  1. Who are you, Rowan? Thats one of those teaser posts! Are you going to reveal more details (Im intrigued), or will the rest be kept off forum?
  2. You and me both! It hurts to move my neck too far in any direction bar straight ahead, my calf muscle in my right leg is tight and I hurt my back.....that bloody gown mountain /wrestling ring! Im sure some of the regular posters on here can have a wild guess for what Ive been drinking as a form of painkiller / anaesthetic tonight.
  3. And when you find that the first two are replaced by the last two on your weekly shopping list...you KNOW you've made it in life.
  4. Theres a ridiculous number of sirens going off at the moment! Has there been a murder?
  5. My nag....Ive had bloody atomic kitten "Boom I want your love", stuck in my brain for days now! I thought youtube would help. It didnt. Its just making things worse as I am forced to play it over and over....its an addiction!
  6. Thats an absolute disgrace! Get the mods to ban him (if he's still posting), or get a mass boycott organised.
  7. If its any consolation, Im with you lawstud! I hope you really broke the laptop good and proper.
  8. Although its an international one, I got stuck in Kuwait airport once. Entirely covered with pink, not that much to do, and being held at riflepoint when you set off the metal detector is great fun.
  9. And that was one voice. Let me counter with: He deserved it, what a tit! You should have done more, for occasions like these, you need a small electromagnet to run over his laptop and erase his data, problem solved! You should also have run amok and slaughtered all the kids, sort of like a bigger scale version of Gerry McCann and maddy!
  10. Now now - Ive been cleaning this place since I moved in a month ago! Its not easy getting rid of 3+ years of non cleaning - can you believe that in the 3 years my mate has lived here the stairs and upstairs was never hoovered! They didnt even own a hoover till a few months ago. Compared to the standards of those that have lived here before me, Im practically the messiah of cleanliness! Ill be speaking to my soliciters (once PeterGrants finished with them), you can expect to hear from them shortly.
  11. Very little, Im just very lazy. I keep my stuff right at the front so I dont have to go through all that malarky of rooting around and opening the door properly. I also go out the back door as there is a rather large pile of post inside my front door. I have some laziness issues!
  12. Oh boy. I found out earlier on why my kitchen smelt so bad. Ive been on my own in the house for a few weeks now while the others are on holiday, but today I discovered an apple right at the back of the fridge, in some state that had been left there by one of my mates before he went away. Unfortunately, this covered the 'do not cover' water drain. Consequently the entire bottom of the fridge was covered in stagnant mouldy water, with mould everywhere - Mould!! It took a bit of cleaning.
  13. Depends whats being flicked. Sorry. Ill just get me coat now.
  14. Ach, they probably have a good reason for it - its not the sort of thing they do normally! Still, its a bad time, what with just about every person I know being at work, on holiday, with their kids, away home, or located on the other side of the country. Still, I get the choice of setting up my spare computer, or continuing to move stuff into my new room. Tell you, its 100mph in the life of xbl!
  15. Gah! After being off sick today and spending the afternoon cleaning, I was feeling better and looking forward to a few drinks in town. So I was meeting up with a few friends in town, and I got myself ready to set out for the walk to town. Lashing down with rain! After a couple minutes I decided to get the bus. But wait, it was 20 minutes till the next bus.....not enough time to justify going home and waiting, ages to wait. Still, I kept texting my friend, chatting away. 15 minutes later, they text me to say they have had enough and are all going home. So, an evening in on my lonesome Time to break out the emergency lonely pot noodle.
  16. Id imagine that it was keeping things in terms of web personas...nobody calls me xbl away from here, but I would still talk as if they did.
  17. Do it online - quicker and easier! My complaint, I was sent home from work for looking like death. Had a thumping headache, felt a bit sick, tired etc. and two people had gone home ill already, so I was sent home just in case I passed anything on. Its nice to be back in bed n all that, but I could have done with the cash!
  18. Wow - theres a rich vein of whisky knowledge being unearthed here!
  19. I like the 'Speyside Shite'! Its not that harsh, and they tend to have a cleaner, fruitier taste than others Ive sampled down the years. My main attraction to Glenmorangie is actually the smell, I could (and do) just sniff a glass of Glenmorangie for so long that it almost seems a shame to drink it. Ive made a complete mockery of my 'no whisky' vow now. Edited to add...Ill buy another bottle if I get my phd place, Ill look out for Lagavulin too - based on your advice! Regarding Toms advice, I think Ill take Reynards judgement over yours!
  20. I was tempted by the Laphroaig (spelling?), but I was put off because I heard it was a bit harsh and fiery..any thoughts? You seem to know your stuff about cars, so by a jumo of logic, Im going to assume you know your stuff about amber liquid too.
  21. Aye, may have mentioned it once or twice....its damn good stuff though! Jesus, Im obviously headed for a southstander style breakdown. Either that or Ive become Adam "Im moving to Italy y'know" Wee. Either one is not welcome...so no more mention of whisky on here!
  22. Hmm, true enough. Ive been alone in the house for the last couple weeks and I cant be bothered going out that much (tired after work), so generally I come on p&b at nights to keep me company without making an effort to be social. However, Ive also been drinking whisky at nights, and so unusually for me, I dont think IVe remembered a single dream Ive had in recent nights. Thats the drink doing its job and keeping the evil voices away! B) Wonder whether Ive been dreaming p&bers about in my repressed memory....
  23. Aye, thats worrying all right! I can honestly say that no matter how inspirational you are, I have never dreamed about anyone on here. I COULD do that...or I could blow the money on paying for a month or two abroad doing some voluntary work. I fancy a holiday, but Im shit at holidays...so I might just pay to go and do some work in a different country.
  24. Does at the mo! Im on from 8am till 9pm for the rest of the week, with possibly overtime on Saturday. Its event driven work, so Ill be back to normal shifts soon, but it fair takes it out of you!
  25. I go straight back from the interview to me job on the docks! Working till 9pm to make up the hours I missed while at said interview.
