Be Excellent To Each Other

I've met Vorderman. She oozes sex appeal, which is rarer than you think. It completely bypasses what she looks like - she's just sexy in a visceral way.

Wet wall paper will blunt a stanley blade in about 2-3 cuts. Get some big scissors. Or stick it well and cut it when it's dry (with a blade) and use some PVA to make sure the edges don't curl up afterward.

Hmm. Looks like the vast majority of the GAME closures are Debenhams instore things. 6 Gamestation, 12 GAME and 25 Debenhams things.

See, I knew this would happen. The mods all fuck off to Manchester without leaving me the keys, and we have the second coming.

Thanks for the advice. You catching up on the thread?

Nah, it was all a dream.


Wasn't it?

I've been in Wales briefly and was busy catching up with real people. Back in the smoke now.

They'll probably get rid of the one in Birmingham Debenhams then, I don't think anyone knows it's there.

And Riles, er, I mean Apple Pie, I think that Gamestation is where HMV used to be, there certainly was one on New Street at some point in time.

No sign of Richard (Happytree -Ed).

Exam tomorrow. Beginning of a month of Saturday mornings like this.

Good luck with them!

Saturday morning exams though - not fun at all.

What subject? They're still all open book though, right? And only civ lit and conveyancing are in any way difficult.

You'll be fine, chappy.

Solicitor's accounts tomorrow, it's a competent/not yet competent with 50% being the pass mark.

Thanks anyway lads, it's not being able to spend my Fridays drinking lager and chasing tail that's making me sad.

ah, right. All you need to remember is "double entry" and not snigger for two hours. And make sure the two columns balance. And there's that rule about £50 or something.

Summat like that, watching true blood now, having a glass of wine.

Ah, good point. I forgot about the "emo boyfriend" bonus points.

I fancy watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but didn't bring it with me. I think it is those Sky HD adverts that keep making me think of it.

Erk! Good luck, man.

Oh, hehe, that's ace. I do actually have that I meant the Gene Wilder one. I must mean Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - I can never remember which one is which. Nan has got it on a VHS cassette in the living room, but I don't think she has a VHS player.

Willy Wonka is the superior version for sure. Maybe because I saw it younger and it scared me and etched itself into my brain.

Oooh, Celebdaq has closed. Although it was a surprise it was still running frankly. Used to work with the guy who coded it.

I fucking hate sock puppets. Marionettes are much better.

Is this a tradition when the Mods go on a meet?

We seem to have several sock puppets and a clown that have appeared as if by magic.

Far too early for a Saturday.

I agree but I am on the road in ten minutes to get to sunny Manchester.

Morning!

Another major earthquake out there, this time Chile. What the hell's going on? Has Lex Luthor got some big earthquake maker or something?

Fantastic. Never seen him move so fast and no mention of a campaign fund this time.

I have a copy of the thing he pulled on my HDD as I saved it yesterday...

Well I can guess what was on it and he was very silly for putting it up. He already dug the hole now I think he may have pushed himself into it.

I love his reply where he states that he will be seeking legal advice then makes some questionable legal statements that he plucked out of the ether to suit his point of view.

Morning all ! hope you all had a great time last night.

I'd rather we all had a great time tonight.

Exam went OK.

That too

Today’s live band in the library is a slightly but significantly off-key, out of tune jazz trio with clarinet, guitar and a thinly voiced lead singer. People seem to like them or are just clapping politely, but good lord – they’ve been on one and a half hours now. There’s only so much Cole Porter I can take, especially when delicately murdered. They’re not bad as such, just not at all good. And they’re relentless.

Please… no more… NEED DRINK

Kern, please text mrsa with "ffmc 1625" thanks

Well done, MaliA. Hope the results all come as out you want them to

thanks to all who sent me a text. Not all of you identified yourselves, so i don't know at least four of the numbers! Thanks nonetheless.

Interesting development...

OK, so nan has been out of hospital a few days now. I am doing most stuff, but she has a carer to shower her in the morning and help her with her nightwear at night.

The other day I did a little shopping for the two of us. A lot of things were 3 for the price of 2, so many things came in threes.

Now, there appear to be quite a few things missing from the fridge... A block of Jarlsberg, some salmon, yoghurt. All things that I bought multiples of but which neither of us has yet eaten, including a pack of tomatoes. I have checked my receipt to make sure that I am not mistaken about what I bought. The carer prepares a drink before she goes, and she's the only other person it could be.

Assuming my gran isn't sleep-walking and eating whole blocks of cheese with a salmon chaser...

Fuck that. I would call the police. Set up a camera Mimi and frame the fucker.

Well, I'll certainly be waiting around tomorrow. The morning/afternoon moments when she comes over are the only two 20 minute periods when I know there is someone caring for my nan, so the last two days I have stepped out for 10 minute air, or nipped along to McDonalds to get a hot chocolate. I have just written a list of everything that is in the fridge, so I'm going to keep track of what is in there.

I've looked all through the freezer and cupboard to make sure that nan couldn't have moved them, even though I know this is impossible as she can't open the freezer drawers at the moment, but they are nowhere to be seen.

That's disgusting but becoming more common.

I saw a news item recently where an elderly lady thought she was losing money from her purse so she set up a hidden camera and it was one of her carers helping herself. It's indicative of the general decline in moral standards of society as a whole.

Wow I sound like my Granddad used to.

This is how I have dealt with it:

I wrote a list of everything in the fridge, including use-by dates, and stuck it to the door of the fridge. I included a couple f items I cooked for nan's tea last night and crossed them off. Now, if this is somehow not the carer this will mean absolutely nothing, but a handy way to keep track of what needs eating. If, however (and I am certain this is the case but have no proof) she has taken items from the fridge, she will know that everything is being kept track of and that this list has some significance.

I have heard many times of carers taking money, which is of course worse than what is going on here, but it is the sheer cheek of it. of course, all this said, she hasn't turned up today

Morning all !

Good girl, you know it makes sense !

Oh and Dear Ms Nature. Can we please have something other than rain for a few days? I hate to sound ungrateful but like, come on. Just, come on.

Do I wish to call someone 90 minutes away and offer them £40 for a 10 year old bike that was $1500 new?
