Well I've had an interesting few days
Friday night - getting happy-slapped and somehow breaking the speed limit on the M40 by 100mph (allegedly, officer)
Saturday night - awesomeness. Had a fantastic meal cooked by himjim, and lots of drunkeness with TGB, LabMaj and Kaol. Started walking back in a Warwicky direction and then don't remember anything until I woke up on Sunday morning with my bathroom liberally coated in vom. Lovely.
Sunday - While nursing hangover, giving people off-road demos in a Range Rover on our 'extreme' off-road test track. Not so lovely. Impromptu and unexpected jaunt to Heathrow to rescue sister in need, meaning that I missed the Berkswell bash.
Today - a fairly normal day, although I'm now packing for tomorrow's adventure to Sweden.

I do have one memory of the walk back. I was near Tesco in Warwick and I remember falling over comedy-style. I didn't trip or anything - I just sort of keeled over sideways and slumped onto the pavement.

I had a fantastic evening. I'm a master of appearing to be relatively sober when I'm absolutely leathered - I had many years of practice with my parents.
Kaol can take the prize for being the first person to corrupt me with cigarettes, and I honestly can't remember the last time I went on a night out when there's so many gaps in my memory. Maybe himjim's special ingredient was Rohypnol? :)
EDIT: I think Lab was just upset at being the grandad in the group...

Coffee certainly isn't an everyday drink, but my stance is PROPER coffee. The regular stuff in this country (at least) is lame. I'd rather drink tea. But if I'm in France or the Netherlands? Coffee, coffee, coffee!

Not just India. Most of the best blends (Earl Grey, Assam and English Breakfast, my favourite) were developed by Brits.

Let me guess... The lower wishbone bushes? They almost seem to be a consumable on a Fiesta.
Mind, you can buy an entire replacement lower wishbone (including bush) for 20 quid from Partco. It's not that difficult to fit either.

Rooibosch
is my beverage of choice.
I have succumbed to the the vicious caffeine circle and have a cup of Earl Grey every morning to wake me up. And recently I found Earl Grey rooibosch! Yum!
Tonight however... I have just thoroughly enjoyed a cup of proper cocoa. As I have been vegan for a few months I have been missing milk, soya milk just isn't the same :(
The other day I made two cups of coffee with soya milk which both curdled, and I cursed and shouted "oh, for a decent hot beverage!"
The next day I came home to find a food parcel on my doorstep with a litre, a whole litre! of semi skimmed! And a note from my neighbours explaining that they were away for a week and didn't want it to go to waste.
As it was a gift and would have simply been wasted if I didn't use it, I have been enjoying every single brew I have made without guilt.
The universe listens to our prayers!

it's weird to have a phobia about something living inside you.
I've never felt remotely broody until I met my last fella. It's some strange biological thing I have no control over. Obviously my body thinks our children would be genetically superior. But even while I was feeling broody I still had that squeamish feeling about it.

I have a friend
who has the same feeling about his subconscious.
He's freaked out by the idea that there is a whole person inside you who reacts to things, like when someone throws something at you unexpectedly and you catch it before your conscious mind knows what's going on, or when your hand pulls away from something hot. He says it's like sharing your body with a secret person who has a compulsive disorder.

My favourite euphemism
comes from Family Guy
"Why do I get the feeling that at the end of the day I'm going to be burying my dog?"
"Woah, I said you could touch my boob, let's start with that!"

Evening all
I'm wading through red tape and bureaucracy, which is always fun. Or not, depending on your take on things.
Today marks days one of having to do lots of work. And it would appear, the day of my right shift key stopping working. Took four attempts to get that first capital 't'. Stupid thing.
Are we all well?

I are be mostly fannying about not doing much.
I might read for a while or maybe just sit on b3ta, waiting until it's a reasonable hour to go to bed.

I love him.

I've just been watching....
...."The Masked Magician"? He's back with a new series. Want to know how David Copperfield walked through the Great Wall of China or did the Buzz Saw death trick? It's all here.
Bloody interesting!

oooh I've not seen that one. I can recommend All About My Mother, it's a bit more tender than some of the others.
I think my favourite of his is Talk to Her. It's lovely.
I'm not too down, I'm just a bit fed up with the job(less) situation at the moment although I am taking steps to rectify it!

I am two
and I can't believe it's gone past so quickly....
Humpty is my b3ta dad and I know I've at least one b3ta offspring.
Erm...maybe I should qualify that...
Humpty introduced me to b3ta therefore he is my b3ta dad.
To my knowledge at least one person joined b3ta because of some stuff I'd put onto Stumbleupon - therefore I'm their b3ta mum.

I must admit,
it did need clarifying, I was confused.
Don't think I have any b3ta parents or children, but I would like to think I have b3ta friends. (I know I have a b3ta colleague, but he doesn't post much).
And it does go past quickly. I had no idea it was a year already.

One of your questions has been answered.
In other news, I am getting a complex. When people put "WFF" I read it as WTF and then realise it's me. So I am starting to think of myself as WTF. Which is giving me a bit of existential doubt and confusion. I kinda like it though.

@ flesh - I agree
Although mostly because I would just feel wrong full stop.
I have a friend who makes her brother a cake for Christmas every year. She takes pride in her meticulously decorated themes. And every year they get more sick and twisted. Santa's Sleigh Tragedy was one of her early ones... white icing liberally splashed with red, broken bits of reindeer sticking out of snow drifts, Santa himself lying in a twisten heap in a pool of blood. I'm surprised she's not on b3ta actually.

Just had a bit of a panic
Was looking at the website of the company I was going to start work with next week. When I had a look at the address, it told me the actual address was somewhere in Buckinghamshire, and not in London. I then realised I had typed in 'ww' instead of 'www', and then, I got the expected address in London. Odd that.

Going by what I've heard before of you I'd've expected 'em up an octave!
Sounded as good as a song about retards can do.
The vocal timings are a nightmare, as the lines appeared as and when I could make 'em up.

But for some reason decided to ruin my throat by singing it really low. Stupid.
And yes, your lines did suggest a song that had just been made up rather quickly.
There was going to be some synth too, but I couldn't be bothered getting it out, and the timing would have been horrible to try and get right again.
