Yeah, not bad thanks
Been quite a long week-and-a-half, so I'm just taking an evening to unwind with hard liquor and good jazz. At some point I'll probably just fall asleep at the keyboard, but at least I needn't be in a hurry to wake up tomorrow. Or later today, as it is now.

How 'bout you?

Meh alright
likeyv ou say, long week. Don't thin I've finished before 6pm this week and sometimes had to go straight from work to babysitting then back in to work again. I'm glad it's the weekend and paydya.
Hard liquor would be a bad idea right now (esp given sleepiness and ridiculously low tolerance for same) and I;m listening to Elbow &b sigur ros.

Ah, well little wonder you're dozing off

I think you of all people
should know exactly how easy it is for me to fall asleep when i'v had a drink...

Indeed, I remember it well.
I'm just waiting for it to have the same effect on me. That is to say, you're not alone; I've ended sleepdrinking on one previous occasion.

'rememer it well'
ie, significantly better than I do then! Thinkign back on it, I must have been asleep for quite a while. Sorry...

Well, I say "remember it well,"
as the third consecutive day of excessive drinking, I was fairly spaced out. I'm just impressed by what you managed to sleep through, especially after Monty fired up his turntable _{(seriously, how can anyone sleep through a track from The Who: Live at Leeds?)}

I have protested on many occasions
about how boring I really am - I hardly have a chance when my body decides it'd rather sleep than have fun, do I?
I do remember being rather sleepily aghst at how loud what I was sleeping through was though...
(berk, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 0:45, Reply)

It was rather loud
But to be honest I was sleepily aghast at what Monty's neighbours must have been woken up to.

I rather got the impression from Monty when we bumped him to him the following day
that they are probably used to it, poor buggers.

They certainly seemed to take it better than my weird former neighbour in Wimbledon
(Ok, we were far too loud that one night, but did he realise how much of a fucking racket his sprog kicked up when she decided all was not well with the world at any given hour of the day?)

Kids innit
parents never realise that sort of thing because it's their beloved crotchfruit doing it.

Well, this is true
To be fair to him, I will probably be a peculiar and shifty-looking individual married to a mail-order Asian bride and still living with my mother by the time my hypothetical first child appears on the scene.

In the meantime, I appear to have run out of brandy, which is probably an indication that it's worth retiring to bed...

Pfft
lightweight.

You don't need a mail order bride - just encourage your sister to get sprogged up, children are mcuh more fun when they're someone elses, you can give them noisy toys and then give their parents a cheery wave as you fuck off back to your life of comparitive luxury anf sleep.

I'm glad you clarified that point
Halfway through reading that, I thought you were about to suggest I take up Bert's post in his absence...
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:15, Reply)

Haha, no definitely not
especially since of the two of us, I'm the one with a sister who's married to my brother.
(berk, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:18, Reply)

Yeah, even though I can see how that could work in a perfectly legal and above-board sense, once you take step-siblings into account
It just doesn't seem quite right...
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:29, Reply)

Es[eciallly when you consider
there's only one set of grandparents..
(berk, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:33, Reply)

Ah. Well, that downgrades it from
"not quite right" to "frankly worrying."
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:37, Reply)

It all makes perfect sense when it's explained
but I would struggle to summon the energy and concentraion to do so right now.
Besides, I'm from the north. Most things which are mildly untoward can be shrugged off with that excuse.
(berk, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:39, Reply)

That is a very good point.
And similarly, I haven't the energy nor the concentration to argue otherwise. I think I may have to call it a night. Good night!
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 30 Jan 2011, 1:48, Reply)

N'night!
