As I replied about the OCD much earlier on, my sane advice at this stage (notice I DIDN"T say POINT-hehe) would be to get RID of the damn pencils! I stopped using those messy thing when number 2 pencil tests were no longer in my vocabulary.

Pens with BLACK ink all the way for me . . . the click kind, NOT the cap ones. Caps tend to get lost, then the pens roll off whatever surface they're placed. And we all know what a pain in the ass it is to have to constantly retrieve a pen from under a table, sofa, bed, or wherever you choose to pay bills, write dirty novelletes, or nasty letters to congressmen. Sometimes the latter two are interchangeable.

But, yah . . . pens. Just ask Monk.

We'd better put out a BOLO on qbounce's pens which keep escaping..... Its sounds like a case for the Fed's...

I'd llike to make a 'Point' here.. Ooops!! That pun again.. None of my pencils have 'points' as I don't use them to write with. I use them upside down and type with the rubber/erasure end...

Maybe I could come to some arrangement with catmint, I will use the rubbers/erasures for typing and she can sharpen the end to a point to write with. This would help with the Credit Crunch, plus also Save the Planet.

I think thiis hould be discussed at the next G7 Summit Meeting as its of Global Importance...

Weekend is over. Oh well, another Monday.

[nomis]

Monday. You've got a Monday. You're so lucky. Here, it's Tuesday. We didn't get a Monday yesterday - I didn't notice it. It was called Labour Day and everyone had a holiday. I think Labour Day is something to do with feminists. You'd think having a Mothers' Day was enough but no, they've got to have a day for their troubles giving birth. So they stole our Monday. I say treasure your Monday cos at least you have one. You are so lucky lucky lucky (thank you Kylie). Hullo, is anybody out there. Hullo. Poo.

You're wrong Nomis, its Tuesday here today, but almost Wednesday; will I make it?

Its 'Brass Monkey Weather' here to Manda

I'm so glad your coming with me to Africa; Mondays are banned there...

[nomis]

Wednesday! It's almost over. Luverly sunny day. OK Scrib. Let's have a race. First to Thursday. Currently it's 8.05pm Wednesday here, less than four hours to go. So, if you're thinking of going to bed, forget it. You get busy pushing that time along cos you're already 12 hours behind -- uh oh, we're on daylight saving, so that puts us an hour back - call it 11 hours. C'mon you slow coach. Hey, this stuff really qualifies for this thread, doesn't it.

Manda, here at the beginning of time, we've just said a cheery goodbye to winter and spring has sprung:

When you wake up on Friday Nomis, will you let me know if its worth getting up for?... I'd hate to get up for a really useless day..

But it will really be Thursday so I've got to wake up and start packing, so give me an alarm call.....

Friday Africa; tomorrow could be New Zealand..... I can feel you trembling at the thought of that Nomis....

You guys don't know what boring is; I'm a professional!!

I'll be sleeping with this young lady for the next 14 nights; how incredibly boring is that?...

[nomis]

Sleeping....you'll be sleeping with her. Do you mean sleeping or sleeping. Know what I mean, nudge nudge. I guess you mean sleeping. Too bad. That's boring.

1.03am, it's tomorrow, Thursday. It's dark. Don't bother with it. Can't see a thing without the lights on. Reckon I might go sleep. Maybe I'll see if I can find a picture as you've done and sleep with it. If I put it under the pillow it shouldn't annoy me. Say Scribs, do you get the feeling we're missing out on something taking pictures to bed with us? Some might say that's sad.

We had snow yesterday. Last time we had snow in October was in 1934. I wasn't born then, it was a long time ago. I hope this isn't an indication of what our winter will be like. I don't like it. I usually get the bus to work, today i got a cab. A cab is quicker than a bus but a cab costs more money than a bus. The bus is free the cab cost me £3.90 (thanks to taxicard without taxicard would cost me over £14) It may not sound like much. but if i do it everyday it soon adds up. I should have been born a tortoise, could be shut up in a crate for the winter to sleep. Easy life.

