Time for a new thread?
Yeah, I think so. I'm one week into my new job, and I've never felt so overwhelmed.

Apparently I'm doing well. Who knew?

Oh yes, happy birthday Gonz, and does anyone have a birthday cake, hake or quite possibly a rake for him?

Or just a lunch thread?

Good man
Lunch was a Subway club for me, can't be away from my desk for more than 10 mins today, as every fucker in my departments is off this afternoon, so I'm fucking stretched.

I've got my hands on a new recipe for rabbit which is going to be used this week, as it looks fantastic.

This is what I looked like when I was the correct weight for my height
I have always been considered underweight (tall and skinny). A couple of years back I put on a bit of weight for the first time ever, which brought me up to "the right weight". Except, the only change was a bigger belly. Giving me the look of a snake who has swallowed an egg. Obviously, that had to go...

was that around the time you joined b3ta and thus instantly became a LOLfatty?

Hmm possibly around then, but I'd been a qotw reader/lurker for much longer. B3ta really does make you fat then? Just say no, kids.

Jesus titty Christ, when did I turn into my mum?

your grandfather, more like.

not mine though. he was a raging alcoholic too!

but for the record, we spent a chunk of the day in A&E (long story), so i only really started on the voddies at about 4.

no, my mum never "got" alcohol
probably because she had a piss-poor tolerance for it.

My grandparents couldn't have given less of a shit about boozing I suspect, although only one of them lived long enough to see me drunk.

i was quite proud of that one.
i have several clutches you can borrow, if you want? my favourite is the lulu guinness one with the "my heart belongs to" and then a list of crossed-out guys' names, but they're all different colours, so we can find the one that goes best with your lovely pink socks!
