Reply With QuoteIt's 08:45, I'm at my desk (rare 'Nidle spotted in office shocker) and eating chicken pakora dipping it in Franks Red Hot Wing sauce.
I am beginning to worry for the state of my tastebuds.
I've no idea what it is but I've got biggest flying insect I've ever seen trying to get into my lounge here in Baku and I daren't go out in case it bites me.

Give it a couple of hours and you'll be worrying about something else.Originally Posted by Beaunidle
Just had someone pop in to apply for a job. There is a recruitment monitoring form on the back of our application form. Before she left, as I'm the one who will be doing the interview I asked if she had any questions.
"What is a middle name?"
"What is my ethnic origin?"
"What should I put for religion?"
I think this one could be a keeper.
Moving house next week. Took a beer into the workshop to assess. I have so much STUFF it is frightening. Already culled a truck load (literally) to the local auction house a month ago, but even without the big machine tools I sold I reckon that the workshop is a 7 1/2 tonner on it's own (and the new workshop until extended is only ten by fifteen. Feet)
I'm buggered.
I am really really fancy some seafood linguini with a glass of rose now
Ive got a bit of a thing for marmalade at the moment.
Its overtaken marmite which is unusual.
get some Vegemite inside you girl, you will never look back!!!
That kind of crazy talk is for the bear pit, sir!
I've just been out to buy grapes; returned with three bottles of wine instead. Close enough.

I see that the tradition of posting random bits to bump up the post count is still very much alive :)
You seem to have proved your own point.
What are the stars next to certain topics? I thought it was to do with number of replies, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The FAQ mentions it's a rating system, however I can't see where this is. Apparently it's at the top of whatever thread you're in. Maybe I'm not seeing it for looking.
Go up the posts on this page to the top. Just above the first post there's a line. On it it says 'Rate this thread'.
Hmm, yeah I can't see it. Maybe it will just appear one day like Sheds and the Sales Corner did.
Went to the gym today, first time this year, what with a fucked Achilles and an intermittent lower back problem.
Feel better for it, mainly coz I did it in works time.
I am desperately craving something new for the wrist, even though I'm supposed to be saving up for a house purchase. We don't really need to have a home, do we?
Thought I'll finish today at 1630 and go to my local. Just because I can

Depends on what kind of home you want. A 99 pence watch off ebay shouldn't tip the mortgage.
The one day I decide to line dry my laundry, the neighbour decides to have a barbecue.
ARSE.
Very true, but all purchases feel like a bit of a crime these days. I don't have the most expensive taste, though, and might just try to swap my 79090 for something else fun. Luckily I don't have the collector gene.
Last summer a very small fly got between the outer layer of screen and LED on my macbook air, it was impossible to get it out. Eventually I couldn't see it anymore, maybe it burned up or something.
It's summer again and these tiny black flies are around, I hoping it doesn't happen again.
Same thing happened on my MBP, SWMBO squashed it so the corpse is still there. :-(

Ffs. The trains on the east coast mainline are ****ed today. Power line issues.
So much for getting into London at usual time and getting away early today :(
Will hang about a bit and see if any trains at all turn up.
For a change I fancy a quiet weekend. Not going to happen though :/
I'm going bowling.
Crown green.
With my in-laws.
In Cheshire.
Mother warned me there'd be days like these...
Not sure if it was the spiced garlic prawns I had for lunch, or the 2 coffees afterwards.......I don’t think I need to go into details :-(
I had a tour of the Humboldthain Flak Tower in Berlin this morning.
Damn, I was all psyched up to order today but he’s closed on a Monday.
I've ordered "Let's Make This Precious" cd as retail therapy

Just spent 6 hours in Sandnessjoern airport due to cancelled flight. No WiFi and with a vending machine as the refreshment facilities........... 2nd world problems ;-)
I own a snack vending machine that is in the communal area of our office complex. As I have moved house and will now rarely be at the office to monitor it and top it up with sweet and salty treats I've run it down to empty and have a guy coming to collect it tomorrow.
I've just emptied the coin mechanism and the coin bucket, it's quite astonishing how much money there is in a full coin mechanism!
Sitting in my office at home, staring idly out of the window thinking about nothing in particular, and a Vulcan bomber (presumably XH558) flew past.
I bought a car all by myself without asking the Internet for an opinion, I expect the wheels will fall off and it will explode like the baddies cars in the A-Team / Knight Rider; in the mean time I'll just enjoy the straight-six sound track.
It's done. Decided. A two-liner Pelagos will replace my 79090 Sub as soon as possible. There, I've put it in writing, and can't keep changing my mind.
Right, I had a new PC with 2tb secondary drive for 10 months now. So I guess I should actually do a proper job of ripping all my cds.
Been putting this off for way too long.
So far my A>Z is actually A>W

I dont want to.
We bought our house 3 years ago and a stack of documents just turned up today from the solicitors! Apparently they just found these documents lying around. Most is tedious old planning consent stuff but one was an in depth archaeologists report on our house dated 1982. Fascinating. In it they say that a good proportion of the original timber frame still stands and the joints/structure and other clues indicate it dates from the 14th century when it was a hall dwelling, with some additions to it made in the 17th century. The house is listed and the details say its 17th century with later additions, which I thought was old, but it seems our house is considerably older than I thought. I always said the timber in the old loft part under the thatch looks medieval. Seems I wasn't exaggerating.
Just put the chocolate brownie in the oven and timing it with my new chronograph.
I am (genuinely) concerned that I may be getting vitiligo (present in the maternal line) as I have developed a white, tuppence sized, melatonin free patch of skin. The problem is that it is on my happybags.
As a man who has not bothered a Doctor's doorway in two decades at least, this is daunting.
Today I have posted poo in a letterbox.
It was for a good cause though.
I don't like bagels.
Spent two minutes this morn winding my watch up by giving it the correct motion required to get it going , put it on my wrist and realised I had put my G-shock on

My wife and I just had a good giggle at an email from a French lady at the ESF ski school. It was an incredibly long, tortured English complex reply to a simple question about ski lesson prices. The cherry on top was the closing remark: "Do not bother to contact me if you have any more question". I think this is sound advice.
I am procrastinating rather than cleaning the flat.
Cannot. Be. Bothered.
I've spent the weekend in the garden ripping out, chainsawing, shredding and skipping 25m of well established laurel hedge. Am now knackered!!!
Doing 7 knots in 6-8m seas...................today I are mostly not living the dream
Ive got a right craving for a glass bottle of coke.
And I've got cystitis yet again. Deep joy.
I've got a craving for a bottle of Buckie lol, actually I haven't at all, just wanted to say something random
