Sorry jra I was on the sauce last night
Big waves to you!

Have had two big reorganisations, reapplying for jobs etc and trying to do a MSc over the last couple of years... if I let myself loose on DS on a regular basis I'll never get anything done

Well, let us know from time to time how you are getting on. And good luck with the MSc etc. You've been registered here almost as long as I have.

Mobile, you cheeky mare!
Hope you got a bit of kip in the end ((((((huggle))))))

Peppie, always good to see you pop in! Your self-control does you credit, I can't resist sneaking online and it eats your time, doesn't it?

jra, I hadn't noticed your signing up date before. You're even older than me...

I am probably older than you, in all senses of the word, and I won't ask your age, as it's rude/bad etiquette to ask a lady how old she is.

Nonetheless, you have been registered here a fair while, just like many other regular posters in this thread.

handy's 74, but looks great for her age, honest.

peppie!!!

I'm trying to stay off the sauce, but it's not working all that well as most of my best writing seems to happen when I've had a couple. Me and Dylan Thomas hey...

P.S. My newest client is foreign and she sent me some text to knock into shape. It was in English but only just as far as I could make out, so I thought I'd put it through a spell check to help me get started, but it refused - something about *can't complete the task*. I've never had that happen before! I really earn my money sometimes.

You are roughly 4 years younger than I am. I'll be 49 in roughly a months time.

Young whippersnappers, the pair of you

It's incredibly scary knowing that the next 'big' birthday will be 60

So, I have just returned from my day from hell, and tomorrow I have work... wish I had peppie's self control, too

Night night grumpers

Ha! So you're a couple of months or so older than me I like people being older than me *waves to the old farts*

I've got a sore neck - no idea what I did but I plan not to do whatever it was again because it's bloody uncomfortable! An old lady assaulted me at work today, she must have been nearly 90! I think she intended it as a playful punch on the shoulder but man these elderly aussie ladies pack a mean punch! She was a lovely though, her grandson who is a policeman had paid her a surprise visit and he apparently likes cheese and she had none in the house! There is of course no need for you to all know this but .... *shrugs* I like to share

We had a torrential downpour this afternoon which is good as it will keep everything good and green and it's supposed to be the wet season. I managed to dodge getting soaked as it obligingly dried up for the school run - it must be because I said my prayers last night ... actually I didn't but that's not the point!

Nothing else is happening ... still saying NO to LARD which is having the required effect and i'm fading away albeit slowly! Well done Collette my fellow anti-Larder ... which for no good reason made me think of Aunty Lardarse .... that was me

Clearly I have nothing sensible to add to your lives so I'll shut up for now before I addle your brains! Hope you're all keeping well and happy!

Mine too

Here, I am dog tired, and tomorrow I want a day off from the computer and everything it represents until at least late afternoon.

Back in the real world, I'm about to unload tumbledrierload number eight of washing done since Tuesday night so that Mr Sad can cart the remainder down to Madam along with a mended laptop tomorrow night.... me, I'm off out for a long awaited meal with former work colleagues so sadly can't go with him..... this is probably a Good Thing given my current frame of mind.

Am so tired I can barely move. Night grumpers all x

We've had a cinema day today, the boy and I (I have to tempt him back home somehow and *I'll pay* works quite well ), and it was a day of contrasts. I wasn't expecting to like The Miserables (and they really are, aren't they) but it's stayed with me. Bruce Willis's Die Really Quite Hard And Certainly Harder Than You Did The Last Time, on the other hand... well, I could barely remember the plot while I was watching the thing. Maybe there wasn't a plot?

I don't think plot is the point of the Die Hard films, bats - they're about Big Explosions and Bruce in his vest.

Anyone else here remember Moonlighting? Fab!

News from Melon Towers - just heading for an early night because Melony is cross-eyed with exhaustion, and she was pratting about on the loo... and fell down it. One bath later, and she's just got into bed. What a wally...

Just back from a lovely meal out (blown the diet to bits - oh well, tomorrow's another day) with lovely people. Always get a bit teary eyed when I hug my former work colleagues and it's a stark reminder never to take something brilliant for granted as you never know when it'll be gone.

HM - sorry - I loll'd Poor Melony

Batty - Les Mis improves even more on second viewing. Even so, and I did love it enough to go twice, Skyfall is the film of the decade for me, purely for being classic Bond with a really memorable ending (that for once didn't involve him sh*gging some woman in a boat). I'm not sure I can cope with Die Harder Yet Again having seen the reviews

Snowbes - no such thing as too many sweets on a training day. They keep you awake

Judging by the ratings I've read so far, the film is shyte. Maybe, they'll release an un-rated DVD/18 or at least 15, because releasing a Die Hard film as a 12, IIRC, is like releasing the Evil Dead 1 or 2 as a U. Just ridiculous. Besides, I'll wait till the prices come down.

Well, looking on the bright side*, I suppose two Sheffield grumpies will be happy today.

"John Carter" is a film that was slaughtered by Hollywood but isn't that bad, it's £5 on DVD at Amazon.

I've been reading Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Princess of Mars" upon which said film is based, the trilogy is available for free on Kindle.

I got the following for free but it's worth the price on Kindle

http://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Carter-...1639722&sr=8-1

How did Disney's film become a calamity of historic proportions? Michael Sellers, a Hollywood filmmaker himself, saw the disaster approaching and fought to save the project - but without success. In John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood, Sellers details every blunder and betrayal that led to the doom of the motion picture - and that left countless Hollywood careers in the wreckage.
