I'm feeling weird coz of the antibiotics I'm on... and possibly the fact that I mixed them slightly with alcohol last night and I shouldn't have done.

I drank too much at my work Christmas party last night. I don't think I did anything too stupid though but to be honest I don't remember a great deal after the meal...
I also sent two or three drunken texts to the girl I'm (hopefully still) going on a date with later today.
And finally, for some reason when I woke up this morning there were two pound coins in my glass of water. I wish I could remember why I put them in there.

How do you work out the birthday of a reptile? Is it when it hatched from the egg, when the egg was laid, or when the egg was 'conceived'?

( , Sun 14 Dec 2008, 17:38, Reply)

You could compare the egg-shell of a reptile to the amniotic sac that a human baby is contained in.
So, by that logic, the "birthday" would be when it hatched out.
P.S. Not all reptiles lay eggs, there are a few that give birth to live young.

Nice one! I suspect the taxi-driver was just trying to join in the fun and didn't have a lisp himself. Oh well, glad you enjoyed yourselves. It appears that Leeds is now a more happenin' place for b3tabashes than Lahndan.
( , Sun 14 Dec 2008, 17:45, Reply)

This stems from a discussion we were having at work. In Humans, the birthday is usually the day of vaginal ejection, but were wondering if in fact it should be the date of conception. I then posted a reply saying thank god our resident birthday-boy wasn't a reptile, or the discussion would be even more complex.
Now creatures with cybernetic implants and robots with biological parts ... then things really get complex!

Is just a robot.
If you were to have horrific heart-failure, and get a pace-maker implant, you'd still celebrate your birthday?
I assume you would anyway, as opposed to celebrating the day that the factory screwed the battery into your implant...

What a top weekend. We were in Leeds on Friday to see the Levellers. Tourette's managed to make the band's weekend by chucking her bra at them - according to ancrenne it's now nestled snugly in their drum kit. Met BK and Tulip on Saturday afternoon, and today I've been out to hunt a Christmas tree. Somewhat successfully, I may say.
And best of all - only four days left at work before I have a whole fortnight and a bit off.

And tell them that was a fucking awesome gig on Friday - possibly the best I've seen them for a while. Not that they've ever been crap, but the last couple of times were tainted by the fact that we were late and so only saw part of the set, which left me a bit grumpy.

Do the wrists just ache, or is it more permanent? If so, that's not a good sign.
@ancrenne: If it's 'that' anniversary, I suggest you spend the day indulging yourself. Drink as much as you like, smoke as much as you like, and add whatever else to the mix. Make it a day to enjoy. But apart from that, you've built up a very strong personality over the years. I'm sure it can carry you through these hard times. People will let you down - it's an unfortunate fact of life, but you've shown you can be resourceful and self-sufficient when it comes down to it. Just persevere and keep strong.
