Chit Chat 2...what was wrong with version 1

Posted by: Sydney 15th September 2013, 05:25 PM

I have a weeks holiday this coming week & guess what !!! it's lashing out of the heavens plus heavy gales

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th September 2013, 07:29 PM

Are you going away anywhere Tess?

Posted by: Sparkle 15th September 2013, 07:48 PM

Have to start a new thread when there are a thousand posts in one.
Don't ask me why, can't remember now

Evening

I also have a week off work, and it's crappy weather here too..........

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th September 2013, 08:15 PM

Clear out your wardrobes!

Posted by: Sparkle 15th September 2013, 08:24 PM

Done that today put most of my summer clothes away, swapped the sandals for ankle boots

I have exciting decorating to look forward to this week, and if it all gets done within the week, I shall have a day
out to Woburn Abbey wildlife park..... in the rain

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th September 2013, 08:27 PM

I planted some bulbs...

Posted by: Flatcap 15th September 2013, 08:30 PM

It has been disappointing weather wise here as well, the good news is that I saw my brother today for my dad's birthday lunch.

Posted by: Sparkle 15th September 2013, 08:34 PM

Nice to spend time with Family Flatty, hope you had a good day.

@ Jups, do you want some more seeds?

Posted by: Flatcap 15th September 2013, 08:38 PM

Good day here thanks.

Anyway, you managed the wardrobe. How about the handbags?

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th September 2013, 08:44 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Sydney 15th September 2013, 09:37 PM

Nope ... just chillin out, I am very good at that

Posted by: Sydney 15th September 2013, 09:40 PM

And a belated good evening to one and all. I was at the library attending a talk by an esteemed criminologist. He was talking about psychopathic serial killers. It was extremely interestin = posted by Jups



I brought this accross from Chit Chat 1 as I found it interesting


How did you end up going to that Jups..I love all that kind of stuff ...any tips

Posted by: bigwiglaf 16th September 2013, 11:17 PM

*starts singing to self Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup'...*

Posted by: Jupiter9 17th September 2013, 08:50 PM

Tips on how to be a successful psychopathic serial killer?

Posted by: Flatcap 17th September 2013, 08:58 PM

There may well be cause for concern there.

Posted by: Jupiter9 17th September 2013, 09:04 PM

There's a Psychopath Test you can complete on line. I couldn't resist

But you'll be glad to know I scored very low. I'm not a psychopath. Apparently.

Posted by: Jupiter9 17th September 2013, 09:05 PM

Here it is!

http://personality-testing.info/tests/LSRP.php

Posted by: Sparkle 18th September 2013, 12:59 PM

Done I'm not a psychopath

Posted by: bigwiglaf 18th September 2013, 03:38 PM

Took that survey last night.....apparently, I may have some psychopathic tendencies, due to where my answers fell in the graph...

Posted by: Sydney 19th September 2013, 09:14 AM

What

I think it's all that solo driving between States that you do ....Could a Robbie fan be a Psychopath , we already have Psycho Kitty & that's enough

Posted by: Sydney 19th September 2013, 09:22 AM

I did the test & am within the low range so you are all quite safe

You have completed the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale.

The LSRP measures two scales.

Scores range from 1 (low) to 5 (high).

Your score from primary psychopathy has been calculated as 1.8. Primary psychopathy is the affective aspects of psychopathy; a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations.

Your score from secondary psychopathy has been calculated as 1.8. Secondary psychopathy is the antisocial aspects of psychopathy; rule breaking and a lack of effort towards socially rewarded behavior.

Posted by: Flatcap 19th September 2013, 04:12 PM

I notice an ominous silence on this.

Hopeful of getting to King's Lynn on the other side of the county this weekend.

Posted by: Sydney 20th September 2013, 10:39 AM

Do we know anyone famous from Kings Lynn

Posted by: Flatcap 20th September 2013, 02:26 PM

More people than I thought had connections with the town.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Lynn#Notable_people

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:01 PM

Captain Mainwaring lived there!



Evening btw. I'm not long home from work. Tired.

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:15 PM

As for my criminologist....

My friend works in the library and decided I was going along. The criminologist was born in the town and returns now and again to give talks about his work.

He's pretty famous. He pops up on the telly quite a lot. I'll go find a link.

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:16 PM

Here he is

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:22 PM

Evening Sparkle.

I'm watching Homes under the Hammer on telly

Posted by: Sparkle 20th September 2013, 07:25 PM

Hi Jups

I was channel hopping, can't find anything to watch on tv.

I shall admire my new wallpaper instead

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:27 PM

You'll need to turn your chair round!

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:28 PM

Why is your house so tidy btw? Where are all the carrier bags and all the piles of shoes?

Posted by: Sparkle 20th September 2013, 07:32 PM

Tidy my house

I only let you see the tidy bits Jups, beyond the camera everywhere is a mess

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:34 PM

So you just photograph the tidy bits?

Fox...

Posted by: Sparkle 20th September 2013, 07:38 PM

yeah

Me not silly

Anyone up to anything exciting this weekend?

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:39 PM

I'm going to Tesco

Posted by: Sparkle 20th September 2013, 07:42 PM

Tesco's here too
Then I'm going to the shops to buy some new work clothes or I may just get them out of Tesco's too

I'm going to Milton Keynes on Monday to see Sarah Millican, not at the shops but in a theatre

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:44 PM

How many times have you seen her now?

I quite fancy that new film Rush. Not going this weekend though.

Posted by: Sparkle 20th September 2013, 07:48 PM

This will be the fourth time I think not many comedians make me laugh as much as she does, it's a new show so should be good.

Is that the time travelling film?

Posted by: Flatcap 20th September 2013, 07:50 PM

Yes, Captain Mainwaring. I have been watching Dad's Army on BBC2 on Saturday evenings lately.

Posted by: Sparkle 20th September 2013, 07:52 PM

the classics are always the best.

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:57 PM

Dad's Army is still fab. As is Rising Damp

Posted by: Flatcap 20th September 2013, 07:57 PM

Hopefully I will be up and heading to King's Lynn as planned tomorrow, the rest of the weekend I will have to edit my article for a local church magazine.

Could have sworn swear words were permitted...

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 07:58 PM

What's your article about Flatty?

Posted by: Flatcap 20th September 2013, 08:03 PM

Well I am a church enthusiast and therefore I have picked up on some interesting features of the local churches. I am doing a series on the ones in the local group of churches.

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 08:07 PM

Architectural features you mean?

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 08:12 PM

Off to have my bath and read my book.

Night Night

Posted by: Flatcap 20th September 2013, 08:12 PM

Yes, architectural features is what I am referring to. I am looking forward to revisiting the smaller parishes, two of them have been for the most part locked with keyholder information and not everyone goes to get the key, the other one is redundant and only used a couple of times a year.

