More good news!
I just talked with my boss and he's ok with me taking 3 months off at the end of November. Yay!

I'm so happy that another drop of happines could make me burst in a explosion of rainbows! And I'm going home in 10min.

I don't know, do you need a question? Can't you just be happy without it? Well, in that case, which one is your favourite colour? would you wear a suit on that colour? When?

I own a purple suit.
And have worn it at a funeral before.

Too bad it shrunk at the dry cleaner's. I really like that suit.

My colour is red. I have a very red suit, but I only wear the trousers, never the jacket, as it's too red all together.

My favourite colour is 'nigger brown'.
I cannot believe people in this country referred to this without turning a hair right into the 1960s 2007*. No I would not wear a suit in 'nigger brown'. Ever.

I went to schoolt, with a pasty white lad who nickname was Nigger or sometimes Nigger Bacon.
His name was Mark Payne - Dark Payne - Darkie Payne - Darkie Pagan - Darkie Bacon - Nigger Bacon.

The Darkie and Nigger bits were interchangeable. Darkie Pavement may well have been my favourite bastardisation.

Crayola used to have a crayon called Indian Red for years. It was renamed Chestnut in 1999 in response to people being spastics and thinking it was racist.

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 19 Jul 2010, 16:36, Reply)

it was pretty racist.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Jul 2010, 16:37, Reply)

No it wasn't. It was in reference to a pigment from India that matched the colour.

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 19 Jul 2010, 16:39, Reply)

It's still suspiciously like Red Indian,
which is offensive.

Raccoons should be renamed, by the same token.

Ditto purple
I'm not sure I could pull off a suit in that colour though. I did have a nice black suit with a purple pinstripe but sadly it's two sizes too big for me now. Ah well.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 19 Jul 2010, 16:32, Reply)

2 months is a lot less than what I wanted
but it's a good compromise, and I get to spend 1 month in Tenerife before hand which is not bad.

Last time we talked about it we said we wanted to do the west coast of South America: Quito, Galápagos, Perú, Chile, Easter Island, Tierra del Fuego, (a trip to the Antartic if we have time) and then probably fly back from Buenos Aires; but we're not sure if we'll have enough time and money.

You could always

No, because Mark can only have 2 months off
So yes, I could do that, but then I'd have 2 weeks of honeymoon on my own.

I used to have an dark olive green suit that looked ok.
Unfortunately the fabric didn't dry properly if it got wet and it looked all patchy meaning I had to get it cleaned anytime I got caught in the rain. I probably paid out more in cleaning the suit than in buying it.
