Is it too early for Prosecco ST?
Coffee perhaps? With nice frothy milk?
It's never too early for Prosecco in my virtual world, Hanneke
<holds out glass - again!>
Dogs who taste human blood should be executed! i.e. put down
Sounds absolutely appalling SVT
Oh that's shocking! Poor man - I hope they can do something about his finger.
Blimming badly trained dogs - what with Loon getting bitten yesterday and now this......
Are we turning into Grumpy Old People, do you think?
Copied and pasted, but this seems like an apt thread to post it again:
Race entry: £20
Hotel: £29
Petrol: around £30
Extra food and drinks for the journey (and spectator): £10
Time off work: 1 day annual leave
Organising babysitting cover, with family having the kids for tea then other family staying over at our house for the weekend: lots of brownie points
The first round of drinks of the evening: £2.99
Typing this post from home, because the only door we'd left a key to was bolted on the inside, meaning the kids had no clothing, bedding, food or asthma inhaler so we had to come back and miss the whole thing:
Absolutley *$%"ing priceless.
But it could be worse - I have all my fingers at least.
Slog for everyone! This calls for Krug.
(I don't have any, but I did come back from work with 4 cans of bitter, 3 bottles of lager and 4 bottles of ale. If that would suffice.)
More than moderately annoyed that I can't do the Slog...
I need all that beer SVT
and then some Krug!
I am moderately annoyed that you can't do the slog Han. I am also moderately annoyed that I don't have enough time to train twice a day of late, and that we have signed the Lisbon treaty.
Sorry, scrub that last one. I am very annoyed about that.
<fume !>
Humph !
Alex! Good to see you...
I am more than moderately annoyed that a driver in a big BMW X5 hit my car on saturday... not only is it probably a write off, but I also have developed an excruciating pain in my left shoulder... No idea what it is, but probably jarred it in the impact... Thought I was ok
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
And I am leaving for Nepal to trek t Everest Basecamp to run the Everest marathon in less than two weeks GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR < FUMES >
Well, Hann, I think you should probably be more than moderately annoyed, but in fact extremely hacked off!!
Hope you recover quickly and that it doesn't spoil your big adventure in two weeks' time.
I am a bit peeved that I had two glasses of wine over a four hour period last night and still woke up with a slight headache. How can this be?
I'm extremely annoyed that I'm still injured after 9 weeks!!!
9 Weeks ? I'd be a bit miffed about that.
And Han, good luck on Everest, be sure to tell us how it went.
ST - temperance young lady, temperance.
WA, I forgive your implied slur because you called me "young lady"
BMW x5 ?!
one of these wrote my vw polo off! I was at a big island. When car infront entered the island proper I moved forward upto the line. Wham! straight into the back of me. This tiny, elderly person jumped down from form the bm' & apologised. Back of my car had caved in but (no exageration) there wasn't even a scratch on the x5, which really pis$ed me off.
Yeah, same here... the BMW hardly had a scratch on it... and my whole front of the car is crumpled up... Miffed, because I still have not heard from the insurers and was supposed to get a courtesy car or rental car on MOnday... Have been without transport now for 4 days... It is getting to the stage where I can no longer be cancelling evening teaching sessions, or I will run out of money fast
Got your car sorted yet ?
I missed this - most miffworthy, Han.
Too late for chocomilk?
For you or for Han SVT ?
I was most miffed today at boiler problems. Ordered a replacement to do a direct swap and got sent nearly but not exactly the right boiler. We didn't find this out till after 5 so ended up having a big job rather than a twenty minute one.
Humph !
HUMPF indeed young Alex!
< passes chocomilk >
I am a lot less annoyed, as I have managed to convince the insurers not to write off my car, so it is now being repaired and will be ready waiting for me when I come back from nepal...
Shoulder still sore but a lot less so after my lovely sports masseur (who conveniently is also very sexy
) gave it a good going over yesterday, after he had done my legs in preparation for my trip.
If any of you feel inclined to help the Nepali people adapt and work with rather than suffer from the effects of climate change, maybe you'd wish to have a look at my charities website and even donate a modest sum?
I am looking to raise the missing £4,750 odd pounds out of a total of £20,000 needed to get the next project up and running. I hasten to emphasise that everyone who works for the Galcier Trust does this completely voluntarily and it was my own initiative to use my running the Everest marathon to raise the Glacier Trust's profile... http://www.theglaciertrust.org
Well, after a long period of apparent calm and non-miffedness, I return to this thread to report that I am more than a trifle irritated by the driver who deliberately drove at speed through the mahoosive puddle in the road, just as I was running past, thereby drenching me, quite literally, from head to toe.
There then followed much dramatic arm gesturing and jumping up and down, accompanied by some heavy duty swearing - who'd have thought my sweet little mouth could utter such profanities??