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th September 2013, 08:14 PM

Better than going to Tesco which is the most exciting thing I do...

Posted by: Sydney 20th September 2013, 08:57 PM

I like historical buildings as well, I was actually in Freemasons building this evening , all very interesting & a bit Medieval looking with its peculiar high chairs & various symbols ...

Posted by: Flatcap 21st September 2013, 08:49 PM

Sadly, unable to get out. Had a bit of a cold, so I have been attempting to tell it where to go impolitely.

Posted by: Jupiter9 23rd September 2013, 08:59 PM

Hello. Sorry for my absence but Ive been really busy. 5 years after my dad died I finally decided to clear out his shed. 3 hours I spent in it yesterday and another 2 hours tonight. Ive filled about 10 bags and I think Ive managed to clear about one square foot . I could spend the rest of my life in that shed. Then again, it took him about 40 years to fill it with junk.... So if you wonder where I am, I'll be in the shed....

Posted by: Jupiter9 23rd September 2013, 09:02 PM

I'll try to get on line tomorrow night. Just really busy with Real Life stuff at the moment.

Posted by: Jupiter9 23rd September 2013, 09:04 PM

I found a sink U-bend and an element for a Tricity cooker. My mum says she doesn't remember even having a Tricity cooker....

Posted by: Sydney 23rd September 2013, 10:23 PM

Aw Jups !!!, that must be quite emotional , was your Dad a hoarder, I throw everything out , even good pairs of shoes, mostly by accident though & then I go crazy looking for them

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th September 2013, 08:00 PM

Evening

Honestly, don't worry about me and my shed. I'm perfectly ok. It's hard to get emotional about ancient rusty spades. I found this scythe thing tonight. Like something the grim reaper would carry. I drove to the cowp and got rid of a fair bit. I'm going back to the cowp tomorrow with another load of junk.

I'm hardly making a dent in his 'collection'...

Posted by: bigwiglaf 24th September 2013, 08:09 PM

A collection is a collection....as some would term it, Jups, it's 'rusty gold'....but, I know we can't stop you from doing with it as you see fit...

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th September 2013, 08:15 PM

It's getting binned. If I find any personal stuff that can stay. But I need to make a clearance.

Posted by: Flatcap 24th September 2013, 08:24 PM

This tale reminds me of my late grandmother's house. I recall she had items belonging to her mother, 3 aunts, an uncle who died very young, as well as her grandparents and my grandfather as well as my dad and aunt. Most of it was up the loft, but I do remember not being able to unpack and put clothes in cupboards and drawers when we were staying up there. Amusing thing we did find, a box containing nothing but polystyrene. Why that was kept I will never know.

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th September 2013, 08:29 PM

I haven't even tackled the loft yet

My dad was of the philosophy 'Don't throw that out. It might come in handy one day. You never know!'




Anyway, on a brighter note, if you are female and need cheering up-

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th September 2013, 08:37 PM

You never know. It might have came in handy one day....


Wonder if they were distant relations of my dad

Posted by: Flatcap 24th September 2013, 08:39 PM

My dad is a bit like that in a way. There is a flymo that came from my grandmother's old shed. He brought it back here and stored it in our shed, he still thinks it is usable even if the shed roof was leaking at one point since it arrived here! Another thing is what I dub the grandfather. It is a case for a grandfather clock, the clock parts had long since rusted beyond redemption and had been thrown out but the case remains.

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th September 2013, 08:42 PM

Yip. It must be a dad thing.

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th September 2013, 08:51 PM

Off to read my new book.

Night all.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 25th September 2013, 09:38 PM

Good evening. 'Tis Friday!

I've got a dvd to watch. 'Flight' with Denzil W.

Anyone seen it?

Posted by: Jupiter9 27th September 2013, 09:38 PM

Just watching Chatty Man on telly. Rihanna is a bit of a personality free zone... Let's hope Justin T is more interesting.

Posted by: Jupiter9 27th September 2013, 09:44 PM

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/smilie.php


I seem to be all alone here.

Posted by: Jupiter9 27th September 2013, 10:07 PM

I'm warming to Justin T. He seems quite grounded. But quite funny and quirky. I sense no diva complex.


And now I really am talking to myself.....

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/smilie.php

Posted by: Jupiter9 27th September 2013, 10:08 PM

I shall go watch my dvd.

Bon nuit.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 27th September 2013, 10:08 PM

I've not seen the Denzel movie 'Flight'....heard of it, though...

Posted by: Flatcap 28th September 2013, 07:40 PM

You must have turned up after I vanished for the evening. Thought you had got lost in that shed.

Rather tiring being on the antibiotics.

Posted by: Sparkle 29th September 2013, 05:51 PM

Have just watched Chatty Man, I always record it as it's normally past my bed time
Good show, have to disagree with you Jups, I thought Rihanna was ok and quite witty.
JT good too, he so sounds like Michael Buble when he is talking, anyone else notice that?

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th September 2013, 08:10 PM

Evening.

Just been watching X-Factor boot camp. Unfortunately I have a bunged up left ear and can't hear a thing out of it. Unfortunate in that I could still hear them out of my right ear.

Ye Gods. Bloomin' awful the lot of them.

Posted by: Sparkle 29th September 2013, 08:34 PM

they weren't all bad, just most of them

It's a bit harsh the way they get booted out of their seats when someone better turns up.

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th September 2013, 08:44 PM

I thought that too. Very cruel. And some of them are just young kids. I didn't approve of that.

Posted by: Sparkle 29th September 2013, 08:46 PM

The boy with the birds nest on his head, if he doesn't wash his hair, I think they should boot him out.

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th September 2013, 08:49 PM

Yeah. Good enough reason.

Did the Yodeller get through?

Posted by: Sparkle 29th September 2013, 08:55 PM

Nope, he didn't get through.

Very strange song

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th September 2013, 09:01 PM

I'm struggling to know who the 'joke act' is this year. There's always a joke act. Could be any of them really.

Anyway, time for my book.

Next week Tess hopefully we will see Robbie then

Posted by: Sydney 30th September 2013, 05:14 AM

O Good... something to look forward to

BTW..This was hilarious ..poor Dave






& Tess Daly is getting bad press this morning over her Canary Yellow dress & very bad underwear ...O Dear

Posted by: Jupiter9 4th October 2013, 09:20 PM

Good evening

I'm going to a Robbie Williams tribute night tomorrow night

Posted by: bigwiglaf 4th October 2013, 09:51 PM

Does he call himself 'Throbbie'??

Posted by: Jupiter9 4th October 2013, 09:53 PM

God only knows what he calls himself. I didn't even know I was going until today.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 4th October 2013, 09:55 PM

Sounds like a friend or co-worker roped you into going along, eh?

