Mine is definitely not happy.

Rubbish.
I did this last year - watched as my sickly colleagues languished at home during work time and then got ill in the holidays.
I want to be in bed with George RR Martin.

The missus is still poorly and sounds like an asthmatic Joe Pasquale at the moment.
I hope to fuck I don't get it over the holidays. And that she's better before Christmas so she can enjoy rather than be flaked out all the time.

You should quarantine her in the shed
it's the only way
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:13, Reply)

Can't get in the bloody shed(s) (we have two) for all the crap that needs to be sorted through.
That I was going to do over the summer. And didn't.

They are made of brick.
None of yer poncy wood structures here, mate, oh no. Brick stands up to high winds better.

Is there a large Wolf problem in Newcastle?

Nah, but there are an awful lot of pigs, especially in the Bigg Market.

Question is, who painted the poor buggers ornage?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:22, Reply)

I don't know what ornage is.

You will, mark my words.
All those sickly bastards who ensured we got it too by coughing and sneezing all over us for weeks will now be all perky at Christmas.
I hate them.

Fucking inconsiderate blighters.
You're contaminated, stay the fuck at home and in bed for a couple of days, instead perpetuating your virulent mankiness to all and sundry, thereby reducing workplace effectiveness several times over and all because you're labouring under the misapprehension that you're indispensable.

How I laughed when some of those very same people were made compulsorarily redundant earlier this year.

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:23, Reply)

Are you still laughing now?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:23, Reply)

Yes he is.
By this time of day, he's usually pissed.

I also have an interview at three o' clock today. Woo, etc.

Best of luck old boy.
And of course, I hope you had a very Happy Birthday and got at least a blowie off the mrs.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:30, Reply)

Nope, as she was full of lurgy and couldn't breathe.
Rest of the day was good though. How I didn't wake up on Sunday feeling utterly ruined I don't know.

And thanks. It's part one of a hopefully two part process, the second of which will be in the new year. Only a three month contract though.

Do send her my love and some squishy hugs and shit.
You know, the kind of thing birds like.

Seriously, Book 3 is so good
I love how it keeps looking like it's going to be really fomulaic and then totally changing.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:18, Reply)

I haven't had time to read much so I'm still starting Book Two.
Hurrah for spare time at Christmas!

Oh man, so you don't know that *insert name of main character* totally dies

(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:28, Reply)

I've just finished the most recent one
Couldn't wait for it to come out in paperback.
Now I have to wait however many years 'til the next one. :(
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:31, Reply)

Yeah, I know I'm thinking that
but I've still got two a bit to get through so my wait is likely to be a few months shorter than yours. I hope he doesn't die before he finishes them. I'd be gutted.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 20 Dec 2011, 11:34, Reply)

He left it six years to get this one out
And he's a bit old and grey and beardy. But I think that might be a pre-requisite of the genre.

Robert Jordan dying
was the best thing that could have happened to the Wheel of Time series. George R R Martin is going the same way - too famous to be edited properly, and by christ does the new book need it. Book 4 too, for that matter.
