It's good to know that, Xiin.

Haahey - laakiin noocaa kama helo.

-40? Urm, just how many layers and thermals does one need to wear to stop from turning into a block of ice in that sort of temperature? I'm always cold me, anything below 21°C has me reaching for double layers and a hot water bottle.

Yaabkiis - what sort of tea are you offering?

The topic title sent me in search of Mike and the mechanics. :cool:

Yellow! *Yawns* Did someone mention chocolates? Mmmm....

Sorry to hear about the job, Sheh. It's happening to a lot of people unfortunately. What is it they say, 'when one door closes, another window opens?'. There are a lot of temp contracts available fortunately- grab one till you figure something out. Insha'Allah Khayr. My own contract ends in March and I'm already hearing murmurings of an impending 'funding squeeze' and talk of 'streamlining the unit'. As it is, I'm planning to take six months off after March anyway (traveling), before going back to uni in the autumn, I'A. So it's no skin off my nose but I've to save like scrooge in the meantime. These things work themselves out- we just need to remember to say Alhamdulilaah when our feet hit firm ground.

I wouldn't bother making the first move or any other move for that matter. Unnecessary hassle.

I believe it's a natural phenomenon, termed Age Regression. It affects every woman at least once in her lifetime.

^ Hello J, have a good weekend? Jeez, I'm exhausted but lightheaded with relief! Pulled off a big event today that I've been working on for the last three months, and without too many hitches. Alhamdulilah. I'm gonna be comatose the next two days, I'A. Cara, Transporter 3 huh? Lucky you! I've got 1&2 at home and I can't wait to see the new one. Love Statham! Even his crap films are very watchable (Chaos, Crank etc etc). There's nothing good on at this end - other than maybe Body of Lies, but I can't stand Russell Crowe.

Hmm, he doesn't sound that bad actually. My former boss was a sadistic, lazy cow. She would overload me with work and then demand to know why I still hadn't completed this or that trivial task when she had just sent me six urgent emails to action on top of the ten other 'urgent' tasks she had sent through the previous day on top of my normal projects. And this was every day. [Edit]

So I went to see Max Payne last night. I was psyched since am a bit of a Wahlberg fan. Verdict: A whole load of pure unadulterated shite! Don't bother with it - time and money you'll never get back there. * On a more positive note, the new Bond, Quantum of Solace, was ace. Pure action. Just what I like. ****

^ No STOIC, this is a virtual get together we are planning. We'll choose the winner of the race by who makes the loudest screeching noises on the mic. 20th then, girls. I'A.

Hi Stoic, good to see you posting. Gee, that's a lovely shade of lipstick @ NG. Where is it from again? I miss trolling with the UK crew - never get the chance these day. I'm lucky if I even get five minutes to eat. *Sigh* Have a good week all, I'A. :cool:

December sounds good, I'A. (To Go-karting.) NG, you need your back broken for mocking our brave potential skydivers. Or better yet, you should be forced to watch Snakes on a Plane. :mad:

^ Well done, dear. Sorry I couldn't be there.

Welcome Newbie and all the others (can't be bothered to make the welcoming rounds). FaaraxB, so they let you out early for good behaviour, ey?

Look, it's a strategic choice. If Cara is the president she's going to need someone who keeps the wadaado and manly-men off her back and in their place.

OMG! I just realised my new laptop doesn't have the pound sign!! Stup!d American keyboards. Anyway, did you say the course costs 300 pounds? WTF? An important man, indeed.

^ Depends on the man and the length and depth of the friendship. DD, in general married men should be a NO-NO. Sheh, I tend to attract sweet but hopelessly drunk Irishmen. Bal adba.

This is turning into a one-horse (sorry Cara) race. Alright then: Cara for presidency. Xiin for VP. AT&T for the gallows.

$50 million? Really? Seems a bit farfetched. LMAO @ "I'm now dating a pirate." Ha ha ha.

^ You tell the cutest stories, Adam. Hey NG, was that you in the customised khamiis 'ghost' outfit roaming about? Originally posted by Cara: They don't have to leave empty-handed Val. You can scrounge up something, maybe breath mints or antacid tablets, throw in the occasional bit of uunsi too. Anything to avoid having your home toilet-papered or egged. They are not that bad over here, at least the young ones aren't. There's been no egging, as far as I can remember. I gave away crisps last year but only the first few ones got any. And then mum got the bright idea of making pancakes for them...like what 6-year-olds want pancake on Halloween? I bought a tin of Celebrations earlier but we've only had a couple of visitors so far. The sweets won't be going to waste, though, as my little cousin and I are doing our bit!

Look at the bright side of revenge sex, if it is true, it beats the usual revenge of being lured to the friend's house and then baptised with boiling water. At least no one receives 90% third degree burns or dies this way. This falling down dream is common then. Hmm... Sheh, naked huh? I think that dream is associated with anxiety about public speaking and presentations and such things. Anyway, I know what's keeping me awake (work) and it won't go away for another month, so I should resign myself to the panda eyes. Chubacka, just take it to the dry cleaners, they will know how.