Posted by: Jupiter9 4th October 2013, 10:09 PM

Yip. I have a friend who always seems to order loads of tickets for nights out. Then forgets to tell people we're going...

Posted by: bigwiglaf 4th October 2013, 10:11 PM

What a yahoo....

Posted by: Jupiter9 4th October 2013, 10:28 PM

I'm off now. Night Biggy.

Posted by: Sydney 5th October 2013, 06:33 AM

Dying to hear all about it

Posted by: Sparkle 5th October 2013, 06:47 AM

I went to see a Robbie tribute act years ago, was really good.
Have fun!

Posted by: Flatcap 6th October 2013, 07:32 PM

Hope it was a good concert.

I visited a local church this weekend. Intended to do it a few weeks ago, and it is only open Saturdays between April and the end of October. I am revisiting the churches I am writing about prior to submitting the articles I am doing for the local magazine.

Posted by: Jupiter9 6th October 2013, 08:54 PM

Good evening

I had a great night. 'Robbie' looked quite like Robbie, dressed like Robbie, and had the Robbie moves down to a T. He didn't really sound like him all that much though. To be really honest, the Tribute 'Robbie' was a much better singer

Posted by: Sydney 7th October 2013, 06:01 AM

You were always tone deaf

Posted by: Jupiter9 8th October 2013, 07:37 PM

I'll have you know I have a very musical ear

Posted by: Sydney 8th October 2013, 10:28 PM

Just one , that;s where your problem lies

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th October 2013, 09:48 PM

Anyway, just checking in. I've been working really long shifts all week.(staff appraisal time )

Hopefully I'll get back to more regular posting duty over the weekend and from next week.

So tired

Posted by: Sparkle 11th October 2013, 07:18 PM

Good evening, it's weekend

and football is on the tv tonight, oh joy!

Posted by: Jupiter9 11th October 2013, 08:42 PM

Evening. I've been cleaning my toilet.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 11th October 2013, 09:36 PM

When you're done with yours, Jups, you may come clean mine....

Posted by: Jupiter9 11th October 2013, 09:41 PM

Above and beyond the call of duty.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 11th October 2013, 09:44 PM

And my doody calls.....

I kid, of course...wha hae lass?

EDIT: Incoming limerick!!!!

There once was a gal called Jups,
She suffered a case of the poops,
She cleaned up her loo,
After her poo,
In an unending cycle of loops....

Bad limerick, I know....for which I do apologize...

Posted by: Jupiter9 11th October 2013, 09:49 PM

I'm fine. Glad it's the weekend though.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 11th October 2013, 09:50 PM

Methinks I need help with me bad limericks....

Posted by: Jupiter9 11th October 2013, 09:52 PM

That's your worst effort yet.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 11th October 2013, 09:53 PM

I know.....massive apologies to the limerick gods and this forum.....

EDIT: The joys of a familial jumble....the parents have out-sold me thus far, with 3 more days of the jumble scheduled in the house car park....

Evening. I would have been here much earlier but Sparkle forced me to do things

Posted by: Sparkle 13th October 2013, 08:52 PM

I didn't force you to do anything.

I just simply asked a question

Posted by: Jupiter9 13th October 2013, 08:55 PM

You distracted me

Posted by: Sparkle 13th October 2013, 09:01 PM

you like being distracted by me, admit it Jups

The guy that was going to play Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades film has quit

Posted by: Jupiter9 13th October 2013, 09:03 PM

Oh No!!!!


Who was supposed to be playing Mr Grey then?

Posted by: Jupiter9 13th October 2013, 09:07 PM

Never heard of him


I think they should get Alan Carr to play him

Posted by: Sparkle 13th October 2013, 09:18 PM

Alan Carr would be great.

Did you see the list? Chris Evans is on it, he was the only name I recognised, I'm guessing it's not the Chris Evans I am thinking of though

Posted by: Jupiter9 13th October 2013, 09:25 PM

Ha Ha! Can you imagine?

Posted by: Jupiter9 13th October 2013, 09:27 PM

I recognise a few of those names.

Ryan Gosling

Can't see him taking on that role though. It's hardly going to be Oscar winning material.

Posted by: Sparkle 13th October 2013, 09:33 PM

Would be funny if it was Oscar winning material.

I googled Ryan, very nice

Posted by: Jupiter9 13th October 2013, 09:33 PM

My internet connection is playing up. Not loading screens. Freeze Freeze Freezy Freeze.

Think I'll call it a night and go read my new book.

Will try to get back on line tomorrow but it'll be U2 Forum time.

I'm going to spontaneously combust. I have steam emerging from my ears.

Which phone did you get Flatty?

Posted by: Flatcap 14th October 2013, 09:13 PM

I won't lose it, the problem is that I might not answer it straight away as I am not used to the ring tone.

*looks at the box*

Vodafone 575.

Fine thanks. You? Had a good weekend?

Posted by: Sparkle 20th October 2013, 08:42 PM

I'm good thanks Flatty, weekend was ok, same as any other, goes too quick!

Posted by: Flatcap 20th October 2013, 08:45 PM

It does indeed. I found that especially true with the automated bus information on St. Stephen's yesterday. It announced that the next bus was allegedly over 2 hours away when the timetable announced that they were in fact every hour.

Ahhh you can never trust bus timetables Flatty, they all lie

Anyway, had better go now, up early tomorrow.

Night night x

Good evening.

Sparkle, have you located a green top for me yet?

Posted by: Sydney 22nd October 2013, 06:14 AM

Huh !! You should try living with Bus timetables over here, they come when they feel like it & no apologies . It's like they are doing you a big favour picking you up in the first place

Posted by: Sparkle 22nd October 2013, 08:07 PM

Still working on it Jups...

Posted by: Flatcap 24th October 2013, 06:30 PM

Bus timetables are usually fairly reliable here, but it was the automated bus information that was unreliable that day.

Posted by: Jupiter9 27th October 2013, 08:40 PM

Good evening. I was in Edinburgh for a few days

Home now

Posted by: Flatcap 27th October 2013, 08:47 PM

Hope you had a good time Jups. I went into the city yesterday, forgot that Norwich City was playing at home and the bus duly got caught in the mad traffic near the football ground.

Posted by: Jupiter9 27th October 2013, 08:49 PM

You're not having much luck with public transport this weather are you Flatty?

Having said that, guess who nearly missed the train home last night? Guess who was sitting on the wrong platform?

Posted by: Flatcap 27th October 2013, 09:18 PM

I remember a few weeks ago I went to Ipswich on the train, I settled on what was the correct platform for the train back. Looked up just after I sat down and discovered a platform change. Naturally it was over the footbridge from where I was.

