Babysitting
I was babysitting last night, and by gosh am I tired now.
For my troubles I got a nice pasta tea and a bockle of wine. (Yes, responsible parenting right there - "Get drunk while in charge of my babies.")

So, is it sunny where you are? It's glorious here in the 'Pool.

It's totally lush outside
and I'm sat in my pokey office tapping away incessantly on my phone catching up with correspondence. Tonight I'm seeing my bestie and meeting her new fella which I'm nervous about, dunno why. When I was seventeen I used to babysit one kid whose mum liked to leave me a four-pack of Boddingtons to drink, and leave porn mags and her used vibrator out on her bed.

Did you take the hint from the mum?

If, by take the hint, you mean drink four cans of Boddingtons then wank myself dry over her porn while imagining herself ploughing her fanny with her shiny friend
then yes.

To complete the tableau. Did you stick the vibrator up your arse?

I wasn't wise in the ways of the prostate at that tender age
so no.

I bet you're not as nervous as he is!
As a teenage babysitter I used to love it when the kids went to bed and I could watch the 'German Channels' on their Sky TV. I saw Terence Trent D'Arby in soft porn and discovered a load of Russ Meyer films.
It was great when I grew up and finally watched them WITHOUT them being dubbed into German.

Man, he's screwing my best friend, he must be the most self-confident smug motherfucker in the world right now.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:04, Reply)

Haha
I take it she's quite the catch?
He'll still be nervous, meeting her best friend and all that.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:05, Reply)

Yeah, she's tops.
I'm sure we've met before through a mutual friend but it was a year or two ago and there was beer involved, so *shrug*

Office all day, I'm working on the controls for a new law court in Westminster at the moment.
This evening, if the sky is clear I'll be looking through my telescope.

(Halfy By light alone, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:01, Reply)

I hope it stays sunny for my visit
I cannot see one cloud in the sky.
I want to stay in bed and eat and watch old films.

interesting fact
the more educated the city, the better the weather it has.

Why it always rains in Manchester.... fleees!
(Halfy By light alone, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:09, Reply)

Haha
I'd like to join in the Manc-baiting, but despite their atrocious weather they're a pretty brainy city.
Like wot Liverpool is too ;)
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:11, Reply)

There was a prog about airports on the telly last night
Manchester and Liverpool were trying to out compete each other.

Renaming Speke as John Lennon, has given Liverpool the edge.

Nothing much else to report though.

Morning all.

I'm doign some work
then I have to go into that there London to meet a client and people from the council. Now, it's a meeting so I want to look smart, but after the meeting I have to get a load of soil samples, which is going to be muddy regardless of how hard I try to stay clean, so I'm wearing my old site trousers.

But I'm worried this will give a bad impression to the client. What do I do Roota, what do I do?
(Bazongaloid, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:25, Reply)

Don't wear any clothes.

I wish you were with me all the time to give me advice
my life would be so much simpler.

I am very good at sorting other people's lives out.
Just not my own.
( girlinthehole, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:29, Reply)

I'm not Roota
but I'd say wear a boiler suit over your suit. Wear wellies on the site, and have a pair of shoes to change into.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:28, Reply)

Oh I wouldn't wear a suit even if I was being smart
I was thinking of some slightly nicer jeans.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 8 Apr 2010, 8:29, Reply)

Well that's it then
Wear your slightly nicer jeans for the meeting, and take a scruffy pair in a bag for when you go digging for soil.

Look I appreciate what your trying to do here K2k6
but STOP TRYING TO LIVE MY LIFE. I'M A GROWN UP NOW AND I CAN STAY OUT LATE ON A TUESDAY IF I WANT TO.

If only I had so much common sense
in real life.

Wear a nice floral tunic

Children liked me for some reason I can't fathom.

There was no such thing as peodophilia when I was a teenager.
