Things you wish you'd have the guts to say...
Mr Man in the suit with the rucksack sitting at table 23 having half strength coffee, you're ten years older than me and I was sure that was a wedding ring I saw, its ok because I have a bf. But I just find you incredibly attractive, warm and you have a gorgeous smile. See you before you check out tomorrow. From, Waitress.

Anything you regret never saying?
Or too scared of saying?
Or just can't?

Half strength coffee?
He's gay.

For me it's not so much lack of words as lack of action. There's a few girls I had the opportunity to be with and didn't, which is pretty much my only regret.

There's so many opportunities where the timings never right or you make the wrong decision without realising.

I'd say something like
'better to regret doing something, than not doing it at all.'

But that would make me a massive hypocrite

A average looking guy had a nice chat with me, offered me his number, shook my hand and gave me a kiss on the cheek. It literally took my breath away, never met anyone with such confidence.

You should've complained harder!

when I worked for sainsbury's home delivery I could give up to £50. The best one was when a student rang up to complain her melon wasn't very fresh, so I refunded the cost to her credit card cos she wouldn't shut up.

You're always better ringing up,
because there's more incentive for the callcentre monkey to get rid of you. Sadly, arseholes get more money. If you're a bit angry you're more likely to get more money than if you ring up, state the facts and see what they're going to do.

I can't complain to save my life, I hate confrontation and am happy with a replacement product.

Don't forget that I was married once. And even though you realise after six months that it's a farce and a charade you stick with it for proprieties sake for as long as you believe it's respectable to do so.

there was ten years between my parent's marriage, and them having me. Despite the fact they had loads more after me, it was still quite horrible hearing that I was an accident, and that my mother had never wanted children.

Pippin 2 went missing and eventually turned up dragging her back legs.

She'd been hit by a car and has a fractured pelvis so she's currently glaing at me from a cage.

I've been very lucky with my two.
*fingers crossed*

Off to bed to read now.

Don't be a stranger : )

Oh, but the night is young
I'm re-reading "Dog Soldiers" by Robert Stone at the moment and I'm avoiding bed as it gives me nightmares.
(I helped save b3ta! The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:33, Reply)
same as the film dog soldiers?
I take it it's good if you're ree-reading it?
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:35, Reply)
Not at all
I watched the film assuming it was based on the book but it's not.

I don't like recommending literature because we all have different tastes but if you like a thought provoking read Robert Stone is yer man.

The film "Leaving Las Vegas" was very loosely based around Stones' "Hall of Mirrors" although that was set in New Orleans. One of my ten best ever books.

Hello new people BTW
I used to be here occasionally, but I've been busy.

I'm OK and not a nutter, stalker or meat puppet.

BGB has met me in real life and can confirm at least one of the above.

Hello.
I'm not new, just new to OT
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:33, Reply)
Well that's good then
Hello to you Mr/Mrs/Ms/Other Cowjam.

Evenings on OT used to be quite a vibrant little community, populated by those like me that didn't get the opportunity to post during the day.

Admittedly I very rarely drop by, but the evening thing seems to be completely dead now.
(I helped save b3ta! The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 2 Sep 2010, 21:39, Reply)
I think there are a lot of the regulars out performing carnal acts on bits of dead animal this evening.
Or, as it's commonly known, eating out at a restaurant.

Evening TD.

Ah, the good old O/T Druid community are alive and well.
Do you want a dalek?

It's a long and unpleasant story but I'm putting a lot of toys and models on e-bay at the moment for my sister's friend.

There's a dalek in there - about 5" high, and probably once had a friction motor.

If you think it's interesting let me know. I've a lot of shit to sift through before I get to look at it properly.

Sounds like possibly a Louis Marx model to me.
Colour?

Dug it out
Should have had (I guess) a red dome but it's badly faded.

Quite a good plastic mould.

All the bits that stick out are articulated and still articulate.

Signs of a glue repair on the left hand sticky out thing.

Definately friction motored.

Underside marked "made in Hong Kong" with an inverted 2 where it's arse should be.

Yours if you want it. It'll cost a bit to post safely but gaz me and we'll work it out.

Possibly a Palitoy model then.
God I'm sad...
(I helped save b3ta! Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 2 Sep 2010, 22:09, Reply)
Could be Palitoy
Don't know - I'm sad too because most of the stuff I've been given to sell is die-cast Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox which I DO know the value of.

I've sold most of it - just stuff like the dalek left that I don't know how to price, so I'd rather it went to an appreciative home than an accumulator of crap.

I'm quite liking the pace.
I can't get here at work, which is good cos pace this slow would do my head in but it's ok when I'm watching movies/gaming.

/currently watching Elizabeth in HD

It's a lot faster during the day pace-wise
do you just not have time during the day?

I suspect this place is firewalled,
and don't really want to test it. I suspect it'd be a terrible time sink, and I'm currently very good at what I do.

I'm now a bus driver
And I don't think my passengers would like me to check connectivity on a regular basis.

No, probably not.

But
I'm the only B3TAN currently driving the 15 and 752 in Leeds.

There's got to be some kudos in that...

Don't know them routes.
I used to catch a 1, 93 or 96. Last time I was there they'd fucked about with them and they were called something stupid.

I rarely get here through the day anymore
since work decided to block the site. Which is fair enough really.

Things I regret not saying?
"I'm already married and not really a doctor" might have saved me a lot of trouble in hindsight.

Someone walked out on me in a bar the other night.
I wish I'd just apologised rather than frowning and saying 'I haven't done something to upset you have I?' in my stupid posh voice.

It's often the things I don't hold back on that cause the most trouble.
Most notably "If you're going to sleep with your boss behind my back, fuck off and live with him instead." That remark cost me one allegation of assault, one job, one house, all of my money and most of my sanity.