No sign of said bad weather here yet, just a little breezy

Posted by: Jupiter9 27th October 2013, 11:15 PM

I lost my 'tinternet connection

Must be the MEGASTORMOFTHECENTURY to blame

Anyways, for those of you in SouthernSoftieLand, keep safe

I'll be on-line on full posting duty tomorrow night. Just checking in tonight.

Posted by: Jupiter9 30th October 2013, 09:51 PM

Hello Biggie

And what are you up to today?

Posted by: bigwiglaf 30th October 2013, 09:57 PM

Well, in me hunchbacked state, about 5'9.....

Otherwise, not too much, other than trying to keep me dad from blowing his stack....which is easy enough for him to do, with 4 new medications he's been prescribed by his doctor and cardiologist, after a 3 day hospital stay he had last week...

Posted by: Jupiter9 30th October 2013, 10:13 PM

Oh dear

Elderly parents are always a worry.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 30th October 2013, 10:22 PM

I've had to tell him several times what each med is for, what they do....and, I wound up this past Saturday going through his meds with him to figure out what to take, and when, throughout the day, for a week...he has a 7 day pill container from me mum, each day divided into 4 compartments....I'm still having absolutely no luck finding anything as a pharmacy technician....had a staffing agency recruiter phone me today about an electrician job, for a year, about an hour drive south of me....as much as I am not wanting to go back to being an electrician any longer, I just may have to go back to being one...

Posted by: Jupiter9 30th October 2013, 10:29 PM

You'd think people would always need electricians. Have you thought about going self-employed? Advertise your services?

Posted by: bigwiglaf 30th October 2013, 10:37 PM

With all of the time, effort and hard work going back to school to become a pharmacy technician, I surely don't want to give up being one.....but, since these pharmacies I've applied to just aren't willing to give me a shot to use my schooling as a pharmacy technician, which is where my heart lies for a job, I'm being put in the position to give up my dreams of being a pharmacy technician.....

Posted by: Jupiter9 30th October 2013, 10:41 PM

Yip, you'd think there would always be a need for pharmacy technicians too. It's a shame you can't get a chance to put your learning to good use

Posted by: bigwiglaf 30th October 2013, 10:46 PM

All these pharmacies I apply to, invariably tell me the same shtick....they're looking for someone with more experience than what I have.....

Posted by: Jupiter9 30th October 2013, 11:12 PM

Pharmacy technicians must retire sometime. Vacancies must come along. Don't give up hope.


Anyway, beddybyes time for me. Goodnight.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 30th October 2013, 11:14 PM

Hope ye sleep well, Jups...

Posted by: Sydney 31st October 2013, 06:00 AM

How do you get experience if you cannot get a job , the latest thing here is Interns who come in & get the experience but do not get paid, not something I agree with tbh , I feel companies take advantage

Posted by: Jupiter9 1st November 2013, 09:55 PM

Good evening

It's Friday!

I am fine thanks and you?

Posted by: Sparkle 3rd November 2013, 09:16 PM

I am fine too thank you Flatty.

I am drinking wine.............on a school night too

Posted by: Flatcap 3rd November 2013, 09:19 PM

Glad to see you're not doing last minute homework. It's clearly all done and you can relax...

Posted by: Sparkle 3rd November 2013, 09:22 PM

I have been a good girl Flatty, I deserve wine...... all homework done

Posted by: Flatcap 3rd November 2013, 09:29 PM

Of course. Just don't overdo the wine.

Posted by: Sparkle 3rd November 2013, 09:31 PM

Yes sir

Posted by: Flatcap 3rd November 2013, 09:53 PM

I seem to recall reading that alcohol stays in your system for a while.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 3rd November 2013, 10:44 PM

It takes one's body and liver 1 hour to process 1 ounce of alcohol, whether it be wine, spirits, or beer....depends how much one has, as to how long it takes the liver to process it.....

Posted by: Jupiter9 4th November 2013, 09:27 PM

Good evening


I'm watching a really quite depressing film. But it's nearly finished, yay!

Posted by: bigwiglaf 4th November 2013, 09:31 PM

It's not the story of me life, is it?

Posted by: Jupiter9 4th November 2013, 09:36 PM

Not sure. Is this you?

Posted by: bigwiglaf 4th November 2013, 09:44 PM

drat....busted.....

Posted by: Flatcap 4th November 2013, 09:45 PM

^ Nice eyes, who is he?

Sounds about right to me, I know you have to wait a while before driving once you've had alcohol. I tend to watch a lot of reality police shows which is what made me think of this.

There were 14 guests on here a wee while ago. Show yourselves!

Posted by: bigwiglaf 7th November 2013, 10:51 PM

But, I already did show meself...

Posted by: Jupiter9 7th November 2013, 10:55 PM

You are not a guest. Nor are you 14 people.

Book time. Night.

14 guests? Thursday is Robbie forum party night apparently, but it would have been nice if they had introduced themselves.

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 08:20 PM

Good evening

Mother Jupiter just woke up for her slumber in her chair, grabbed the remote and muted Celine Dion

Posted by: Sparkle 10th November 2013, 08:45 PM

I hope she turned it back on for Robbie.

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 08:48 PM

Yeah but she said he was a load of rubbish too and hated the song...

I don't think 'Northern' works for Scotland. I'm guessing you need to be from Yorkshire or somesuch

Posted by: Sparkle 10th November 2013, 09:13 PM

The results are in! We reckon you're
23% northern

That's somewhere around London.

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:17 PM

I was only 20%

Posted by: Sparkle 10th November 2013, 09:23 PM

really.

I've never had gravy with chips btw, have you?

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:26 PM

Nope. Never.

I've had chips and curry sauce a couple of times though.

Posted by: Sparkle 10th November 2013, 09:26 PM

Yuk

Posted by: bigwiglaf 10th November 2013, 09:29 PM

Apparently, according to that northometer, I'm from the Nottingham area....

What say you aboot that, eh? asks the Yank....

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:29 PM

It's amazing what you fancy when you are in your 20s, leaving the dancing and steaming drunk....


Maybe I did have chips n gravy too. But I have no recollection

Posted by: bigwiglaf 10th November 2013, 09:30 PM

I've had chips and gravy.....quite nice, methinks...

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:30 PM

You are much more Northern than me then

Posted by: Sparkle 10th November 2013, 09:31 PM

and me!

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:31 PM

Or french fries and gravy in your case

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:32 PM

But you are more Northern than me Sparkx.

Posted by: Sparkle 10th November 2013, 09:35 PM

Eh by gum, I am far more northern than you Jups

Posted by: bigwiglaf 10th November 2013, 09:38 PM

There are such things as English/British pubs here in my corner of Florida....so, I know what chips and gravy are.....bangers and mash....Cornish pasties....steak and kidney pie.....shepherds pie....chicken and mushroom pie.....all with a nice pint of Newcastle, or Guinness, or Strongbow cider.....or even Woodpecker cider.....oh how I do miss McEwan's IPA, Whitbread, Watney's Red/Green barrel or cream stout....

