Mini asked yesterday:
Why do we always want the ones we can’t have
So we can appreciate it more when the right one comes along and it does work out.
PS I’m not about at all today. Back tomorrow.
PPS Stop posting Book 3 spoilers!
PPPS Sam Fox looks a lot better than I thought she would. [In fairness, I only saw a brief clip on BBC Breakfast.]

Happy Monday! I think..
Hahahaha *points at Tee* told ya! *looks in nocent*
And I am so surprised at Sam Fox, she seems ok, so far and for her age looks good, her face is just too tranny.
*hugs YBN*
feels like I haven’t done that in forever.. how is min favorit barnvakt?
I missed my “-” damn it!
OR have they been banned!!!!!
just to check, like!
nope not banned! then.
off to lunch
have a good lunch.. I’m gonna go and find a snack..
*hugs Mini*
I am great, thanks. I babysat for real on Saturday night too. She is soooooo funny.
Be back in a bit.
Hahaha, you so wouldn’t do that if Dev was going to be here.
*makes notes for leader* “Instigating and hyphenating.”
shoosh you!
go read some more and post more spoliers! heehee
Oh Tee I have to talk to someone in San Antonio later, is there any special greeting/words I should use?
“Howdy, pardner.”
I’m kidding. Nah, they have no special greeting. But STEER CLEAR of any Alamo conversation. People take that thing way too seriously…Ask LAJ.
Speaking of things to say, did you *figure out* how to say “Figueroa.”
Morning/afternoon ladies!
hahaha if I say that I will *burst out laughing*
No and the swede was no help either! same as Rapace, the last name of the actress that plays Lisbeth. Unusual last names are a rarity in Sweden. And I know it will be said funny too.
Aren’t you up early?
If you are talking to me, the answer is yes. It is 5:30 here. I have a full day today.
hey BG, isn’t it really early for you too?
how was your weekend?
My weekend was really good. Just relaxed with my guy.
We did watch a really bad movie – Confessions of a Shopaholic. Yahoo Users rated it a B+, but there was no way it was a B+. I do not recommend it.
I wasn’t there but Christ that IS early!
Isn’t that Mrs Borat, Isla Fisher in that?
I seemed to watch loads of tv/films this weekend.
What are up to then, BG?
Morning BG!
I was up a bit earlier than usual. Now is my normal time.
You and the Swede are just a comedy of errors when it comes to language.
Just add an “oh-uh” to figure.
Ooo, do a Scottish cockney rhyming slang for Figueroa! What is her first name? Monica?
Monica Fig Roll
is how I say it in my head
Hey Tee.
Yes, Isla Fisher is in the movie. I didn’t know she was married to Borat.
I have a typical Monday with work and school. Nothing particularly exciting.
You two and your book spoilers. By the way, feel free to keep posting the spoilers. They go right over my head. I am sure I can still read the books and will not remember any of the spoilers at all.
Oh, I forgot. It’s Figuerola. With an L, isn’t it.
Well, “Fig roll uh” is also how my dad would say it.
BG, I’ve not seen that movie, but I like Isla Fisher.
BG you MUST read the books and I know with the spoilers, I keep telling Tee but she never listens.
*polishes halo*
You are so full of shit today.
But I agree.
BG, do read when you have the time.
*pouts*
*does Bambi eyes*
uh-oh Fig roll
do you get those ^ in the States?
Just today? =P
I actually love to read Tee. I think I am like you in that when I get into a book that I really love, I am kind of in my own world for the few days it takes me to finish. I just have not read much since starting school because I don’t have a few days to spare and I am already doing way too much reading. So, I mostly just read fan fic at the moment, as it only takes me a little time to get caught up.
I do plan on reading the books when time allows. They must be good to have you both so excited.
No pouting! It’s funny.
A fig roll? Like a kolache or a danish? Yeah.
And does anyone else think it’s weird when moms are crazy over Twilight? http://tinyurl.com/yjoks6a
*glares at MM*
and I do like Simm but like I said before I don’t like Tate on Dr Who *hides*
*remembers Dev aint around*
*comes out of hiding*
Aw, why? Donna’s hilarious, lol.
Can’t believe the next one is on Christmas day. I can’t watch it.
Billie Piper will make up for Tate if you dislike her that much in the next ep, YBN ;)
http://snipurl.com/t9h9c that is a fig roll, Tee.
I saw she was in the next one, my heart sank, but we will watch on Xmas day. I was going through channels last night MM and came across Billie in Mansfield Park, I switched to Hard Candy though.
*snor-ts at MM*
Yes, BG, I am like that. But only with certain books. I can’t remember the last time it happened. It’s been a while.
By the way, YBN, there was nothing to the first 250 pages. But the middle 150 were slow-going yesterday. Not because it was boring, but because there was so much going on.
Oh, yeah, we call those Fig Newtons. I like them.
Aw, is that even any good, Mansfield Park?
I’ve got Hard Candy on DVD. Unless you’re not talking about the movie with Ellen Page, lol.
Yes, she is, but it’s going to be such a confusing episode you won’t even be bothered by her, lol
Tee-ette there is a lot of threads to pull together and remember back too.
I am STILL trying to figure out stuff.
never heard them called that before Tee, just a fig roll here.
Don’t know MM, never seen it. And yes with her, took me a bit to realise it was her and damn freaky movie.
Yes, it does look weird and I am sure I can zone out Tate. Is that Tennant’s last one?
I would pronounce Figuerola as Carola. Just with a ‘figu’ instead of ‘ca’.
It’s the last Tennant 2-parter, yea. First one is X-mas day, the very last one is new years day I believe.
Sad, sad day.
that is how a say it too, Norks.
yes, I like him as Dr Who too and I think Elephant Man is going to kill it, Don’t like the look of the new assistant either, MM.
*I
*high 5’s Packsy*
Am I the last one to see the Janet Jackson flashmob? http://tinyurl.com/yeuz3xa
Kinda cool.
Elephant man? lol.
Karen something? I’m trying not to make a decision now, based on nothing, but I don’t really like them either.
However, at first I didn’t like Tennant, and look how that played out.
good lord I forgot what it was like to be up before the chickens.
Now to go bless folks with my cherry dispositions
Have a good day ladies
I HATE flash mobs, I HATE HATE HATE flash mobs!!
Aaaaaah!!!!!
*flashes self*
See!
You don’t like it either!
*tackles Packs*
*hugs*
that was a flash hug..sans mob..unless others want to join.
Im off to be productive!
I was *high 5′ing* you on the Figuerola thing.
Why do you hate flashmobs?
And *tsk*. Careful. I think the police have already warned you about public nudity.
..everyone except Lars!
*looks down*
Lars, you misplaced them!!!
*shoves roobie back up where it belongs*
*tsk* it needs more up there!!! Norks
I knew Tennant would be perfect from the start although I loved Ecclestone too. Last night was fab for the cheesy effects too, him and Lyndsey Duncan on the “powered up” gadget!
*shields roobies*
Oi, I had my MOM tell me I was looking flat chested this weekend, AND that I have dark circles under my eyes *pouts*
Thanks mom, for the self-image!
*offers “chicken breasts” and cover stick*
and start to worry when your MiL cops a feel and says “yes a little bigger but nice and firm”
I near died and the swede just *chuckled*
*hugs Packsy*
and your mom is just concerned for you but not very good at communicating it.
Pfft, why would she be concerned!
She kept complaining that I was eating too little, I threw back a “Well, I don’t have 4 stomachs to feed like you”.
I would just let her cup a feel, I am used to groping!
so you basicly called your Mommie a cow! Nice!
because she is your mother and you do eat too little *realises what I just said and how I sound like*
*drops in some Jj*
now go and get *groped* some more!
Well, we either call her a cow, a pig or a dog.
Right then she was being a cow.
She calls me a bird or a platypus, and says that I am eating my own children when I eat eggs!
Yes, momma Suzie!
Work. Later.
*slurps jesus juice*
*sees empty carton*
*blinks at YBN*
Gimme some virgin milk…?
