Be Excellent To Each Other

That's awesome news!

Fantastic!

Ay.

Great stuff! I still remember the relief when I got my own PR approved.

Congrats!

That's good news Meaty!

I got a cheque from hmrc.

Prong Regiment?

Always satisfying!

Fab news Meaty!!

Great stuff mate, nice one.

Brilliant! Does that mean we're rid of you forever?

Pistachio Risotto, actually. You do not want to fuck with my pistachio risotto. Especially now it's been approved.

How has nobody suggested positive yet?

Oi! I haven't touched a drop since, erm..., Sunday morning.

amateurs.

Stick me, you and Bobby in a room for a weekend and we'd have a smash hit sitcom.

About necrophilia.

There is no way I'd make it through that weekend without laughing myself to death.

In 10 years time, who will have the weirder accent... Meaty or Kate?

The Dick Bang Theory.

Sister's getting married tomorrow, got me suit together and stuff. A real snappy grey number from a fancy Oxfam clothes shop (cue long winded Beex arguement about charity shop admin costs vs. profits) that top-trumped the department store stuff I was planning on getting. I look good. Going to take my Yashica along with two rolls of B&W film too.

Bordeaux, Chablis and honeymoon money for lil'l sis and bro-law too. Man, I'm going to be poor this month.

Because it's a worthy candidate for the Yay thread, I double post here as well as the Photo thread...


Somebody's little sister got married yesterday!









Congrats to my little sister Jen and all round nice guy Ian!

Awwww, lovely!!

I can has promotion?

YAY!

No actual cash increase at the moment, but promise of a review at year end.

Nice one. More work, no more money!

Nice one, good work!

Excellent! Well done you!

No more work; been doing the job for a year already.

Yay to having the official badge pinned on!

Not, he doesn't claim to have been doing work for a year.

Just finished the last part of the documentation for a project I have been working on for two years. Shame I can't tell any one what it is


This feels odd..

Is it Dimrill?

yes... yes it is.

Where is our lovable bearded fella?

In 12 hours I'll be in an airbus flying to Australia. Yay!

A Dimrill documentation manual. I shudder to think...

So. Jealous.

Nice one fella. I remain impressed by your ability to just get up and do stuff so decisively.

I am a bit pissed off though, I ordered a new t-shirt, another one for my dinosaur tshirt collection, last wednesday, it hasn't bloody turned up!

I had been planning the Oz trip for about a year, and I've been "ready to go" for a while now, just had to make the final push, and since there are sod all jobs in the UK, why not!

Good luck with everything.

Do they have Emo's in Oz, they're normally a decade and a half behind aren't they? You could be a trend setter!

I think they have emus

Streuth.

And drop bears.

And Dunny Budgies.

And Flaming Galahs. And Brass Razoos.

Make sure you have a sanga and a milkshake down at the surf club.

And throw a couple of cold bunyips on the barbie you inbred racist.

And look out for snakes under your bed

Im more scared of these


Maybe I can have the first australian beexmeet with taxalot!

Ah yes, the Huntsman Spider. I well remember those, as an 8 year old in Oz (we emigrated there in 1973 ... before coming back to the UK in 1976 ).

They're not venomous but they do give a nasty bite, apparently. As kids we used to try and find 'em lurking in the shadows underneath mobile classrooms, caravans and the like. They're fecking quick, mind. 30mph spider anyone?

Australia is simply *made* for 8 year old lads, what with stuff like this, along with all those awesome lizards, giant ants, massive bullfrogs and all the rest. Happy times.

Have a good trip mate, give my regards to Melbourne if you're headed that way.

On the spider topic, MrsChap texted me earlier and said:


Perplexed, I responded in the negative, and asked why the question.



So, my tarantula has shed it's skin. That's a yay, because apart from a couple of crickets a few weeks ago, she's not eaten anything for the best part of a year (bear in mind they're supposed to eat 4 or 5 large crickets a week) and as moulting can be a very dangerous thing for a tarantula if it's not hydrated enough, the fact that she's apparently shed her skin successfully means she's still healthy. Woo.

And Chazwozzers!

Ah right. I thought this was spur of the moment.
