I didn't exactly read the riot act out, but asked politely that they refrain from doing it in the future. The reply was basically one of mockery, saying do I look all the time for people posting about me in threads, to which I replied I don't, hence the late original PM. Still, this being DS, I shouldn't be surprised at the response.

I started but then got bored and went back to trying to do some work, then started fiddling around with my lists, and then texting people, so all in all it was a very involved day, yet I managed to achieve next to nothing. Today's been even worse, but at least Batman's been working from home and he's most excellent at telling me to put my feet up, so I did.

PG time now.

Sounds like a plan. I was toying with going out for the third night in a row, but I think I'll just buy some booze and cigs, leaving my onslaught on the town until tomorrow.

evening grumpies

Step away from the computer ... ooh ... before midnight

Evening!

Plummie wins Best Pun award by a country mile - I groaned out loud at that one!

TFIF...

Yo snoWbEs.

Erm, no news. I've had a haircut, and I'm not going with Palace to East Angular tomorrow. Which is a shame ... if I'd only thought. About Palace. Not the haircut. 6 on top 4 at the sides, all grey now. I is old.

(laura) Crikey you've been in the wars ...

Madrid on Monday.

I had to go back and re-read.

One for me@h were she still lurking Thankspigging

Madrid as in going there?

TFIF. Am not keeping up terribly well, what with real life getting in the way as usual, but just wanted to say TFIF, really

Hugs to grumpy grumpies, and let me raise a glass to those of you heading for any kind of a holiday any day now ... I am sure you will earn it

hello
managed to scald my left boob with a cup of tea this morning

Okay, in my head you were in your kitchen making breakfast starkers. Am I right?

Moving on.

Was going out tonight tonight, but not now. CBA. Tomorrow is another day.

That's how old age starts jra. Going out? CBA. Mark my words young man.

As George Carlin said, I'm not getting old, I'm getting older, maybe that way it'll last a bit longer (paraphrased).

This is the grumpy old people thread, not the grumpy young people thread.

In other news. I've got two other people using my Sky Hub for Sky Fibre Unlimited internet access now (just rented out the spare room). Maybe I should set up a public wifi hotspot, or maybe not.

Got a ear infection caused by the extraction grrrrrrrrr on antibiotics grrrrrrrrr
Hope everyone is having a good weekend, jra I cba either with anything.
Bats is the boy home for Christmas? Can't believe Christmas is nearly here where has the year gone, getting old.

Blimey, snowy! That takes the biscuit, that one!

Poor Laura
Feel better soon.

No news here except we're all knackered and I'm a bit ugh-y this morning. Picked up a bug of unspecified nature and feel a bit vile; Melony in a grump cos I said I felt too rough to help her get dressed, Mr M in a grump cos we're all worn out and the house is a tip, I just want to sleeeeeeeep... Bah Humbug!

You need a duvet day handy. (((hugs))) And you LL - I can't believe your rotten luck. (((more hugs)))

And yes, the boy will be with us at Christmas, which is great because I'm missing him like crazy and it looks like I might not be seeing him until he breaks up. Unless I can bribe him to come home next weekend!

Where Christmas will be is another matter. Batman's abroad with work again for a stretch and I need to touch base with Poland so we're negotiating a country at the moment.

no multitasking as usual....but something fell out of my highly organised cupboard on to the cup with steeping t bag in which then shot up on to my chest

it is healing up though..two blisters

ooh, snowbes... ow ow ow!!!

batty - I'm getting as close to a duvet day as I can; Mr M is going to take B out this pm so I can just potter around.
Christmas is sounding very cosmopolitan down your way!

Ouch! (((snOwy)))

handy - a pottering day sounds fab. Enjoy. And don't be tempted to do too much!

My Christmas is definitely sounding a bit mad! And today I have the pleasure of trying to understand some eek bits of international tax law, including vat. I've looked at it all twice and so far absolutely nothing has gone in. Not. A. Thing.

WTF have they done with DS

Don't they know us old folk can't cope with change??

I am not keen on the update hurts my eyes to read no doubt if you have 20/20 vision it will be alright, and can't see the right hand side on the tablet ok on desktop, progress for progresses sake?

I've got a song for that.