*whispas virgins don’t produce milk*
*drops in a pallet of Jj*
Virgin milk is a brand of wine!!!
Mini, can you lick the floor for me?
hahaha no way! really?
no I can’t lick the floor.. I helped you wash it yesterday.. what the hell have you done with it since then?
or do I wanna know?
Doesn’t Liebfraumilch mean virgin milk…?
I’ve padded around it with wet feet, please lick it?
*blinks Dumbo eyes gently*
Can you at least dust the windowsills?
*calls for Nutter*
does it?
I would NEVER buy that Jj anyways. We are upscaling you to £5 bottles.
*uncorks a decent French Chardonnay*
*fans under Norks nose*
I LOVE MY VIRGIN MILK!!
And they cost 70kr here *squints*
Still the cheapest though.
I have a date with a shopping centre, hasta la vista.
Hmm the windowsills I can dust..
Laters!
*whistles while cleaning up Packsy apartment*
Gadget, Gadget! lol.
Be honest. Who did you think she would shoot when she pulled out the gun?
who she did, MM. Shush, spoilers!!!
I knew it was a big mistake as soon as the decision was made.
It was a really good episode.
The swede was “him, I recognise him” at the Asst. Captain, or whatevs, all of a sudden she screamed “Flying Doctors, I loved that show” I find something new out every day!!
No waaaaaaaaaay. You really expected that to happen? Not the other outcome? =P.
Fine fine, I won’t go into details.
I liked how he handled the storyline better than the actual storyline. Thought it’d be scarier.
Ofcourse, I always forget it’s a show that’s aired at 7pm for kids, lol.
hahaha I know the trailer was …..ikes but it didn’t disappoint we were laughing when the first victim was shaking and likened it to Olly on X Factor’s dancing!
no, I know they set it up to seem, you know! but as soon as the gun was pulled I called it, I think you thought the same as the swede!
I.. have no idea who Olly is, but I’ll believe you! lol.
Think we did think the same thing, aye. Wouldn’t have been completely unjustified, if she did.
Although I think they were a bit harsh on him. I hate not being able to explain why, lol. Damn spoilers.
email me MM. I will be there in about a half hr.
I officially LOVE rainstorms in the city! :D
Wow!
That was the most awesome thing in weeks!!!
I’m soaked, but it was so worth it!
I have to work with my Mom again..
Is YBN still trying to say howdy to San Antonio?
Nutter it rained hard here this morning too. And then the sun came out right after. I like it when that happens.
No, but Howdy Tee!!!
I did do a “bye y’all, have a nice day” at the end. Then *chortled*
Was pissing down here all weekend and windy.
Aww, “y’all” was a nice touch. They better have appreciated it!
YBN, do you know who Minnie Pearl was? She had an awesome “howdy!”
Howdy Y’all!
Hard Candy is such a feel-good movie. I’ve seen it, like, three/four times.
The rain was awesome at first, but some areas are getting flooded here, so it kind of takes the fun out of it. Plus it makes it infinitely harder to get up in a morning. :(
Minnie Pearl–Howdy!
(for anyone at work, it’s rather loud. So turn down volume!)
http://tinyurl.com/yj8scua
O_o no who is she?
I vary my y’all too and do different accents.
She was a comedian at the Grand Ole Opry. I think she was on Hee-haw too? I don’t know. Anyway, kind of did what June Carter Cash did–provide some funny bits to the concert. I don’t think she really did very much singing though.
My y’all is always the same. Just “yaw”.
Good God, Wavesy, I was wtf!!! Good on her though!
and hahahaha at Minnie Pearl and Mini.
The y’all/yaw comments are making me think of Rush Hour, :P
The yaw is my favourite to do *nods*
I need to go to the shop. BrB
hmm.. someone needs a walk.. and it isn’t me..
Laters!
What do they say on Rush Hour, Jo? I’ve not seen it.
I wonder what Luva’s “y’all” sounds like. She might not say it anymore after living in Lalaland for so long.
I liked my “have a nice day” as we never say that here.
I also use “your welcome” a lot more now too.
Chan say’s y’all pretty much like ‘you all’, so Tucker is all “no, no, no, no, it’s: *yaw*” but he doesn’t get it, lol.
Hello?
-.-
I say that I hope everyone has a good day all the time.
But pffffffffffffffftt, not saying it anymore!
Why did you not say “you’re welcome” before?
Don’t forget, my judgment is skewed. I say thank you and you’re welcome all day long. =)
hahaha we just don’t say that here, it would be “no problem” normally, when I say “your welcome” folk look at me strangely.
Would you say either, Wavesy?
hi Coach.
Some older southern ladies still say “you all”, Wavesy, especially when scolding a bunch of grandkids *hides* and the like. Most folks just say y’all.
Hey Coach.
I get teased all the time because I am too polite. *squints at tee*
Would I say either no problem or you’re welcome, YBN?
I say you’re welcome and no problem/worries every day, lol.
If you’re asking which I’d say in terms of y’all or yaw: neither. I can’t pull either off in my accent, lol.
I say happy trails everyday while leaving work.
O_O If you took “have a good day” and “you’re welcome” out of my daily conversation, I’d practically be mute!
But no problem is the same. I thought someone would say thank you and you wouldn’t respond. Hahaha!
*squints back*
LOL!
Started reading the book by the way.
Jo! No *LOL’ing*. ;) No, it’s true though. I do say it a ton to donors.
Hey again.
In the west, we usually say “you guys” instead of you all.
Enjoy, Coach!
I’m off to lunch.
I say that all the time BG and every now and again you get the one or two women in the group that gets upset with the term.
Ey yo peoples!
I have seen that too Coach, but I feel pretty stupid saying you gals or something like it. People are too sensitive.
My natural instinct would be youse, yes really!
*ponders* Wavsey’s accent and y’all *chortles*
Off to find something to eat. Later everyone.
It’s not my fault you’re hilarious :P. Aw, well I’m sure they appreciate it ^_^. I hate rude bitches on the phone or in front of you. Like a smile will break their face, or a simple “you’re welcome” will cause them physical pain.
I go out of my way to be incredibly polite to those kinds, though. I hear it pisses them off :D.
I love the word chortle ^_^. And no pondering! I’m sure your accent is just as hilarious saying y’all :P
hahahaha *high 5’s Wavesy*
it is and why I get an *eyebrow raise* when I do it!
For your enjoyment…
http://tinyurl.com/yjm3alw
hahaha and ewwwww BG!
You know who does a good y’all?
Reese Witherspoon. Walk the line.
<3
hahahaha MM THAT is how I say it, on the whole.
Really big ewwwww! ;)
I tend to say a mixture of welcome, no problem and you’re alright in response to thank you.
And I’m sure you’ve figured this but ye and you lot, instead of you all.
Evening ladies.
I was *waiting* for you to come in here and say that, lol.
I agree :D
Hello again! WP is eating my comments again. I think it is all part of the master plan.
You say y’all like Reese does, YBN? In a Scockney accent? =P.
Weeeeeeeell I know you love it too, Joey. =P. Surprised you hadn’t said it yet.
Hows the knee MM?
*chortles at Scockney*
*high 5’s MM*
Better now, thank you ^^. Just a wee bit swollen still. It’s my Achilles heel that hurts like a fucker now. I thought it wasn’t so bad, but it doesn’t agree when someone decided that my heel was the best place for her studs.
Going down the stairs takes ages, but up isn’t as big a problem, lol.
And bypass the opportunity of you popping in to say how you’d pronounce y’all? What do you take me for? :P
Hey Chelle :)
http://tinyurl.com/ygrrc4l
Now that is pure ignorance. The fucker!
Hi Jo. How’s you. You done with the moving yet?
*high 5s the Scockney*
Say “I’m gonna win!” go on, say it. =P. You know what that’s of, before you go all ‘wtf?!’
Lol I’m just your slave, Joey. =P
MM *high 5’s* on finishing your game btw!
