I got back from my Liverpool holiday. The hotel needed enhancing a bit (the staff were incompitant and it was a bit dingy), and we wasted way too much time driving about doing nothing, but the Beatle's museum was good (the Magical Mystery Tour was overpriced, and most of the information was available at the museum). The safari park we went to yesterday was great as well (I'll need to check what it was called).

Wait, there was a poll in the last thread?

Nah, they're talking about the old thread.
Yes, I am indecisive. :smallamused:

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I didn't vote cause I couldn't decide which option to chose, and I'm not joking.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
This is not going to be a fun day. So I mentioned somewhere yesterday my son has pink eye. Which means 24 hours of drops before he can go back to school (and I can go back to work). So yesterday he complained about it, but ultimitely let me put the drops in like four times before he went to bed.
So this morning, I have spent the last hour trying to get the ---- drops in his eye, while he's fought and cried and covered his eyes, and squirmed out of my lap. I finally had to sit on him and hold his arms down with my elbows, and I still only managed to kinda get the drops in his eye while it was squeezed shut! :smallmad:
And I have to do this again in TWO HOURS! :smallfurious:
Otherwise, he can't go to school and I can't go to work.
I was so upset I was crying while I was holding him down. He, of course, was fine immediately after I let him up, and started playing with his stuff.
It's going to be a long morning.

Back from guitar lessons. Gah! Moving and changing chords around quickly is hard. I need to be able to change chord shape/inversion/whatever within a sixteenth note. At a decent speed, of course.
Anywho, I'm finally almost done with Hamlet. Then it'll be A Doll's House.

Oh wait. You were being serious. You actually went to Skavenblight on holiday? Were you drunk? Come clean; you did a Withnail and went on holiday by mistake, right? I mean...Chester is only a few miles down the road. :smallconfused:

10 Fun Facts About Scousers
- Scousers are not related to humans. Taxonomically they are a form of rodent (rattus merseyensis) that has been mutated into a superficially humanoid form by the effects of their environment.
- Their rodent ancestry is the reason Scouse voices are so shrill, high-pitched and downright irritating. To human ears the alarm call of a startled Scouser sounds much like the words "Owh no! Rooon! It's tha polis!"
- Scousers are omnivorous and can eat almost any type of garbage. They seem capable of surviving on a diet of nothing more than nicotine, cheap lager and deep fried boots.
- Scousers fry their hair into perms (pron. "peeeeeeeerm") to make themselves look larger and more threatening to potential predators.
- The reason Scousers flop about so much is that – unlike proper humans - they have no bones (see illustration).
- Although they fear machinery – it being associated in their primitive minds with the horrors of work – Scousers are fascinated by loud noises and shiny things: hence their love of hubcaps, mobile phone and car stereos. Scousers look up to those of their number who have the largest piles of stolen tat.
- Scousers are tribal animals and enjoy fighting among themselves over arbitrary differences in the colouring of crude fabric coverings in which they drape themselves.
- For all their faults Scousers are sensitive beings who deeply empathise with the pain of others. They are not at all a fickle bunch of sentimental, grandstanding emotional wallowers in secondhand grief. No, really. Ask them how caring they are. They'll tell you all about their manifest virtues, loudly and at great length.
- A Scouser removed from its native habitat pines for it loudly and relentlessly. Curiously, it never seems to move back there when offered the opportunity.
- Fact #10 was stolen by thieving Scousers.
10 Facts You Should Know About Liverpool (pron. "Liva-puuuuuwl")
- Liverpool was not founded like most cities. It is merely a collection of flotsam which washed ashore in the tidal Mersey estuary. The ancestral Scousers scavenged the flotsam and heaped it up on top of their warrens in crude imitation of human buildings.
- Scousers consider their heap of spoil to be the greatest city in the world. It is indeed the greatest city built by non-human hands.
- Liverpool has never burned down in a great fire. Shame that.
- Liverpool has half the population it did in the 1930s. This decline can be ascribed to rampant cannibalism within the populace, and the fact that not even Scousers want to live there.
- Liverpool is one of the great cultural cities of Europe ... PWAH-hah-hah!!! No, sorry. I just can't say that with a straight face.
- The Beatles came from Liverpool...and left as soon as possible.
- Liverpool has a great comic tradition, including such luminaries as Stan Boardman, Jimmy Tarbuck, Cannon and Ball, and the Chuckle Brothers. :smallconfused:
- Many Irish moved to Liverpool in the 19th century, but only because Ireland was a desolate, famine-struck bog at the time. Any Irish with a modicum of taste and good sense stowed away in the festering bilges of rotting émigré ships in preference to staying in Liverpool.
- Adolf Hitler's half-brother lived in Liverpool for most of his adult life and sired half-Scouse feral ratchildren on one of their hideous, bony-fingered females.
- Nothing else of note or benefit to humanity ever came out of Liverpool.
v-- Nah, not much. I'm not keen on any of the top right of the country, but I feel a particularly profound distaste for....that place. :smallamused:

