The only sauce should be the unborn!
Though I was expecting 'splodge to reference Henderson's Relish.
Also, Splodgiator whilst you were AWOL I found this and thought of you [url]http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukebailey/sean-bean-knows-something[/url]
Just found out that my boss has been passing off my work as hers and taking the plaudits for it.
Killswitch: Engage!
Yeah I saw that AMA.
Hendo's is for chips, stew, steak, and the sunday roast - specifically yorkshire puddings.
How'd you find that out?
I over heard a conversation then asked for a couple of status reports be sent to me to investigate.
I was already annoyed as I have been told that there is no budget for training yet my colleague is scheduled for ther 3rd and 4th course.
My boss is away so I am snooping around. I've complained over the last couple of days that the testing that started this week I have had no visibility of.
You wrong. HP Sauce. Bacon loves it. I love it. Bread loves it. It all works. It's like a bunga-bunga party in my mouth. But without dodgy Italians. Or underaged anything. So come to think of it, it's nothing like a bunga-bunga party in my mouth. I'm thinking of that other thing - a Bacon Sandwich. That's what it's like in my mouth. A Bacon Sandwich. In my mouth.Quote:

Tsk.
HP is still lovely and made from win and dates and secret spices and vinegar.
So looking forward to having decent facilities of my own at LARP! Having previously used public transport to get back and forth, amount of gear I could pack was limited. Now, I can take my camping table, use the boot of the car as a seat, and cook foods! Oh yes! Screw you food wagons! Too expensive, and low quality!

This week sucks. Sucks I tell you. This week sucks more than Russell Brand presenting a Street Dancing Reality Show where the dancers have to also complete Bush Tucker trials, whilst desperately trying to find a better agent. And that's pretty sucky.Quote:

Good News / Bad News
Good News: Unemployment figures continue to fall (lowest since 2008)
Bad News: Wages have risen the lowest that they ever have done.
BBC Breakfast have also highlighted a higher than previous proportion of self employed people, and the skewing affect that can have on official figures (as in yes you're working, but not necessarily earning money).Quote:

Hope the winds died down for you Mystery, We got a split tent pole Sunday, which was better than the tent flying off like some people.
Should be alright. Just north-east of Nodnol, and not on a flood plain or owt. Plus, the campsite is situated on an old quarry, so has excellent drainage.
Plus, sleeping in my car (it's an estate), wind bothers me not one iota. Though I do expect I may have to share with others if tents do get mashed up.
Gonna be awesome anyways!
What did you get in the end?
My mate's old Mazda. 1991 model, still going strong. Plus he's put in a load of work.
Chassis itself is in frankly amazing nick. Just a teeny tiny bit of surface rust on one wheel arch. Not bad for £380!
Also, I'm insuring with my previous employer, Swiftcover, as not only have they provided the cheapest quote, I also know their exact level of relative incompetence. Which is nice.
I like that, "exact level of relative incompetence"
Not a 1991 model at all. It's a 1999 model!
And yes, relative incomeptence. For those wondering, it's admitting that bobbins as they might be, I know there's far, far worse out there (like Aviva). Sort of a 'better the devil you know' type affair.
Or the lesser of two evils....Quote:

Are you planning to loosen the tent pegs of some of the sexy female larpers in a dastardly attempt to lure them into your passion wagon?;)Quote:

But I have a cunning plan!
This year, I'm taking Crafting as my Veteran Pick. This will allow me to make spell holding trinkets, which I can sell for decent money.
Campsite has an issue with Wasps....so to physrep a Trinket, make a 'Supernatural' style Hexbag out of that scrap leather I have knocking around. Fill it with a pebble for weight, dried herbs for appearance, and some cotton wool....cotton wool with Peppermint Oil on it, which is a natural Wasp repellant. SUCCESS!

You kidding? LARP is great in the UK, and much superior to the US version (it's true dudes!).Quote:

Churches are for those who believe, schools are for those who know, and pubs are for those who believe they know!
The internet are for those who don't know but shout their opinions very loudly.

meh still want a toothless and they sold out of them
I is insured! And soon be on the road! HURRAH! Freedom once again! The freedom to pile in my mirthmobile, pick up a couple of mates, and explore!
Police shoot unarmed, non-threatening man
People protest
Police break up protest with heavily armoured riot police, tear gas, rubber and wooden bullets
Police threaten media in city, ban media helicopters and block access to their town
Police remove all badges and Id to avoid recognition and responsibility
Tiny police department inexplicably has heavy riot gear and all kinds of equipment you wouldn't expect to see
Police department spokeswoman refers to black people as monkeys
America, home of the free, unless you are black, in which case you're probably going to be shot.
The stories you see about US police corruption are quite scary.
ftfy. For added accuracy.Quote:

Edit: True Mr M, though as someone asked on twitter, would a police officer get away with murdering a young white woman who was just standing there minding her own business? In this case race matters a lot more than gender (a lot of black women get shot by the police too).
"Fun" fact: Tear Gas is illegal in war as it is classed as a chemical weapon. However, the convention on use of chemical weapons does not cover "domestic" usage.
Fixed it for you bothQuote:

Now when that white kid shot up the cinema a year or two ago he killed a bunch of people, had a bunch of guns and the police managed to bring him in alive. Yet unarmed black people are being shot all the time for no reason and we are expected to believe these were all necessary and legitimate acts of defense by the officers involved.Quote:
He wasn’t a gang banger at all. I was sitting across the street when it happened. So as he was walking down the street, the police approached him, whatever was said I couldn’t hear it, but the cops jumped out of the car and rushed him over here into this corner. They had him in the corner and were beating him, busted him up, for what reason I don’t know but he didn’t do nothing. The next thing I know I hear a ‘pow!’ while he’s on the ground. They got the knee on him. And then I hear another ‘pow!’ No hesitation. And then I hear another ‘pow!’ Three times
Indeedy.
Often Black and Poor.
Now which of those two factors is most likely to lead someone into a life of crime? Well, that would most likely be poverty yes? Yet the media makes more of a song and dance about the black bit.