Ohhh *high 5s Chelle* thaaaaank you.
Unfortunately not, Chelle. Don’t have a set date to be out of here, so it’s just an “as and when” type move. Taking smaller things down first and the bigger things last. All busy and going away next week, so everything is kind of up in the air.
It should (I hope) be finished the week we get back.
I still need to pack my case, but I doubt I’ll do it until Saturday unless someone makes me, lol.
Finally, she admits it. ;-).
Btw, I’m adding it to the list of words I want you to say when you’re over. :)
I’m just going to be sitting there with a script, aren’t I?
What’s on that list now?
“He says he was me father, he did.”
“Would you like a porky choppy, then?”
“Y’all”
What else? =P
I’ll leave you in suspense for now ;-)
*glares*
Aw, fake-mad. :D
Reese Witherspoon. Walk the line.
*high 5’s* That’s because she’s from the south. She says it proper-like because it’s not fake.
Watch out she might get the Laark out.
That is nice too and makes rainbows!
But I mean, all the traficlights and stuff, create dancing lights on the streets when it rains as much as it did today. It looked so pretty!
hahaha
BG, your link made me discuss Trojan condoms with Anni ^^
We like the name!
“You think they have those with a we horse on the end?” – “I’m pretty sure they do, for the guys with … horse-like penises!”
On meee? Never.
hahaha – sounds like an interesting conversation Peanut!
Yeah, we’re currently thinking aboutguys we know who’d “fit” in one of those ^^
Hmmmm
I have to admit, Ruby Rose is kinda hot …
Who all has birfdays this week?
“Y’all can’t walk no line!”
*in love*
When she says it it sounds so…. hot, lol.
*presses triangle for weapon change*
Ruby Rose is gorgeous, Peanut ^_^
Unamused!
*holds out arms* Fine, kill me. See if I care :@
*jumps all hero like to save Jo*

Mini did the one arm wonder fall asleep?
R2 for shield Jo.
*carries Jo in arms over to safty*
I think so coach..
*presses R2* ^_^
Awww, Mini. You are a sweetheart. <3
Yes she is. *nods*
No, I still say it. Probably the same way as you do. But, like BG said, I did start saying “you guys” instead in LA. We’ve discussed this before.
Kimmy and Yeeben have birfdays this week on the same day!! :-)
Fig newtons are disgusting.
I would pronounce Figeurola the same as the street Figueroa in LA, except with an L.
And Venice promo will be released tonight. Soooo excited!
Hey Spash *Hugs* its been awhile.
*nods* Yes I’m a sweetheart.. =)
*hugs Jo and Coach*
Coachy why are you helping herrrr? *pouts*
*bear hugs Kimmy*
I know. Have any birthday plans?
Sidenote: It feels really weird having two people to call “Kimmy” now.
Maybe because she cares, unlike some <_<
*hugs Mini*
*waves to everyone* See ya later/tomorrow/Wednesday :) xx
Okay I have a furrball that needs a walk..
Laters!
Nobody deserves to be shot with a laark MM. :)
I might go over to the coast not sure just yet though.
*hugs Luva’s amazing memory tightly*
*eats all fig newtons*
I wasn’t going to actually shoot her, Coachy, promise =P.
Good MM!
The coast would be nice. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you enjoy it.
haha, you’re hugging my memory, tee? So you’ve got me in a headlock?
*buys tee extra fig newtons*
share those with Yeebs.
*hugs my Spazzles*
*runs out*
I am making dinner!!!
*imagines an over-muscled fig roll on way out*
Thanks Spash I am sure I will.
Yes, Luva. *kisses forehead*
YBN, there are impressionable young ladies in here!
*looks around* where Tee?
Off to get a smoothie for lunch.
mmm, smoothie sounds good.
*smiles at tee and yeebs*
I’m hungry so I’m off too. Later Pgers!
So I’m back, fom outer space…

how can someone live like that..I would go crazy!
mmm smoothie good
Mini will you tell me a story?
what kinda story coach?
I don’t care any will work. Wait a second why are you up so late?
I was going to bed.. but someone demanded a story..
No its okay you go to bed. I don’t want to be the reason why you don’t get your sleep. Please I put people to sleep very easily just ask the one arm wonder when she wakes up ;)
*sneaks back in*
*hugs Mini* How are you doing today sweetheart?
Hi Coach.
Hey Chelle
What’s up with you? You looking forward to your birthday?
Yes I am. Not much going on with me except that I have been in better spirits as of late. Hows you?
I’m much better then yesterday.. Thanks Chelle *hugs back*
How are you?
I’m off in a few coach..
I’m not great at stories.. I wish you understood Swedish.. ’cause this awesome Handballer, Madde, writes a blog and it is just hilarious.. todays text made me splurt my water.. so I send her a comment, complimenting her on her awesome blog and she sent me a message back.. totally made my day.. =)
Well thats good Mini.
*hugs you* Good!
I’m good, a little bit sniffly as I have a cold at the moment. But thank God work was very quiet today and I wasn’t rushing around as much.
How is the new shift going, you getting used to it yet?
I need new chucks. What color should I get?
YBN, check out #7. Sound familiar?
http://tinyurl.com/mgyy4z
Not really and this is going to be a strange week as I worked yesterday to have Friday off.
That is really great news Mini. I don’t like seeing you upset.
And *high 5’s* at getting the message back.
Have a great day/night my fave ladies..
I’m now off to fight the dog over who gets the most of the blanket..
See you around tomorrow! =)
I know a colour you should get =P
Night Mini! Sleep well.
Nighty night Mini.
I’m sure it will just take some time to get used to it Coach. You still waking up early in the mornings?
Yep I was up at 6 today.

Aw, you must be really tired come the end of the day so. I bet you’re really missing getting home early.

Sorry meant this one.
Yeah I am it really sucks since I had Doctors appointments already set for the after noons and now I have to change my schedule so I don’t have to cancel and wait another month to see the dr.
Is that navy or black, Coach? I do like the darker navy ones.
Amazon doesn’t have very many color options in my size.
YES, my size is small! -.-
Heehee what? =D
That really does suck Coach.
Yes Black. Have the gray and dk navy. Go the Converse website and create your own. I have to wear a 5.5 in mens. Half sized are really hard to find.
Hahaha, I have a pair of navy ones. They are quite nice.
Awwww it’s the miniatures.
Wait, 5.5 in mens is like a six here right?
Or is it a five? I think I’ve confused myself!
Not a clue but will find out.
Looks like it is a size 5. Which makes sense that is the size of my docs.
You know what. ;)
I’m not too big a fan of the black ones, Coach. I have put the navy ones on my wishlist. I think I want new white ones too.
My size is smaller than 5.5. *hides*
My chucks say 6.5 womens is same as 4.5 UK.
Hahahaha that’s cause your only little =D
A friend has the white ones, they are lovely too.
Tee can I just skip the first 100 pages or so?
*high 5’s Coach*
*laughs* me and swede discussed that #7 Tee!!!
and only converse to have is low ankle, black or light grey (for youse!) with the orange stripe through the white bit.
just skip the whole books if you want to Coach.
Awww whats that supposed to mean yeebs?
Not true!
High ankle only!
Vert and I have these http://tinyurl.com/ygwxxz9
I can’t wear the high top ones. :(
if you don’t want to read the first 100 pages, why bother with the rest, was all, Coach.
I wouldn’t!
Low ankle for me too.
*hugs Chelle*
colour?
I have low off-white ones.
*hugs back* Well my favourite ones are my purple ones or my green ones. Though I do love my navy ones as well.
nothing as unoriginal as Chucks.
I don’t like them low ankle.
Convers is always high ankle for me, low are my Vans.
hehehe
And I can beat you at looking “butch”, again, YBN :P
http://tinyurl.com/yjuamxq
Aint that the truth. From my office, I can see three people wearing them.
It got really bad over the years.
I always wore Chucks and been teased for it at school!
When they started to become famous again and everybody wore them, I was like “No way!” O_o
but…but why Nutter?