[Ches]

My grandmother was born in 34'. I love her.

Trinity did the cab driver put your chair up, or did you break it down yourself?

[Trinity]

London cabs, black cabs (not racist) are easy, stay in chair and off you go. Even Scrib managed it!

[Scribbler]

Did I hear my name mentioned?..... I'll have to get copyright on it...

Yes Black Cabs (which can be different colours) are great around London. The newer Metro type are best, as they have a built in ramp, plus the head room is better. (not that I've got a big head).... Don't even go there Nomis!!!....

I once got jammed inside one of the older style Black Cabs; I couldn't get my head out. There we were at Covent Garden, with 2 guys trying to bend my head forward and to one side to get me out..... I thought I was going to go from a C4/5 to a C2/3...

From then on, I always pick a Metro style Black Cab. If I really want to show off my knowledge; they're actually Hackney Carriages.

It takes 18 months to 2 years to obtain a Licence to be a London Cabbie, as you have to learn the "Knowledge" and sit a rigorous exam. A London Cabbie has to know every street, including which is a One-Way street, plus the quickest and shortets routes to and from every destination the examiner asks. The prospective Cabbie has to literally talk his way from departure to destination, naming every street and which way he's turning.

"Not a lot of people know that"!... As Michael Cain (never actually said)

Is that boring enough for you?....

Must get on with my packing, but I'm upset they wont let me take my Elephan Gun as hand luggage.... That's discrimination!!!

Well I certainly hope you can take your tranquilizer gun as your P.A. will need it to use on you!

[nomis]

Yes, well, there has been a resurgence in the population of many African elephant communities but they have "nominal protection" which is why they won't let you bring in your own elephant gun. You probably thought it was cos of the terrorist threat but they're ok with that cos they don't use elephants to fly the plane. You'll have to employ your own poacher once in Africa - they're good at making eggs for breakfast, too (not the elephants, the poachers - elephants hide in cherry trees).

[Scribbler]

We're all packed and I've booked in online so printed my boarding pass, so now I'm bored waiting for the off...

I'll look for the cherry trees Nomis...

You'll have to look VERY closely.
A properly trained elephant can compress itself and hid behind an individual cherry,
which means a cherry tree might have thousands and thousands of elephants hidden in it.

[nomis]

You gotta get them when they can't resist to bite of the cherry and expose themselves. ARRRRGH.
Or, they get careless and accidentally knock the cherry they are hiding behind. They are so embarrassed and turn red when they lose their cherry.

[Hapahowlee]

You know, I've never seen an elephant in a Cherry tree . . . guess they hide pretty well, don't they?

[qbounce]

Aaaaaanyway,
had a handyman come in today and fix a few things around the house.
One was a ceiling fan I installed over 3 years ago (pre-injury). I put a remote system in the casing incorrectly, so the fan still worked fine, just not with the remote control.

You should have seen the guys face when I told him I put it up there.
HUH???

He didn't ask, so I didn't tell . . . just as well.

[Sammie]

Wow this is so overly mellow that I almost took a nap! We might need to look into spicing up our life. Can anyone tell me please how to find my questions that I posted so I can read the responses? I dont seem able to figure out how to do that for some reason....

[qbounce]

Hey Sammie,
you might try snuggling up next to that pretty little thing Scribbler's next to . . . . you know, the one he SLEEPS with.--hehe. Probably doesn't get much shut-eye with her next to him.

Anyway, Scrib . . . have at her. Beauty that she is, it's a good thing for you I DON'T preffer blondes.--hehe
Cheers.

Workers came and poured concrete in front of my house yesterday. I have sinced learned I am extremely good at watching cement dry. I wonder if this could lead to any employment possibilities.

[edlee]

They employ inspectors to do exactly that. Not sure if that goes for paint,tho.

[nomis]

Check your local classified advertising for a position as an Environmental Dehydration Supervisor.

[qbounce]

I say, put tread on the surface and make your mark!!

Just keep in mind, they won't hire you for cement watching work any time soon.
