Re-reads last sentence, puts on tin hat, takes to internet with a vow to find chewie & hunt him down predator style...

interesting...

so your view is that girls don't like jealousy, but what they do like is predator style death! you've got a lot to learn about girls LJ, my extensive research has taught me that they like complaining about how untidy men are, and being bought drinks by sleazy strangers.

Nikkster - so good to see you back!:wave:

Hope all goes swimmingly for you on your "sorting stuff" ventures. You deserve the best.:)

Thanks lj, good to see you back too :j
Not sure exactly what is going to happen from here, but it can only be better than what I've left (crosses fingers).

Hope your recovery goes well too

Just thought - a year ago it was Census season :rotfl:

A fellow Northamptonian :wave: but how very dare you consider it part of London! Laaahndan is way too cool and funky for that dour little town...

when i say northampton, i might mean daventry (although technically i was born in northampton general hospital...or actually maybe it was the barrett maternity home, i forget). it's all the north london connurbation though. i'm a londoner born and bred, i eat jellied eels for every meal and refuse to make eye contact with other humans.

I knew I was really leaving London when someone got onto the tube and asked if it was going to a certain station. A couple of people said 'no', then from nowhere I mentioned that they could stay on the train and change at the next few stations. As I was leaving the train, I checked and found that the lady could get the train directly behind the one we were on so I mentioned it. :A

For anyone wondering anout the pretty tyoast bedlinen i chased them and they told me its 140 thread count. Pretty but very poor value. I will find my own lace and use missk's website and either try and thread my sewing machine or sew it on by hand.


Incidentally, i have done that with towels.....a bit of ikea copying cath kidston fabric and lain white towels. Looks lovely, nicer than the expensive towels. A duvet cover will probably leave me swearing though, thats a lot of sewing by hand. I might just do pillow slips and a top sheet. Thats enough lace for anyone really.

as a general rule, if you are male and went to a public school (or in my case, a quasi public school) and you like lager, you will probably like me. if not then i imagine that spending any time in my company is completely horrendous.

i'm surprised the tube police didn't appear from nowhere and beat you to a bloody pulp for commiting the two cardinal sins of (a) holding a conversation on public transport and (b) being helpful.

yesterday there was a woman clipping her nails with a pair of particularly noisy nail clippers on the train on the way home. the nails didn't really bother me as i don't, generally speaking, lick the floor of the train, but the sound drove me insane. i was close to migraine territory by the time i finally got off. obviously i could have asked her to kindly stop, but it was better to have a migraine than break the sacred code.

Its OK, it was during my last week within the M25. The tube police will find that their oyster cards won't get them this far.

I did quite surprise myself though - I had generally perfected the trick of switching off from everything except for being told that the train was being taken out of service etc until I reached the other end of the line.
