Thunderbolts and lightning
Very, very fright'ning.

Actually it's just been ordinary rain here, but I hear the south had a bit of flash and bang last night.

How are we all this morning?

It stopped raining up here in manc a while ago and the heat came back, so it's incredibly humid. Plus the aircon in my office appears to be one elderly asthmatic blowing into a tube.

It's very humid here too
but it's breezy so at least the fog's cleared.

I need to go and fix the button on my jeans. It detached itself a while back and I fixed it temporarily with an R-clip on the back of the button. But more robust repairs are required now!

@Becky - I deliberately made it an obvious reference :)

The beach on the fog is great, some of my best childhood memories are of BBQs on the beach at Tentsmuir (Kinshaldy Beach) in the fog and the rain. Actually in every kind of weather really.
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Tue 29 Jul 2008, 10:54, Reply)

A mate and I
once made some pyrotechnics with stuff we had lying around in the lab, and took them all down to Kinshaldy beach to set light to them.

We did this because we were unlikely to be able to set fire to anything, and also unlikely to be seen should our results be more spectacular than expected.

In the event, all of our attempts were singularly unimpressive, because the glue we'd used as a binder used a chlorinated solvent and nothing would burn very well :(

My skills in that department have however improved since then.

Speaking of rock for brushing teeth reminds me
You know that Gaviscon stuff that's supposed to relieve heartburn? They advertise it as being nicer than tablets because it doesn't taste chalky.

I tried some once. It's horrible gloopy stuff, and tastes pretty awful. I actually much prefer the chalky taste, and (because I have an idea of the chemistry going on) I know Rennies are doing some good!

Wouldn't brush my teeth with them though.

Hello peeps
I'd like to dedicate this morning / afternoons chat to Donna, the nice lady at the UPS store who found my passport and went out of her way to get it back to me. I left the fucker on the counter and walked out, with 3 days to go before I leave. I've not slept, spent all night on the phone to the foreign office, the embassy and the police.

I'm ashamed to admit when she handed it over, I threw my arms round her neck and burst into tears.

I am, officially, a stupid stupid bitch.

I've never had a beer over there, so wouldn't know. I thought, though, when a 40 year old guy said that he'd been IDd for a lager, that he was joking.

"No, I'm 54."

It depends where you are
I've had beer a plenty and not been asked for ID, i've gone to my local liquor store and been ID-ed, on a second occasion the guy just put "1985" as my birthdate.

The there was one memorable occasion in LA where they wouldnt take my passport as ID as it didn;t have my height and weight on it. Go figure. You can find the full transcript on The "Barred" QOTW best of page. :)

I didn't get wine in the end, but may well make up for it this evening.

As I've said here before
I was ID'd in San Diego when buying beer - when I was 35. And what's more, the prat behind the bar wouldn't accept my passport as ID. WTF - it's the best form of ID I have as a Brit.

His manager soon sorted out the problem though.

Edit - why the fuck would your passport have your height and weight on it? Ten years ago I was much heavier than I am now. A lot can happen during the life of a passport.

Talking of cocks...
In the pub the other night, my friend (a lady) was telling me about a date she'd been on.

"...and then," she said "he sent me... this."

She showed me her 'phone. He had, after one date, sent her a picture of his nob. He'd written "I wanted 2 show u this" above it.

However, it was not in a state of, ahem, tumescence. It was nestled in his palm like a dead bird.

So my question is, why send a girl a picture of your flaccid willy after only one date? In fact, why send a picture of your willy at all?

how much MMS traffic is cock-based these days. But I'd guess that flaccid ones would account for only a small proportion of that.
