Just been invited to a school reunion, via Friends Revisited.
Has anyone ever been to one?
I left school 25 odd years ago, haven't kept in touch and I disliked most of them. Might be fun turning up and telling the cunts what I thought of them. Pissed obviously.

DG's post last night has got me thinking...
If you could do any job at all in the world, what would it be and why?

I think I'd still be doing all the jobs that I do but I'd do them with greater confidence - I'd have a huge reputation for being brilliant instead of a huge reputation for smiling and saying yes a lot.

You?

Just leave it in the past
Last night I was handed a shiny little DVD of the new ATeam movie. No spoilers but the whole thing was a huge barrel of shite. I really had hoped that this might break the trend of movie crossovers and rebirths of old tv shows, remakes etc. It also made me think what other tv shows, films, video games etc would make good/bad movies.

What should never have been made into a movie?

Do you remember that thread about child b3tans
I saw this failblog.org/2010/07/26/epic-fail-photos-parenting-fail-31-6/#comments and I thought of Applebite and Kitty. What a great picture.

Or, why do you want time to go faster? What are you looling forward to?

Last night I discovered that after years of cumulative abuse more colourful than the combined tongues of Oscar Wilde and Bert Monkeysex, my hair has developed the ability to reject blonde hair dye. On top of that, I had to spend 5 minutes detangling knots in my headphone wires that could not possibly have tied themselves before I could go and get more dye.

Good morning, my friends!
I was just thinking today, you know, technology, what a good thing.

When I came to England I had to rely on the very expensive phone to keep in contact with friends and family. Only 5 years later I'm chatting with my sister who lives in NY using my mobile phone, for free (well, kind of, it's included in my tariff). And I just downloaded Google Sky, which is so coooool.

Which recent bits of technology you find most impressive? With which ones you couldn't live anymore? Which ones would you set on fire?

Last night I dreamt about my cat
just general stuff about the house, quite normal. She died at Easter and I've missed her a bit.

As I woke up, feeling rather sad, I felt that little bounce in the mattress of a small body jumping onto the bed, and then the distinctive quiver of little paws walking up the bed.

I opened my eyes and sat up, but there was, of course, nothing there. Perhaps it was just a lingering sense impression from the dream. Perhaps.

Anything spooky happened to you lately?

This place is moving with all the speed of a spastic in a magnet factory tonight.
So... I may be out of a job shortly, assuming I get the redundancy I've volunteered for. No biggie, I like the job and all but the package I'd (hopefully) get would see me alright for a fair bit and also allow me to pay off what debt I have (loans not insured as I reckon it's not worth the paper it's written on). Plus, if it's a choice of going now on current terms or waiting for the Goovmint to get their bill through Parliament that will allow them to slash redundancy packages in the public sector, then I'll take my chances now, thank you very much.

However, I'm not one for sitting on my arse ad infinitum and would want to work; another reason for putting in for redundancy now is that I figure I'm still young enough to try something different. Trouble is, after nigh on 20 years of working in the same sector, I'm not sure what. Any suggestions? Currently, I do project appraisals for small to medium business and community sector grants, but have also done shitty admin type stuff and persuading the unemployed that working for a living is actually a fucking marvellous idea. I trained in graphic design but don't really have the inclination to get into that now.

Gonz is back in the kitchen !
Right, it's slow here, so I'm gonna show off a tad, as I've just made the nicest meal I've made in months and months and months, and it's all my own recipie.

Fry off some sort of thai paste in a wok, I used mansomething, manung or something like that. Add half a packet of veg / cut your own veg, whatever you want, stir it all up, add in a nest of noodles, top up with a tin of coconut milk and half a tin of water, simmer for 15 minutes, add some prawns and when they're pink, they're done.

Pic in Replies.

I even got a posh tin opener from Marks, it's great, it opens the tin without any hassle at all, I should never have wasted all those years using shit one from the pound shop. And I got a lovely new bowel.

Anyway.... I'm just beakering, wrong time to beaker, hardly anyone is here, HELLO IF YOU ARE.

Tell me about the last time you thought to yourself "Oh gee oh gosh, I'm so swell".
I put the prawns in after the veg and they are over-done, but I know for next time.

Classy. Reeeeal classy.
The rather attractive fella on the bus today was staring at me.

"Ooh," thinketh I, "for someone who's just on his way home from having a rather nasty tooth extraction I reckon I look pretty good". So I gave him my cutest little half-smile (not so difficult when the other half of your face is still anaesthetised and motionless) and hopped off the bus.

That pepped up my afternoon, I can tell you.

It wasn't until I got off the bus that I realised: the reason he was staring was because (due to my mouth being numb) I had unknowingly dribbled a large quantity of blood and saliva down my chin and onto my shirt.

Anyone had a "really classy" moment like that, that they'd care to share? I'm in a whole world of pain right now and some LOLs are needed.

What albums/music have you recently re-discovered? I watched fight club for the first time in years the other night and downloaded the soundtrack again as I lost it during my last house move.

I bought some really poncy nice cheese this week that my flatmate threw out 'cus it smelled, BUT THAT WAS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. It was called "ardraham irish farmhouse cheese", well lush. Yup, tonight is deffo the kind of night for sushi.
