Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life (Vol 32)

[glenrobbo]

I'm not dead.

I just got home from our TVRCC Christmas Quiz Evening.

Our team ( of four ) came second with a very creditable 23 points out of 50

The Quizmaster was quite severe and brooked no arguments from the floor.

Given the difficulty factor of the questions, I think we did rather well.
But not quite well enough.
The victorious team scored 24 points and each team member won a bottle of wine.

Never mind, the mint spies were rather tasty and a bit lighter than a big wodge of Lardy Cake.
I think now that I have finished driving for the day, I shall treat myself to a wee dram afore I gang tae sleep.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hhhmmmm
Have you all been booted off?!?!

Some of us work for a living, I on the other hand work but it’s not a living more of an existence. No hang on I meant I live but work for the pleasure.

Nope. Got that completely wrong, is it tea time yet?

Ah, now you see, i attend and occasionally i press buttons , but i'd hardly call it working!!!!

Where as I go to work,mostly work hard but not for long!

Work?

Nah, I don't do that.

I haven't got the time to spare for that kind of nonsense, see?

Far too busy!

Mind you, I do envy some of you guys with your "days off"...

Oh well, off to bed now, early start tomorrow.

[Bobberoo99]

Did someone say early start??
Tis early o'clock here and I'm busy beavering away like a wee busy beaver!!! To aid me in this I have selected a bass heavy trance/dance/dubstep album, I may even have managed a little jig around!!!!

[ApOrbital]

Morning all

[Bobberoo99]

Our place is emptying out like crazy at the moment, lots of people finishing this week and during next week for Christmas, one thinks that their precious produced hours are going to suffer a tad!!!

ION it is the company soiree thursday night and we normally get our post delivered for 8am.

Which means someone has to be there before that
I am under strict instructions from our MD to either get it deferred to 9am or let them deliver it with second post. So a lay in on Friday

And I can confirm there were extra bits of me jiggling too!!!!

Good of the MD to say that!!!

[glenrobbo]

Morning all!

Much as I'd love to be jigging around with a beaver, I am on Robbopopping duties, so I must thrust such thoughts far out of my mind.
But I'm looking forward to Baby Club and The Twirly Woos a bit later on.

[glenrobbo]

Baby Club Yeah!

He is pretty good as someone to work for to be fair, before my role changed i was servicing dental equipment and part of that involved 4 days in Frankfurt at our European hub. 4 times we tried to get out to Frankfurt for the Christmas market but no joy due to bad weather (about 18 months ago or so) so on the way back from Heathrow he took us all out for dinner at a TGI Fridays.
The trip to Frankfurt was on the company
The company soiree is usually pretty good, up until a couple of years ago when people took the piss at the 'free' bar, it was partners included in one of the poshest hotels in St Albans but now it is just work people. Again, on the company.
He's pretty good with allowing flexibility around working hours for appointments etc and i guess these all add up to why people are loyal to the company - well those who have their heads screwed on properly, those that don't soon fut off elsewhere.

Oop Norf, just now:


See the factory chimneys spewing their vile filth into the environment.

Oh, no wait a minute: I got that wrong.
It's politicians canvassing for votes in our local marginal seats...

Are the politicians burning, or the margarine seats???

I've just had 13 pips in a clementine that's barely two inches in diameter.

This is a new definition of lucky of which I was previously unaware.

I once had a lemon pip in my pint of gin and tonic.

Dashed poor show, what?
It must have slipped past my rigorous inspection stage during the assembly of the refreshing beverage.



But I was very very drunk!

Good morning to you all.

I'm home now after a hit of plastering. That's me! A one hit wonder!

[Bobberoo99]

Ah the good old one hit wonder!!!!

I sliced the end of my thumb off last week, it was healing well right up until I bashed it not once, but twice yesterday, which caused it to haemorrhage under the reattached piece of skin, when I had a good look at it yesterday evening there was a dark ring around the piece of skin and it was rather tender to touch, so I prepared a boiling hot bowl of TCP laden water and soaked it, then lanced the edge of the bulbous bit and soaked it some more, it was ok last night but has started to throb somewhat today, further investigation when I get home I think!!! If all else fails I have plenty of shiny, slashy, stabby things to facilitate it's removal!!!
