMV. I feel responsible with all my Amazon purchases.
Soon there will be no shops left apart from the charity ones.
I was out last night & I have a roaring headache this morning ( too much drink ) & I have to go to work
Awwww poor puss!
Psycho Kitty is in the 'doghouse'. She's taken to shredding all the soft furnishings in the house. Living room chair, destroyed. Bed settee in spare room, destroyed. Wicker laundry basket, destroyed. Bed base, destroyed.
I went and bought her a giant size scratching post today.
Laundry basket ruined here too, carpet being scratched and parts of my wallpaper have been shredded
Cat posts make nice ornaments
Anyone watching Dancing On Ice... poor Joe Pasquale
Oh dear!
Ohhhhhhh........

Oooh I've got a snow warning for Friday! Burns's night! I've bought my haggis
Sounds like I'll be rollin in snow meself, Jups, where I'm going in Pennsylvania for a 3 month temporary job....
Heavy rain now. I'm not impressed
Good evening.
Another horrid day here in Jupsyville. Rain,wind, rain, rain, wind, more rain
My back garden is now a boating pond
Yuk. Horsemeat in Burger King products now. I'm seriously thinking of going vegetarian. I've had enough of this.
You can buy this mask
I'm reading a truly awful book.

And it's getting worse!
I've finished it. Thank God.
Father Pete carried out an exorcism to rid the main character of her dead best friend's ghost. Then the ex-husband died in a cave. It was all very jolly.
Sounds interesting!
Can't believe you have to finish a book that you don't like just because you have started it.
As old Uncle Magnus used to say...
'I've started so I'll finish'.
I'm on my new book now. It's about a serial killer who wraps peoples' innards around their necks. This one's much more exciting
How on earth do you sleep of a night time
I booked my holiday today
Oooooohhhh......
Where are you going?
I am going to France, Spain and Guernsey
on a boat
No scary aeroplanes
Very wise
I'm thinking of visiting the Titanic Exhibition in Belfast btw
Just don't send me any pictues of sinking ships
Totally off topic but you never told me what your brother thought of Glasgow. Was he impressed?
He didn't really get to see much of Glasgow tbh, went there for a meeting and flew straight back home again. He was just glad to get
home before all the snow got really bad.
If I hadnt of been working I might of gone with him just to have a nosey around for a few hours even if it meant going in a scary aeroplane.
I could have met you for lunch
Oh well, maybe next time.
Ooooohhh a documentary about Hadrian's Wall
I'm such an anorak
You are
Did you see the documentary on Richard III? I watched it, was really good.
I watched it. Naturally. I found it hysterical. That mad Phillipa woman. She wasn't best pleased when her hero turned out to be a hunchbacked nancy boy
And I did laugh when that excavating bones woman managed to whack Old Dick's skull with her pickaxe. 'There is evidence of a head injury' says her gravely. Well, if there wasn't before, there feckin is now....
Thought you would be amused.
I can't believe how much twaddle you've posted tonight. As a Mod you should be ashamed
Thank goodness I was here to keep things on topic.
Anyways, my dvd and a vodka top up awaits.
Nighty Night
x
And just what's wrong with useless twaddle?? I'm becoming an expert, especially bein on my hooves, er, feet, all day, at the hospiyal where I'm working as a pharmacy tech....
Have any of you had any Orse burgers, poor horses, I feel sorry for them
They said on the news here that there are 70,000 horses missing in Ireland
I do love roast lamb chops though Slurp !!!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....lamb................and a nice mint sauce...............with roasted potatoes and carrots.....
I have never eaten (as far as I know ) and could never possibly eat in a million years:-
rabbit
venison
horse
lamb
and I'm quickly going off chicken,turkey,beef and pork. I feel rather about the whole situation.
I rather like rabbit, meself....especially the way my dad's late lamented mum used to make it.....hosenpfeffer....with spaetzle.....although, it's been more than 30 years since I had rabbit last...
I had a pet rabbit as a child. The thought of eating big Frisky...
Big Frisky, is that what he/she was called?
At least my rabbit had a proper Rabbits name, Sid
His name was Frisky Rabbit. But he was big. Verrrrry big.
I bought him because he was the smallest, most timid looking wee rabbit in the pet shop. He grew. A lot.
He looked very much like this one
Frisky Rabbit
Awwwwwww cute
He was anything but
He loved chewing liquorice caramels and used to sink his teeth into any body part that came within his reach. An evil big brute.
I loved him though
Book time.
Night Night
James Bond dvd has been purchased
I may even watch it tonight.
I don't like Daniel Craig as JB
No!
How can you not like Daniel Craig?
He's the 2nd best JB ever. After Sean of course
I watched Skyfall again, it's a great film.
Have to say though, I think Daniel Craig is the best James Bond
Sean is 2nd on my list, sorry Jups
Above Timothy Dalton?
Bored.......................................
I saw a gorgeous Samoyed dog today. I want one.
I'm still waiting to see what me mum's schnauzer/terrier mix looks like, since I'm near 1100 miles from the Florida house right now...will get to see the 'new' dog come June, methinks, when this current job I have as a pharmacy tech finishes...
Awwwww. I demand photos. Schnauzers are very cute
I love Schnauzers as well, they have lovely faces & are very playful
How is the job going in Pennsylvania Biggy , have you settled in
We have freezin cold weather over here
I think I'm pretty much settled in at this point...still asking the odd question on stuff I'm not sure about...it was arounf 15C this past weekend, but, will be back down to about 7C by this weekend coming up....it's presently raining here and close to 10C, with some NNW breezes, and temps falling to near 2C tonight...
Had one of the ladies I'm working with ask me over the weekend at work if I had access to a fridge and a microwave where I'm staying, and, I said I have both available, to which she then asked me if I'd be interested in some home-made stew her husband had made Saturday morning, since, I don't get too many home cooked meals these days...I said, only if you want to, I'd be interested...she brought me in a small container of stew Sunday, which I had for lunch yesterday and today...they have me working weekends now at the hospital where I'm a pharmacy tech...I don't rightly mind, since, I've worked weekends before elsewhere....
Oh joy. Scotland defeated at rugby again....
Snow. Snow. Snow.
March has been terribly snowy here in Scotlandshire
I'm back.
Any sign of the new album in my absence?
