I also voted just now.

delija_sever029

It seems we have elections today:D

Necronomicon

Me too. It deserves 5 stars for getting me through work.

Feckin hell this weather is schizo. I decided to be a lazy bastard and drive to the gym even though it was sunny out. When I finished up I nearly drowned trying to get back to the car. All kitted out in my shorts and t-shirt.

ShiverinEskimo

And knowing us being a bunch of "change is bad" paddies most of us will vote no.

ShiverinEskimo

As for the weather - I've been given new cause to care. We have quite a sizeable garden who's lawn needs mowing once a week. Normally my Dad did it but he's getting old now and needs to settle after a wee health scare so I've been doing it each week. It's about a 2 and a half hour job so no mean feat, so far I've managed it every weekend in 5 weeks, somehow and I will not do it when wet.

So somehow, we have had minimum 6 hours sunshine per weekend since June if you include a couple of hours minimum for it to dry out enough to be cut and then the time it takes me to cut it.

Doesn't feel like it though.

Aw man you have no idea. I wish. Tarmac all the way if I could - or a tennis court type surface for me to kick ball on. It's a bastard. And it takes me that long not due to sheer size but for the amount of trees and bushes and **** I have to mow around.

ITT-Pat

pay a dog to ruin said trees and bushes

ShiverinEskimo

The trees include 100 year old chestnuts and sycamores. 'twould take some dog.

ITT-Pat

well tbh, if the dog has the intellegence to understand monetary value, i dont think he'll have much of a problem with them

ShiverinEskimo

Fair point. But I could be paying in dog food.

ITT-Pat

ah he wouldnt do it for that

Similar here. (Except my dad is a lazy shoite )

However, this week was the first week I had to mow it while it was soaking wet thus clogging up our crap mower every couple of minutes. That cement idea sounds so good.

ShiverinEskimo

I just watched Into the Wild again and got reminded of this one by Eddie Vedder (or at least his version of it):

The mods. This thread is for OFF topic chat.


Speaking of which, are we going to have some friendly bets on the Fantasy Football? I lookforward to kicking Xavi's butt!

I'd have said drivers, top corner of screen so that it isn't interfering with line of sight.

That's a guess though.

Are you taking the test, or someone you know? Either way, G'luck.

Feckin amateurs. You'll soon be put in your place.

I usually do it but end up losing interest after the second gameweek. It is good gettin to pick Xavi as captain every week though.

All the more reason so!! I nearly won my work one last year, Ironically it was the CL Final that fecked me over




On a sidenote....Tyson Gay....into the nxt round of the Olympics!

Xavi6

I've no doubt City will lose. Anyway, less of the on topic stuff.

On a positive note I've just booked a nice little holiday for myself in June 09. Heading to the South Pacific island of Vanuatu for a week.