Why what?
I wear trainers all the time.
At least they’re black!
My feet need to be comfy, I don’t care if people look at me weirdly.
why those jeans, Nutter? *runs*
*squints at Norks*
I have three pairs of Convers and all of them were presents and are over 3 years old!
My shoes have to be comfy too and dark in colour.
My shoes for winter this year are trekking boots I’ve been wearing for 4 years now. I change the sole every year and then they’re almost new ^_^
I like my chucks. They are just plain.
I thought trainers were pants.
hahahahaha
My mom hates those jeans!
I still have them, they’re my fav jeans! But the picture is 4 years old ^^
I don’t wear them that often anymore, cause they are pretty worn out now, but I still wear them in summer :)
People say they suit me, apparently I look very childish and cute in them ^^
Maybe I am wearing pants on my feet.
To be abit more original.
*throws salt in YBN’s eyes*
*sets fire to Jeans*
*side-steps salt*
*does “flicky”*
*pts fire out*
*looks at jeans*
Wow! That’s a cool look!
Thanks, YBN! :D
Okay can I ask a dumb question?
*puts
Sure, Kimmy
Do countries still have laws/rules where men have to complete some sort of military service?
Israel does.
Yes, we have that.
You have to do 6 months in the army, or alternative service.
Norway just stopped that kind of military service law.
*throws Peanut’s jeans in YBN’s eyes instead*
Same effect.
Sweden too.
And what happens if they refuse?
Sorry, Wiki says 9
If they refuse army or get invalided out, they mostly do the alternative service.
All my male friends did that ^^
Some lucky guys get invalided out from both and don’t have to do either.
But there also is a stupid rule saying, if you have 3 sons and the first two didn’t attend the army, the thrid has to. (at least that what Kyuu told me, cause her husband had to do that)
Thanks Peanut. I will add that to my knowledge bank now!
My 2nd cousin got sentenced to jail for not attending the military service.
Tee do People still need to register for the draft here?
Never mind Tee. I just looked it up and it is still required.
It’s pretty easy to get out of it here.
Either you say you’re totally into killing people or you say you’re afraid of guns and stuff ^^
I don’t know if you can get arested for refusing here O_o
A girl I went to school with attened army afterwards, cause now she can study human medicine on their account.
They do offer quite a good education *nods*
Yeah that is why I joined the Military for the school benefits.
People are being turned away from the army here. Mind you, we only do peace keeping duties.
Chelle is that because other jobs are hard to come by?
Not really Coach. I mean yeah there is fewer jobs around now. But there is just no real need for us to have a big army. I know a friends partner got through all the training and tests (It’s actually quite hard to get past all those) and was then told that there was no places available.
Our neutrality just doesn’t call for a large military force.
Okay that makes sense. *does happy dance to learn more* Thanks.
We’re neutral too, but we have an army.
It’s just 65 years ago since last time we were under attack..
Yeah Packsy we’ve been neutral since before WW2. Hasn’t stopped us fighting each other though. We still have an army, just not a very big one.
You’re welcome Coach.
G’night ladies.
Thanks for the knowledge lesson for the day. I gotta go. Night all.
So, of course, I had to come share the Venice promo. I love it. People are CRYING about this right now, including Crystal.

Doesn’t mean they don’t look good. =P.
Haha, Wave.. I’m so late, but no one called me hateful – it’s this asshole on another message board who’s made it his mission toy with me endlessly. He drives me nuts. This last time I tried not to take the bait and said “It must be hard to constantly maintain such a high level of hatefulness.”
He insisted that he didn’t do anything to me and took “offense” to it. I mostly just think he was pissed off that he can never get me to react the way he wants me to anymore. When the admin warned him to shut the hell up (in nicer words, of course..), he proceeded to call me a slut.
I really don’t consider hateful a derogatory word. Plus, you know.. it’s actually true. You wouldn’t believe all the shit he’s pulled in this fandom.
^^
Final figures don’t come out till next week.
Yay.
Nerd!!!!
MM, did you watch Dr Who before Ecclestone?
Eff off, Scockney. =P.
And no, I didn’t. When did the show end? I’m from 1986 you know? =P
Ok, fair enough.
No, I haven’t seen the old series.
Ok, call me mean, but I just saw pictures of people I went to school with and they look really awful O_O
This one girl, a former friend of mine, used to look quite cute, but not anymore O_O
Shoot, i think it ate my post for breakfast!
@Yeebs, re: Homecoming, Part III
You take six weeks to read and comment and you’re prodding me for an update? Ingrate!
MM, Old Doc Who is CONSTANTLY on here on UK Gold, I watch ealy on a Saturday morning the swede even knows who Tom Baker is!
No, PeaNutter, I do that too.
@Dev *flaunts ingrate* and so? I like your Spencer and Ashley, maybe a Xmas update?
I can confirm that I am working on a Christmas thing.
Maaaybe if I had UK Gold I’d see how it is.
There was an actor from the old show at the signing I went to with Camille. I can’t remember his name though. Brigadier I think he played.
YAY *claps* a Homecoming one, Dev?
Oo The Brigadier was quite a big deal in old Doc Who, he was in one of the scariest stories ever for me. With the giant worms.
Lol what ep is that? I’ll youtube it later.
Aye he was. Bless him, alot of people (including myself) had no clue who he was. Everyone went to see Camille.
Nah, that was just a little one-shot. No, it’s a proper, crappy, sappy, hackneyed, Hallmark-Christmas-movie piece of festive fluff.
And I have to go. Bye.
I have no clue MM. It was with Tom Baker and Sarah-Jane.
A lot of the epis with The Brigadier are really weird and VERY sci-fi’sh
Later, Dev =P.
Ah. Which one was Tom Baker again? Number Doc, I mean =P.
I thought he was later on but his “Half a dozen times” quote to Sarah Jane makes me think different.
I’m sure Google can help me with search term “Doctor Who Tom baker giant worms”, lol.
afternoon!
soon off to work.. Today I’m bringing a movie.. with me..
it just rains and is crappy outside and I’m starting to get tired off it..
so I felt like a cozy movie time at work.. =)
Okay off now.. Laters! =)
Wow … hahahaha
My mate just pulled a bottle absinth out of his bag, that they’re drinking now … In class ^^
I love these people ^^
Yeah, cause that’s SO cool.
No, cause they’re even more crazy when drunk.
I’m just watching them, it’s amusing ^_^
I hope they’ll get suspended.
No, it’s allowed ^^
What ya doing, Packsy?
WHAT, it’s allowed to DRINK in school???
I’m freezing on my toes.
Yep, we shared some with our prof too ^_^
*puts kitties in Packs shoes*
Only in germany.
I’m not wearing shoes, who’s shoes are you putting the kittens into!!
That… can’t be right. Surely you can’t drink in school.
*puts kettle on for Packs*
*looks suspiciously at kettle*
How are you planning to use that, Stef..
We’re a creative school, our prof says everything that raises our creativity is allowed *shrugs*
To put the hot water in the bowl for your feet?
Stop being so suspicious. =P
Can you do drugs in school too, Peanut?
Pot?
Kill someone?
Hang yourself for ‘the art’?
That might be abit TOO hot, Stef!
I think better with cold feet.
Something BIT my back!!
*scratches frantically*
*eyes plant*
I’m pretty sure there are some people here who smoke pot on a regular basis ^^
We had someone freaking out and leaving the school through the window, last semster.
But she’s in therapy now ^^
Stop being a baby, I wouldn’t boil it all the way.
Good, Stef. Cause i would scream and make it scold your face if you did *blinks*
I am reading about Evo Morales.
Pot only produces paranoia and schizofrenia.
Oi. That’s what I get for trying to be nice? *pouts*
Afternoon, ladies.
Packsy, maybe change your sheets just in case the bug is in your bed? I doubt it’s in the plant.
Good lord, Nutter.
We’re ground floor, Tee.
She didn’t hurt herself, she just jumped out and ran home.
