Hi /talk how are you?
I've just found out a friend has just had his life support turned off this morning. He was supposed to be having an operation to repair Tetralogy of Fallot (a heart condition), at 29, and he just didn't make it. Gutted.

This is what life is all about, is it?

( SuperMatt, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:26, archived)

Very much so
If I die before knowing how the doctor regenerates, I will be VERY disappointed.

I'm concerned about the new series because we're going to get a new doctor and a new assitant at the same time
it's like starting all over again. How are we going to relate to these characters?
Oh fuck it doesn't matter, the new girl is hot and that's all I care about.
( SuperMatt, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:33, archived)

She is certainly easy on the eye

Her voice is weird though

( SuperMatt, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:42, archived)

You mean... Scottish?

( executiverocker only wears C&A, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:46, archived)

I'm not sure what it is.

( SuperMatt, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:47, archived)

It's weird, when her voice goes up in pitch she sounds American
but then when it drops back down to her normal octave then she sounds Scottish again.
( SuperMatt, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:49, archived)

Well as far as I know she is from Edinburgh..
So that could be a clue.

:( That's a horrible condition. I didn't realise it was one of the causes of blue baby syndrome.
In other news, I just ate 3/4 of the sticker on an apple without realising.

Apparently British Bulldogs are prone to it.
There's a surprise.

that might be why they banned it at school

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:53, archived)

A few of our teachers wouldn't let us play that at school because it had British in the name.
They let us play it eventually, when we changed the name to Irish Rover. Which made no sense, really.

These were the old diehard ones from the Gaeltacht, they resented even speaking English.

It's true, they shouldn't.

what's worse than finding a sticker on your apple? etc.

( spacefish bong!, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:52, archived)

why do they even put stickers on fruit?
I went to get a green pepper from Sainsbury's a while back and they all had stickers on. The stickers said "Pepper". FFS.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:52, archived)

it's so they can hire respected shelf stackers

( spacefish bong!, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:54, archived)

I know, completely unnecessary.
This was from the market, aswell. I've stopped buying fruit and veg from supermarkets as it is invariably shit and overpriced and with loads of packaging.

bird's eye chillies are the worst,
I wanted to make chilli oil and I had to buy about 5 or 6 packets of them, and it cost about four quid. The next time I discovered the Chinese grocers, and filled a bag for about 40p.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sat 30 May 2009, 14:01, archived)

I know!
My dad was diagnosed with diabetes type II last year, and is obsessed with chillies now, as they are supposed to help lower blood pressure. They had to buy millions and they used to go off, so they grow them now, my old bedroom is full of chilli plants:(

My grandma has been diagnosed with cancer
next Monday I'm taking her in to hospital. I'm taking her because it's the hospital that I used to volunteer at. I do not find any part of this situation pleasing.
( TopUpTheTea you ain't seen me, right?, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:50, archived)

:( Oh no:(
What kind of cancer does she have?
( Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Sat 30 May 2009, 13:56, archived)

In the womb, and somewhere else.
everyone says it's very operable. but she's very old and weak.
( TopUpTheTea you ain't seen me, right?, Sat 30 May 2009, 14:16, archived)

Shite:(
At least they can do an ovariohysterectomy, that is operable. The surgery will be the problem though.

*huggles*

How is your gym-going going? I did 45 minutes on wii fit today, yay.

an hour on thursday and two hours on monday. sort of feeling better.

But I was sick on wednesday night. The weight is simply falling off me. *sigh*
