Saturday evening generic thread
Looks like there's only me, Crunchy and LiC on the internet tonight. Anyone else out there?

My Saturday evening looks like Dr Who, Eurovision, possible takeaway and copious amounts of alcohol. How does this differ from your saturday night plans?

Alt: where the fuck have you all been?

I'm off to my mate's for Eurovison.
I've been walking 9k, having my bank card stolen by a stupid crashing Santander machine, drinking with dad (and borrowing money from him) then shopping for food and getting drenched.
My mate will be so amused when she picks me up. I will be wearing some round-the-house clothes, but as I will also have footwear on it will appear like I 'mean it' and have become a scally scouser.

I am proper proud of you our kid
Not for the scallyness, obviously. That's just something our family will have to gloss over at social occasions.

I could pretend to be mute?
My Aldi injury is giving me far more trouble than any mild walking fatigue. Again, the Aldi thing, might not want to share that with the rest of my in-laws either. Fanx.

I got a frantic phone call yesterday morning
Mary had lost her garage key and was wondering if we had moved it. I panicked, because I hate to think I might have done something bad.

Anyway, it turned out her neighbour had it, so we're off the hook. also, she was over the moon at her giftcard.

probably won't drink alcohol
but there will probably by a bbq, depending on rain.

Just making the last thing to go in randomburn before I post them. I am proper excited about this, I hope people like them (I'm sure Mr Dizzle won't)

I have all my randomburn bits together, and my playlist is done
I just need to burn the CDs, and I should be able to get them posted on Monday.

I had my first one the other day, but it didn't come with a playlist. I haven't listened to it yet.

I made a cover
and everything using the powers of half assed graphic design

Oh I haven't done anything that exciting
but what I do every year is as well as a track listing, I write a paragraph about each song and why it's in my collection.

haha mine would be quite boring in that case
Track 1: because I like it
Track 2: because I like it
Track 3: because I secretly love it

I have done loads of DIY and nursed a poorly wife
Tomorrow the carpet fitter is coming and the spare room will be finished. Woo. And Yay.

DIY and nursing?
Have you become a hermaphrodite?

Nursing has been in the form of saying "Go back to bed"

does she have sandwich making facilities in the bedroom?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 14 May 2011, 17:22, Reply)

She's got a poorly tummy
I made her fresh bread and she ate some, now she's back in bed.

poor mrs al.
It's obviously not food poisoning, as there probably weren't any pies left by the time she got there.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 14 May 2011, 17:32, Reply)

that was a joke
about you eating all the pies!
Just so you know.

I got paid yesterday
so have been to do the monthly bulk shop. Got through the checkout only to find that I'd left my debit card at home. Good job I live just around the corner from Aldi (sorry to mention their name, Gary).

I've been all like "STUPID BODY, STOP BEING PAINFUL, PLEASE" and it's been less painful than yesterday, which is less painful than the day before, but still very painful.
I look forward to it hopefully being less painful tomorow.

I've now managed to eat food, which is good, I'm battling between getting thai from some place that delivers to my ma's, and not being able to eat it.. or just doing some salmon in the oven like yesterday. I don't think I'm going to do the right thing and cook some salmon, because I'm a massive twat. But I have hardly ate this week and I really want thai food. Plus it's a saturday and I'm all OH WOE IS ME, STUFF MY FACE WITH LIFE VALIDATING FOOD. I'm much better today than yesterday, but still in lots of pain. Sad Times.

I hope you feel better and can eat takeaway again soon

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 14 May 2011, 18:05, Reply)

Despite having a house full of food, I would love a takeaway this evening.
Except there is no money in the house, nowhere near takes debit cards or cheques, and I can't be arsed to go out to the bank.

Ooh get you with your debit card.
Santander's stupid ancient cash machine stole mine.

I saw that. The bastard.

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Sat 14 May 2011, 18:13, Reply)

But it kept trying to reboot
so I had to cancel the card in case it spat it out and I wasn't there.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 14 May 2011, 18:19, Reply)

Saw a gorgeous moderniste bulding in North Barcelona the other week
With a massive fuck off Santander logo on it. It looked more than a little sacriligous.

Afternoon all
Been out to watch the largely forgettable cup final.
Bit sad as waiting for news on my good friend's mum who appears to be in the very final stages of cancer in a hospice. Awaiting the appearance of Miss Beekers with food, wine and cuddles.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Sat 14 May 2011, 17:52, Reply)

Sorry to hear about your mate's mum, Beekers.
cancer is a bastard and no mistake.

How's the new job going, btw?

My mate's dad's funeral was on Monday.
I'm seeing her tonight and she's at the angry stage, but not with me.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sat 14 May 2011, 18:11, Reply)

Thanks mate
Surprised myself by bursting into tears when Miss B appeared. The cuddles were very welcome.

Not too bad. I feel like a fraud, knowing absolutely fuck all about the job. Weird feeling not knowing every aspect of it Hate having to play everything by ear. Still, sure it'll be ok given time. Looks like there will be prospects as well this time.

Hope it goes well tonight, Roota. Suspect I'll be playing the same role very soon. He seems to be bearing up ok so far. I'll just be there for him when he needs it.

PJM and nuggets have gone out for a bike ride.
Today I have been busy taking my mother to buy a dress for my dad's funeral which is on Tuesday. Also just dropped the order of service off to Staples to get it printed and also bought out the entire whisky stock of Morrisons for Monday night's wake.
Would now like a sleep and Dr Who.

I'd love to add something else to this to convey additional sympathy but I'm not articulate enough.
I hope the funeral provides a bit of closure and the wake is a great celebration of his life.

It's hard, isn't it to say the 'right thing' when someone has died
especially when it's someone's parent. My dad was 70 so he'd had a good long life, he died with all of us around him and it was fairly sudden so from his point of view, ideal.
I do think as a society we tend to avoid death - either talking about it or dealing with it. He was the first dead body I'd ever seen and I was surprised at how normal it all felt. A tragedy for us as a family, certainly, but not a tragedy in the same way as when a child or someone young dies.
I miss the old bugger but I was lucky to have him around for as long as I did - plenty of people haven't had a dad as good.

If it helps at all, this is the perfect time to score, you'd totally get away with having an affair or two...
... can't do that for too long, I reckon you've got about 2 months worth of potential action if you play it right.

Advantages to having a dead dad, by gonz.
- More corner pieces of sheppard's pie, lasagnia or other baked goods
- When having home made chips, the left over ones because there were too many made to fit on everyone's plate, are totally yours.
- The ratio of non-broken egg yolks goes in your favour.
- Waaay more aspagous
- Get to watch hollyoaks on both normal _and_ E4.

Although you have to put up with ma' deleting everything you wanted off the sky box because it's on 25% full and ITV3 have some detective show based in some backwards village in the arse end of no where on.