She had a wee paranoia issue …
It’s not in my sheets *squints*
It’s in the plant.
I am sure.
*squints more at plant*
It produces annoying flies.
Are you implying I don’t change my sheets enough, Tee?
*squints more*
*hugs stef*
Thank you, but I am so used to you being evil to me that it will take ALOT of time before I will trust you to be only nice.
Bet she was smokin’ pot, Peanut.
MM, just leave the water outside her door. *whispers* Bugs!
Still, Peanut. Paranoia/pot whatever. That had to have been a sight!
No, Packsy, I know you’ve got a washing machine. That you use. I’m just saying it might have been in your clothes. And the plant “produces” flies, because it’s wet and an inviting place for mommy flies. Those flies don’t bite.
Speaking of biting insects, how’d you do in South America? Any bug stories?
I resent that! I’m hardly ever evil to you. *smiles*
Almost, Packs ^^
But no, she has a metabolic disorder that affected her mind.
You’re mostly evil to me, Stef.
I am scared of using my washingmachine now, after it moved across my bathroomfloor yesterday.
My plant isn’t wet. It’s dry as a fucking desert.
WHY do you want me to relive the horror of South American bugs!!!! Jungle was fine, it was Maccu Picchu that ate me up.
I am never tanning there ever again.
I have a metabolic disorder that infects my feet. That is why they’re cold *nods*
-.- Then it really doesn’t have bugs.
And ask Chelle why the washing machine moves…
You should put more socks on.
As if.
Your washing machine moves…?
It moves like a crazy person, vibrating like something in YBN’s nightstand drawer!
Is Shell a professional washing machine fixer? *hopes*
I feel incredibly geeky for following the WC in Chess on live chat *hides cheeks*
Hahaha, nice. Does it glow in the dark too?
No, Shell’s work is haunted!
She’s either going to kill you for that, or laugh at it. Depends on her mood ;).
I wanna learn chess. Someday I will. Just like someday I’ll own a proper poker table, lol.
She is just gonna tell me it’s not in her nightstand drawer she hides it.
*whisper* but that’s where she hides her Ba Wa balls!
Haunted? O_O Explain?
I hate ChinaChess, I ALWAYS lose.
I bet she can find it without it being glow-in-the-dark, Tee.
..
Wait, now I think I know where she hides it!!!
O_O_O
Shell will say later. I’ve probably already said too much!
What does the ChinaChess board look like? I think we call it something else.
Chinese Checkers, Tee.
We used to play it at the cabin with my friend’s mom, I ALWAYS ALWAYS lost *grumps*
*coos for Shell to come*
That’s what I thought. I can’t win at it either and I don’t know why. I think I spend too much time *jumping*. Maybe you and I should play each other. That way, one of us could win once.
Oi I don’t have a nightstand and remember we have a cleaner, she is nosy!
go back to your chess geeks
*furtively checks 5 tonne safe*
http://tinyurl.com/yjotsep
Here ya go, Packs =P
I think you are just walkin around with it all the time, Suzie!
That might be why you always have that stick up your… *refrains from saying something..*
*blinks*
No, I will not let you win Tee, cause you would and then I’d be the only one who always loses *sooobs*
Why are you showing that to ME, Stef?
WHITNET HOUSTON IS COMING TO NORWAY!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*fans self*
HooooooO!!!
*fans self more*
Thought you’d enjoy that, Packs.
Although, you wouldn’t fit in it. Bump your head all the time =P
awwwww that’s the nicest thing you have ever said to me, Norks.
*waggles stick*
*rummages in safe*
*pulls out gift*
*hands to Norks*
don’t worry it is still in it’s packaging!
you should stalk her Norks, I am sure she would like that. Maybe share some “candy” and assistants with you.
Oh, I found out how to record PS3 game footage, Packsy.
Impressive use of the exclamation point.
REALLY; Stef?!? I don’t care about what happens, I just want the voices! Pleeeaaase!
I don’t need a hamster cage, I can just use the ice outside, I walk and walk but still stand on the same place *pouts*
No thank you, Suzie, I’m fine without the stick.
*looks around*
And Stef already has one.
*starts stalking Whitney online*
WHAT’s this, twitter?!?!
*stops stalking Whitney*
It is exactly 36 characters, Tee.
*hopes to make Dev proud*
MM do NOT feed her that footage.
*tweaks Norks stick*
Lol I won’t, YBN.
I said I found out how, not that I could.
Need a cable of some sort before I can.
Why don’t you want me to know, YBN, it’s not like you’re playing!!
*slaps YBN away from stick*
It’s the one I fly on!
Hahaha, yes, I know. I figured Dev’s praise is what you were after. Maybe you’ll get it…
I better fucking get it, or I’ll do 37 exclamation points next time!!
*counts 36 characters*
*pats Packsy on the head*
Well done, little one. Well done.
Aww, that’s no way to get praise. Settle down, Goatita.
YBN, I’m into the last 100 pages now.
Off to work. Later.
*smiles appreciatively at Dev*
See, I got the praise!!
*glares at Tee*
Did you just call me a goat tit?!
Does that not mean little goat in Spanish?
Morning
My Quote of the day from Robert Brault.
Our most difficult task as a friend is to offer understanding when we don’t understand.
That is cause it’s CRAP, Coach!
Understanding is overrated.
Arguing is underrated!
We’re not all blessed/cursed with a gob like you, Packsy.
Not all of us can argue our way out of anything ;).
No, thank god, cause that would’ve been awfully annoying for me.
*quacks with beak*
I am a Platypus, hear me quack!
*nibbles on Stef’s Ps3 controller*
*high 5s Packsy*
The Dev family motto: a friend in need is a pain in the fecking arse.
You should totally make some beaks out of paper, put them on, and take a picture. Upload it on MyStalk. *nods*
Er… don’t drool on it, Packsy. It’s the only one I have =P.
Hahaha, a friend in need is one who will never pay you back!
Some friends are more expensive than others.
*hatches at Stef’s PS3 controller*
Dev, if you ever get sick of your Wii, I know someone in Norway that you could donate it to.. *blinks Dumbo eyes softly*
I won’t upload porn for you, Stef.
I just came up with an idea that will make me earn billions.
Glasses that clean themselves.
*hides games console behind back*
Wii? What Wii? This? Oh, this is… um… This is specialist medical equipment. Too high-tech to explain.
*high 5s Stefje*
Those last two lines make me think of BTVS Faith.
I love Placebo ^_^
Why did Faith wear anything but leather? Those legs… <3
*crawls between Dev’s legs, looks up behind back*
*tugs at cable*
Looks like a Wii to me.
Let me look!
*tugs harder*
Why is a friend in need supposedly a friend indeed?
I’ve always taken that to mean that if someone needs something from you, they will be nice to you to get it.
Is that not right?
It’s a misunderstanding of the aphorism. What it actually means is:
A friend who helps you when you are in need is a friend indeed.
It does not mean:
A friend who comes crying to you like a little bitch is a great friend.
you lot aren’t very nice are youse!
I was thinking of it like Tee too.
Makes more sense to me now!
Thanks, Dev.
*whispers* although Tee’s version is more usual!
Ah. Haha, yes, your way makes more sense.
*cries like a little bitch to Dev*
Yes, I know Tee’s version is what people think it is, but that doesn’t stop the real version from being true!
Evening!
What are we not nice about this time, YBN, and you are one to talk, you are only nice to Dorothy!!
pffftt I am nice to evebody but you!
I will adnit that after about 3 repeat mistakes I tell them to fuck off when they come running for advice/sympathy.
Tee, you’re an American female. Even coming from your part of the world, I would expect you to be a helluva lot more in touch with your feelings than a Scot.
[In other words, I expect all Americans to cry like little bitches, even the boys.]
I think the real version is true, but kinda sappy. I’d never say that in earnest.
Hiya Mini.
Of COURSE I am in touch with my feelings!
*weeps with joy with male co-worker*
*high 5s Tee*
See? Everything I suspected about you people is true.
