Yes, I know it's Monday
which is crap, but let's have a chat thread anyway.



How is everyone after the weekend?
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 8:51, 218 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

@Hey K
I'm fine thanks.
Bit tired, but otherwise good.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 8:54, Reply)

Morning Boss K
I am also a bit knackered. I have come in to work for a rest.

And the free, fast net access.

Oh, and the salary of course. Which is always handy.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 8:57, Reply)

I am currently drip-feeding caffeine
and have a shiny new nicotine patch on my arm.
And I didn't bring any fags with me. I'm frightened, quite frankly.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:00, Reply)

Fortunately for me
I have never smoked nor drunk coffee, so have never developed addictions to caffeine or nicotine.

That said, I may have to break out the Red Bull to wake me up a bit!
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:10, Reply)

No!
Red Bull is evil and wrong.
You must wean yourself from this vile concoction.
*coffee spasm*
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:19, Reply)

Drink Irn Bru instead!
It's much, much better for you. And will keep you going for the morning.

It's Monday, and I'm off today. But I have the dentists soon.

@PoD
The dentist trip wouldn't be Irn Bru related?
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:28, Reply)

Red Bull
is indeed evil.

But very occasional consumption does the trick.

*slurps*

I do normally drink Irn Bru though, and have a six pack of 1.5l bottles in my office at the moment!
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:28, Reply)

No, it isn't BK
It's just a routine visit as I haven't been in a while.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:31, Reply)

Just wondered
I love Irn Bru for it's hangover alleviation quality but it doesn't half hurt my teeth!
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:34, Reply)

Irn Bru
is great stuff. I usually drink the diet stuff though, as I find the ordinary stuff too sweet. Unless it's for curing hangovers, when the sugar is required.

It's a fine line between the risks involved between sugar rotting my teeth and the aspartame killing me with the cancers.

Is it coincidental you've both arrived simultaneously?
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 9:45, Reply)

How old do you feel?
I normally feel about 80 in the mornings.

In other news, my brother has gone on holiday for a week, so I'm borrowing his car, woo!

EDIT: Simultaineous arrival is, on this occasion a coincidence. I was half an hour late, due to the previously mentioned car.

Morning!
After the weekend, I feel broken, battered and beaten up. Agewise, that's about 77.

Why? I took on the garden. In an epic battle of wits, I came out on top. And that's only because I had a strimmer. The colony of ants living under my patio had a damn good go at me too.

Happy Monday!
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 10:14, Reply)

It most certainly is!
And we have a robin living in the shed. So I can't go in it any more.

The downside of having a nicely trimmed lawn is that I sat out in it all afternoon yesterday, drinking that Magners stuff, which is new to me as I don't like cider.

I now have a hangover. I don't like it!
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 10:21, Reply)

*scared*
You're gonna eat me?
That's rubbish, I don't want that happening.
I've got a new knife, sharp enough to cut through time itself, so beware *frowns*
( Cawl, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 10:22, Reply)

I wouldn't really think
that Kaol was organic, what with all the extra steel about his person.

So, this knife that cuts through time - a subtle knife is it?

And morning, DiT. I was going to do some weeding yesterday afternoon, but fell asleep instead, which was much nicer.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 10:25, Reply)

Subtle?
Yeah, it's titanium-coated, so the grey blends in nicely with the grey of my jeans.

I've had a couple of accidents with it already though, which is a shame.
( Cawl, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 10:28, Reply)

Morning, K2k6!
Sleep sounds vastly preferable to weeding. It was just that my weeds were threatening to take over my house.

NOT ON MY WATCH YOU EVIL WEED FUCKERS!

As a committed meat-eater
(not that kind of meat, you pervs), I would say that, in special circumstances (like a plane crash in the andes, something very extreme where I would die if I didn't and the whole group had agreed upon it), I would totally eat a human being.

EDIT: I'm going to buy a weed wand tonight. That sounds like the most woosome thing evar!
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Mon 14 Jul 2008, 10:39, Reply)

I think
Kaol's subtle knife accidents must have been instances of ripping little holes in the space-time continuum or something.