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:41 PM

But Sparkle, I bet you class Watford as the north.....


@ Biggie, and I go to TGI Fridays and like my TexMex food

Posted by: bigwiglaf 10th November 2013, 09:43 PM

Now I'm right peckish....

Posted by: Sparkle 10th November 2013, 09:45 PM

Milton Keynes actually

I'm hungry too.....I fancy some porridge

Posted by: bigwiglaf 10th November 2013, 09:47 PM

Would that be peas porridge, Sparkle?

*peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot 9 days old...*

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th November 2013, 09:49 PM

I love my porridge.

Anyways, need to go now as I've some bills to sort out for posting tomorrow.

Night all

I'm at home again today, the central heating is currently being replaced in my house. I'm frozen

Posted by: Flatcap 14th November 2013, 06:37 PM

The dishwasher broke the other week and of course it would require parts and is out of action until next Monday when we had guests over yesterday evening...

Posted by: bigwiglaf 14th November 2013, 09:24 PM

Hope you're thawed out by now Sparkle....


Flatty, what a heck of a time for a dishwasher to go down, and not be repaired....

Then again, Flatty, hands, dish cloths and dish towels were around a long time before mechanical dishwashers....

Posted by: Flatcap 14th November 2013, 09:49 PM

I know, more annoyed that the dishwasher was out of action when we had guests over. It couldn't have occurred the week before or the week after...

Posted by: bigwiglaf 14th November 2013, 09:56 PM

The annoyances of mechanical breakdowns.....always seemingly happening at the most inopportune time....

To be honest though, it's probably quite accurate. If it's not logical, it doesn't compute with me.

Ha, of course you are. You will get countless demands for autographs when you are next visiting Norfolk...

Anyway off now, good night.

Posted by: Sparkle 15th November 2013, 10:00 PM

I shall practise my autograph techniques in the meantime Flatty

I'm off too, night everyone

Posted by: Flatcap 22nd November 2013, 09:00 PM

So far we have put up the advent candles and that's it so far in terms of decorations.

Better news, I found my "Bah Humbug" hat.

Posted by: Sparkle 11th December 2013, 09:23 PM

Can I borrow your hat Flatty?

Posted by: The Grinch 14th December 2013, 05:27 PM

Guess who I am ?

ooh Xmas smilies are back

Posted by: Flatcap 14th December 2013, 06:49 PM

The borrowing fee will be increased by postage and packing fees, might be better to get one of your own.

None of them have a bah humbug hat. Not impressed.

Posted by: Jupiter9 16th December 2013, 07:48 PM

I see no Christmas smileys

My smileys are all still hatless

I've got a party night out tomorrow

Posted by: Sparkle 20th December 2013, 10:10 PM

Jups, you are always going out partying

I can see hats I pressed F5 button. Not all smileys have hats though?

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th December 2013, 10:19 PM

I know. But only 8 Xmas dinners this year (down from 11 last year). I'm cutting back.

Yeah, a couple of my smileys remain hatless.

Posted by: Sparkle 20th December 2013, 10:21 PM

I have so many to go to also.

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th December 2013, 10:32 PM

Sparkle, apparently there's a mega storm heading towards Jupsyville Mon and Tues. Probably have no power on Xmas day. Although I think I spied a tin of spam in the cupboard

Posted by: Flatcap 20th December 2013, 10:36 PM

I would have preferred the "bah humbug" hats, but never mind I still love the hats.

Posted by: Sparkle 20th December 2013, 10:58 PM

I don't think we are going to get a white Christmas this year. I saw the weather forecast is going to get stormy, as in windy and rain.

It's turned really cold here tonight.

Posted by: Jupiter9 20th December 2013, 11:06 PM

I may well get a White Christmas. If the forecast pans out I'll be in Norway by the 25th...

Anyway, heading to the couch with my hot water bottle.


Back on line Sunday. Night all.

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th December 2013, 09:05 PM

I'm still not well. At all

Been in bed most of the holiday. And I swear I'm going to go mad if I see that Harvey's furniture sale advert again. It's incessant

Psycho Kitty got her stocking filled?

Hope you're better soon Jups.

Of course!

Her present is all wrapped up and under the tree

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th December 2013, 09:39 PM

Anyway, I have given up on the Sudafed and Nurofen. I've moved on to Hebridean Whisky Liqueur. And watching Rising Damp on the telly.

Life is good

Posted by: Flatcap 24th December 2013, 09:40 PM

Clearly she avoided being on the naughty list this year, excellent.

No. I'm too scared she'll attack me if I don't get her a present

Posted by: Flatcap 24th December 2013, 09:45 PM

Blackmailed.

I watched Carols from King's and a bit of the Morecambe and Wise Christmas clips show earlier.

Posted by: Jupiter9 24th December 2013, 09:49 PM

I saw Morecambe and Wise too. My favourite is always the 'Mr Preview' sketch. Classic.

Anyway. I better go peel some sprouts.

Enjoy

Posted by: Sydney 28th December 2013, 07:56 PM

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th December 2013, 08:59 PM

It was ok but I didn't feel very good. I still don't.

Still sniffing and snorting away here

Haven't been on-line for days.

Posted by: Flatcap 29th December 2013, 09:10 PM

My aunt and uncle weren't well for a couple of weeks before Christmas. Big disappointment as two of their grandchildren were due to make a visit and this had to be cancelled as a result.

Hope you're on the mend soon Jups.

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th December 2013, 09:12 PM

Loads of people seem to have been infected with this horrible cold.

Posted by: Sparkle 29th December 2013, 09:15 PM

Hello.....I'm germ free

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th December 2013, 09:21 PM

So far....

Evening. I found my Santa message btw.

Posted by: Sparkle 29th December 2013, 09:23 PM

Better late than never I suppose

Posted by: Flatcap 29th December 2013, 09:24 PM

It does seem to have an undesirable tendency to linger. The sooner it receives that one way ticket to that island covered in junk the better.

Had a good Christmas and went out for Christmas lunch.

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th December 2013, 09:24 PM

Yip. Told you. Hadn't been on-line for days.

Very droll

Posted by: Sydney 29th December 2013, 09:27 PM

I have a bad headache & work beckons in the morning

Posted by: Sparkle 29th December 2013, 09:30 PM

I was going to go for the naughty option Jups, but decided to be nice instead

Christmas lunch out Flatty sounds good, have thought about going out to eat on Christmas day instead of cooking but never
got round to it, maybe next year.