I have never seen an american cry in real life.
..
I can’t remember seeing a Scot cry either.
.
.
Have I ever met a Scot? *ponders*
I guess I am better off not!
*notes down* “make two mistakes of the same kind, then go running to Suzie for wine.”
“You people” = y’all, right? ;)
We have a class for young doctors here. They come to my work and look at portraits to learn how to read facial expressions. It is supposed to help them with bedside manner. They fight to get into the class and I am amazed. Does medical school make you forget how to read people?
I have seen loads of Americans cry in real life. I have even made a couple cry. They hug in public and everything, Norkski! It’s unseemly.
*high 5’s* Sooooo NOT surprised at that.
What is wrong with hugging in public?!?!
Hugging in public is unseemly?
*thinks* Don’t come here, Dev =P
Yes. Completely. Unless you’re Sezje. They are taught to read symptoms, to weigh up scientific evidence. Many of them stop seeing the person behind the casenote.
Oh I may have made a ‘Murican cry, actually a few!
Norks, you know I kid, right? *wonders if buttering up worked* You’re on babysitting duty again for a bit, okay? I’m off to the pub for a swift half.
My BiL must have the worst bedside manner ever, his gf I would never let near me for treatment as she is a walking disaster.
I was kind of exaggerating for comedic effect, but you don’t get a lot of men hugging in the street here. Even ones who are related.
HUgging!!! *shudders*
A handshake is more than enough physical contact to last for months.
I haven’t really made anyone cry.. *ponders*
Wait, no I ate some kid’s waffle once, she started crying.
So the process of diagnosis and treatment makes them forget they are dealing with a person. I get it. That class is always full.
Oh, guys don’t hug each other here too much either. It’s more of a simultaneous handshake and pat-on-the-arm thing.
I *hug* everyone.
*hugs Packsy*
*hugs again*
Anyone who invades my personal space and isn’t
1. MrsDev
2. My father
3. A child under the age of 10 of my personal acquaintance
4. A qualified clinical professional undertaking an examination or treatment
had better duck because I will punch them.
[I would probably make an exception for Sezje because I would fear for my life if I ever tried to evade a hug from her.]
I hate PDA.
Anyway, must dash. Tomorrow, people x
Well, of course, I wouldn’t hug a stranger. But folks I know, I hug.
*hugs dev*
Sorry.. I had a little chat I needed to put my ful atention on..
I love seeing two people hug and you can tell they really mean it. It’s cute.
Seeing people making out in front of everyone just annoys me, though.
Hugs are fine by me.. but yeah.. makeing out in the middle of the town.. Not my thing..
Mini, we are having our first cold day today. I have a sweater on and everything! It is supposed to warm up tomorrow though.
I miss wearing sweaters :(
Who the hell misses wearing sweaters!!!!
EWWWWWW
I refuse to wear sweaters, and instead just wear woolunderwear. always.
Except right now.
*blows raspberry at Tee*
good for you tee.. I look like I’m heading to the northpole everythime i walk out the door.. :P
I miss wearing sweaters because I have them and never wear them
Haha Mini, d’ya look like a little eskimo?
SHELL!
Now, tell me the secret to a less vibrating washing machine.
*takes all of Iocaste’s sweaters*
*donates to Tanzania*
I have heard you can dress the heat out.
kinda Chelle.. kinda.. =)
Tell the ghost lady to get out of it Packs!
oh! in Tanzania? Do they need sweaters in Tanzania?
Iocaste, there are good mountains in Greece, right? Does it get cold there?
*wraps Packsy in wool thread*
Mini, I had on two pairs of socks this morning. Heehee. I’m so ill-prepared for cold weather.
Tell Chelle!
two socks? I’m still barefoot..
Yes, Mini! *wraps own feet in wool thread*
Yes of course it gets cold here it’s just that we’re in a period where the weather is still warm although it snowed in some areas two weeks ago.
It is still warm overall here too. It won’t get cold here until January. And even then, it’s not really cold.
Okay so, at the end of every day when we only have a couple of kids left we usually tidy everything up and stack up all the chairs and stuff, turn the lights off and head up the top of the hallway to the front door where there is a big couch and wait for the last parents to arrive.
A couple weeks back I was on the late shift in work and was closing up with a friend. We were sitting down reading to the kids when there was an almighty thumping (seriously this weren’t no little bang) sound come from the end of the dark hallway we had just left. I just thought it was me and put it down to myself imagining things as I had heard stuff in there before and no-one else had. That was until I turned to my friend who was sat there wide eyed and asked if I had heard it. We tried egging each other on to go and look but neither of us did. We tried rationally thinking that it was probably the washing machine or drier blowing up or something but were not taking a chance in looking (we were freaked out it was really dark and windy out which just made it creepier).
There is a typical legend around here about a woman drowning in the river beside where I work, hence Tee’s crack about the woman in the washing machine.
It’s just not the first time I’ve heard stuff happening in there without anyone being around.
*whispers* sorry for the book ^^
nope tee.. not really..
I still think you should come here..
Here weather is quite fickle. We have cold currents from the north and warm ones from Africa, so one day you are wearing t-shirts and the other day it snows. I don’t know it’s weird. Generally it’s warmer in the south.
haha we have a ghost in the attick at work..
It’s damn freaky Mini!
I would love to see that!
Chelle, people “see” the lady?
Iocaste *high 5’s* us too.
Buy me a ticket, Mini? *blinks eyes gently like Dumbo*
I might do that Tee.. =)
I’m still waiting for you to get here too Chelle..
When we were kids we had some older ones tell us that they had seen her but I think that was all crap they fed us to keep us away.
It’s a weird part of town though as well which adds to the whole thing.
Chelle! Just because I start *shivering* if the thermometer gets below 30, doesn’t mean I couldn’t survive in Sweden…with Mini supervising me.
*ponders* Why does Tee’s Dumbo eyes work but Packsy’s doesn’t? =P
Aww, someday Mini =)
you could borrow my big winterjacket Tee.. it fits like 5 people and It makes me sweat when I wear it in -30.. then i think you would survive..
*whispers* give her two Mini and she might be okay ;)
haha Chelle.. it was effin’ expensive. I can’t afford it.. :P
-30? *faints*
yeah.. then it’s alittle cold.. the snot in your nose freezes.. not a nice feeling.. and your skin tickles alittle..
Haha we could start a ‘keep Tee warm’ PG fund Mini.
Just put it up next to Packs pile of them =)
Mini! Don’t go out in that! It doesn’t sound very nice.
Pffffffft! No way I’m doing -30.
*books flight to Greece*
*grabs Mini’s big coat*
what? I have to walk Chomper..
*cooks soup* ;)
*waits for tee*
you’d probably need your bathing suit rather than mini’s jacket.
*rips Tee’s eyes out*
DON’T USE MY ONLY WEAPON!!
Soup?
*sees Tee flying past Ireland in a rush to get to Iocaste*
*giggles with glee over Dumbo eyes that actually work*
Mine! Mine! Mine!
Mmmm….soup….
*gives packsius a new jj bottle*
You don’t even have blue eyes!!!!
And they look nothing like Dumbo!!
Maybe one of the seven dwarves, but NOT Dumbo!!
*watches wierdos*
Chelle, you single?
That I am Mini.
*puts peanuts up Dumbo’s “trunk”*
*flaunts eyes*
hmmm.. okay, thanks for the info..
*hugs Mini*
So how is things with you today?
I’m pretty much okay now..
you?
Eeeeeeeeewwww, Tee, I hope I mistunderstood that!! O_O_O
I am so hungry I am almost eating my ears.
*eyes Iocaste*
I’m not food!
Okay I’m off for a walk. be back in a bit!
*rams Ben Wa balls in Tee’s eyesockets*
*draws on blue eyes*
your welcome
why do my friends think it is okay to tell me way too much detail regarding their sexual habits?
*rocks and sobs in corner whilst imagining poppy fields in the summer*
Good, apart from the fact I feel the constant need to sneeze. I had a really good day in work. The kids seemed especially funny, one or two in particular.
