This is a bit of an experiment…

I’m going away for a few days from tomorrow (Saturday, if I can get up after spending too much time here). I’m back on Tuesday night. (I’m going to see my mother, in case you’re interested, and she doesn’t have a computer.)

I want to see what you lot do with this thread (if anything) in my absence.

Over to you…

Ok, I’ll bite. I got a memo today with this subject line:

**Horrible smells coming out of the office reefer**

It made me giggle.

That is all.

You know, **White Lightning** , I don’t get it either. Haven’t for nearly three years. And I’m married. Doesn’t seem right, does it?  
I hope you get it soon. Damnit, I hope we all get it soon.

This thread might turn out to be a godsend because there’s…\<checking which forum we’re in. oh crap, I can’t swear\>…sod all on TV.

And by the time I leave There will be nothing open to allow me to ram junk food down my throat. So I’ll have to buy some bland crap from the supermarket behind my house. and eat it while I watch the one remaining episode of **Alan Partridge** on DVD.

And then go to bed before my next fun itchy no tv burp cough lonely restless leg posting and browsing the boards for 9 hours night shift.
