Rotten Ali 600 Posted October 12, 2007 That was silly of me - I went on holiday the other week and forgot to stick a note in this topic. Well I'm back, and well refreshed from a few days at Longleat Centre Parcs. Not much to bragg about but it was only my 2nd holiday this year - Darned work - Still I had a nice slice of "project milestone" cake yesterday for doing at least a half job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted October 25, 2007 We've just been away for a few nights in Selsey, went for a walk round Chichester on Tuesday and whilst we were there, within the space of about half an hour, two old ladies both fell over right in front of Mr Lard, two separate fallings completely independent of each other - I'm wondering if he has this effect on ladies under the age of 70 as well. Happily, both old ladies were fine after a little sit down. On the floor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted October 25, 2007 Get Mr Lard to Brinsworth House sometime in 2008 eh? And we'll get the first Mrs Bruce Forsyth and Pepe Poupe on a few deadpools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Die 63 Posted December 19, 2007 I haven't been on holiday, but the bastards where I work have kept me too busy to find time for Deathlist. Anyone would think they were paying me or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone would think they were paying me or something. That sort of attitude on the part of your employers is outrageous and absolutely uncalled for. I'm afraid you're going to have to set some limits before it gets completely out of hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted December 20, 2007 I have a therapist now and the other day the base of our conversation was 'routines' and she was talking about making positive routines and this whole situation of your employees depriving you from your interest is f****n out of control. I think it's very possible they are taking advantage of your responsibilities and possibly giving you their own so they could have a extended lunch hour. It's very self centered and it has to stop.

Then again, it could be a case of "We are paying you to work, not to twat about on a f*****g computer all day surfing shite."

Banshees Scream 110 Posted December 22, 2007 Do you share your interest in all things Deathlist with this therapist? The conversation usually consists of the future and the bridges I need to build in order to get there. I've made progress and maybe this can help me change my perspective on certain concepts in life which I don't see the right way. Anyway I don't tell my therapist about Deathlist. I'm not going too and I don't even need to get into why. But what the hell I want to wish everybody a very merry Christmas. I want everyone to drive safely because we don't want car accidents. Last night I ordered a pizza and the girl 'she was young, brunette early 20's' slid off the road into somebody's driveway and crashed somewhere. I was waiting for at least two hours and having no idea what happened I said 'Is my food still hot?' and then I find out she was in a car accident. It's a good thing she was alright. On the subject of food on Christmas Eve I have pasta and chicken cutlet and New York Italian bread and everything else. I want to be everyones inspiration of drinking\overeating and letting go entirely on Christmas. I also advise that if you spent enough money 'leave the price tag on the gifts' because even if in ten years somebody forgets what you bought them they will definitely remember how much it cost you. Overall 2007 I guess was allllright but I think 2008 is seriously going to be one f****n hell' of a year! I've laid down a couple of suggestions for next years list and no doubt I'll be back in the house when the new list is drawn up so I can criticize it . I'll be back New Years Eve! Happy Holidays everybody! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Matapouri Bay, in northern New Zealand. Well done DDT! It's my favourite beach ever, less than 3 hours drive from Auckland and close to surf beaches, diving (the Poor Knights marine reserve nearby) and 'sport' fishing, but equally excellent for making sand castles with the kids and sitting around in the sun doing bugger all.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted February 27, 2008 I'm off on tour to Switzerland, Holland and Belgium. Trying to sleep in the back of a transit with a bunch of hairy-arsed blokes, piles of music gear and one very brave/foolish woman. I'm sure I said I was too old for that sort of thing a while back.