Hi Tess, hope your headache gets better soon. I'm not back to work until Thursday

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th December 2013, 09:32 PM

I get Thursday off

Posted by: Sparkle 29th December 2013, 09:32 PM

Bah

Posted by: Sydney 29th December 2013, 09:33 PM

I once went out to eat lunch on Xmas day, it was years ago in London, it was the worst day of my life. The pubs do not open here on Xmas day .

Posted by: Flatcap 29th December 2013, 09:36 PM

That is the advantage of it, we get to spend more time together as a family whereas before we were usually too busy in the kitchen to speak to one another until we had sat down. Then my brother would be driven back to Norwich afterwards.

Hope your headache does a vanishing act for you soon.

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th December 2013, 09:39 PM

I couldn't really taste any of my Xmas dinner this year. Everything just tasted of snot and green/yellow phlegm.

Anyway, I made ginger wine today.

Posted by: Sydney 29th December 2013, 09:41 PM

Ugh !!!

Posted by: Jupiter9 29th December 2013, 09:43 PM

I know. Just wanted to share.

I'm off to beddybyes now. With my Vicks inhaler and box of tissues.

Night everyone.

Posted by: Sydney 29th December 2013, 10:13 PM

Waaay to much info

Posted by: Sparkle 29th December 2013, 10:18 PM

Night night

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 04:02 PM

Hi everyone. Yes, I'm back and stronger than ever!

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 09:25 PM

Hi welcome back Luciano, long time no see.

Where have you been ?

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 09:40 PM

In the Britney forums mainly

Well, I actually haven't been posting very much at all. I've been more of a lurker as of late.

I was a bit confused reading about members not digging Swing Both Ways very much, I really like the era and I think it's Robbie back on form!

Posted by: Flatcap 31st December 2013, 09:42 PM

Evening. I am going to be a rebel and stay up later than normal.

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 09:47 PM

Me too.

Keep on dancin' till the year ends.

Posted by: Flatcap 31st December 2013, 09:51 PM

Dancing? More like trod on everyone's feet in my case. Feet insurance required if I attempt to dance. < Oops.

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 09:54 PM

While Rock DJ plays in the back.

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 09:55 PM

I lurk around too

I think it's only Jups and I that don't dig the Swing songs everyone else seems to think it's the best thing since sliced bread.
I love Robbie, can't wait for him to get back to singing the kind of songs that I like. Please don't stay away from the forum because of us two not liking swing songs.
It's nice to have some more familiar faces back again.





Evening Flatty, I intend to stay up later than normal too. I have pringles and wine, sorted

Posted by: Flatcap 31st December 2013, 09:59 PM

At least you're not on the lethal lemonade Sparkle, then you might have a problem or two.

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:00 PM

Good evening

It's nearly next year!

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 10:02 PM

Jups................you are 2 minutes late

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:06 PM

I was in the bog

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 10:07 PM

I'm afraid I'm disgusted at you both now, and I can't bear being in the very same forum with you too now.

Robbie seems to be on my side with this.

His face when I told him about it:

Posted by: Flatcap 31st December 2013, 10:08 PM

Hello Jups, are you feeling better today?

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:12 PM

A bit better, yes.

Luciano, I'm bereft.

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 10:14 PM

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 10:15 PM

Hi Jups!! Long time no see. Were you ill?

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:20 PM

Hi Luciano

Yeah, I had a really bad cold/chest infection. Right through Christmas.

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 10:21 PM

Ouch, well I'm glad you got better.

I see this place has changed quite a lot since I was a recurrent poster back in the day.

Still glad to know familiar posters like you and Sparkle are still around.

Does anyone know anything about Maite?

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:22 PM

No. Haven't seen Maite on here in years.

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 10:23 PM

Everyone left us

Posted by: bigwiglaf 31st December 2013, 10:26 PM

I'm still lurking, Sparkle....I think....

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:26 PM

Do you want me to start registering under different user names? Just to make us look busy?

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 10:26 PM

I was her friend on FACEBOOK but I closed my FACEBOOK page for good.

I lost contact with her.

Robbieca?

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:29 PM

Yip, Jasna is still on Facebook. Not on here very often though

Posted by: bigwiglaf 31st December 2013, 10:29 PM

Robbieca pops in here once every third blue moon these days, so it seems.....as does Nicky.....it's been quite some time for ICR or Twinkle, IIRC....

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 10:35 PM

Youngest sparkle son has gone to the pub tonight, he wasn't amused when he found out that the evenings entertainment is going
to be a Robbie Williams tribute act

I asked to go too, and the answer was no

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:36 PM

I'm being forced to watch a documentary on the song Auld Lang Syne....

Posted by: bigwiglaf 31st December 2013, 10:37 PM

Nothing wrong with a Rabbie Burns poetry documentary.....

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 10:37 PM

I'll be watching The Killers live at the royal albert hall tonight

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 10:39 PM

I even got my Robbie t shirt out of the drawer ready to put on, Sparkle sons friends were amused

No tv on here, it's quiet, kinda spooky.

Speaking of spooky Jups, I watched that film last night, I guessed the plot straight away btw

Ooooh I like the Killers, something we agree on Luciano

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 10:43 PM

Speaking of 'Auld Lang Syne', what really gets me is people who pronounce it wrong. All over the world. They pronounce it wrong.

It's SYNE (with a soft 'S'), Not ZYNE (with a 'Z')


Why does everybody sing it wrong?

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 10:45 PM

If you're drunk it's with a Z

Sober, a soft "s"

Posted by: Flatcap 31st December 2013, 10:48 PM

Memories are flowing in this thread, there was also Irena (Jasna's sister).

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 10:51 PM

She's still on facebook.

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 10:54 PM

You should make a 'surprise appearence'. Your son will be thrilled

Posted by: Flatcap 31st December 2013, 10:59 PM

Take the part of Nicole Kidman for the song Somethin' Stupid.

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 11:09 PM

superb idea!! You should do it!!!! Or even Kylie's in Kids.

Posted by: Sparkle 31st December 2013, 11:11 PM

I can't sing...

I'm off now, Happy New Year everyone x

Posted by: bigwiglaf 31st December 2013, 11:12 PM

As much as I like Nicole Kidman.....I rather prefer Kylie Minogue....

Posted by: Jupiter9 31st December 2013, 11:14 PM

I need to go now as well. Get the drinks organised in time for the Bells.

See you all next year.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 31st December 2013, 11:15 PM

Happy 2014 guys and gals...

Posted by: Flatcap 31st December 2013, 11:15 PM

Enjoy the Pringles Sparkle and the er what were you drinking again? Oh, that's right. Coffee.

Enjoy the celebrations. I shall be up to watch the fireworks from Big Ben as normal.

