@BloodnThunder:

As an American ^these pantalons depress me.

An Okie in "The Grapes of Wrath" would find them depressing.

@Megatron1505:

Spotted in Barcelona, the official denim of "American People"

I assume they are talking about this 'Merica:

Paula's coffee and Giles's Mac book have once again met in a twisted romance that has left the Giles's mac with a broken heart… or at least a broken hard drive.

Long story short... Giles might be a bit slow replying to posts and messages but he'll do his best.

This is Giles here.  It was actually Sams coffee.  Paula just provided the motive force…...FECK.....

I'm almost thinking a tough book might be in order!

Or he could spend 7 bucks and get this

@DougNg unfortunately, I do not think that would help.  When @Madame Buttonfly does it, she takes no prisoners. She contrives to create a tsunami of coffee upon the table top, it then enters the air vents at some considerable force, the opposite way to these arrows….

Last BBQ of the summer at my mate's yesterday (despite autumn weather)… My mate woke up at 6 am on his couch, naked, not remembering much... My other mate threw up all over the place when he got home...

Me?.. I got up at 10am, showered, had two pistolets with salmon and herb cheese, a 30' nap, and am now thinking what beer I'll be having tonight...

Remember fellas: if you're gonna be drinking hard, eat as much as you can, don't mix, and drink water in between!..

I had an ENT consultation today. Part of it involved having a fibre optic instrument inserted into my nose. This felt like a scene from a sci-fi film, and isn't an experience I'd recommend.

Anyway it turns out I've got a deviant deviated septum, and enlarged inferior Turbinates.

So sometime next year I'll be getting things bashed into shape, and drilled, bored and countersunk. Sounds painful…

I have to defend myself!  A gust of wind blew through our marquee blowing stuff everywhere - as I tried to keep things under control I knocked over a coffee (not mine) - anyway, I am paying the price for my clumsiness as I now have to check G's email as well as my own until he gets back to Gosport on Friday

I think we can all agree, that it was actually @Sam s fault, because he placed his coffe right between all this sensitive hardware.  

[Sam]

WWWWWHHHHAAAT!? It was never my fault… partly my fault. It was terrible luck and considering me and Paula were just that second talking about the last time Giles's mac was destroyed by a spilt coffee we really should have known better.

I too am paying the price as i have to read giles's emails as he drives and i get car sick when reading. All hath been punished.

[Sam]

P.S

We made it to Cologne!!

[Cutlasshound]

Perhaps it was merely a strategic move by G to reduce his workload??? [emoji16]

The first night and morning after will suck since you'll probably have splints in your nose. After you learn to breath with them and the swelling starts to subside you'll be good. I don't know how they do things in Australia, but I always treat my ENT patients as high risk for post-op nausea. The positive thing is that you'll probably breathe and sleep a LOT better.

Enjoying your day off(or weekends in general)? Thank a union!

Thanks @Anesthetist. My nose has always been blocked, so this will hopefully clear it and stop me from snoring so badly.

A friend who used to work as an operating theatre nurse in Melbourne knows the ENT specialist I saw. She said he's well known in the field, and so he should do a good job.

Poor @Sam - no it was definitely not his fault - just a set of weird circumstances (and me being clumsy)!  Fortunately @Giles has been pretty calm, he's been through so many laptop disasters in recent years that he now accepts it as part of his colourful life…!