And good that you are okay now.
Talk to you later.
Do you actually have a trunk?! And, yes, I think you took that a bit farther than I intended.
-.-
God help ya Yeebs, I couldn’t deal with it.
I did actually *spurt* my Jj when she told me and needed a slap on my back before I near choked to death.
Chelle have you seen about the new JEdward claims of cheating?
*sees things I shouldn’t*
I feel your pain yeeben. I had a friend calling me at 1 am to describe me her sexscapades with every detail!
No, whats up now? Tell me!
Sounds like a lovely wake up call iocaste. Poor you.
Tell me, YBN, I want to know!!!
What’s this..
*rips at thread between Tee’s new Ben Wa eyes*
Oops!
What the hell did you mean at trunk then, Tee!
Iocaste, tell me your story too!!
Or I will eat you!
I don’t mind detail if vanilla but ewwwwwww
Are ‘Muricans obsessed with the British class system? They are claiming this on a show and following a droup of ‘Murican girls to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot as it is supposed to sophistivated and classy
Last time I was at that it was full of REALLY drunk slappers puking everywhere and trying to pull a rich boyf by giving indiscriminant BJs.
I even saw one girl grab her hat off and be sick in it.
*feels eyes move independently* Aaaaagggghhhhh!
FFS, your nose!
In short, yes. We know nothing of royalty over here. Folk get easily obsessed with moncarchy, princesses, etc. I’m surprised you haven’t experienced it already.
I am off in search of some food and a shower. Back later.
Norks you will just go ewwwww and it will put you off your dinner. Let’s just say it was about an infection, how she got it and enforced abstinance.
Chelle, they had their microphones so low on Saturday that what we could hear were the vocals on the backing track more. I thought they seemed a lot better
Hahaha really? I thought they seemed better too!
Not really Tee. I have been asked questions regarding the Royals and stuff but I not too much. I guess they get put off my my “humphhhhh that lot of freeloaders” and decide I may not be the best person to ask.
I have never been asked about the class system though.
ewww! Mine was also about a gynaecological situation but then she got carried away…
Thank god we got rid of our royalties for quite some time now…Bastards!
Oo some other ‘Muricans have gone to spend a night at a haunted castle now.
This could be funny.
Oh, maybe I am wrong. Tell me what you mean by class system.
I would *burst out laughing* to hear you say that to someone here.
I know Iocaste, we got one of your “finer” specimens in the stupid, racicst, mysoginistic arses in Philip. Thanks for that!!!
I know and you’re welcome! :)
And by the way the Greek royal family was imported from Bavaria and Danemark.
quote from show
Presenter – “so the castle was built in 1678″
‘Murican – “Oh my god, my mind boggles at the thought of standing in millions of years of history”
hahahaha they are actually quite funny.
Upper, Middle and Lower classes, Tee. Lower class is generally referred to as working class. There is still a class system here but nowhere near as pronounced as say Brideshead Revisited days.
The general thrust of the show is more to do with how the UK generates Tourism with the States.
our lot are German.Thanks for that too, Nutter!
I don’t mind the Swedish Royals, they seem ok.
That’s cause you’ve probably done Victoria back in the day.
We got the danes, as our royals died in the black plague.
*whispers* okey they married out*
back again!
-.- Crying shame.
Though it does say how little history we have as a country. There is no structure in Texas built before 1800. There are very few structures in the whole country built before 1700.
We have those classes here! What Murican said we didn’t? Believe me. As a member of the working class, I deal with the upper class every day.
Honestly Tee they are just super excited by it all. I get it, we Brits are way too blase about the history we have here.
I AM reserving judgement though as a clip from teh next part has some Scandis dressed in Scottish Highland dress.
*squints*
O_O
*hurriedly takes of Highland dress*
*whistles innocently*
*oggles naked Packsy*
*blinks embarrassingly*
I might’ve oogled an underwear add a bit too closely..
MINI!!!!
*hides private bits*
Stop looking!!!
What?
okay fine..
*turns around*
Okay Bedtime!
Night night!
Castles, afternoon tea parties, Americans, Scandis, highland dress. What the hell show is this?
First I was like … “NO you didn’t, Tee!”
But yeah, I get it, you didn’t mean me :P
Hahaha, Nutter, I didn’t even think about that! Sowwy. =)
I lost an iPod….
O_O THE ipod?!
Not THAT Ipod, right Stef?! O_O
Haha never! That’s in a safe place =P
Phew!
Not to worry ;)
I just re-watched that Lindsay Lohan fake dating video on funnyordie.com. It’s funny no matter how many times I watch it, lol.
Okay so I know this is a bit late. But I have been thinking about it and have come up with 10 deceased famous people I’d like to have dinner with. Some might not be famous to ye but they are to me =)
1. Michael Collins
2. Padraig Pearse
3. W.B Yeats

7. Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley (cause you can’t have one without the other and I’m not using up two spots =P)
8. Mother Theresa
9. James Dean
10. Luke Kelly
And yes I know it’s very Irish but if I’m honest this is what I’d like =)
but…..but….were is Ronan Keating?
who is Luke Kelly.
Tee, that show had the Henderson’s from North Carolina at Edinburgh castle that they described as “neat” the dad got dressed as the Clan Chief and looked dapper.
Wiki says Luke Kelly was a descendant of the MacDonald clan!!!!!
And I am Mo T, Chelle. Come to Texas. We will have Tex-Mex.
Hahahaha funny Yeebs!
Luke Kelly was an Irish folk musician. Lead singer of The Dubliners.
Oh yeah forgot about that! =D
Who are the Hendersons from NC? Like Henderson Farms Chicken?!
Did my peeps embarrass me?
Dana too Chelle? Niall Quinn would be good. I know of the Dubliners as my granda used to play them but didn’t know their names.
Nah just ordinary folk, Tee. They were researching their family, they were fine enough although the stereotype of Scots being tight with money by the presenter annoyed!
*opens wallet*
*ponders if olde pounds are still valid*
Dana irritates the fuck out of me Yeebs. I always feel the need to tell her to speed it up a bit.
Don’t you mean “Ye Olde Pounds”?
Ugh, I sooo regret lunch.
just drop a bit extra in her dinner, Chelle, sorts the problem.
I have Thatcher on my list exactly for that reason.
*eyes champagne in fridge*
*double checks “drnk by date”*
mmnnnnnn getting close
*ponders stomping on balloon near Thatcher*
Can you stomp on one near Sarah Palin?
Haha thats certainly one way to do it Yeebs.
she isn’t as in-firm, Tee, it probably wouldn’t work.
*ponders*
*scribbles “Hunting Accident in Alaska” on List of things to do*
Oh. We’re hyphenating to-nite.
*squeee-es!*
Folk never believe when I say I have a bottle of DP in my fridge for when Thatcher kicks it.
IF they come to visit I open the fridge and they see the bottle with a label on the bottom with “Thatcher D.R.I.P” and a line for the date.
O-h “The Darjeeling Limited” is just starting, yay!
That is different from the Norski Drip, right?
*high 5’s Yeebs*
Oh and I would actually quite like to meet Niall Quinn he’s a decent lad.
pfffttt the Norski would go into shock if she was dripped with champagne.
*ponders*
he does so too, Chelle.
What you think about tomorrow night? Think we can do it? :)
God, I so hope so Chelle. I have nobody to support otherwise.
The first goal is crucial.
Have you got no strikers with any height? I thought Keane and Doyle are too similar. I would also be tempted to play McGeady too as he has that flash of brilliance at times, maybe as a sub if still 0-0
That’s really what we need Yeebs. We always did well when we had Niall Quinn up front.
I think the tallest one we have is Caleb Folan but he hasn’t got much International experience.
McGeady is an extremely good player but the reason he’s been missing out a starting position to Liam Lawrence is for the defensive duties. He’s an awesome player to bring off the bench though(well by Irish standards anyway).
