Typical.
A day in the life of... Me.

Last night I went to the Bash and hung out with some very, very cool people. We drank beer, told stories, and (I think) had a lot of fun. I even think that I didn't make an arse of myself and I have got some cool friends.

But I had to leave early as I didn't want to be too hung over because I was playing cricket today. And, because I'm weak, I can't just switch to soft drinks. Bah!

So this morning dawned and, admittedly a little fuzzy, I woke up, put on my whites, grabbed my nice new Woodworm bat, and went down to the Cricket Club.

It was raining. Forecast said (apparently) the rain would not stop. Match cancelled.

And now? The fucking sun has come out. It's scorching outside.

Bugger.

/moan ends.

Clendrix... Dunno! The Mrs is away, and I have no plans until tomorrow now... Hmm...

Yay August!
Alrght, MM? Good to see you last night!

You too DiT
May all your CDs be ever straight.
How is everyone this fine saturday?
( Madam Marlboro wonders if you've found her yet, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 13:40, Reply)

I'm fine!
I've been shopping, done my half of the housework and done my washing.

I plan to slob around for the rest of the day and maybe watch a movie with my flatmate later.

How are you, Madam?

Good good
Took the dog out, had breakfast..... that's it.

I do have to do some work today though. At some point.

It's very funny, you're in for a treat!

Hello Tulip
It is, isn't it? Just wait until they all appear later on...

*appears*
Hahahahahaha!

hello again kaol
glad to see you made it over from the other post.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:02, Reply)

^Orlright?
Got home well last night then?
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:03, Reply)

Yeah,
And I put the "double the speed limit and they'll actually fuck you" theory to the test.
I *think* you were there when I was talking about that.

They didn't bend me over the bonnet and shaft me.
( Cawl, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:06, Reply)

Kaol
what a shame. Might have been a fun end to the evening.
( thealternativefact, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:08, Reply)

I don't think so.
I should get dressed...
( Cawl, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:09, Reply)

Haha
I missed out on that one, I think...

It probably depends on what speed limit it is you're doubling...
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:10, Reply)

70...
On the M11.
( Cawl, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:18, Reply)

140?
In what car? 100 used to be automatic loss of license...
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:28, Reply)

Kaol
If your car can double that speed and not fall apart, I am impressed.
However, I am not impressed you haven't got dressed yet, young man. Get in the shower.
( thealternativefact, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:28, Reply)

T'was my Dad's car...
Rock and roll, I know.
On a fairly downhill section of road.

Afternoon Kaol, clendrix
Hope you enjoyed last night Kaol.

@clendrix

How are you this afternoon?

@BK
Hello you!
I'm fine today, but as I am very old indeed, I am taking it easy after being in Hyde Park all afternoon and evening yesterday at the Wireless festival.
What are you up to?
( thealternativefact, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:37, Reply)

*hug*
Shall I fetch you your slippers?


I am quietly saftisfied that my little tale was considered suitably freaky.
But I can't find my tele remote so I can't watch the Nick Cave stuff my bro recorded off BBC4 *sads*
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:40, Reply)

Oh, so you're all here
I was hanging around in the old thread, but it was a bit empty.

Pretty poor show from your Brazilian this afternoon, clendrix.

*gratefully allows slippers to be fetched*

Which story, the Lucy one? I liked that.

Edit: K2k6 - stop it! A tremendous effort was put in to achieve that result.
( thealternativefact, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:47, Reply)

@clendrix
Ah no, my little fictional piece.

Shall I fetch your pipe too?
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:48, Reply)

Yeah, I appreciate that, clendrix
It was a close shave. But in the end he missed out by a hair.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:50, Reply)

yup, we're all here
I'll be here til 6pm.

Meant to be doing invoices but can feel another tale brewing.

*frowns*

@BK
I'd missed that! But now I've read it - I really liked* it!

*except that it was scary and grim, whcih means full marks!

@K2k6 *sighs*
Behave! Have you been reading that 'dad jokes' QOTW again? He's perfect and pocket-sized.

*surreptitiously rumages around in pocket*
( thealternativefact, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 14:59, Reply)

@hlt
Yay! More tales; I demand more tales!

*edit*
There's another home-grown kitten in it for you.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 15:02, Reply)

another kitten?
I am rather peckish.

*goes away to write another tale*
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 15:06, Reply)

@HLT
That was quite a good Kaol impression there! And yes, more tales please. I have no kittens (even shop bought ones) but I can supply some fluff.

@clendrix - No, I haven't been reading the dad jokes. I'm naturally like that...
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 15:07, Reply)

I often serruptitiously rummage around in my pocket.

Nothing like it! Good fun, and keeps other people away.

I am inspired by the efforts of others and so am currently writing my story.

@K2k6 - well, you make me laugh.
( thealternativefact, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 15:21, Reply)

Is everyone away writing stories?
Or are you just rummaging in your pockets, playing with your Brazilians?
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 15:56, Reply)

I'm writing my story
and checking in here too.

We seem to have hit a Saturday afternoon slump, though.
( thealternativefact, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 16:00, Reply)

I'm still here, sort of.
I thought I had a tale to write, but the words won't come.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 16:10, Reply)

Oh dear
Saturday afternoon is evidently not an inspiring time!

No words, tulip? Perhaps you could perform it through the medium of interpretive dance?
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 16:12, Reply)

interpretive dance eh.
I'm not falling for that one. Keep playin with your brazilians.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Sat 5 Jul 2008, 16:14, Reply)

I thought, what with you being in a theatre and all
interpretative dance may be just the thing!

(Spelling changed - I wasn't sure whether the 'at' in the middle was required, but it is. I think my original spelling is the American way, and therefore wrong)

I don't have a pocket Brazilian though. Just clendrix.

(I don't mean I have a pocket clendrix, I mean she...oh, WTF. It doesn;t matter)

Erm
What exactly are you doing in my pocket, clendr....Oh! OK.

Carry on.
