Oh well. I'll just have to buy something for tea on the way home - Guy, how do you feel about a BBQ chicken, crusty bread and a pre-made salad of some description, at around 7pm?
There's no normal showing at the Bradford cinema around 4pm. There is a 3D one at 4.10pm, though. What do you think?

Post would work, except it'll take me something like 20 minutes to get there. Also we'd have to agree on a place to meet - not sure exactly where your bus would come in, but I'd guess either the train station or the big fountain would be the best landmarks.

Big fountain, I say. I'm about to leave, and it predicts 40 mins or so to get there.

Cool, I'm doing the dishes. See you in a while!

Did you want me to put on food or did Serpentine go through with BBQ chicken plan?

Blegh. Stuck in Victoria Coach Station for more than an hour. Where's a Nameless and/or a Malfunctioned when you need one?

(also: new entry soon)

Yeah, I'm fine Newcastle's been good.

Also: anyone (including you, Lime) wanna come hang out for my birthday? It's on the 23rd, and I'm pondering going to the aquarium and watching movies and eating take-away of some description. If you hang around on the 24th, you might get snake-shaped cake - I wanted one, so I ordered for myself. If I get to share it with Playgrounders that's a bonus, otherwise I'll take it to work. Mostly I've just always wanted one, don't really care what happens to it as long as I get some (cake, that is)

Absolutely, and Tasroth as well. Qwaz said last night he'd ask you if you wanted to do anything, so we were already kind of planning on it.

But. But. But.
But I have an exam on the 24th. In my mind your birthday will be when I next see you. That okay?

But congrats on the job Serpy darling, was speaking to my parents about you and your job search just a few hours ago actually, they commiserated with your situation and wished you well in your search.
Now when I speak to them next week they'll hog all the glory.

Great that you have employment, even if it involved us having to cheat to get you one...

Nepotism is the best kind of way to get a job.
Besides, doesn't that happen a lot? Getting a job because your friend has a friend who works at/own a place that's perhaps looking for some new employees, so they had a word, and then you got a job?
Or maybe that's just me and my provincial way of life. And my university . . .

And besides, Serpy darling needed a job and she was upset, so a good deed was done!

Was I saying that cheating was a bad thing? Because if I was, that wasn't my intention...

Pen's Personal Rule #2: If in doubt, cheat.

(Nonetheless, some of us don't have as ready access to those sorts of connections...)