I really really hope we can pull it out of the bag Yeebs. I would love if we were in another world cup, the country really goes crazy.
But we are in the same situation as we would be in if we had scored one at Croke Park as we would still need to score an away goal.
Quinn was a great player *nods*
Folan….Folan…*thinks* isn’t he with Hull? Mmmnnnn well maybe stick with Doyle and Keane. I was impressed by that Whelan one the other night too.
O’Shea needs to get forward more if Lawrence is playing. Is Killbane still at left back? I usually loke him but as LM, he wasn’t great the other night.
And O_o I think I just ruined a surprise for the weekend. Damn me!
Thank feck these two are gone. Now, I can stop reading about them in the paper!
http://tinyurl.com/yj9q4d4
I’m off. Night, ladies.
Yep, that’s right Yeebs, he plays for Hull.
I thought that Whelan and Andrews were extremely good the other night in midfield. They really impressed me big time.
Kilbane usually does a very good job while in the Irish shirt, he always puts his heart and soul into it(even though he gets a load of stick). But I’m the same about the other night. I can’t remember much of what he did all night.
Was it a big surprise YBN?
yeah Andrews was good too, I thought. I think Killbane was just out of position was all.
Mmmnnnn I will play dumb and pretend I didn’t see the text that the swede got, I checked it as she is asleep. It was from our hotel confirming they have our tickets for the opera and the restaurant booked for Saturday night.
And you think she won’t see through you? You’re going to have to practice that surprised face now. Y’know that right?
Oh God, don’t make it worser Chelle. I can never lie to her, ughhhh!
*practices eyebrow raise, clappy hands and feigned surprise, plaster big grin on too*
ughhhhh!
Yeah, she’s gonna know. Poor you.
Nice surprise though eh? Thats a pretty great girl ya got there. When are you gonna be leaving.
Of course she will. She will either say to me first thing tomorrow “you saw that text, huh” or we will play the “I know that you know” game!
She is pretty awsome. I maintain I hate Opera but I think I may be ready to change my mind, as never been before. I am just dead shocked that she arranged something and didn’t even hint at it!
We go on Friday evening.
Oh my God, I just checked and it is Madame Butterfly too, even I know that one!
Well then *high 5’s the swede* for getting it past you. Well until now that is =P She was so close too!
Ah so it’s going to be a long weekend?
I know, she can never get anything past me either. Damn it. I just checked as was worried it may be important too.
Yep, looking forward to it sooooo much now.
The swede is trying to do something on the notebook that we can get X Factor *chuckles* if not we will “plus” it. I will avoid all papers and stuff until after. Yes, we are that sad!
Yeebs you’ll have a great time.
Hahaha obsessed much? You can avoid all the newspapers but someone will slip up before you get to see it, or you’ll probably hear it on the radio.
We will, I am a good traveller when with the swede.
Nah we will do it. I predict Lloyd and JEdward up.
*sighs* Hopefully Lloyd and then the twins next week.
I am off now Yeebs. Have a good night and good luck in the morning.
OK, I finished. No spoilers here, I am just VERY upset that there isn’t another book coming out. Not that the story isn’t complete, but just that I will miss it. And I can see room for future books that will never be written. Enjoyed every single second of it though. Definitely worth the read.
Someone get me some coffee. *faceplants on desk*
Here.
*pours coffee all over Stef*
Cheers for that. My white top isn’t white anymore =P.
D’ya mind pouring some in a cup, too?
My bad, but it didn’t say cup on the receipt.
That’ll be 5£ more.
Like I have quids lying around =P.
*hands over 5 euro cent.*
That’s all you’re getting.
Be glad I’m not sueing you for the top fiasco
Oops, that was not the € sign, sorry.
WAIT!
5 euro CENT?!??!?
NO WAY!
*spills cup over Stef’s back*
Hello Mother Theresa’s of the world!
*takes all of Packsy’s wine*
Drastic measures. My top’s ruined now. You’re playig dirty. One of my favorite tops =(.
Morning Mini. Surely you don’t mean the devil over there *points at Packs*
*blinks überinnocently*
I am here, Mini, I am here..!
*secretly squints at Stef*
We must rid this world of poverty and winestealers!
*tackles Stef*
oO.
Oi, get off me.
*rubs strawberry cheese cake in Packsy’s face*
Cheese…Cake? Cheese… And cake!?
*waits for UK people to come online and get that joke*
sorry.. I got sucked into the handball world.. dangerous place..
Dangerous, really? =P.
My cousins’ handball game was on telly last week.
Bread? Wi’ garlic?
Lol *high 5s Dev*
Garlic? And Bread?
I only understand what he says half the time, but it’s always funny, lol.
The dancing at the wedding is the best.
I do like his live stuff, but nothing matches the genius of Phoenix Nights. I have been in those sort of clubs and that is exactly what they’re like.
world championship is comeing up.. today “my” team has the last league game before the break..
and it’s a though one. and the best player is out with an injury. gonna be a hard game.
Which is your team, kiddo? I feel like I should already know the answer to this, but I’m afraid I don’t.
I don’t think I’ve seen that, Dev..
Actually, I’ve only seen the one with the wedding dancing…
my team is called.. FC Midtjylland Håndbold.. but for short it’s just FCM.. =)
Although I would heartily recommend that you buy the DVDs and support Channel 4 and Peter Kay, you can find whole eps of Phoenix Nights on the Tube of You, by starting here.
Mini, that’s Gro and Katya’s team, yes?
yep.. there is where Gro and Katja play.. this season they also have Denmarks new sweetheart Lærke
Møller.. and alot of great players.. =) they are now 2 in the league.. =)
Tsk, linking people to watch things without paying for it Dev!!
Where is your moral!
Hush, Packs. *shoves more cheese cake into Packsys face*
Igh -.-
I have to do the reception for an hour -.-
Hopefully nobody calls or wants something -.-
*calls Germany*
HallO!!! Klaschke meine schinke, bitte!!
lol
You should totally call and keep the line busy ^^
Pff, I am busy eating an omelet, watching 7th heaven, and following Chess!!
The norski 18yr old is winning!
Afternoon to you all.
What are you learning on 7th Heaven, Packsy?
Hey, I’ve bought all of Peter Kay’s DVDs and I did suggest that Stefje might want to pay for it, too. This way, she can try before she buys.
May was ‘accidentally’ hit by her boyfriend, and the mother is telling her kids to forgive him!
Way to advocate wifebeating!!!
Hmmm, ok … Save some of thet omelet for me. I haven’t eaten anything today, yet O_O
You wanna call and entertain me, dev? ^_^
I watched half of the first episode, Dev. I didn’t understand every 5th sentence or so. What accent is that?
And ugh, at 7th Heaven. I can’t believe you’re watching it, Packsy. Unless you’re watching it to get riled up.
It’s cause it is the only thing on tv, Tee, and I don’t have the tv turned toward me.
Just backgroud noise.
Sorry Peanut, I just ate it all up and did the dishes!
I need to do the floor too *pouts*
Why, gravity, WHYYYYYYY do you have to make the breadcrumbles fall on the floor!!
Ooooh, now it’s Pink Panther!
Cartoon ofcourse, I am NOT watching that other shit.
Phoenix Nights is set in Bolton, Tee, which is a little bit north of Manchester. I’m not great with English geography, but I think that makes it a Lancashire accent.
Dev, oracle of all knowledge:
Can you bleach fake teeth? Porcelain and plastic?
7th Heaven is the only thing on Norwegian television? We’re all fecked.
Ah, Manchester. That’s like the woman who sat by me on the way back from DC then. She must have been consciously simplifying words for her ‘Murican cousin while we chatted.
No, you can’t, Packs.
I can confirm that my mother leaves her false teeth in bleach.
No, we do have Home and Away too, which is on right now.
Norski won!!!!!!!!
.
.

…is it wrong that following chess is just as fun as following footie? O_O
It says it’s possible if you go to a dentist, Peanut! I need to change my plastictooth anyway, and fix my porcelain one.
*pouts*
