Morning all!
I have to say I’m feeling rather self-satisfied this morning after having a gargantuan Facebook friend-erase-marathon last night.

Are you currently basking in the glory of anything that you did last night?

I got hammered,
with my friend, she's now sorted out the drama, I'm a saviour.

Oh and I gave my number to a girl,
but she hasn't contacted me yet so it's not necessary a good thing.

Cooooool
Well done saviour!

I feel like shit and smell like beer this morning.
but smug self satisfaction radiates from me.

Now I'm going to spend the day meddling with another friend over email.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:00, Reply)

Ahhh meddling
its fun!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:10, Reply)

Yes.
I drank a lot of beer last night and have still made it into work early. Haven't done any work so far, but it seemed like a good start.
(LongJohnBaldry, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 9:54, Reply)

I'm exactly in the same boat
up at 7, out of the house at 20 past 8 and haven't done a drop of work yet.

Hmm.

Well, I layed in bed reading Literotica for half and hour
and worked myself into an orgasmic frenzy, then did a bit of basking.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 9:59, Reply)

I went to the cinema
And ate chilli with friends.
All in all, not a bad night.
( Cawl, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 9:56, Reply)

What did you see?

(PsychoChomp, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 9:57, Reply)

That new Bruce Willis vehicle,
Surrogates.
It was fairly average 90's style sci-fi.
Some action, some detective work, set in the future.
( Cawl, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 9:59, Reply)

Yeah I saw it,
I wouldn't turn it off if it was on TV but not exactly a must see.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 9:59, Reply)

Exactly.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything good.
Going to see this next week:

not to worry, we've changed it since then anyway.

Bums
I sort of liked the idea of Surrogates, I'm not sure I'll bother watching it at the cinema now... maybe I'll wait until its on Sky!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:14, Reply)

I swam 42 lengths
which is a reasonable amount
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:00, Reply)

A kilometre.
Not bad. I used to get a real heady buzz from swimming.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:02, Reply)

I do if I push myself too hard
every 6th length or so I try and swim the length of the pool underwater. can manage about 3/4 at the moment.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:04, Reply)

can you
eat a croissant underwater?

Last nigh i firmly re-attached the kitchen radiator to the wall, after 'someone' stood on it to get something from the pulley. Seeing as i had the drill out, with a big manly drill bit in, i decided to drill a gloryhole, no sorry, that was last week. I drilled a hole from my bedroom through to the hall and threaded the broadband cable through it so the router and the modem can now live in the hall under a table and free up space FOR MORE STUFF in the bedroom.
(Cancer Joy was short lived, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:09, Reply)

I haven't tried, but I imagine it would be difficult
and not particularly pleasant


standing on a radiator is pretty daft
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:13, Reply)

It was really noticeable
for about two hours after a good hour's swim. Like a couple of tugs on a sweet boombattie.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:11, Reply)

I can do about the same underwater
Never quite managed a full length. Usually do 40 lengths when I go for a swim and it wakes me up quite well.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:17, Reply)

it was quite an easy 40 lengths yesterday
I've definitely noticed the difference in my paddling ability when surfing since I started swimming regularly, which is the whole aim!
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:24, Reply)

If I go regularly
it's a piece of piss. If however, as at the moment, I've only been going swimming maybe once a week, it's hard work!

I enjoy swimming once I'm in the pool but my problem is that I can't be arsed going!
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:29, Reply)

it seems like I've got so much on that I generally don't get in the pool more than once a week
should go more really, need to shift the last of my stomach somehow
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 10:30, Reply)

I watched the police raid a flat with guns last night
They tasered some guy and brought him out in plasticuffs, very exciting.

I'm smug becasue I wasn't arrested for firearms offences last night

Sort of... its sort of that... spliced with scenes of brief nudity from scary old birds showing the cameras their arses while the police race around arresting people who act all tough until they have handcuffs on them and then cry and shout 'police brutality' and 'he's 'urting me'.

Last night I just got drunk and ate and watched bands and had a nicetetimeyez.
But this morning I am basking in the glory of the fact that I have spotted Flim-Flam's subliminal insertion of the word 'smug' into her QOTW post:
"Sorting out my computer one afternoon I asked Chris where hiS MUG was"

Did you spot it, kids???

What was in the omelette?
I bloody HAVE to make one tonight now...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 11:07, Reply)

Spanish Omelette
Ingredients: One baking potato, one white onion, 3 large free range eggs. Some chorizo. One large tomato. Juice of half a lime.

Instructions: Shallow fry thinly sliced potato in olive oil for a few minutes on a medium heat, then add chopped onion (pieces shouldn't be too small). When both go slightly brown drain away excess oil and add beaten eggs. Cook omelette on one side until golden brown. Slide onto a plate, place frying pan upside down over omelette, press plate and pan together and turn upside down. Season cooked side with pepper and paprika. When other side is golden brown serve on plate. Fry thin slices of chorizo in no oil for a minute either side. Place chorizo and chopped tomato on top of omelette with juice of half the lime.

ALL. OF. TEH. WIN. is yours.
( djtrialprice, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 11:29, Reply)

Mmmm
Pretty much how I do it, but I put the chorizo INTO the omelette.
And NEVER tried the lime juice. Is that why, whilst I like my tortillas, they never taste like Spain?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 11:33, Reply)

Also
frying pan under the grill to finish it off instead of all that messy flippy business.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 11:37, Reply)

that is how the Spanish would do it
but really, it's not particularly hard and it's so much less hassle to turn it.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 1 Oct 2009, 11:43, Reply)

I'm not claiming this to be authentically Spanish
I use lime juice as there's a strong olive oil flavour throughout and the acidity of the citrus cuts through that and gives a bit of balance.

I've been watching too much Masterchef.
