I am in absolutely GREAT form today. Nothing to do with anything, nothing to do with work, just a good friend is doing a very brave and courageous and generous thing and it's put a great big grin on my face to know that there are still proper nice people out there!!

knucklehead6

Well done neccy!!

Congrats

Get well soon.

Can't wait for lunch - verrrrry hungry and heading for carvery

Thanks D'Agger, hopefully just the sniffles! Is your leg back to normal or are you still waiting on the go-ahead from the physio? Hopefully you'll be back to playing soon

Roll on lunch time, longest morning in aaaages!

Ahh gotta love carveys.. no on else really does them like they do in Ireland and the UK.. only problem I find is having to haul myself back to work afterwards and that mid afternoon slump is always a little tougher to get through after a feed like that..

CastorTroy

Well Mother's Day this Sunday means carvery for me.

Aww I have one of those! Love it

ToxicPaddy

Think I need to get myself a cool tea mug (as I don't really drink coffee)..

Any suggestions from the tGc'ers??

Requirements:

Must be able to keep tea warm for at least 15 mins
Decent size mug (hate small cups)


A prize for the best suggestion - I'll buy you a pint or beverage of your choice at the next beers

Try Debenhams for that - think I might have seen something similar there around Christmas

My flatmate got me this for Christmas. While the design may be questionable, the capacity is not.

Refilling is for girls.

Did you wake up with a headache? Thar happened to me the other day, it was horrible Hope you feel better soon

Zombienosh

I've woken up with headaches before, always put it down to dehydration.

Take all the neurofen in that case - and don't act like you don't have a stash nordy!!

Like the lads said - hydrate too, stay away from coffee for a while, although sometimes I find caffeine helps tbh

grames_bond

Tea Helps with headaches! That is a fact (that i made up)

Afternoon all!

ToxicPaddy

Afternoon GB and everyone else

Headaches in the morning, nothing worse..

Its bad enough getting out of a nice warm comfy bed, but doing it with a headache is near impossible..

GoldCobra

It's so grey and misty here. sometimes dull weather gives me headaches.

CastorTroy

Think only time I have headaches in the morning is if I go to bed with one. Gradually goes away though. If there's lack of sleep involved it doesn't come on til later. so Neurofen at my desk and another pack at home.

I drink 2-3 litres of water a day and several cups of herbal tea. I'd rarely have more than 2-3 cups of coffee. I'd doubt it was because I was dehydrated.

Time for coffee. It's so miserable out!

Same here, coffee and an essay. And I got soaked when I went into town earlier. Nothing about today is uplifting at all!

It's a tough one alright.

Stench Blossoms

I have an uplifting thing to say.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered scallops for myself. I always see them on menus and think 'i'm not fancy enough to get them' but I did today.

Yay for me!

Never been a fan of scallops tbh...tried 'em a while back, yick. Yay for you though!
And welcome to the dark side :P


And my uplifting thing of the day - found out there's a workshop on for the kids on Wednesday, don't have to teach but just write a 'reflection', and it still counts as a day teaching.
Day of no lesson planning? SWEET!

Stench Blossoms

Actually yeh they weren't that great. Very chewy.

Ilyana 2.0

I've never had scallops, but scampi are lovely. Not chewy at all

Dammit, now I want scampi. And chips.

Stench Blossoms

I ordered scampi last week because I wasn't paying attention. I thought I was ordering shrimp.

I hate scampi

KamiKazeKitten

Oh dear I'm ruining the upliftingness. My bad!

I've had this stuck in my head for the last two days running, it's torture. Someone send me something even more annoyingly catchy please

Ilyana 2.0

Insanely catchy.

I heard some song on the radio that was very rappy and had some distinctive melody behind it. Apparently it is in the top 5 in american charts.
Go forth and find!

I love that song.

BUT I loved it about 3 months ago when my friend sent me a link to it. Sick of listening to it on the radio now.

I rarely listen to anything beyond Nova or Lyric, so this was a new experience to me

Ilyana 2.0

I actually prefer their song from the Miller ad

Stench Blossoms

Yeh I love the Miller ad song as well.

This is on the album. It makes me laugh so much.
