Double bollocks!
My fridge died yesterday, and before I could clear it out, it leaked and is dripping into my neighbours kitchen below. I'm chucking away loads of lovelly meats, and pre-cooked food, and now have to buy a new one. Not what I planned for Today.

What have you planned that is likely to go wrong this weekend?

Or, tell me about your fridge, it's contents, or what you like about it.

Oh, good morning and that.

Good morning sir.
Sorry to hear about the fridge. My fridge is pretty new and does the job.

I'm off for a long walk with the dogs shortly and had hoped it would be a lot sunnier.

This weekend
I'm in the middle of a get fit blast. Today, I have to cycle thirty miles (I've already done seventy in the last three days) swim about 500m and play a tennis match. Then I'm going out drinking.

I'm going to be dead tomorrow, but I have to do pretty much the entire thing again...

Edit: This is a last ditch attempt to lose enough stomach that I'm borderline attractive with my shirt off when I go to Cornwall next weekend.

Cornish poeple are pretty tolerant
But if you're worried, why go drinking?

Are you leaving a little deposit?

Sounds very useful.
I'm a lapsed blood donor, it just takes too long to get my syrupy blood out.

Permission to be smug: granted.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Sat 3 Jul 2010, 11:24, Reply)

I'm not allowed to donate blood. :(

Pourquoi?

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Sat 3 Jul 2010, 11:36, Reply)

I have very low blood pressure,
*and* australian blood donors aren't allowed to have tattoos younger then a year old, and since I got my first one done in march, it's going to be a while til I'm even allowed to go there to get my blood pressure checked. I've been three times and each time my blood pressure was too low.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 3 Jul 2010, 11:47, Reply)

If you had my blood pressure, you'd burst.
If you give blood at all, won't you faint?
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Sat 3 Jul 2010, 11:58, Reply)

yeah pretty much.
It's low enough that when I get blood tests I get really dizzy.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 3 Jul 2010, 12:05, Reply)

I'm quite lucky
in that I think I have the lowest possible blood pressure on the healthy scale. The main problem with me giving blood is my "teeny tiny delicate veins", even though they're clearly visible through the ghastly pallor of my skin.

What's your tattoo of?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sat 3 Jul 2010, 12:19, Reply)

aha yeah mine's just under the healthy scale for blood pressure.
always been like that though, not sure why.

It's a bittersweet flower. they're purple and are used to represent "truth". Truth is pretty much my strongest value. hence why I picked that particular flower.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 3 Jul 2010, 12:31, Reply)

Just googleimaged them, they're really pretty!
I'm waiting til I get my job to get my first tattoo, and I probably should give blood again before I do so (same in the UK- have to wait a year after tattoos and piercings (or maybe it's 6 months after piercings))

One thing I really love about them is that they're actually poisonous,
which struck me as somewhat ironic when you consider their meaning.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 3 Jul 2010, 12:46, Reply)

I've only donated blood once
and when I did, they didn't even give me a certificate or anything.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Sat 3 Jul 2010, 12:35, Reply)

I developed an (ir)rational fear of my fridge
I'm an odd one. I put things off too much, it seems :/

I'm coming back down to London tomorrow. It's pubgolf tonight. Not sure these things will work together.

Hope you are not driving tomorrow.

Condolences on the meats
This afternoon, I'm going to a party being thrown by a friend of mine with a house in the countryside with a forest and a lake round the back. He promises to light a bonfire which we can all dance around.

Not the dancing round a fire bit
but the host said we could skinnydip in the lake if we felt so inclined.

fridge penis
( broadsword, Sat 3 Jul 2010, 13:47, Reply)

My fridge
At the moment is boring. Usually its interesting.

Fridge #1
Yogurt, 0% Total Greek, Apple juice. A secondary home-made burger, I ate one this evening and I couldn't manage. Milk, semi-skimmed. Spring onions. Mushrooms. Shiitake mushrooms. 1/2 tin of Branston Baked Beans. A Swede that needs to be thrown away, from a pastie dish i was going to make last week. Old potatoes that have grown shoots.

Fridge #2

Wine, about 5 varieties of white. 2 varieties of Rose wine. More yoghurt. More apple juice. More Milk (I drink a pint a day). A chinese ready dish from sainsburys. Butter, Flora. Feta cheese, Canadian Mature Cheese. Parmesan cheese, Mozarella. A pineapple, criossants for tomorrow. More interesting and what I love : Home-cured Bacon, marinated in molasses, rosemary and curing salt, that I will be slicing tomorrow. Priceless :)

If you have never bothered to make your own bacon, (easy) then buy that stuff from the supermaket or what they sell you in chain butchers, you haven't lived. My bacon is a classic sell out here - as well as my 19 chickens that lay the best and freshest eggs you will get on the planet. i.e. laid today. And dont keep them in the fridge !
