Aye, what he said...

The look and style of the board You can change it at the bottom of the page, on the left hand side.

Ohhh the mental imagery....

As a crazy cat lady with an aversion to the c-word. I'm both tbh, but so much more

It is being reported that up to 150,000 people are without drinking water this morning after all the flooding and the associated problems that have gone along with it. Apparently people have begun stock-piling bottled water and panic buying food supplies etc. It just seems incredible that as one of the most powerful countries in the world, and one that has never had anything other than a cool and rainy climate that we aren't better prepared for a greater-than-average rainfall. It's the same when we have more than a flurry of snow - all of a sudden the country grinds to a standstill and states of emergency are declared. It's just mental! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6910838.stm Oh and welcome to Monday morning!

Not exactly pertinent to me personally but the thing that has made me happiest in the last week is finding out that my brother passed his dissertation and will qualify as a nurse in a few weeks. I'm really proud of him because he went back to Uni at 25 after not being able to utilise his original degree and started from scratch. He's really got his head down and worked hard. I tried to talk him out of the nursing thing but he was having none of it....

What happened Glasgow Mag? Or is it just SM? I remember Glasgow Mag doing a big goodbye post as he was going to be caught up with work committments and wouldn't be able to get on the board etc. He has been back for short periods since then though I think, just not as a regular.

Tom, you're very zomffgggg!!!111! 'y at the moment!

Oh you're a spaz (Am I allowed to be that politically incorrect? )

Does anyone actually fill up the plastic charity bags with old clothes and put them out to be collected?

Anyone had anything exciting posted to them that they weren't expecting? Got back from Manc this afternoon to find some Ghost perfume had been posted to me from some promotional people or something. Not quite a full sized £50 bottle or anything but certainly not bad considering it actually smells lurvely too. And may I just say that I am still pissed off with the amount of junk mail that gets hoyed through my door. I get far more in Gateshead than my parents do in Washington and with all the recent carry on about recycling etc, you'd think people would cut back on paper wastage

I've just seen this. Have a word with yourself man! Had my hair cut on Thursday and it went horribly wrong. Far too short

Loads of interest here then

Eww, that messes with your mind

A bit late, but hope you've had a canny day Ricardo

Going out tonight with some old mates so I decided I would treat myself to a new top. Heads out in Manc to Market St (think Northumberland St) in the pissing rain and decided to take refuge in the Arndale Centre where most of the girlie shops are. Well it was fucking carnage. Every single shop I went in looked like a jumble sale and was full of screeching Manc bints who obviously (!) don't own a single item of clothing and so have to wrestle each other in pursuit of items of clothing that were all over the floor, half hanging off hangers, and so mixed up that it looked like a bomb had gone off at the Chelsea Flower Show. Not to mention that they all had at least 5 bursting-at-the-seams carrier bags which they bash into you at every opportunity, a pushchair, 3 other kids with them and some kind of retarded relative who isn't able to walk with any speed. Next, Dorothy Perkins, River Island, Monsoon and H&M didn't get any custom from me today. I fucking hate shopping

Whilst I would prefer that people didn't use it, I'm going to let the c-word thing slide somewhat. Although using it solely to wind me up or piss me off will be frowned upon.

Just helping out whilst some of the others have more important things in life to be dealing with. Anyway - a womans touch never goes amiss

Shall I sticky this?! Go on, go on....

Oh take the fucking filter off. I'm not arsed anymore.

Oooo, harsh!
