Be Excellent To Each Other

[re: stuff about Malia getting chickens]

Will they keep the cats away?

Not getting chickens. There's a restrictive convenant on the property preventing this.

Hahaha! How convenient.

Space Shuttle launch. nice camera on it.

Try this:

Yup - you need heavy gauge wire fencing, which you then need to run about half a metre plus down under ground, and then out and away from the fence horizontally to the for another half a metre or so.

Who would have thought it, eh?

And I've got another week here.

I've got this. I'm also not allowed to run a steam engine, hold a faire or build a brick kiln.

Not if you don't find that car you haven't!

How smart are badgers, exactly? Because by my calculations, burying a couple of landmines would be a lot less work than the bend-o-fence.

There are probably more than a couple of badgers.

Yeah, that's why I'm wondering how smart they are. If they're pretty smart, they'll see the first two get blown up and think "fuck that garden."

If they're really smart, though, they'll keep sending further badgers in to rule out coincidence, perhaps with another few running about in a separate area as a control.

No, they'll carefully lift them, replant them under your front doormat, then move in on the chickens when the coast is clear.

Seen on hols:



Kalmar might want to get down to Newquay to win one. Also lots of mid to late 90's arcade machines in the Newquay arcades but nothing earlier barring a 2 player Space Invaders.

It must by my special day or something. Wullie just sent me this on Twitter:

Similarly, I saw #open%20full%20view" class="postlink">this on DealExtreme the other day.

"what's wrong with your faaaaaaaaaccceee?"

Lady over the road is having loads of furniture delivered. Might offer her a tenner for her old stuff.

Newquay is a horrible place, isn't it? I only liked it when I was in my late teens to pick up easy tourist girls on holiday away from home for the first time.

It depends on which bit you go to. I'd imagine it's terrible at night. The aquarium was good and it was nice having a drink down by the harbour. The town itself was full of shops selling crap, surfers and pikeys.

It did however kill a few hours on a day when the weather was abit variable and we did drive back the long way stopping off at Bedruthan Steps.

No post....... So now I have no shoes, no clothes and no contact lenses. I'm going to have to go in to town and hope to god there's something in one of the 2 shops, that I can wear tonight. So much for next day delivery (ordered Thursday).

Also: The boy is going on a school trip to Paris on Monday, so I just got stung for £100 in Euros, English money and "Ooh, I need £10 for a T-shirt so we don't get lost" as well as a load of other stuff they need to take with them. Bloody school trips...

Going out to a pub with a friend, and without Jen. Bit nervous! That sounds really sad, what a loser

Another superb weekend so far. Posting this in my sunny garden with a large cider and the birds twittering away nicely. Hmm crisps or habanero peanuts?

Off out for a meal with a rovery rady in a bit. Must try not to injure myself this time.

Best I have ever seen. Not really safe for work http://i.imgur.com/mKhZt.jpg

Bought more beer making kit. Left car in town and went to pub with MrsA. About to watch ATeam. She says that Jerry Maguire is a chick flick.

Just watched Chasing Amy with the missus.

Well... correction, just watched half of Chasing Amy with the missus. Then watched the remainder on my own.

Why do women always fall asleep during films?

Anyway, great film.

What caused MaliA to utter the words "Be quick, we'll have this and settle the tab and cheese it" this early evening?

Was it:

A) An ex girlfriend walked into the pub
B) MaliA done a bad smell
C) MrsA picked up the ketchup bottle, producing a spurt that reached almost 4 feet, landing mere inches away from the lass in the White dress requiring tit tape, then her whole group looking around for the culprit, revenge in their eyes.

Rohypnol.

So it turns out that my friend wouldn't have a problem with going out with an atheist after all.

I feel I should dig out the go-back-in-time-a-tron and inform my past self of this, so I wouldn't spend the best part of a year refraining from jumping on her because I thought the religion thing would get in the way.

Bah.

On the plus side, great night, and I got someone to watch Roger and Val and Cracker (that's two separate things, not one very unconventional cross-over).

best craigslist ever.

Peter St John: are you going to Bicester Carnival today?

I am so sore today. I can barely move.

Whatever made me think that playing 8 games of football yesteray in the blazing sun whilst wearing no sunscreen and drinking copious amounts of booze was a good idea?

Had a cracking time though.

No sun screen? You get burnt in a tent, ffs!

Just come back from this. The parade was quite good, albeit a little small. Then we paid our £2.50 to get into the main area, and saw a falconry display, listened to a speech by the head of the garrison, had a burger and a pint of beer. We watched some dancing and stuff like that, then there was a parachutist display which was pretty awesome, indeed. It was pretty pro.

And i bought a boules set from Lidle for a tenner, which is ace.

Lol, that is good.

Bloody kids, I've explained time and time again that the cats want to eat the hamster so she has to close the bedroom door, what do I find? door open and two kittens attempting to break into his cage. I like my hamster, the hamster is friendly, chilled out and won't shit on your hands which is rare in a hamster.

I only slept in 2 hour bursts last night. Tired.

New job in a new office. First priority: check the viewing angles for the monitor

Of course. Congrats on the new job btw, did you already tell us this? I know you were looking for a house/flat but not a new job.

My old one finished, but before I left I got a call from a different department to do the same kind of stuff as I was previously but for them. About to resume the search for a new flat.

Congrats, that sounds like a nice move.


In my not-so-new-now job, last week I got to shout "reverse the polarity!" as a 6000 volt arc crackled across the bench. With no sense of making an in-joke, at all. I <3 my job sometimes.

Picked up a couple of pals fae the airport last night. The whole way home they were going on about these things

You brought a sword-gun to a gun-sword fight?!

That's pretty cool, if a little ungentlemanly.
I suppose it's only really effective if you're holding the tip of the sword at the opponent's breast, as it'd be a bugger to aim otherwise.

Knights Templar though innit, heathens don't matter.

I like to think they stab then fire, like in a Robert Rodriguez film

Downside: you increase your risk of getting covered in gore.