Posted by: Luciano 31st December 2013, 11:25 PM

Happy new year for everyone. I hope y'all have a blast

Posted by: Sydney 1st January 2014, 05:15 PM

Nappy New Year everyone

Posted by: Flatcap 1st January 2014, 09:20 PM

Have a great 2014 everyone.

Posted by: Luciano 2nd January 2014, 03:30 PM

Did you all have fun on NYE?

Posted by: Flatcap 2nd January 2014, 08:17 PM

The fireworks were very impressive, watched them as I usually do. Had a lethal glass of water to celebrate as I don't drink alcohol.

You?

Posted by: Luciano 2nd January 2014, 11:51 PM

I had a nice time with family & friends. Fireworks weren't as spectacular as last year here in Argentina, people in general are concerned for the pets suffering from it and also we've been having problems with energy and power lately, with many people being cut short of power and water supplies.

I guess that was enough to lead to a much more silent Christmas/NYE.

Posted by: Jupiter9 5th January 2014, 10:13 PM

Hi

I've been sick. Again. Same cold I had over Xmas came back with a vengeance at New Year. I'm getting better very slowly but still sick. Apparently it's a nasty viral infection that's doing the rounds. Loads of people have been ill.

Anyway, I did manage to go see the Hobbit before I took to my bed. It was good. Although I don't remember Legolas being in the Hobbit book.

Posted by: Sydney 8th January 2014, 10:47 PM

Amazing pics from the USA

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th January 2014, 09:42 PM

I'd love to experience that Polar Vortex thingy.

The UK would totally grind to a halt though. Till about July....

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th January 2014, 09:47 PM

They are amazing photos though. Reminds me of that film The Day After Tomorrow. Yikes!

Posted by: Sydney 10th January 2014, 10:34 PM

Just fabulous

Posted by: Sydney 10th January 2014, 11:10 PM

I like this ..Carey Mulligan & Justin Timberlake

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th January 2014, 11:12 PM

I've just seen that very clip on Graeme Norton

Posted by: Sydney 10th January 2014, 11:13 PM

Oooooooh !!!

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th January 2014, 11:14 PM

Spooky!!!!

Posted by: Sydney 10th January 2014, 11:16 PM

A small bit

Posted by: Jupiter9 10th January 2014, 11:47 PM

Time for cup of tea and then bed. Out tomorrow night but will try to get some posting time on Sunday.

Nite Nite Jups

Posted by: bigwiglaf 12th January 2014, 02:11 AM

Graham Norton.....quite cheeky, he is.....

Posted by: Sydney 12th January 2014, 01:53 PM

He's Irish that 's the reason why

At Xmas Niall Horan from the band 1Direction ( also Irish ) was moaning he could not get home to Ireland due to the bad weather , Graham tweeted that he could offer him a lift as far as Cork. . Grahams' Mum lives in Bandon Co Cork so Graham visits there frequently , he is not considered a celebrity by the locals so they all leave him alone

Posted by: Jupiter9 13th January 2014, 09:27 PM

Graham Norton's episode of Who Do You Think You Are was a hoot. If I remember correctly some female relative was a trollop with loads of weans and some male relative ended up being English. He was not amused

Posted by: Sydney 13th January 2014, 10:48 PM

Oh yes I remember that ..... traitor

Good evening


Anyone here?

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th January 2014, 09:18 PM

I often feel I could do with a ouija board on this forum...

Posted by: bigwiglaf 15th January 2014, 09:26 PM

In which direction Ouija go with that board??

Posted by: Sparkle 15th January 2014, 09:33 PM

hello

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th January 2014, 09:38 PM

Sparkley!

Have you been sleeping? Didn't want to text you in case I woke you up.

Posted by: Flatcap 15th January 2014, 09:40 PM

Hello.

Posted by: Sparkle 15th January 2014, 09:44 PM

I am wide awake, too much awake now..... I don't know what's worse


too much caffeine maybe

Posted by: Flatcap 15th January 2014, 09:45 PM

Perhaps have some of this instead Sparkle.

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th January 2014, 09:45 PM

I'm drinking ginger wine I made at New Year.


Hello Flatty

Posted by: Sparkle 15th January 2014, 09:48 PM

everyone appears to be drinking alcohol tonight, and on a school night too

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th January 2014, 09:50 PM

My ginger wine is non alcoholic

Posted by: Flatcap 15th January 2014, 09:54 PM

Hello Jups, did you enjoy your celebratory birthday weekend?

School? Drat, and I thought I had completed the homework.

Posted by: Sparkle 15th January 2014, 09:55 PM

sure it is Jups

and I suppose Flatty is on the lemonade tonight?

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th January 2014, 09:57 PM

Yes. I had a great night out. Didn't win a thing at the bingo though. Or at the raffle.

My ginger wine is non-alcoholic. Really, it is.

Posted by: Sparkle 15th January 2014, 10:02 PM

I won the lottery at work, my bonus ball number came up

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th January 2014, 10:03 PM

Brilliant!

Enough money to retire on?

Posted by: Sparkle 15th January 2014, 10:07 PM

Enough money to pay for my haircut this Saturday

I was quite pleased, I never win anything.

Posted by: Flatcap 15th January 2014, 10:17 PM

Lethal lemonade it is Sparkle. Brilliant news re the lottery win, I usually find that I have two numbers, then I am one out on the third for that fortune of a tenner.

Glad you had a good time Jups.

Going now, so good night pleasant dreams and a good rest all.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 15th January 2014, 10:31 PM

Oh, Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarkle.....may I borrow 400 quid, since you're rolling in money??

Posted by: Jupiter9 15th January 2014, 10:35 PM

She'll have already spent it on booze


Anyway, need to go now. Things to do before beddybyes.

Night all

Posted by: bigwiglaf 15th January 2014, 10:38 PM

Snooze well, Jups...

Posted by: Sparkle 15th January 2014, 10:41 PM

30 quid winnings is hardly rolling in money Biggy, but sure you can borrow some

I'm off too, night everyone

Posted by: Sydney 15th January 2014, 10:44 PM

Hello Biggie

How's your Florida weather today?

Posted by: bigwiglaf 17th January 2014, 09:33 PM

Cold, by Florida standards...got up to 16C, with a low round 3.8C this morning....tomorrow's predicted high is about 12.7C.....

Posted by: Jupiter9 17th January 2014, 09:36 PM

It's been a really mild winter here so far. Very wet, windy and generally dreich. It was 4C when I drove home earlier.

Posted by: bigwiglaf 17th January 2014, 09:39 PM

I'd be willing to trade dreich with ye, lass...I likes it cold....certain body parts may not agree with my statement, but, what can I say...

