Fingers crossed please
Tonight after work I'll be meeting a lady who is prepared to pay me between £20 and £25 a day to look after her menagerie while she goes on holiday. Works out as an hours work a day - half hour in the morning and half hour in the evening and it takes about 10 minutes to walk there from work.

So if she likes me then I'll earn enough to afford my New York trip in November :)

She will, of course, immediately employ you! But good luck anyway.

I hope so
otherwise I'll be stuck in London for my birthday and that goes against all my plans for my 30th. It wouldn't be the end of the world, but I'd be a bit gutted.

I shall cross my fingers for you.

I was hanging round in qotw proper, wondering where you'd all gone!

All this to-ing and fro-ing is becoming most confusing!

I think they're all over the place today!
We probably need to get a plan together so that we can all continue with our long, rambling chats that go on for ages. I love those!

Hello all
Is this the meeting place today? We seem to be spread rather thinly.

K2k6, take care of HLT while I'm gone!

(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 11:12, Reply)

It's actually
quite a good place. It means we can have long rambling threads (as we do anyway) without going off topic, or threadjacking a legitimate post on the QOTW board.

And it's our area, so we can kick out /talk-ers if they become a nuisance.

No, I've not been reading the Spooooooky new QOTW, I just saw Enzyme's profile pic.

Why do you have no new dreams mr k6?

@ fireflier. that's nothing, I went to SCHOOL with him!

mind you, he had to go to school with me
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 11:19, Reply)

Morning Fireflier
I don't think Enzyme's actually that scary in real life. Although he is scarily intelligent.


@HLT - there was discussion of my previous night's dream yesterday, but I didn't have any last night. Not that I can remember, at least.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 11:22, Reply)

Oh, right
where should I look to find it?

no not there
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 11:26, Reply)

Actually
it was done by gaz. So it's not on the board.

Fair enough.
I've just been for a look at /talk.

NOoo! Don't do it.

It's becoming like the twilight zone for us QOTWers.

and btw, who DID you dream about?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 12:17, Reply)

Yes, K2k6
tell us!

Err
It was one of the regular QOTW-ers.

*coughs*

Edit - I'm off for a swim (with my towel, HLT!) More when I return, about 1.20.

(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 12:26, Reply)

Has he gone?
*whispers* It was Kaol, I'm sure of it.

Up to rudery in K2k6's head.
( thealternativefact, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 12:28, Reply)

*looks around*
*whispers*
Yeah, I think so.

it couldn't have been Kaol, he's a boy.

I bet it was beckyconsonants!
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 12:34, Reply)

Are you sure it wasn't a boy?
There's no controlling people's dreams - perhaps he wanted it to be Becky, but Kaol came rampaging through instead...

If that's the case, what a shock!
( thealternativefact, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 12:37, Reply)

yeah, k2k6 said it was a lady b3tan!
have YOU been dreaming about kaol?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 12:39, Reply)

Oh...
I missed that bit. OK, fairy nuff, Becky it is, then.

Fortunately, Kaol has not yet found a way into my dreams; I dream so infrequently that it would be very difficult. With all those knives, it would be a bit like Freddy Krueger in his heyday.

Is the rest of our lovely gang pretending to work? Shame on them.

*lumbers back in from swimming pool*
Phew, that was hard work.

*sits down*

*drips slightly*

Let's see now...

Bloody hell! Kaol! No no no no.

Much as he'd like to come rampaging through everyone's dreams with his knives, he's not made it in to one of mine yet.

And it wasn't Becky either. Although, she was most folk's first guess.

mmmm raspberries for lunch. nomnomnom.

how was your swim o drippy one?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:26, Reply)

@HLT
Tiring, as it happens. I usually do 40 lengths for my lunchtime swims, but I've not been in as often recently so gave up at 36 when it was starting to hurt.

Which means I'll need to do 44 tomorrow to make up for it, because I'm picky with that sort of thing. OCD? You decide.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:32, Reply)

If we guess correctly
will you tell us?
( thealternativefact, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:32, Reply)

Pretty much every one of the regulars
except you two, already knows anyway. So, yes, I suppose I will.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:34, Reply)

40?
how long do you get for lunch?
that would take me, oo, about a week!

and ^ what she said - will you tell us if we get it right?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:35, Reply)

40 lengths
is 1km. I can usually do that in 30 minutes. Which isn't really that good. I get as long as I need for lunch, as I have no set hours. If I need to work through it, I do. If I need to work late, I get no overtime.

On the other hand, I can go off swimming at lunchtime, and can skive off early if I need to. So it all balances out, and I don't abuse it.

On the other subject, I may have to tell you the answer by gaz. But feel free to guess away. It amuses me :-)
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:39, Reply)

Not that good?
I consider it an achievement if I can from one end to the other without drowning. So that must make you a dolphin or something.

Yeah, go on, gaz us the answer!

Was it any of the following: ancrenne, theweewitch,clendrix, big-girls-blouse, bobfossil, maladicta, chcb?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:50, Reply)

Or
HLT!
( thealternativefact, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:52, Reply)

One of you
has the correct answer...
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:53, Reply)

oh yeah
or was it me?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:54, Reply)

Aha!
I am now enlightened.

But if it wasn't that sort of dream...

*interest lessens*
( thealternativefact, Thu 3 Jul 2008, 13:56, Reply)

OK
so now we're all enlightened, and suitably ahem-ed out, can we move on.

For the record, I am not a dolphin. My nose isn't long enough, and despite being cack handed at times, I do not have flippers.

And I'm not grey-skinned.

Well in that case
join us in Maladicta's off-topic thread.

She called up to see if it was today we'd agreed upon and has rescheduled for a few week's time now. Grrr

Pity about not earning the money sooner.

But New York is pretty similar to London anyway.
