Usually I'm really bad.
I end up taking all manner of pills and sprays, but so far this year it hasn't been bad at all.

I'm sure it'll catch up with me sooner rather than later, but my nose has been fine so far.

Or maybe different parts of the country at different times.
Where are you? It's like invisible burny fluff up here.

I'm in Bristol

Oh aye. I knew that as well.

I always wondered what it must be like to suffer from hay fever.

Sounds ghastly.
Alright Gazza?

Pretty much the same
and also looking forward to having some free time courtesy of my impending redundancy. I need some careers advice.

Let's start a business

What do you suggest?

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:47, Reply)

Crime fighters

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:48, Reply)

I dunno, I'm a bit out of shape.
Spandex wouldn't suit me at the moment.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:54, Reply)

What about nice baggy kecks

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:57, Reply)

But then I wouldn't be all streamlined and shit.
Can we not just nick stuff instead?
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:58, Reply)

I can't.
Despite my heritage, I really can't.

YOU'RE NO FUN ANYMORE GARY!

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:03, Reply)

I'd get us caught.
Me and my mum go faint when people nick.

Well the Self Employment route
Is terrifying. I've picked up some work but it's hard.

It's a blast though - I've not worked my mind or my personality so hard in years.

I'd thought about that
but the current domestic situation is not the perfect environment or mental place to be trying to do this, unfortunately.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:54, Reply)

I'm enjoying it
It's not paying the bills but I've only been trading for 21 days.

It's seat of yer pants stuff at the moment - I'm not a charming person but I've got to try and be.

Oddly I'm actually loving the selling bit.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:04, Reply)

I've been self-employed for nine years.
I don't make a living, but then again, I only put in about 16-20 hours a week. Basically I make enough that I don't need to work in a boring, soul-sucking job.

What do you do, b3th?

( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:32, Reply)

I sell crap on eBay
The only downside is that my house full of assorted detritus. And packing materials. And jiffy bags.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:42, Reply)

What sort of shite do you sell on ebay?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:43, Reply)

all sorts of shit

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:50, Reply)

Old comics and random bits of electrical equipment.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:52, Reply)

also old toys, ornaments and cosmetics
and any other old shite I can find.

Where do you get your stock from?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 21:55, Reply)

Roota, innit?

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 22:06, Reply)

I do a tad of ebay trading myself.
Primarily model railway stuff because I know the market.

If I could make it into my main business I would, but there's too many people out there now.

Bedtime for me.

It's shit DG

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:41, Reply)

Are you saying that having hay fever is shit
or that I'm shit? commas are everything, you know.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:42, Reply)

You'll never know!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:42, Reply)

Based on the general flow of the conversation
I'm going with the former and crossing my fingers really hard.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:44, Reply)

And you'd be right.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:50, Reply)

It's fucking awful
It's like having bricks in your sinuses and tear ducts.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:44, Reply)

No it's like having spider webs made of burny and itchy all over your face and in your eyes and up your nose

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:46, Reply)

I get bricks
I get a head that I can't move for it's solidness.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:53, Reply)

Ooh I get a bit of a headache but none of that sheeeit

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 21 Jun 2011, 20:57, Reply)

I'm amazed
Because I've really been fucked this year. Some years are worse than others but I've been suffering since late April.
