Off till Monday 5th Jan!!! Yippee


First time in my life I've ever had annual leave (which my son finds hilarious) and sick pay.


Wages still a bit crap - but happy to try to climb the greasy pole for the first time in my life if I get paid to be at home!!!

There were only about 3 people on my Victoria train this morning.


Is the spirit crushing silence on here today down to the fact that everyone's at home nursing their broken body clocks, or is it because people are at work with heavy lids and leaden fingers?

Mr. Moos is snoring and twitching on the sofa next to me, looking like a hound hunting rabbits in his sleep.


The Moosling is snoring and twitching upstairs and looking like a blue-wrapped sausage.


The cats are sleeping more gracefully on various things not designed for cats to sleep on, while various things designed for cats to sleep on are lying unused.


As the only conscious member of the family, I am contemplating a stroll around LL window-shopping, since the Moos credit line is already dangerously low, and payday is an aeon away. Sorry you're having to work, Mockers. Maybe you can sneak a peek at the Harry Potter in your bag to cheer yourself up and pass the time? B)

cheeky muchkin!!


I'll have you know I'm embarking on Don DeLillo's Underworld, that I bought for my step bro, only for him to pull a well thumbed copy out of his bag on crimbo eve and enthuse about it. Doh! (I replaced it with my own well thumbed copy of Elmore Leonard's The Cold Six Thousand after he opened his present and laughed).


I'd love to be sitting here doing not much, but sadly deadlines don't care about holidays nor hangovers. Have just spent a whole morning trying to work out why the base class method is being fired only to see that my derived class was referring to the base class method explicitly...double Doh!!


Clearly brain will take some time to reengage. So come on you happy people, cheer me up :)

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
