Morning PoD
It is a beautiful morning here, but I have no idea what we are going to do today.

Morning Mrs Bin
I have a fun day ahead of me, involving doing some work, and making some food. Many funs shall be had.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 9:52, Reply)

I'm trying to work out what the best way
to the bash tonight is.

I either:

Drive to the train station, get the train (and tube) to the London bash, and vice versa (and can't really drink as I have to drive home from the station anyway).

Or

Drive to London, don't drink, and drive back.
(Ethelred is watching cheese grow, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 10:28, Reply)

If you have to drive anyway
I would probably just drive in all the way. Saves stupid trains.

Not that I've ever driven in London.

Good mornig
It's a bright sunshiney day here in London. In the afternoon, I'll go for a walk, and in the evening, it's the b3tabash.

Now that I'm employed again, I can once again use the weekend as a chance to wind down.

Sunshine?
It's pissing down here. Which is not so bad as we have a day of household chores to look forward to.

I have a choice...
Remotely configure a call centre package

or configure a phone system

It's lovely here too (sorry DG)
I may go wash my car.

Also I am very happy I can now fit into some jeans I bought ages ago without trying on that were about 2 inches too small *does a little dance*

@DG: Pity about the weather, but it's an excuse to get the chores out the way.

@TGB: Congrats. I've got a few trousers I can't fit into, but whenever I go backpacking, I defiantly take them in the hope I'll lose enough weight to fit into them.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 11:44, Reply)

I have that annoying
"breaking in new jeans" phase though. I hate that :(

Backpacking is probably a good way to shed a few excess pounds!

Harro!
How's it going? I finally got broadband for my flat woohoo! Although I'm in work at the moment which is distinctly un-woohoo.

Morning HCFB
But just think, you get to play with it when you get home later.

And I've just finished my first piece of work for the day. Yay!
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 12:18, Reply)

Work?
On a Saturday?

I cleaned the kitchen does that count?
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 12:29, Reply)

I have many works to do today
But none of them are too hard, just tedious.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 12:31, Reply)

PoD
Yeah I can't wait to get home and...bugger about on b3ta. Work = b3ta, home = b3ta. Partyyyyyy.

How's the uni going?

TGB....nope. :)
(Holy Cremola Foam Batman will be back on, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 12:50, Reply)

I'm heading off on my walk
See you at the pub bashgoers!
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 12:54, Reply)

Uni is going busily
With an added side order of busyness. On the good side, I'm doing well with everything so far, which is nice.

I still find the odd moment for b3ta too. But not much time for socialising.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 12:54, Reply)

Socialising
Is over-rated. Internet friends ftw :p
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 13:01, Reply)

Internet friends
Seem to be featuring more in my life these days, rather worryingly.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 13:02, Reply)

I don't spend half as much time online
as my housemate though so I don't feel bad :p

He is my geek-o-meter :p
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 13:08, Reply)

Yeah internet friends rock
All my real ones (I do have some) are a bit shit anyway!

PoD Good stuff, you're still enjoying it then? How's life back in Glasgow?

There's a really annoying busker outside the shop that's been singing Bowie songs for the past hour and half. It's making my head hurt.
(Holy Cremola Foam Batman will be back on, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 13:22, Reply)

Throw things at him
Oxford is always full of buskers, which is probably why I don't miss living there :p
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 13:30, Reply)

bloody hell
it's cold and wet outside.

It's like GLasgow weather (yes I said this yesterday as well). Went for some food so now I'm sorted for the second half of the Celtic game. Bit shit so far.

How be everyone today?
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 13:33, Reply)

Life in Glasgow
Is mostly wet with occasional dry spells. It involves many works and spending much times in my flat, in uni, or eating.

Apart from that, it's good. Good to catch up with friends I hadn't seen all summer.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 13:42, Reply)

Noon all
It's wet and windy here :(

(Note that I said IT'S wet and windy, not I'M wet and windy)

I have decided to stay in bed until this evening, when I shall make soup, light the fire and have an evening in front of the telly.
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 14:40, Reply)

hey warmfuzzy
How you doing? Feeling better?

Watch the X-Factor. It's the bomb. And yes I just said "the bomb".

PoD Ahhh that sounds like the Glasgow I know and love, can't wait to get back to it!

Flesh I'm good ta, you? How's the Celtic game? I hope they lose :D
(Holy Cremola Foam Batman will be back on, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 14:47, Reply)

Hello Batman
Glad your internet arrived :) I was starting to feel a bit shouty on your behalf.

Things are still a bit poo with me, but as it is the weekend I have decided that escapism is allowed, and I shall resume feeling poo on monday.

EDIT: Oh yes, and I do plan to watch the X Factor :)
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 15:02, Reply)

I made a very polite chap
cry on the phone last night. I do not feel good about that in anyway (possibly a little)

Awww that sucks you're still feeling crap though *hugs*

By escapism do you mean b3ta and reality tv? Because that's the cure for everything don't you know :)
(Holy Cremola Foam Batman will be back on, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 15:05, Reply)

Possibly the worst
Celtic game I've seen all season (total Celtic games seen thi season: 1).

Struggled at times, but came away with 3 points.
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 15:13, Reply)

Hey Fuzzy :)
Yay for more X-Factor addicts!

I'm debating if I can be bothered to go to Tescos. My housemate wants to go to the one in Cov for some reason even though there is one about 4 times nearer in Warwick. Strange chap that he is.
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 15:15, Reply)

Oh dear Batman :(
You could always send him some flowers?

Yes, escapism consists of b3ta, reality tv (and some unreality tv too, I actually really enjoy ITV saturday night tv, like You've Been Framed and Family Fortunes)... ooh and I've just seen that Time Team is on too... oh but it clashes :(
and playing lots of mindless games like Staries and Boggle.

I might get drunk. I would resort to drugs too if I hadn't given them up.

EDIT: hello TGB and flesh! *waves*
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 15:17, Reply)

I didn't get his name
and they courier guys he works for are useless. His manager refused to speak to me which is just shit.

Don't do drugs, drugs are bad. Mmmmkay?

So who's your favourite for x-factor then?
(Holy Cremola Foam Batman will be back on, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 15:35, Reply)

my brother
went for an X-Factor audition in Glasgow this year.


didn't get in the door....
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 15:42, Reply)

motherfucking cunts
broke into my crappy wee car and stole the front (only the front, mind) of my CD player but I'm more pissed off at having to hunt down a new quarter light and even more pissed off at having to wait hours for the cops to fingerprint the CDs they left behind. Yes, thieves left my CDs. Again. They hate my taste in music.

So I don't have a favourite thing about the weekend.
Someday I'm going to come on this goddamn motherfucking website and not be angry. Maybe.

You have any scrappies near you for a new quarterlight?
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 16:00, Reply)

Aye
there's one near my boyfriend's house and it's open on Sundays so I'll try there first. My mate in Norn Iron has the exact window I need but we reckoned it'd be cheaper to buy one from a yard than to courier it across the Irish Sea.

Well I've done naff all today.

I ate out from both breakfast and lunch because I'm a big tart. Now I'm avoiding cleaning by talking to you guys!

was interesting. As in most of the people crashed and burned in spectacular fashion.