Posted by: Sparkle 17th January 2014, 09:41 PM

Evening, it's raining here.......as usual

Posted by: Jupiter9 17th January 2014, 09:53 PM

Yip, dreich in Englandshire too

Posted by: bigwiglaf 17th January 2014, 09:55 PM

Sounds like a good night for some McEwan's and a wee dram of a nice single malt whisky....

Posted by: Jupiter9 17th January 2014, 09:56 PM

I'm drinking a wee Irish whiskey as we speak. For my cough you understand

Posted by: Sparkle 17th January 2014, 09:57 PM

Posted by: Sparkle 17th January 2014, 10:02 PM

Something to do with the Mandela thingy. I never heard of them before.

Posted by: Jupiter9 17th January 2014, 10:04 PM

Good afternoon. Early visit today. Houseworky things to do tonight

Posted by: Jupiter9 19th January 2014, 05:54 PM

Need to go now. Dinner to make....

Posted by: Sparkle 19th January 2014, 09:08 PM

I seem to be doing housework things all weekend

So......... where is everyone tonight?

Posted by: Sydney 19th January 2014, 09:28 PM

I have been sewing lace of to the sleeves of a top for my friend,

Posted by: Sparkle 19th January 2014, 10:16 PM

I never liked sewing much, I went to a girls secondary school where we were made to have sewing lessons,
the teacher was a right old dragon, I was quite scared of her, hated those lessons.
Now days I can't even see properly to thread a needle let alone sew
Wonderweb is a marvellous invention

Posted by: bigwiglaf 19th January 2014, 10:19 PM

Some off reason, Wonderweb made me think of Wonder Woman....


EDIT: Somehow I made the posters chart for this week.....and the Robbie forum was #2 in total AF posts.....

Posted by: Sparkle 20th January 2014, 07:33 PM

Yeah, the Robbie forum is number 2 in the AF charts, doesn't make sense does it.

Anyways, back to wonder woman, who needs her, he will do instead

Posted by: Sydney 20th January 2014, 08:44 PM

What on earth is Wondereb , I like a bit of sewing very now & then, I am quite handy at it if I say so myself , you can buy something in a shop 7 then go home & redesign it yourself

Posted by: Sydney 20th January 2014, 08:44 PM

What are the AF charts btw

Posted by: bigwiglaf 20th January 2014, 08:49 PM

I saw mention of it in the weekly poster's chart for the week of 19 January in the Lounge forum....

Posted by: Sydney 20th January 2014, 08:57 PM

But what do the letters AF stand for !!

Posted by: bigwiglaf 20th January 2014, 09:15 PM

AF translates to Artist Forum....as far as I know and understand....

Posted by: Sydney 20th January 2014, 09:25 PM

See , that's why I am not good mod material

Posted by: Sydney 20th January 2014, 09:25 PM

Anyone know where I can buy screwback clipon earings

Posted by: Sydney 21st January 2014, 07:31 PM

Obviously not !!

Posted by: Sparkle 21st January 2014, 07:43 PM

I didn't know you could get screwback clip on earings.

I shall investigate .....

Posted by: Sparkle 21st January 2014, 07:58 PM

Amazon and Ebay sell them

Posted by: Sydney 21st January 2014, 08:35 PM

I am looking for real vintage ones.. the ones on Amazon & Ebay are not great

Posted by: Jupiter9 21st January 2014, 09:44 PM

Screwback clip on earrings?

Nope. Never heard of such things.


Evening btw

Posted by: Flatcap 21st January 2014, 10:17 PM

Random bit of information here, there was a clue to Robbie Williams on Pointless today.

Weekends of Mass Distraction 2003 (RW).

The contestants had a list including the one above and had to name the artist who did the tour.

Posted by: Jupiter9 21st January 2014, 10:21 PM

Did they know?

Posted by: Flatcap 21st January 2014, 10:26 PM

One half of a pair of contestants knew it, mainly because a friend of theirs is a fan of Robbie's.

Posted by: Jupiter9 21st January 2014, 10:30 PM

I love Pointless.

Anyway, washing up to do. Then bed.

Byeeeee

Posted by: bigwiglaf 22nd January 2014, 10:52 PM

You sure the choon Pointless doesn't refer to me?

Posted by: Sydney 22nd January 2014, 10:57 PM

Aw No !!! why do you say that Biggy

Posted by: bigwiglaf 22nd January 2014, 11:10 PM

Well, the way things are going for me of late, I surely feel as though things I say/do are pointless...

Posted by: Sydney 22nd January 2014, 11:30 PM

What's the weather like in the States Biggy, have you lots of snow

Posted by: bigwiglaf 22nd January 2014, 11:48 PM

No snow here in Florida, too warm for it....the high for the day here in my corner was 12C....me older brother, on the other hand, where he lives in the state of Pennsylvania, had 8 inches of snow, and the high for the day was a frosty -12C for the day today, with a wind chill of -26C....

Posted by: Sparkle 23rd January 2014, 06:58 PM

Is it weekend yet?

Posted by: bigwiglaf 23rd January 2014, 09:19 PM

I wish it were, Sparkle......so I would be able to start me new full time job Monday next, as a pharmacy technician.....it's about 5ish miles from the house here, and I'll have benefits with the job....health insurance, paid time off, sick time.....needless to say, I'm as happy as a clam....

Posted by: Flatcap 23rd January 2014, 09:57 PM

Nearly the weekend Sparkle, not far off.

There's a radio show on in the mornings over here & they have a quiz called 'Who Da Man' .. I think the answer might be Robbie .

The clues so far are ...

He likes to give it some stick .

He has divided loyalties .

Can we unpin the Robbie news thread, I keep having to go look for it

That's brilliant news Biggy, really pleased for you, congratulations. Hope all goes well on Monday.



It's always at the top with the other pinned threads, I tidied it up the other day, unpinned other topics to make room for more important things.
The news thread will always be in the first 5 topics at the top of the screen. It was disappearing when unpinned.

Well, in a follow-up phone call from where I'm to start, the person hiring me told me she was a bit hasty in asking if I were able to start Monday 27 January.....seems she'd like to have me background check in her hands before having me start....which would push me start date back to 3 February....I'm still going in for tomorrow, the 27th, to fill out a bunch of new hire paperwork, along with picking up paperwork to go for a drug screen...

Posted by: Sydney 27th January 2014, 09:14 PM

Jeez, that's a lot of checking ...hope you get to start soon Mr B

Well, I can see their side of things, not wanting to hire a felon or drug dealer.....since I'd be handling medications for people, some of them classified as 'controlled substances'.....controlled substances being stuff that has an increased chance for dependence or abuse....and, as to the drug screen, I can see where they'd not want to hire someone who MIGHT be having an issue with medications....they're hoping by Wednesday this week to have the criminal background check in hand, and the drug screen results by Thursday...then training....