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
My family wanted to go. I take it you don't like the place, right?
-
Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
he worst thing about Liverpool is that you actually have to work to get livers.
You'd expect a place named Liverpool to have more livers without bodies.
It took me 2 hours to get enough and that was from camping.
Also, WoW I been playing to obviously much of.

Thank you for reminding me Eggy. I bought the film on DVD ages ago, but I never got round to watching it.
I'll watch that tonight while being incapable of sleeping due to tomorrow.

So... There should totally be an Abu Dhabi meetup. Cuz the desert is pretty awesome.
And school starts in five days. Mixed emotions times several hundred.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Okay, I'm really pissed off at my dad. I asked him yesterday night to wake me the same time he did yesterday, eight'o'clock, about the time he left for work, I suppose. This morning he apparently left for work, called the house at ten to wake me up, knowing full well that doesn't work on me, then gave up. I woke up at noon. Now instead of a whole day to do what I have to do, I have two-thirds of a day.

You could try my approach.
I'm going to go, collect, then never open.
That way, they're preserved in a Schrodinger's Results.
Their current state is in flux, and no constant will be set until they are read.

Uhuh.
And that topic actually gave me a nightmare/freak out dream.
It was horrible!
For some reason I'd been sent a letter today and it looked like a bill windowed one, but the window took up most of the enveloped front and back.
And the envelope said my results were being remarked.
The window in the envelope showed my results to the whole world (postie and family)
And it was AWFUL!
Religious Studies - M (which I knew to be Merit)
Maths paper 1 - T
Maths paper 3 (different exam altogether) - U
Sociology - N
ENglish Combined - U
Science - B
And I take none of those subjects. And the system only grades A - E, then N for negligible pass and U for total fail. We don't mark on Distinction, Merit, Pass, Fail and I don't even know what the hell T is.
And everyone knew my results!
Then Mum said I must have cheated because I never got results that good ever and that was why they were being remarked.
I actually woke up in a cold panicky sweat.
*whimpers*
I don't even know why I'm so nervous. I'm also thinking about whether I should go up to college to get the results or just check the intranet for when they publish there.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
So I just did a search for myself, and... People have been dreaming about me? o.O Cool :smallbiggrin: Only straight females though, I notice, and nothing terribly... interesting :smallsigh: :smalltongue:

Oh jesus. I didn't realize that was a dream at first... Scary.
Anywho, I got dreams like that. I had a dream that I was retaking a bio exam which I hadn't studied for. (But in real life I got over 100% without studying for it...) Annoying how dreams pull at yer emotions like that. :smallannoyed:

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Wierd how onlygirls dreamt of you.
And I know I'll do fine, but the way I found out my results and what I actually studied were the wierd parts.
I take none of those!

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101

Besides, what's done is done. The time for worrying was four months ago.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
No, there is always time for worrying.
If there wasn't, I would have a lot more free time.
I've already decided if I do well, I'm going with my friends to celebrate. If I fail, I'm going to the beach.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
My mum is doing all the worrying for me. I'm just laid back like that.
