not bad at all, Poppet ;-)
and how are you?
is it true what i hear about /OT?

*shudders*
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sun 30 Aug 2009, 8:04, Reply)

is what true?
I've been off working and studying - haven't heard anything.
And I'm allright I guess. Just got a lot of shit happening all at once.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 30 Aug 2009, 8:06, Reply)

apparently /OT is disappearing?
or something.
may all be a crock of shite.
anyway, it's business as usual as far as i'm concerned.

so, you be busy? i call it "shite-wrangling" when too much shite is happening at once. like just at the moment.

want a laugh?
i'm 40 in 2 days...
never thought i'd get passed 25 to be honest...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sun 30 Aug 2009, 8:13, Reply)

Ooo steady on copper! 40? bollocks to that.
Somehow I don't know how I'll reach 25 at this rate.

i can still remember my 25th, had a mental party. and i mean proper mental. back in the day when drugs were still good...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sun 30 Aug 2009, 8:20, Reply)

I say that a bit.
I don't really go to parties that much. I'm a bit socially awkward. I never know what to do at parties or who to talk to.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 30 Aug 2009, 8:25, Reply)

Same here
The phrase "I never know what to do at parties" reminds me of when I was 16. I soon sussed it out, but my shyness still persists to the present day (albeit in somewhat reduced form).

My year so far was punctuated by a February, a June, an August. In three heartbeats it flew by that quickly. Don't reheat the food. It's nicer cold!

I'll be walking to the shop, and round the outdoor stages in search of moar booze.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 30 Aug 2009, 9:08, Reply)

Perhaps they should place all the drinks you're getting in a path on the ground that you'd have to follow. That would get you walking. For me, it's the pub at the end of the trip, and sometimes, we stop at a pub or two for lunch as well.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sun 30 Aug 2009, 9:15, Reply)

drinking alcohol on a sunday?
why, that's unspeakable!

Morning gays
I'm off to a barbecue this afternoon and the weather is looking just fine!

Hurrah.

Also, this talk of OT vanishing is put about by people from /talk because they don't like us.

Ooh and enjoy your barbecue. I do hope my mum doesn't try to make us eat sunday roast in the garden though. It's just not right.

had a feeling it was only a rumour...
but even so, it made me feel all defiant and principled.
i need to take things less seriously on a sunday morning.
and how's tricks in the bin household?
bbq? sounds good. we've got a continental food market on this weekend, will be visiting later, for sausages and beer and so-on.

All is good here
We had an old friend staying last night, he is now off to a wedding. Later we are off to the barbecue being hosted by some new friends.

What a sociable weekend!

I suspect the rumours of OT's demise is due to the dearth of posts yesterday.

Not because I am awesomeness at fishing, but because I sponsor most of the events, so our club leader gave me a trophy with my name on it. Yay!

No, it was the annual banger and caravan race at the stock car club. Best one I've been to so far, made extra specially good by the fact that I was there with my mum and a load of people who'd never been before and they loved it too.
