Ta for the congrats, everyone. Especially Lisa for her super-creative Yorkshire turn of phrase making me chuckle like a good un.
Cheering me up this week, and just about the only f*cking thing to do so, is that Ania's swagged a brace of tickets to see Ezra Furman at band On the Wall. So I'll go to that, spend the following weekend at Liverpool Psych fest, then see Gemma Ray at the Brud the day after I come back. Well smart

Darren is most certainly not my god!
Our Lis' certainly paints a vivid picture, bless her

2008 Ford Focus. Needs new tyres, but other than that, job's a good 'un! Had a 2004 Peugeot 307 for the past 5 years, but it's giving me the death rattles, so time to get rid.

Good effort. I bought a Focus (it's older than that one, mind) when we had Luka and I love it to bits.

Aye, sister's had a 2005 one for about 6 years now and still going strong. Only thing I need to do is get a Bluetooth kit fitted. Not for calls, but for playing music/podcasts.

Just looked back at my VR messages with Jim, circa 2010:

Not that we discussed any of the evil machinations of playing VR cupid in public, but our talks on that point actually made me smile.

Wonder how many VR couples there were in the end? VR is kinda responsible for me meeting Ania, in a way. I hooked up with a load of people from here and had a debauch around Leeds one Saturday afternoon, which ended up at the Cockpit, I think it was. I stayed over at the Reverend's gaff that night - by which I mean we stayed up drinking all night, and all day the next day too, before he took me round to meet this girl he worked with that he thought I'd like. So Ania's first sight of Doc was me turning up at her house, ruined, having not slept for two days, with an pen bottle of wine in each hand and a fag hanging out of my mouth. Apparently I walked into a lampost on the way to the pub as well. She says I didn't bat an eyelid, just spun round, walked on and carried on reciting poetry at her.......

Yeah it was the cockpit. That was an interesting day, I left my coat somewhere...
There have been uncountable amounts of couples/weddings/babies now I imagine, probably even some we don't know about cause so many people from the 2001-2003 era left here and didn't keep in touch... and the future hasn't even happened yet!

Quote: Claire, Sept 2014
Yep, this is day 58, so any time from now she can pop, though we're now thinking it could go to about 65 days as she's not very big, could be a small litter,which they do usually carry for that bit longer.
Either way, exciting :3
Faye thinks it's gonna be Tuesday, as she asked lil. She responded to Tuesday, but none of the.other days.
Probably because "Tues" sounds and awful lot like "chews"

(Yesterday, i saw a woman fanning herself and i found 1 cent.
Also; last night, i looked at the TV guide using the remote control and i told Marc who was going to be on the new Would I Lie To You? episode. He said that he liked the way i said Mel Giedroyc and that my pronunciation was perfect. So that made me feel special/ more special as i'm self-conscious about things like how i talk and pronunciation.)

The Sunday before last, Marc and i took Herman the tortoise to the vet's as they had a free check-up for animals thing. i thought it was cool that the vet that saw Herman had tortoises on her top.In the past few days, i've seen a pink motorbike and a purple horsebox.
Last Wednesday, i found £5 and 6p. Also last Wednesday, i went to the communal hall and there was a letter for me. It was a signed photo of Kaley Cuoco.
Edit: Also, a man fixed the boiler yesterday.

Leaving the Pog with me mam and dad for a couple of days and heading over to Whitby to stay in our favourite gothic guest house and eat at our favourite fancy restaurant. Swish.
Also, just booked us a long weekend in this gaff here for the end of next month:

That'll be me holing up in front of a blazing fire with a book and a f*ck off glass of Jura while the wind howls outside and the rain beats at the windows every night, then

Went to Sarfend Geoff's massive annual Halloween hootenanny on Saturday night, and it was boss. Stayed up till half past five, chain-smoking spliffs, swilling down pint after pint of Guinness and dancing to loads of old rave tunes, then skanking to Prince Buster
Was far, far too knackered for that kind fo carry on, having done a six-day, fifty hour working week, compounded by Peg-related sleeplessness, but really glad I stayed out. Did me the world of good, that.

Oh well done DJ. I'd thought about volunteering & got all the info and stuff but I wasnt sure I could commit to the training in between work, I'm going to try to get on with things in the new year though.
