Happy new year TMO - it's probably like shouting it at your deaf old Grandma in the corner - never knowing if it will be heard or acknowledged, but she's been there since your infancy and though she is a cantankerous, belligerent and incontinent old witch you still look at her with fondness, remembering her in her younger, more sprightly and inspiring days - the halcyon days when you couldn't wait to see her and hung on her every word.
Happy New Year TMO - we still love you even though you smell of wee.

Happy New Year!
Even though I am still trapped in 2010 for another 3 and half hours, I will act nonchalantly like I belong here, in the future...

Black airwalks, black socks, black trousers, white t-shirt (that I ironed myself this morning!), stripy jumper. Two days of having not shaved as I'm lazy.
Lunch was salad. Not very interesting.
Currently playing Fallout New Vegas but it's going slowly.
Currently considering paying someone to come into my garden with powertools and dig up the garden (as it's entirely paved/concreted) and get rid of the carp pond.

Dark blue robe.
Just had a cheese and ham toastie, but am now seriously regretting it as I will be going to bed shortly.
Just polished off the last of Meg's rose as I drunk mine (red) too quickly. Sure she won't notice. I'll make it up to her somehow.
In the morning: Strong cup of coffee. Two crumpets. Unless the tram's late again, in which case, fucking cereal... Posted by Zygote (Member # 883) on :

You didn't have any crumpets left did you, you wanker! Posted by Cherry In Hove (Member # 49) on :
You can make crumpets quite easily. Although that does require about 2 hours notice so perhaps not quite as easy as just putting ready made crumpets in the toaster.
Posted by Zygote (Member # 883) on :
I'm assuming there'd be a great deal of skill involved in making them from scratch and my baking skills leave a lot to be desired. Do yours even have the little holes on top?
Posted by Cherry In Hove (Member # 49) on :
Yeah, the yeast makes the holes for you.
You just mix some yeast in some warm water/milk mix with some sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it goes frothy. Add into flour, salt (there might be bicarb but I can't remember), cover and put in a warm place for about an hour, then just fry in crumpet shapes. It's pretty easy.

Interesting. I shall look into this further.

Probably should be giving some credit to Zygote here for keeping the layer of dust on the donkey from becoming too thick. So, well done.

Crumpets are beautiful.

Yay! A meat! Where shall we go? I'm sure Harlequin'll know somewhere good. Posted by Zygote (Member # 883) on :
In the meantime, I've recently come up with a great idea for a computer game. The game will be called Rat Race and will be based around the idea of getting to work on time via the Metrolink service from Sale to Manchester every morning.
Basically, you have a set time period to get to work -- say, 30 minutes -- but you gain extra points by performing acts of violence on the annoying twats that prevent you from getting to work, resulting in 'bonus points' which earn you further minutes to get to work. Points can only be awarded if you attack people that are 'rats'. People defined as such are generally the selfish ***** that will do anything to get on the tram before you and will happily barge into you without so much as a 'sorry' or 'excuse me'. In other words, pretty much everyone at the tram stop.
The doors on the tram are fitted with razor blades. Extra points are earned if you can successfully press the 'close' button whilst rats are still trying to board the tram when you are already situated in a 'sardine tin' scenario. Slicing the body in half yields a ten minute bonus; loss of limb is equivalent to a five minute bonus. Strangulation of scallies, using their iPod headphone cords, gains useful two minute additions to your start-time at work.
As your points-count rises, you will be offered various weapons for the return journey, for example, the baseball bat will enable one to smash rats' skulls into pieces as you gain access to the tram. The chainsaw is particularly useful when somebody's armpit is inches from your face and you can hold your breath no longer.
