Counting down the days till I leave (2!), but dreading Saturday's appointment with the mortgage adviser (so many numbers!). Had some good news though - the Moat Housing Group will only be redeeming their precentage of the market value of our home, not the sale price, so thats £10k that they can't touch!
How about you? How's the lovely* mrs mike?
( , Thu 7 Jul 2005, 9:07, archived)

why? (been out of the loop for too long, but assumes something to do with moving house?)
The lovely mrs mike is not too bad, was in hospital week before last for 4 days due to loss of appetite and weight caused by her blood/sugar levels or some such thing being out of kilter.
She's ok now, but the Midwife has told her to get signed off work for a couple of weeks to take things easy and see how things progress.

so will be giving b3ta a rest whilst I settle in and make them think that I am hard working and efficient! House is sold (subject to contract and all that, but it's all moving along nicely) and offer made on a new one (3-bed, mid terrace, v.nicely kept). mrs munch has decided that if she doesn't like her new job, I should knock her up after the first year (this is increasingly likely, as we're buying the house to settle down in, and she wants kids before she's 30).
Fingers crossed for mrs and mini mike!

I give you a week tops before you come back into the fold.
Kids are the bestest, a mini monster munch would be cool. All the best boarders are in the process of having babies ;)
and cheers, will pass on the regards to my wife "some random bloke on the interweb who calls himself after a maize based snack sends his regards, he's perfectly nice though, honest"

/perfectly normal
Somehow, I doubt I'll be gone for very long, unless my new boss happens to be a font of crap jokes and tries to bum me at every opportunity...
The idea of kids still makes me nervous, but I am getting more and more broody* of late (and taking an interest in other people's sprogs), as is the mrs, so it's probably inevitable (we've worked out names, too!).
*Disclaimer: may mistake broody for horny, and vice versa.

why I don't I just come round and wake you up at 4 in the morning by screaming. Routinely puke all over you and any possessions you like, crap myself with a look of ineffable satisfaction every few hours and you can give me about £50 a week for the privilege?
I can't see why anyone suddenly thinks "oh. my life's pretty nice and sorted at the mo - let's fuck it up".

Perhaps, uou should be a sex education module?

then when they are old enough to look after themselves you still have the rest of your life to enjoy. (say from 40 onwards)
Rather than having a life then stopping in your early 30's till your 50.
actually, this won't apply to you if you say you're just not keen on kids. Must learn to read all of the posts.

so I could probably put it off until I'm in my mid-40s (I might even be able to afford them by then!). Of course, this isn't going to happen.

When the bun in the oven turns 10 I will be 35 (touch wood etc.) which I think will be the best age for interaction (the other two will be 14 and 13)

Hmm, perhaps not! Anyway, like I said, it's not going to happen that way - I'll have at least one* within the next 5 years, I should think.

I quite like Seth as a name, after the character in The Regulators by Richard Bachman, except one of my "real life friends" has a cat with that name

but let him think that his name is Seth. Only tell him the truth when he's a world famous archeologist, who has just thwarted the Nazi's latest plan.

I think this thread has gone on long enough (1.5 hours since the start of it, eek!)
off for a fag now, and escape from all the posts about London (not that I'm heartless, just that I would rather hear updates on the radio, not be subjected to a whole board about it, where is the bumming?)

We're fine (except see above post). Just been bust at work, and finding no time available to be here. Lurked very occaisionally, but my workload has calmed itself, so I'm back :)

Well in the last 10 days I've been best man on a stag night, had an interview, got the job, moved house, rowed with 2 of my old flat mates and finally got settled and unpacked in my new place!
I'm sure I've bored all this lot with my whinging and bragging :)

Where we drank champagne and it tasted like Coca Cola
C-o-l-a, cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I’m not dumb but I can’t understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
That should be the b3ta official bumming song.
Edit/ To my everlasting embarassment I sung along to that for years and years before it suddenly dawned on me it was about ladyboys.

"I know what I am, I'm a man I'm a man and so's Lola" that gave it away, then?

but you know how it is, a song's playing in the background and you don't really pay attention to what they are singing.
I did not have a copy of it to call my own till this year, so only ever heard it as background (i.e. on the radio)
