Well last night had some 'special' threads ffs.
What's special in your lifeEither in the nice way, or the slightly retarded way?
Alt,today's news is fucking depressing, really downbeat stories. Upbeat news story please,
skateboarding duck or something like that. Probably find in the Metro.
Altalt, is there a defining moment in your life which you would return to if you could? Career change, education, relationship sort of thing? I was going to join the navy, but didn't, always wondered what
it would have been like. Probably ended up with interesting versions of the clap.

Morning Pook
Well, I have no one thing that's 'special' at the moment, rather a collection of things which have made me a lot happier than I have been in a while. Yeah, gay, so what?
Alt: There's something about a blind chicken being saved from something, with a headline that probably says some pun on 'cock' which will be both heart warming, humorous and life affirming I'm sure, but I haven't read it yet.
Altalt: There are several things I wish I had done when it was easier to do so, more education, travel, touring the US of A with a DJ in my late teens who invited me to do warm up sets whilst promoting 'Drum'n'Bass' over there which I passed up, not getting shit tattoos.... but having said that I'm alright, and there's plenty of time in the future to do *some* of the things I wish I already had. I WOULD ALSO NOT HAVE EATEN SO MUCH MEATZA LAST NIGHT THAT I HAD TO LIE DOWN.

Yeah probably. The Falklands put me off a tad, I didn't mind shagging and drinking my way round the world getting a nice tan.
It was forreners dropping bombs on me that was the downside.

Special?
One thing that's making me a lot calmer and happier is the recognition I get in the new job. The money's nice too.
Alt: G/F's mum is going home today after recovering from a stroke AND a heart attack. Tough old bird, her mum*.
Altalt: Realising that, due to my rampant atheism and both my parents being dead, I and I alone was responsible for my actions. Quite liberating.

*thought I'd give the strikethrough fans an easy target this morning.

Similarly, I was going to join the air force. But I didn't get a flying scholarship so I changed my mind*. Because 16 years service of potentially killing people wasn't important, but free money at Uni was.

Good job I didn't as I turned into a yoghurt-knitting peace-loving left wing cunt, eh, readers?

33", but It's not, specifically, leg length that matters. I was trying to avoid boring the board.
It's (or it was for Tornado pilots) the proportional length of your thigh bone, as that dictates whether the front, fixed part of the canopy removes your kneecaps during ejection. Mine is apparently 1/2" too long.

Or maybe I tested positive for hand-wringing and they were looking for an excuse, who knows?
