I knew a bloke who was in love with similar bags.
There were two in particular he loved more than any others.

Yes, that's right. He was bi-satchel.

Well at least you've not groaned at the price.

( girlinthehole, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 22:00, Reply)

Nah, it's discounted innit.
And if that is how you want to spend your money, who am I to question it?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 22:04, Reply)

Ooh, I like that
if both the bag and the price were a bit smaller, I'd probably buy it...

I like how it suggests completing the look with a bra.

Gay

He was in good company with another bent chap by the name of Adam

They were both simply divine darlings!

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:53, Reply)

To be fair though
Darth did not sound the gayest there. Fairly gay, but not the most gay.
(berk, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 21:56, Reply)

Yeah I definitely had Adam up on the gayness stakes, looks like Darth got to pummel someone else's arse for a change

Poor Martin, he seems to spend his day analysing peoples communication problems by telling them to turn their computer off and back on again

Ann asked him if he was so dull that he had to stick metal in his ears to make him interesting.
She also berated a fat woman for only being good at eating.

She'd fit in well on here.

Maybe!
Sorry to hear about the jetlag, love. The only think I do is don't even think about what time it is here. Makes it easier for me but the most I've had to deal with is 8 hours. 12 I can imagine is just pure hell.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 22:21, Reply)

I've been awake since 3am here, and just feel wide awake and normal.
it's annoying the shit out of me.

Hope you get back into a routine soon...

I'm sure I will eventually.
just really been busy since I got back. haven't even finished unpacking yet.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 22:44, Reply)

Why not have a couple of glasses of wine, and then go back to bed again?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 22:36, Reply)

Don't really drink much.
plus it's 10am now and I have things I need to do today.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:01, Reply)

Have you considered becoming semi-nocturnal?
I know a few people who have tried it for a week or two and found it a strangely interesting experience. _{I realise this suggestion is probably not helpful to your sleep-deprived self at this time.}
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:06, Reply)

I don't think it's a possibility that needs considering, since I am that at the moment.
falling asleep at 4pm in the afternoon - waking up at 3 am... may as well be nocturnal to an extent.

In other, tragic news, I have discovered two of my favourite pairs of shoes have succumbed to a mouldy death :(
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:08, Reply)

Don't be too upset.
They'll have gone to heaven.

You see, shoes have soles.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:13, Reply)

you deserve a good spanging for that.
I really wish I hadn't come home. It seems like I've just come back to my parents arguing constantly and cracking it with each other.

My sister lived in Australia for 5 years
(having been out on a 6 month tourist visa), she hating coming back.

Granted, she got deported and she had a nice life out there, but that aside, all the little things that people normally brush off were amplified in her mind as she was missing her old/more recent life.

When do you go away to Uni? If you can remain sane until then you can use your desire to get back over here to motivate yourself into achieving it.

I'm glad you enjoyed your UK break though, obviously you said the snow and the people you were with were highlights, what else do you look back on fondly?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:22, Reply)

I go to uni in three weeks.
I was planning on tutoring and babysitting while at uni. And maybe working casually at the local superstore.

I really loved the countryside, and the history - your buildings are so old and often there's great stories behind them. It's a beautiful place to live. Plus I met someone and grew quite attached to them, so I'm really missing them at the moment.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:29, Reply)

Well it sounds like you'll need no motivation to get where you want and need to be.
I'm guessing there are still a load of buildings and shit you never found time to see.

Bath is a lovely part of the world, so pencil that in when you come back!

I remember when my sister lived in Australia, it was 'pre Internet' so it was weekly air-mail letters and monthly phone calls lasting a couple of minutes. At least these days, with things like Skype, things are a little easier, even if they aren't perfect.

Take it you are over your concerns about flying now?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:33, Reply)

No. I cried on the plane home because it was turbulant and I was convinced the plane was going to fall out of the air and that I was going to die.
I know I'll get back, mum's not happy about it though.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:43, Reply)

She has probably just missed you.
And the chances are, you've changed quite a bit since you've been away. I'm guessing you're more confident and independent than you were before you left, close?

Or does your mum have other concerns?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 2 Feb 2011, 23:46, Reply)

My sympathies on the shoe front. Both my pairs of shoes now have a hole in them you can actually see through.
At least yours have suffered an unholy fate.

On the jetlag front, I know a professor who used to work 7am-4pm each day, which presumably entailed getting up some time between 5 and 6am. She's now head of our department, so clearly good things can come of an esoteric routine. Though you might do better to just fight off the jetlag. I'm told that having a day or two where you force yourself to stay awake until 10 or 11pm will just about force your circadian cycle back into shape. Admittedly you'll have to force yourself to stay awake for an extra 6 hours, but you know, it's not like you have to navigate a frozen Belgian city in that state of mind.