@ancrenne/DiT - a weed wand is a great idea, although it's not exactly environmentally friendly and carries the risk of burning down your house. But I want one now.

I've not thought much about eating humans. But I do like eating many other meats. I find vegetarian food lacking in satisfaction. After a meat free meal, it's like I'm full up but I don't feel like I've had anything to eat, if that makes sense. It's a weird feeling.

speaking of teacosies, did you know you can get tiny little ones to fit on baby boys' willies to stop them peeing about the place whilst being changed/bathed etc. apparently you can, and they're called PeeCosies. Don't ask me how I know that. I don't know.

PeeCosy?
My mate is always complaining that his wee boy pees on him when he's getting his nappy changed. Apparently the little fellow projects the stream with a fair pressure behind it, enough to hit his dad in the face.

So I may suggest a PeeCosy to him!

But I have run out of books to read. Can anyone recommend me a new one?

I like Terry Pratchett, Tom Holt, CJ Sansom, Nick Hornby and that kind of thing. I like biographies (of important historical people, not Jordan or whichever 21-year-old sleb that has decided I need to read about their lives) and histories. I also, sadly, like books with titles like 'Sniper One' or 'Vulcan 607'. Great train fodder.

I also like books like 'The Master and Margarita' and 'Metamorphosis'. 'Cos I'm cultured, innit.

Any suggestions will be greatly welcomed!

I've been plugging the Book Thief by Markus Zuzak quite a lot. Thought it was great.

To be honest, I'm too worried about having metal implements inserted in my vagina than to worry about how close the nurse is.

Unless you really pissed me off. And seeing as you're all nice, that won't happen.

I've never had my eyes tested since my school medical, aged 15. Maybe I should do it sometime, seeing as how it's free these days.

And Maladicta, a smear test may be unpleasant and embarrassing but it's a potential life saver. Not that I have first hand experience, of course!

I'm seconding K626 here. Get a smear test. It's a few minutes of vague discomfort as someone rootles around your business end, but it can save your life.

Oodles of them come back irregular. Absolutely loads. And do you know what that means, most of the time?
Absolutely cock-diddely-all.

It just means that they didn't manage to get enough cells from your cervix to give a clear reading, and so they ask you to come back so they can get some more. My first reading was irregular, so were ones for about half of my female friends. Happens all the sodding time, and is not to be worried about. It's when the speculum comes out dripping in pus and chunks of Aids that you need to get concerned. joking.

Hullo DiT! How are you?

Smear tests
Someone close to me went for a routine smear test. It came back irregular. There's a 1 to 10 scale of seriousness I believe, where 1 is perfectly fine, and 10 is cancerous, and hers was kind of half way up. So she have to go and have a laser fired up her muff*, which sorted it out permanently.

But had it gone undetected....

*no doubt there is a proper medical term for this procedure.

@Al
Yes, I'd say it is. I'm fairly hardy anyway, when it comes to pain. It left me ashen and shaking like a freshly-raped dog (to borrow a line from Legless), but it was worth it.

It's free (or was from the place I got it, but it might depend on where you live), lasts for 5 years (no panics when one doesn't remember to take ones pill), and means an end to fannying around with condoms. It also reduces period pains, and although I put on a bit of weight with it, it was nothing compared to the weight gain one can get with the pill (first time I went on the pill, aged 18, I put on a stone in a month, and am still struggling to lose it again!)

I'm a scarily shy creature - as I'm sure will be apparent if I ever actually make it to a bash - and the idea of someone who is not Mr Maladicta looking at my mimsy makes me feel a bit... acl.

Have a shot of whisky/rum/vodka/whatever floats your boat before you go in. Have several. Go with a mate (female). Maybe hide a few welcoming messages up your mimsy so the nurse feels at home.

You have to remember that yours is not the first mimsy the nurse or doctor will have seen and it probably won't be the prettiest or ugliest. Just relax and remember that to them your mimsy is just flesh.
