botafof? anyone
|
on the off chance that the weather forecast isn't bollocks, anyone
fancy a short FOT starting at the petrol station at South Mimms
services - 9:00 meet for a 9:30 start?
|
A *FOT* starting from South Mimms ain't goint to be short.
|
well, no. Subject line was the correct bit.
|
|
|
On father's day?!?
|
No such thing as Fathers day.
|
|
When's that then?
|
Heh. Never been something I've had to worry about either.
|
And what's it for?
|
Shifting greetings cards, screwdriver sets and the like.
|
|
Today, it seems to be for waking up to find a card, a double ten-pack of
Tunnocks Caramels and a copy of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey from the
hamster and the goldfish.
|
Let me get this right - your gf has bought you fathers day presents on
behalf of your hamster and goldfish?
|
I would have thought the questions of if he believed
that she had given birth to them and that he was also
the father would have been more obvious?
|
Run Forrest, run.
|
Now, back to packing my wellies for next week's mudfest...
|
|
|
|
9 o'clock on a Sunday ?? !!
|
During work hours, obviously. Snoring while getting paid - that's the
way to do it.
|
|
I usually get up around 7:00 on weekend days - sleep is for the weak.
|
I usually catch up on my sleep at weekends.
|
At the weekend I normally sleep the pattern I'd default to were it not
for work, 3AM - 10AM.
|
Eww. We have something in common...
|
|
|
yeah, me too - I get up around 6:00 weekdays.
|
Christ, it's hard work being "something in the city", isn't it!
|
it's not that - I just don't sleep much longer than 5 hours per night,
|
I hate you. People who get by on 5 hours or less will, effectively,
have longer lives than me.
|
yes, but the awake in the early-hours hours aren't that interesting,
if you're the only one up.
|
Well, sure, but I guess you can find something to do, no?
|
well, yes - I usually get up and read or watch a movie or something.
|
|
|
That's the best time of day.
|
|
I need six as an absolute minimum, and seven for preference.
|
10 to 12 for me, which doesn't go well with being up around 6.30am every
weekday.
Sleep robs me of my weekends.
|
|
I can get away with 3-4 if I have to.
|
|
I can survive on about 5 as long as I don't mind the migraine incidence
going up by about 500%..
|
|
|
your mother didn't have an interest in the Rotary Club or bowls and visit
Lincolnshire c.1966 did she?
|
I've literally no idea, though the timing is spot on (i was born in
1967)
Or am I being whoooshed?
|
oh right - how very droll. I agree with her about busses, mind.
|
|
heh - I was thinking how amusing it would be to point out the
similarity with Margaret Thatcher.
|
Not sure if it helps but I'm pretty much with Darsy here re 4-5 hours
sleep a night but with the exclusion of weekends; I sometimes lie in
until 8.
|
|
|
|
|
AOL - for a temporary period. Then I have to catch up, by sleeping 15
hours straight.
|
|
|
What you need sir is kids. After the first one, even the THOUGHT of 5 hours
sleep is a distant memory. I'm happy if I get one and a half hours before I
wake up. I can manage two wake-ups per night, then I'm struggliong to get
back to sleep. I try, but usually "that's it" and I'm then up for the day.
Bedtime is usually around 3 in the morning and I'm up by half 7.
Nursing a woman wiv two useless arms is taking it's toll though, so I'm
already knackered and it's only one o' clock in the morning.
|
|
so I get up and "do stuff" before going to work - I don't normally
leave the house much earlier than 7:30.
|
|
|
|
|
That Gordon Gecko schtick you've going there is so 80s, you know.
|
I'll be buying a Targa-top 911 Turbo next, just watch.
|
I won't hold my breath, if you don't mind.
|
|

|
This year? The day after my birthday[1].
|
Oh 'kin 'ell, I share a birthday with the wounded uncle.
|
I bet you're older, though. ;^)
|
|
My SO thinks I'm about 70, on account of me insisting on going to view
the Wellesbourne Vulcan for my "do anything you want on your birthday"
deal. I offered a pie and pint on the way back, that didn't go down too
well either :-)
|
Should have bought a pukka pie!
|
Hand over that TPS old man!
|
|
|
|
|
Get the heavy lifting equipment in and I'll give you the bumps.
|
|
|
Selling gifts for the man that the great unwashed fondly believe to be
their father.
[1] What, *again*?
