I'm back to work with a bump this morning.
One of the drivers punched another driver while holding his keys on Saturday night, breaking his nose and cutting his face. The guy's still working here. Incredible.

I'm starting work on a business plan for my new window-cleaning business today with renewed enthusiasm because this place is a fucking hole. Anyone who's got any tips for writing a plan or starting a small business is welcome to share. Either that or insult my mum.

Your mum is so fat the rolls on the back of her neck are like sausages, pass me the fucking ketchup and buns!!
Hi there m'dear.

Why don't you get some supplies and propaganda together before you start anything?

Money.
I'm putting the business plan together to convince someone to lend me a little cash so I can fund the start-up.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 8:45, Reply)

ahhh right, yeah that part ;) my apologies.
I dunno - talk about how you plan to conduct your business, what you aim to achieve with it, that sorta thing?
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 4 Jan 2010, 8:46, Reply)

That's pretty much the crux, yeah.

You idle layabout.

Hi!
Can't stop. Far too much work to do this morning.


Waaaaaaaaa!

Work.
The nemesis of b3ta. Hope you had a good 'un.

Dogwalking in the heavy frost
and then work, if I'm called in.
(Juan Quar is clinging to her front teeth on, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:07, Reply)

I'm pissed off
not only am I back at work, but my data has failed to be delivered. This is now almost 2 months late. Not too much of an issue quite yet, but it will rapidly become one if I don't get it today or tomorrow.

The guy has effectively ruined what was an already dwindling friendship frankly. If someone does you a favour and puts some work your way then you do your best to do it well and do it on time right?

Apparently not.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:09, Reply)

This why one should avoid lending money to friends if at allpossible

too much potential to be let down.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:17, Reply)

Is he making you a Data?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:31, Reply)

he's providing me with a topographic survey of a river
apparently he sent me the data before christmas, but I only received one email of it...
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:35, Reply)

He's blagging and stalling

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:41, Reply)

I'm not so sure

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:44, Reply)

Not so sure what?
You mean you think there might be a reasonalble explanation after all? There might, but he needs to tell you.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:45, Reply)

that's been the problem
lack of communication. he should have checked to see that I got the stuff he sent.

I know why it was late if it was ready a bit before christmas, and I was angry because there was no excuse for it not to be ready now. But I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. for now.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:48, Reply)

Well, keep an eye on him
He might be slippery.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:51, Reply)

That's because he's been playing around in rivers
LOL

My New Years resolution is to spend less time on B3ta whilst at work...

bugger
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:16, Reply)

I have that resolution now and again
but if I don't have enough work to do then it's this or twiddling my thumbs
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:17, Reply)

Back at work
and freezing my nadgers off. It's nice to see b3ta again after too long a gap over the (lack of) festivities.

Otherwise. Happy new year everybody.

Morning you lot!
I'm back in the pub tonight and back in the proper job tonight.
In a moment I'm going to make bacon and egg and toast.
I may even give a rasher to the cat, as he's wailing in the direction of the bacon.
Noel, you really don't want my business advice. I can help with patron saints though.

EDIT: Lu, have you tried a bowl of steaming water witha tiny bit of Vicks melted in there? Nana swears by it.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:43, Reply)

Not the cat
Fax me the bacon instead.

*meews pathetically*
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:45, Reply)

You can have one rasher each
And some toast as well.

Then it's back to the Tesco pouches for both of you.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 9:46, Reply)

Can I have
Double sausage, fried slice, 2 eggs, shrooms, black pud and beans as well please?

Oh. and wholemeal toast too.

Cheers Luv.

Yeah. Oh look, I'm twirling a baton and singing Give My Regards to Broadway as well!
Pissoff!

Multi task woman.
This is getting dangerously "on topic".
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:24, Reply)

I can multi-task,
But I am NOT going to the shop for all the stuff I haven't got.
And pork, round here? Are you kidding? I'd have to go to Tesco for that.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:27, Reply)

OK,
How about some kedgeree instead?

Yes, much better than hairy bikers
Less gay certainly
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:50, Reply)

Oh I think much more gay
And I like those blokes too, but in a different way.
Those ladies make me weep with laughter. Every little comment and interaction is hilarious.
Random example: "I had a LOT of access to pheasant when I was growing up!"

but it is.

I know!!

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:59, Reply)

I was given a chunk of Hereford Hop Cheese for crimble
It was super, especially on toast.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:09, Reply)

Oh Bartleby
Please, just when I thought my cheesesupplies were depleting, my mother went and gave me a block of Wensleydale and Cranberry and the landlady gave me a jar of cranberry relish.
I can't take any more.
Pie d'Angloys though, nom.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:12, Reply)

OK, no more cheese references
but that Dorset Blue was fine too.

Greetings mongoloids
All is well in Montyland. I am utterly healthful having taken it super-easy throughout the 'party season'.

NYE was spent babysitting my little'un so I saw in the New Year alone save the company of boogie-woogie arsewipe Jools Holland.

Currently fucking about with the VAT change, seeing as you asked. Cheers Gordon you cock-end.

morning old man
was it you who pointed me towards the band Bigelf?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:44, Reply)

Hello there young sir.
That was indeed me - have you got into them, then?

Today I have taken delivery of a test pressing of Twink's 1969 classic 'Think Pink' LP. He was drummer for two of my all time favourite bands, the Pretty Things and Pink Fairies.

I am practically pissing my pants.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:57, Reply)

I have
it's taken a while of having them come on occasionally on shuffle, but most of the album I got is rather good. a bit silly which helps.

exciting stuff!
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:12, Reply)

Bigelf played in Camden in a really small venue a month or so back
Typically, I found this out the next day.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:15, Reply)

I've got fingers crossed that they might play sonisphere
that'd be sweet. they are rather pink floydy, with some heaviness and silliness.

perfect music in fact. their song Counting Sheep is brilliant
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:18, Reply)

My brother is going to that
You'll get to see the Raw Power era lineup Stooges, you lucky bugger.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:26, Reply)

and Iron Maiden (again)
and Rammstein, and the Cult, I'm excited.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:29, Reply)

The Cult were the first big bang (BAND) I ever went to see
I was 14. My mate's mum waited in the car park at Hammersmith whilst we were in there.

ROCK AND FUCKING ROLL.

My brother swears Rammstein are the best band he's ever seen live and he has seen EVERYONE. He is also a bit menkle and his opinions on music can be slightly suspect, mind you....
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:32, Reply)

Rammstein have a lot of pyrotechnics
I was on incredibly strong mushrooms last time I saw them. it was amazing

Hiya Mont
I'm in me dressing gown. It's a lovely day.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:46, Reply)

Happy New Year to you, dear lady.
Dressing gowns rule. I need a hooded one.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 10:59, Reply)

I had one but threw it out because Tracey Barlow had the same one.
Now I have a really expensive John Lewis robe that I stole from my mum, and a couple of comfy fleecy ones.
This new one has a wide fluffy white collar and a grey cable-pattern body. When it's fastened my mum said I look like the cat. (He's tabby with a white bib.)

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Mon 4 Jan 2010, 11:02, Reply)

I have a black hooded one
makes me look like a nasty jedi. that is the sole reason for buying it

I want one for the cat
