Wipe that fucking grin off your face!
Today is my last day in this job then I have a week off to move to Dublin before starting another job. In four hours, I'll be down the boozer with the lads and lassies and many, many drinks!

Hurrah!

So... what are you grinning about?

I am grinning because I am happy for you...
...and you are off on the lash.

Before you go be sure to tell all the locals that they are a shower of knackers and you won't miss them.

nah man,
they're decent folk. A bit cliquey but decent folk.

I still think it is best to burn all bridges...
...with a cheap and casual insult to their culture.

Call them all Langers

(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:42, Reply)

Langer is a Cork thing, I think.
Round here if you dont like someone you call them a 'gowl'.

It means ladyfrontbottom.
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:43, Reply)

I love that.
Ms Santiago is from Cork, she taught me the word langer. I also love the word Gowl. It's such a disgusting word for it, you can almost taste the VD.
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:52, Reply)

Yeah man,
and the relish with which it is said, it offers almost as much satisfaction as calling someone who deserves it, a cunt.
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:54, Reply)

Quite.
Where are you (before you scoot off to Dublin)?

Teach me more of your local dialect...
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:59, Reply)

Limerick
'gowl' is the only one I've picked up here tbh. They talk about the weather here A LOT because it rains pretty much constantly. Read 'Angela's Ashes' - I'm told it's a flawless capturing.

EDIT: rafter is pure Dub but I've explained that one before, I think. The insult of choice round my way is 'geebag' which is pure brilliant cos it's a bag of gee's and gee's = ladyfrontbottoms. So how anyone ever ended up with a bag of them yokes let alone being one is some mystery!

Which is why Phil McGeehan makes Dubs laugh.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 14:07, Reply)

There's an old Irish name, Ulick occasionally reappears
and there are tales told of one of them having the surname, McGee.

Congratulations on the move and new job!

Why are you frowny?
It's friday!

I am a bit glad it's friday though, I won't have to deal with stupid fucking people for two whole fucking days, won't that be fantastic

couple of joints in Exeter

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 14:00, Reply)

Cool...
I've been looking for other venues in Exeter to gig at. I've only ever played The Cavern and they aren't answering my calls...
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 14:09, Reply)

there are a few places worth trying
The Old Firehouse likes bands to play for a couple of hours on a friday night, they pay reasonably well though.

Audiences aren't great because people are mainly there because it's a pub rather than a music venue, but still worth pursuing.

We played in the Phoenix centre last saturday, but it's not easy to get a gig in there unless you know people. Fortunately we know several of the DJs from the radio station in the same building!

Other than that, Mama Stones is the only place. it's run by joss stone's mum, and is gay and expensive, and despite them talking a big game about supporting local bands we have yet to see much evidence of it

Are you sure you can afford buying a new house?

Cross your fingers for me,
I'm hoping to play there this year...
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:54, Reply)

Parents are paying for the New York trip.
and yes I can because I'm a key worker of sorts.

( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 14:03, Reply)

Wow
Sounds amazing. I'm not grinning yet because I am exceedingly busy. Mostly because I've spent most of Thursday and this morning pissing about on the internet when I should've been working.

Oh well, roll on 5.30pm!
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:46, Reply)

I haz the grins because tomorrow I'm off to a bash.

Not in Morpeth?
*facepalms again*

Who suggested that and for the love of god, WHY?!
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:53, Reply)

Morpeth's a perfectly lovely little town
The station's crap, granted.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:55, Reply)

Morpeth sounds to me
like a death metal band.
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:56, Reply)

The name derives from when it was a bustling market town.
The streets were always full of horses and carts carrying their wares to market, making it difficult to cross the roads safely. It became known as the Murder Path, hence, Morpeth.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 13:58, Reply)

Excellent
And again Murder Path would be a great name for a band, album.
( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Fri 26 Feb 2010, 14:01, Reply)

Nah, I'm sure it is...
It's just tainted with memories of an awful girl, an awful relationship and a truely awkward weekend staying with her folks (who hated me for no reason). I'm really good at meeting the inlaws and get on with everyone...
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Fri 26 Feb 2010, 14:01, Reply)

did you tell them how awful their daughter is?
that's probably why they hated you.

I'm in a lot of pain and it is exactly how it started last time I went into hospital and I think I might have to go in and OH WOE IS ME, I don't like this game anymore, it's not fun.

At least go the doc's...

Sometimes it just clears up.
If it's like this in the morning, I'll check myself in, I can't be seen by the docs today anyway, so if it comes to it, tomorow I'll go to the emergancy-GP and they'll reffer me into the hospital

I love the word chops!
Especially when used in that sort of context.

Cheeky Chops, Stinky Chops, Farty Chops... It's uses know no limits and makes anything sound better.

I don't even know what that is but suspect it to involve people mooning at lights.
In which case, I can look at their arses and off my rocks.

Roota sitting cross-legged in front of the TV stuffing handfuls of chips into her mouth whilst you and Kristine have sex over her head like inappropriate parents.

I think I can grin
I've managed to get through a morning's teaching without the by-products of last night's curry extravanganza turning the spectroscopy lab into an undergraduate gas chamber.

And I've just managed to get through a meeting without my supervisor noticing that, although progress is being made, I'm about 3 weeks behind schedule. It's going well so far.
