Not the biggest fan of lizards but I think igunas are quite cute. Wouldn't have a clue how to take care of one, though. I'd love a ferret, though. Mad things they are!

Just gave my ferret away.
Feels weird not having any ferrets

Where I work has three wide open doors, one each side and behind me. last time I checked, it was five degrees.

So, along with my uniform of black skinny jeans and a logo'd jumper, I have two t shirts, leggings and a Christmas jumper on underneath. I'm still freezing

5 degrees??? jesus you must be sweating!! its -2 here at the mo haha

edit: I'm also at work today and to make it worse I'm not getting paid!!! needless to say i wish i was still in bed!!

Ankhyu

Yep it's -2 here in limerick! There's a breeze going around, am right beside a supermarket which is cold because of the fridges, and I'm near a door that goes outside too. I'm gonna be surviving on lots of tea today to keep warm I think!

Esoteric_

It's about that here temp wise, but about five degrees where I actually work, with a constant breeze.

I'm actually shivering. Pretty sure there's laws against working in such cold conditions.

I like it freezing >_>

I broke my decent and expensive phone months ago, been using a 20e blockia since. tbh i kind of prefer it without all the bells and whistles.

Nope. Watching Live at the Apollo....it's sh!t. Comedy just isn't funny any more!!

I don't think comedy's not funny anymore but I think the TV comedy scene is getting a bit stale, it's the same faces every time. Also some seem to phone it in for the likes of Live at the Apollo. I'm a big Jimmy Carr fan but I remember seeing a Live at the Apollo performance of his and I don't think I laughed once. There are also people who are really funny but hate TV, Dylan Moran is as brilliant as ever but he never does television if he can avoid it.

New people are starting to emerge though, Aisling Bea was on 8 out of 10 Cats not too long ago and everything she said had me in stitches. Mae Martin seems to be getting some recognition now as well. New people appearing all the time.

Also theres the whole thing of comedy being subjective, there are some hugely successful comedians that I just don't 'get' but I put it down to it not being my humour rather than them not being funny. Well except Russell Kane, I don't know anyone who likes Russell Kane. :P

This post was much longer than intended, if you haven't guessed I quite like comedy.

Aw nice one...thought i was the only one who felt that way. I like Steve Hughes (Australian guy with long hair) but he's not on anywhere enough. I liked Lee Evans in the early days but he's gone to sh!t. Give me the old oldies any day...Laurel & Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Jerry Lewis, Norman Wisdom...top class!

On another note, went back training this morning after a 6 week break. I was NOT able for it! Could only do two laps of the circuit. It was only this...

Three 3 minute rounds on the bags with push ups and crunches in between each round. This was followed by
1. Dips - 3 x 15
2. Bench Press - 3 x 15
3. Hitting tractor tyre with sledgehammer - 3 x 50
4. Russian twists with 8kg medicine ball - 3 x 50
5. "V-ups" - 3 x 20
6. Pull-ups - 3 x 15

and then the last thing was a tug-of-war rope with a tractor tyre tied to the end. This was one end of the gym and me the other. Then had to drag the tyre towards me....Jesus that was tough going. Arms and shoulders are pulled out of me...

Obviously, the tyre and rope...

and this is the distance it had to be pulled...

Feckin wrecked now!!

Slightly deflating sporting day today

Found this article about tattoos in the Manchester Guardian during the 20's, fairly interesting stuff.

Ha true, I'd say life could have been fairly 'interesting' for folk living in England in the 30's and 40's who decided to get a tattoo of a swastika during the 20's. I'd wonder what the equipment and aftercare was like back then too

Dunno to be honest, I'd imagine bandages and maybe a wash once a few days might have been the way to go

What the fcuk is up with all the old threads getting dragged up the last week or two with random gibberish, very strange.


Went to Reptile Haven tonight such a cool place was there for ages think I will be going with a Bearded Dragon I like them , and as they are meant to be the most managable I think the best one for a novice to reptiles. They did have some cool Chameleons in there aswell. But I know from reading up there certainly not the way to go with beginners.

A re-reg troll is stalking me and dragging up every old thread I've started.


I'm so jealous, I want a lizard


Good week coming up. Half days in work tomorrow, Tuesday and thursday, off Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, going to see Jimmy Carr on Friday, with free booze and dinner included and himself is taking me out for dinner, drinks and booking a hotel. Woo

That's just really creepy and weird.

Yeh I'm looking forward to it now . Just a quick question since there s afew in know in here, your man in the shop was saying best off starting them in a smaller vivarium then changing up after while as a big one can be to much for a baby?

Sounds like a nice week, I've got a busy week of work ahead then London next weekend can't wait. Also did have a savage steak tonight in the Butcher Grill 10oz striploin it was amazing.
