    For a bit if light relief: I'm watching "Abigail's Party"on BBC 4

    "Have you ever tried pilchard curry? That's a very economical dish".

    Haha nope but oddities abound with the folk that show up on the show all the same..

    I never realised how many people have aversion to certain types of food since I saw bits of that show.
    If i had a cynical mind, I'd think people are chosen on this basis. Also the more "entertainment" value whether positive or not to your image may come into it.


    Oh I'm a vegetarian who doesn't eat green vegetables and hate chairs with 4 legs. Guaranteed to get on the show.

    This made me laugh before 7.30am. It's rare for someone to even get a smile out of me before 11. Well done Ted. Keep up the good work.

    Off today & tomorrow. Still bedside, nothing to do and all days to do it.

    Bedside, woke up hungry so went to make porridge and blueberries but when I opened the cupboard there was Tesco donuts leftover from yesterday so I'm back in bed ,full, may have porridge later.☺️ Have a great lads, I'm going to take it easy for the day, I'm on the second season of Succession so might just binge it for a few hours.

    Deskside in my new office setup, housemate moved out a couple of weeks ago so converted his room into my office. 4 hours graft last night but so worth it!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 12,955 Mod ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    Desk side working away, have to phone one of the dissertation students I’m supervising at 3pm to let him know whether he should be granted a two week extension or defer submitting to next year.

    Then a good walk in the park and art class this evening. :)

    Happy Thursday all!

    I'm in "werk".

    Jaysus but you'd be tired doing nothing.

    Must ring the daddy. He gone in for scopes today and is staying over night. That's because the last time, he didn't like the drinks so threw them out. Such a naughty daddy.

    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

    We can't go on together with suspicious minds..lol

    I ended up taking returns back to the shopping centre because the bags were annoying me on the hallway but of course I purchased more stuff so I'm leaving them in the boot and pretending it never happened.
    Anyway, I had an altercation on the journey home , I was coming off a slip road on to a main road, there was a truck outside me and it seemed to be matching my speed ( I was waiting for him to move on so I could pull out), anyway as I was on a part of the road that leads to another slip road I speeded up and passed it on the inside, pulled out way ahead and nothing else around so very safely...he started blowing the horn ,I had the window down and he kept it pressed for ages. I looked in the mirror and he moved into the slip road, I genuinely don't think I did anything wrong, I hadn't indicated but neither did he, now I'm anxious that he's going to throw up a dashcam clip . FFS its annoying me now.

    TLDR, I should have stayed home with Tedo today.

    There were no Wednesday night beers this week on zoom, despite the pubs being closed in these parts. Most of us weren't bothered going to a pub when they reopened anyway. So tonight its Thursday night beers and starting the weekend early.:D

    I've been spending my days slowly working on a new start up that could possibly tap into a a living with Covid business market. I'm also back on board writing and developing new ideas, something I haven't had the time to do in over 20 years with any real meaning. I'm enjoying being creative for myself rather than others. I haven't had any dealings with RTE's IPU in over 20 years, but looking forward to hitting them up soon and the BAI and others. Positive creative vibes.

    Over my time in this thread I've noticed some comments here and there, suggesting that certain posters have cameras set up watching each other's homes. I used to think you were all peeping toms and pervs but ya know what...if you can't beat em, join em! So I got my own camera out and took up residence outside Sephs house. Would anyone be interested in seeing a photo of the side of his house??

    Similarly, a boards poster saw a mug with the words 'crazy cat lady' and thought of me. I would have brought the mug myself, but don't have space for it

    Isn't Art so wonderful! I have a 12 year old here with a passion for it. During lockdown she painted this great one, a scene from the original Star Wars movie, A backlit scene too. If you know your Star Wars, you will get it,
