Count me in the hideously happy with a weekend of silliness and sports only a few hours away. The sun is shining away, so I reckon I might even get a little skate in down at the beach with the missus before a night of yeast induced silliness. Ice hockey game on sunday, and going diving on Saturday if I can get it organized. I don’t know - here we are all aging at a rapid rate of knots and you can’t think of things you want to do? [sub]now let’s see if I can make it out of this thread alive after such a nauseating display of happiness and enthusiasm[/sub] ---

I have soooo much I \*\*want \*\*to do however I am stuck at work on a Friday afternoon at 3.57 pm and I need to stay here for at least another hour before I can make a phone call. Quite frankly I am bored out of my mind and cannot be arsed to do anything productive for the next hour. Actually I have managed to do nothing productive since about 10.00 this morning 😃 How on earth did I manage to cram work from 5 normally very busy days into 4 days whilst persusing the internet more than normal? Must be the sun yeah it has affected my brain that’s it! ---

You will all be able to hear me snoring, but at least you will all be in the pub of yoru choice while I will be listening to the same old same old. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ---

I just can’t be bothered anymore in trying to lend people a helping hand and getting a brick wall in my face. Fuck it. Won’t bother again. Not worth the consideration. ---

Mmm, laksa soup… I should really go back to the Singaporean restaurant to have it again one of these days. (my friend thinks I’m crazy, but it’s really good stuff) As for being bored… I’m sort of bored too. But at least I have a bright shiny new book to engage my attention. 🙂 F\_X ---

In this instance, the curry and the soup came separately. And only the curry was my own fault, the soup was spilled on me by somebody else, walking down the street in Oxford. It’s hell on those streets, I tell you. Never mind drive-by shootings, it’s the walk-by, err, soupings, you have to watch out for.
