Where is our budding journalist these days, anyway?

I should think so - if you've not opened it already.

Me too. I had a bit of an adventure to Brazil all planned out a couple of years ago but circumstances meant that I didn't end up going. I'd still like to do it eventually though and I'd also like to see some more of South America. There's parts of North America I'd like to go to including re-visiting NYC and New England, and various cities I'd like to visit including Paris, Vienna, Florence etc.. Anywhere's an adventure IMO anyway....

I've seen Lewis Guy play a few times for our reserves and he looked like he could be a handy player. Bit of a shame about City like - couldn't have happened to a nicer set of fans (with a couple of individual exceptions)

We normally meet around 1, Lou.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with blokes carring lypsyl. I don't carry anything in my pockets cos I'm a girl. I do have one of them Mary Poppins handbags though which is very small but contains everything from my purse/phone/keys to a hatstand and full-length mirror.

Agree. But what's much more of a pain in the arse is the people who post and tell uz THYRe rrreelllay pppsssssssssd and TOO P--ro00vve so woLLLL TYPpe wreeaaly ba dyly! Looc Iymmmmmmso ps-55sed. (this phenomenon was seen on the 'other side' from time to time and I am pleased to say I can't recall seeing it on here since we 'came home') 36396[/snapback] The aforementioned evening when SLP was on here absolutely hammered out of his tree has got to be the single most hilarious evening I've ever had the pleasure to be present for on this board.

Could be worse Cath considering some of the jobs nurses are required to do! 36375[/snapback] You can't really write a 10,000 word dissertation on cleaning up poo though really. Thankfully it's not something I have to do often in my current job. Gone are the days when this nurse mops brows and cleans up shit - I do the slighly more technical side of nursing now.

My word. It's almost as bad as Sammy's highlights!

The dissertation is the only bit I have left to do of my B.Sc. but I'm procrastinating like ferk over it. Because it's a nursing degree and specialising in Critical Care it'll probably be something very boring like The Prolonged Use of Mechanical Ventilation on the Unconscious Patient, or something equally as thrilling.

Fix!

Are you Yoda?

He was already in Boro(ish) and locked in his office due to a toxic release outside...

Meez - clotted you say? You might want to see a doctor about that!

Is that this evenings dessert in your house?

If you're making something involving melted chocolate, don't be a pig and scrape the bowl out after you've finished. I know that smiley would come in handy at some point....

Thats a shame mate,sorry to hear it especially if you knew him well. On a lighter note, i would quite willingly pay the entrance fee for my neighbours if i thought they would drop down dead, noisy stinking bastards. No Catmag, I'm not jesting before you ask. 36137[/snapback] Wasn't going to say a word!

Gimp mask? 36066[/snapback] Oh, I was led to believe he was locked in a cupboard with you and you'd had beans for tea last night.

A present for you.. Hope you get out alive.

Done 36053[/snapback] Thanks. Hope you don't get in too much trouble from Gol

Condolences to you and to his family. Awful thing to have happened.
