One of them moods when I wish I worked at Tesco. Also just realised tonight that when I was doing the rota for this week I should not have put myself in for an extra shift on Saturday night. Clocks go back - 12hrs becomes 13.

That carrot is my brother And that wall is St John Boste school, so pretty close.

You haven't changed a bit. Well, other than being taller..

I'm not even joking! Ignore the ancient cat - she's 21 and looking every year of it..

My parents have that carpet now!

Well if the petrol cap fits.... (I've no idea what that means but..... )

Bloody hell, do you pay for 'extras' cos that's canny service. What was wrong with it?

Bumped in case anyone has any new photos they want to share

I knew I could rely on you Found this... probably the last time I was in fancy dress.. And no, I'm not the carrot, the punk or the pirate

I dread to think! Thanks trooper - I'm beginning to think you're the only sensible one around here!

Nope, it's a free-for-all. Might bottle it and go in my work scrubs and an operating mask..

I'm being forced into going to a fancy dress party in a couple of weeks and am lacking both enthusiasm and imagination. I hate fancy dress but as it's a good friend's 40th birthday I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get on with it. I'm almost scared to ask for suggestions, but go on... Or, what have you lot gone as in the past? Pics would be even better

No, abolished in 1995.

His lawyer has just said it's likely he'll only be in jail for 10 months and then house arrest. Obviously it's been a horrendous situation, but looking at the bigger picture it's probably done the South African justice system no harm to be as transparent as it has been, given the history of the country. Judge Masipa is quite the formidable woman - I'll bet she's swigging from a bottle of Amarula as we speak.

So the firearms charge is wholly suspended then. And he'll realistically serve 2-3 years at most. Agree that it had to be a custodial sentence mind, although I've always been swayed towards his version of events, he still took that poor girl's life. I hope her family get a little bit of comfort from this.

She's dragging it out like...

HMHM, you possess a little bit of genius

Derby day might be a good shout actually. Have tentative plans to disappear somewhere in the week before Christmas but could be back for the Sunday.

We never went away. We just do things in secret now

Yeah, I was going to treat my mam and dad too so it would be fairly expensive. I'll drop her a message - thanks

We'll be having one near Christmas. I expect that you'll be there

We based it on the fact that if you'd not been on any of the pissups for the last 11 years then you were unlikely to come to this one

Hang on, weren't you whingeing on Twitter last week that not being able to drink was shit and you felt like crap?

That was 2 nights ago man, and I was fairly sensible. No room for hangovers when a 5-year-old wants you to be the Megatron to his Optimus Prime on a Sunday afternoon.
