I've been out in the field
My brother and his mates made a pipe bomb out of sparklers.
Like this:

Except it kinda went wrong, and looked like a pretty Roman Candle.
Good work lads...

Evening all
I'm predictably knackered and have forgotten all the stuff I intended to do once I got home, so am replying to emails I forgot to reply to at the weekend while I try to remember what I was going to do.
How is everyone?

Work is good
but we're hella busy at the moment and one of our nurses is leaving on Wednesday. We've got a H&S inspection this week, then two RCVS inspections next months, so it's all a bit manic there getting everything ready for it. Plus I'm rabbit sitting which is nice, but adds two hours to each working day.
Still celebrating your good news from Friday?

and does anyone know how to set up an account with BT when you don't know the phone number, just the address? Ditto EDF (we have to stick with the suppliers we were given, it's part of the contract) and anything else, fortunately we have no gas... it's driving me crazy and limited internets at work are making it even harder!

@ Maladicta
Just phone BT on your mobile and tell them the address. Doesn't matter what the phone number is.
As for EDF, you'll just need the MPAN number of the meter.

^ I've tried ringing BT but they left me dangling for ages on very little credit.
With a bit of luck Mr Maladicta is headed flatwards sometime this week and can look for any BT stuff we may need, because I need it to set up internets, too, and my usual link to the workings of BT has tonsil AIDS currently.

Oh dear...
you weren't here for the story of Wheely Man.
Wheely Man is an annoying guy in a wheelchair who pestered Wookiee and me at the pub the other day. It involved a long diatribe from him, resulting in Wookiee telling him he seems to have an autistic spectrum disorder. I was nearly ill.
When Maladicta was out with us on Thursday night, we saw him and ran away, but poor Maladicta did not see the pavement and fell, hurting her ankle badly.
I had to buy her a pasty. Wookiee got her some frozen peas.

We do!
We took Maladicta to Charing Cross station in a cab to put her on the train and even though she was in pain, she still managed to squeal excitedly when we went past Trafalgar Square.
In fact, it was sighting the BT tower that made her fall over in the first place. These tourists...
Edit: Maladicta, glad you're OK honey - get that bloody physiotherapy referral!

Once I get moved over to Ashford (and sort out all the utilities, which is taking forever, especially with no free internets at work - even going on the EDF site today got me blocked!) I promise I will go for physio :)

I'm back home after spending a nice(?) night out with Clendrix and Wookie!

Admittedly
it was me singing along to Oasis in the pub that initiated the rude gesture and howls of hatred.
We then embarked on a Blur v Oasis argument that was about 12 years out of date.
TBH, I don't think either of us particularly likes the one we were defending, but don't let that stop you, Kaol!

I'm at Waterloo 5 days a week at the moment for an indeterminate length of time, infuriatingly - will be finishing there anywhere between early September and the 26th when all my colleagues get laid off and the department moves to Ashford run by ... me and others. Eep.
Problem is I have no internets at work and so have to cram all my b3ta-ing into the few hours before bed :(

Yeah it's fine
It bled for a while, but stopped after a bit. Was in my hairline too, so hidden from view. There were lots of trainee medics about, so if it had been really bad I would just have got them to check it out.
But hopefully no long term damage, maybe even a cool scar though. Apparently chicks dig the scars.
