sounds horrible

hope it's incredibly cheap.
It is now 3 months since I last rode a bike. A sad, sorry state of affairs. Fucking hate getting the fucking bus. Might order some books later, been a while since I got something new.

        Country of Last Things is also superb.

Woke up too many times in the night because I was so cold.

Just need to get through today and then I'm off for a week's leave.

Hurrah!

marckee | 25 Jan '13, 07:29 | X
Sounds horrendous.

I have a four day weekend. Going to Gdansk tonight. Back on Monday. Gonna drink all the vodka and all the beer.

I've not packed yet and I'm still in bed. Good times.

plasticniki | 25 Jan '13, 08:01 | X
So, so, so ill.

Everything aches. Everything. Was supposed to be going home today but I don't feel remotely up to travelling so might be stuck in a Premier Inn until I can travel. This is SHIT.

Steved | 25 Jan '13, 08:07 | X
I'm deliberately doing nothing this weekend

just sleep and xbox, its gonna be great

Smyth2 | 25 Jan '13, 08:20 | X
im going to be late for work, but for some reason i always think its okay to be late to work on a friday like its slightly allowed a little bit more

Found the proclaiimers record yesterday for TWO POUNDS

Absolutely blasted it out last night. I really can't be bothered with the next few days. It comes to something when you wish you had to work just so you don't have to do anything to feel part of the world.

    Yeah, its sunshine on leith. If you start, everyone nearby will join in and I hate it when my life turns into an off the cuff musical. So dont.

Supposed to be doing a very clever-looking photoshoot tomorrow

extremely unprepared, but have at least managed to coordinate the right people to the right place.

cocodaLOL | 25 Jan '13, 09:07 | X
Thank fuck it's etc.

Comedy thing tonight, birthday party Saturday, afternoon gig and pub quiz Sunday. Roll on 5 o'clock.

Also think I might be booking tickets to PRIMAVERA this weekend. Or I'm reading too much into an ellipsis...

is 110 quid to hire a van for two days expensive? It feels expensive

  Matt_was_taken @cat_race | 25 Jan '13, 09:15 | X
- that feels expensive
  
  I got a man with van to help with moving for £50 last time. He lifted all the heavy stuff, was ridiculously good looking and tried to set me up with a girl across the road so I think that was good value for money.
  
  Epimer @cat_race | 25 Jan '13, 09:17 | X
  - ha, i'm not expecting anything that good
    
    it was just one that's local to where i'm staying. looked up salford van hire and that's 80 quid for two days. going to go with that

Big weekend in store

Australia day and hottest 100 countdown (with all-day BBQ) tomorrow.

Big Day Out (with Sleigh Bells, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Killers and many many more bands) on Monday.

Not doing anything today.

Going to a housewarming tomorrow, and then struggling to sleep on Sunday 'cause on Monday I'm putting a comedy night on and I'm bricking it.

Can anyone recommend me anything good for motion sickness?

I had it real bad as a kid/teenager, thought it had mostly gone away but this journey is not going so well so far.

guntrip | 25 Jan '13, 09:31 | X
- night nurse and sleep, bud
  
  ALternatively, if you stop at a service station, they ought to do stugeron (makes you drowsy- prob no better than night nurse) or some of those seabands.
  
  try not to read if you're on the bus and avoid looking out of the side window. Sip some ginger beer.
  
  PickledOeuf @guntrip | 25 Jan '13, 09:32 | X
  - I was gonna say ginger beer
    
    always settles my stomach. If I was on your epic bus journey I'd be adding bourbon to it too.

    guntrip @cat_race | 25 Jan '13, 10:47 | X
- I'd stop using your phone/reading for a start.
  
  Just focus on the road ahead until you stop feeling sick. That'll realign it all.
  
  I get terrible travel sickness. Even getting the bus to work is a struggle :(

  moved to the inside seat and played a lot of Civ 4. i think it was maybe exacerbated by it being dark and all the streetlights and stuff?

in total limbo at work as the boss has not responded to my email of yesterday

I guess i just keep turning upo forwork and they keep on paying me and I'll formally tender my notice a week in advance of the date I actually want to leave? Sucks.

BUT. I am off to Scotland tonight. haggis, pugs and great people and lots of lorne sausage <3

PickledOeuf | 25 Jan '13, 09:35 | X
- Did you email your notice yesterday?
  
  Then yeah, just work until you want to leave...as TECHNICALLY you've handed your one week notice in so will be able to leave at any moment next week!
  
  meowington @PickledOeuf | 25 Jan '13, 09:43 | X
  - I've emailed to say I'd like to leave in 2 months
    
    Because I would never leave them in the shit by only giving them one week's nitice, even tohugh thtat's all i'm contractually obliged to do. It may come back to bite me on the arse if they just show me the door today/ next week, but I'll cross that bridge etc....

Still off sick,

still ache, temperature still all over the shop.

My girlfriend is dead set on us going to London to visit her friend tomorrow, which should be interesting given that walking to the loo has wiped me out for ten minutes this morning.

Off to the Athletics tomorrow.

Fucking love the Commonwealth Arena.

Velodrome last Saturday. Badminton on Tuesday. Gym tonight. Indoor athletics tomorrow. Might go and see the basketball in a couple of weeks.

Haven't been: drinking any alcohol this year, or been to a gig, and aren't hankering.

Have been: sizing up getting a road bike; scoping out local cycling and tri clubs; planning a calendar of races and events to enter.

Think I'm turning into a jock (US variant).

TheWza | 25 Jan '13, 10:38 | X
have a 3 hour round journey for a stupid thing for work to do

need to leave very shortly indeed.
then off to the tax office to claim back all my overcharged tax.
Then waiting for my new landlord to get in touch cos I'm in love with the place
Then friend's house that i can't be bothered for as she lives far away and i'll have to stay with her/another one and yeah not bothered. But could have a drink
then weekend of applying for jobs and doing a big assignment that is worth 50% and due in a week or so

        good for you.
