Random Rants

Giles: you really should meet my dad and watch his PC skills… Told him to aim his mouse at the mid of the screen and he physically picked up the thing and placed it against it... My uncle witnessed that as well and I honestly didn't think either of us was gonna survive the 15 minutes of breathless laughter which ensued...
-
I once had to explain to an older lady in our office how to comply with the command, "press any key to continue". She couldn't find the "Any" button on the keyboard.
If you're past that stage, you're fine, Giles.
-
Yeah, I remember that, too. That's why I thought she was joking when she called me to ask for help. I nearly hung up on her.
-
Actually, she is going away with her family (20 of them) to a Villa in Spain. I was invited, but
quite frankly I'd rather chew my toes off and sprinkle the raw stumps with saltunfortunately someone has to run the business…..
Actually, it’s 5 nights (4 days in Spain) and there will be 23 of us and of course I am
delighteddevastated that G isn’t joining us, I will just have to drink his share of cava…
Thanks for good wishes, I am looking forward to it

Isn't Giles's absence the definition of a fun vacation?
-
Air conditioning helps.
-
Depends how many days has this been going now? I'm usually limited by having to work the next day. My usual hangover cure consists of lying quietly in a darkened room and hoping.
Failing that - two dissolvable Vitamin B tablets in drinking yoghurt, topped up with cream soda.
Although I did manage a 7hr shift at work today by drinking some green tea, moving slowly and glaring at anyone who looked like they might cause problems. (And swearing off alcohol for the foreseeable future, which could be 24hrs depending on how tomorrows shift goes…).
This has turned into a bit of a ramble, sorry.
-
I think I might be able to top that one Seul…
-
Drinking until 12ish last night, mainly low quality beers and a Pims/ Gin mix that has left a riotous headache, and an extremely dry mouth.
-
Got to bed around 2, after watching Match Of The Day and some random Korean movie that I've been meaning to watch for ages, and now remember nothing about.
-
Woke up at 5:35, unable to sleep any more due to aforementioned dry mouth and headache.
-
Got up, and came down stairs, woke Tom in the process and so was joined by a loud and excitable 6 year old.
-
Got to go to the library to return some books this morning (I feel less like moving than I do sawing my own face off), followed by TWO kids birthday parties consecutively.
-
If you never hear from me again, I was either the murderer or the victim.
-
-
It's 16:53 in Middle England Mike, and I have made it home alive, my update is as follows….
-
I got out of the first kids party because the library opened an hour later than I thought it did, so I spent an hour playing "spot the heroin addict" with myself in Mansfield town centre.
-
My headache had left by this time, due to a large variety of none prescription pain killers, but the dry mouth persisted.
-
To combat this I made the stupid decision of going to the local McDonalds for a milkshake, as it is also really hot, this was also full of heroin addicts.
-
Finally got into the library and took out a massive pile of Batman and Superman TPB's.
-
Got home and snoozed on the sofa for half an hour while Pam and Tom endured the first party.
-
Was forced to go to the second party, as it was my niece's, stood around in the heat watching kids, and my wifes family argue for two hours.
-
Now back on the sofa and feeling happy that it's all over.
-
nah you can have good fun with him…..
