I'm going to have fun with this QOTW.
I think I'll be here till next Thursday; my parents are gold for this...

O hai!

O haai!!!
That's Dutch for 'shark'.

And German, if my memory serves me correctly.

( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:05, Reply)

And whatsmore,
You could use the 'O' as a hoop to watch the Dutch and German sharks jump through.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:08, Reply)

What would German sharks sound like?
Or Dutch ones for that matter. I shall muse on this.
( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:19, Reply)

Not sure what they'd sound like
but I suspect the Dutch sharks would sound more laid back.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
I've a sneaking suspicion it's something do to with a foreign country

Working my arse off for a company whose trains all like to get stranded in one place
for several hours at a time. And then dealing with the hordes of infuriated customers who have been told that since it is not our fault, there will be no compensation.
( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:25, Reply)

Perhaps you could try herding the trains away from that place
and herd the customers away from the complaints department.

I could probably help with the former by hacking into the system that controls the points.

Go, trains. Leave this place.
Go, customers. These are not the droids you are looking for.
( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:29, Reply)

If I could re-direct the Eurostar trains
I'd send them down the London Underground. It takes twice as long to get from St. Pancras to my flat than it does from St Pancras to the tunnel-mouth.

Now that would be awesome.
It takes me half an hour to get from work to London, although I do have to ride in the buffet car...
( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:38, Reply)

Now, if only the Central line would have a buffet car
and a toilet for that matter.

Aren't they just?
If I never see another cab receipt with the meter in the hundreds it'll be far too soon...

On that bombshell, I'm afraid I must commence Stage 1 of Operation: Clean The Flat In Preparation For Maternal Inspection In A Fortnight's Time. Bloody parents.
( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:44, Reply)

OK. Go go go!
A fortnight? A multi-stage operation? This is why I'm glad I live in a studio flat!

I'm going to have Operation: Spray paint the neighbors shite wrought iron patio furniture white with green polka dots

Yo Mallie
From what I've heard, this QOTW's just for you.

Personally, my cure for this sort of thing would be to go to Uni in a different country.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 19:54, Reply)

I did for some time,
sadly, I had to a) tell them where I was going and b) return to the UK.
( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 19:55, Reply)

I did my full course in the UK while my parents were abroad
Sadly, a spell of unemployment meant I had to go back to my parents post Uni.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:02, Reply)

I was so very lucky to get this job.
Living with the parents again would have sent me a bit mental.
( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:05, Reply)

Took me a while to get my first job
But fortunately, my parents are ace.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:09, Reply)

Then your situation is the inverse of mine, good sir :)

( Maladicta, Thu 10 Sep 2009, 20:19, Reply)

I may have relied a bit too much on my parents
Instead of getting any old crap job and gaining life experience, I did my own thang and got into my chosen career. But now, I have a great job which I enjoy and have absolutely no regrets.
