Yes indeedy it is! I love the man...end of story. Mind you, I can't say that over at the D board...one must share the love equally between Jables and Kage. We're an odd bunch over there.

Is it the weekend yet?

No.. get back to work, slacker...

I worked from 10:30am->12:30am today.. busy day.. but.. I get 7 hrs overtime.. woo-fucking-hoo!

From the Aussie Movie Thread:

There was a NZ movie (about pool) that was (on the cover of the movie) compared to Lock/Stock and Snatch. It was called Stickmen. I really enjoyed it.. anyone else seen it?

Nope...seen neither films.

Latch, I'm worried about my flex time....it's down to 7 hours and I have managed to overcome my workaholic tendancies, thus I refuse to build up any more. It was 37 hours last month! Now I don't even have enough to take a full day off!

Don't be worried.. just fudge a half hour here and there (starting and finishing).. you'll be all set ;)

Not that I do that.. of course not.

I currently have 6.5 hours of flex built up.. well.. after today, it'll be down to around 5.4 (after fudging). I really need to start working full days again.

What.....commit administrative fraud?! *Ella feigns shock*



Yep.......works for me!!

You wanna learn how to defraud places, just speak to all your people at Centrelink that actually tried to find a job.. put the effort in.. etc.

Hey, what the hell happened to this thread? It's Friday night and I'm eating pizza! Surely that's worth something?

Enough for The Campfire.

I've got shitty safeway chicken/cheese schnitzels in the oven. Thinking of cracking a beer.

It's been absolutely fucking beautiful all week down here (Arachnid, frozenstellar, slimshaydee, back me up on this..). Unfortunately it still gets fairly cool at night so not the greatest to go out and have an evening beer in.

Meanwhile Ella's been enjoying 26 degree days... stupid sexy Queensland.

I leave you guys for 2 weeks and now the Canadians are 6 threads up on us! This is something we will have to remedy...

Yeah, where the fuck have you been anyway? Not that I missed you or anything....*ahem*

Hell, the weather has been rawkin' here. I've had my first two open houses this weekend and the sun has been shining in a most glorious fashion. Still no feckin' buyers, tho.

my fucking house flooded.... the goddamn washer tube thing fell outta the washer/basin thing.. and I came home to find standing water on the lino.. and the carpet saturated all the way around the edges.. what's worse is.. I live in units.. and the neighbours place flooded too. Fucking wonderful.

I'm never leaving the house again while the washer is running.

Oh dear. That happened to me earlier in the year - the bathroom drain blocked and flooded my mezzanine while my oldest daughter was having a shower. The insurance handled it, and luckily is was in summer so the carpet dried quickly but it's still a pain in the arse.

Been working flat out, coupled with drinking at a magnitude that can only be achieved by a university football club that went winless through the entire season...

I missed you too El... wanna lash?

Lash? No. Slash? Yes. I've been on the sauce a bit too and I'm busting for a piss.

We'll just skip the formalities then eh?

I've never seen the attraction of sexual activities that involve bodily functions.

Didn't TISM write a song about that?

Defecate On My Face
TISM

Come home tired, what a day I've had;
News ain't good from Stalingrad -
I been busy protecting the German race,
So come on baby, defecate on my face.

Chorus:
C'mon baby, send it on down;
Bend over Braunn and give me your brown.
There's trouble brewing in the Warsaw Pact,
So hurry up Eva and move your digestive tract.

Get to the bunker, looks like a sty;
Turn on the T.V. and it's all one Big Lie -
Here Eva, have these prunes to chew:
We have ways of making you poo.

Here come the Russians! It's near the end!
Proud to say that my girl never used an "S-bend".
What's that Eva? Your bowel's on strike?
Then it's all over for my Third Reich.

That song wrote itself.

Go Lleyton.

Hey...I have a contract signed on my house after less than three weeks on the market, and they want to pay me more than I expected to get for it! And they'll let me rent back until early December when I move down to BrisVegas!

It all seems a little too perfect, so I'll save the celebration until after the initial 14 days are up.

Hey.. sounds cool. Hope it all works out for you.

What's in it for us?

Maybe a beer if you play your cards right.

A beer, or a 'beer'?

A beer.


Or maybe a beer. :cool:

What chance do you's give Hewitt tonight? He's playing his arse off but the other guy's close to the best I've seen. I'm going Lleyton in a nail-biter.

The Antz Pantz underwear ad was funny at first.

Now it's annoying.

Hey, I'm down here on the Gold Coast for a week....so far I've been downing gin and tonics, making sandcastles and working on my tan. It's all good.

ahhh, the life of a government worker...

Yeah, you can't beat it, can you Latch? I honestly think I'll be accruing flex for the rest of my working life.

PM me back Slim you bitch!

Hey, did someone call for a campfire?

Hey...I gave up drinking for 12 days!!!

I met a chick on the weekend, friend of a friend set-up. Love these types of SMS when you're at a BBQ "What's doin Bose, come down to the New Albury, got a friend of Dee's here that wants to pick up someone. C u in one".

Dragged her back to my place (got nothing, hoping it's in the post though), and she says this 9.30 on Sunday morning...

Vagina: "I better get going home, all my relo's will be waiting for me"

Me: "How come"

V: "It's my birthday today and we're having a family breakfast".

Woulda loved to have seen the look on her Nan's face when she rocked in there at 10am wearing the clothes she wore the night before. For interests sake, the rest of the convo went something like this...

Me: "What are you turning?"

V: "19. How old are you?"

Me: "I better get you home then".

Hooked up a date on Saturday night, but what the hell do I talk to someone about who's 8 years younger than me? Jesus. I might be out of my depth here. I've made a deal with god as this may be my last chance with a 19 year old that i don't have to pay for...

Anyone here have been/or are going to the falls festival this year? Im gonna be going to the VIC one, should be super. Billy Bragg will be playing incidently.

I'm considering going to Falls.. but haven't been yet. Probably won't make it this year.. as mates are already planning for huge things that night. Some year though.....

I have a mate who has been a couple times.. is going again this year.. he can't get enough of it.

Yeah, im hoping its awesome. If you decide to go, ill meet you where the beer is.

The Falls would be very cool. Hell, it's just down the road from you, Latch! Isn't there someone else here from down there?

I'll be in Melbourne early Jan for a week or so but will miss it. Last time I saw Billy Bragg was in 1986. And I'll bet he's pretty much the same nowadays. And that's not a bad thing of course....

Did anyone do the Melbourne Cup thing at work today? We did a lunch, had sweeps and the girlies who wear frocks and hats dressed up in them (I don't do frocks). Then we all stopped work and watched the race....it was fun.

Yeah.. Falls is only about 45 mins away..

There are a few more Melbourne folks around. What you coming down for? If you're free we should get the Melbourne (and surrounding area) crew together.. meet at The Lounge for drinks or something.

Yep - yesterday was a pretty bludgy day. 9 holes of golf at 7am followed by beer at the club house. then a little bit of work, before the guys I work with came over to my place for beer, nibblies and watching the race. All in all a very unproductive day for our workplace :)

Latch, I'll be bringing the kidlets down to see their grandparents. Not sure when I'll have holidays again, since I'm having over two months off work, so I kinda need to do what I can when I can. I'll be staying with my Dad in South Yarra which is pretty central. I'll buzz ya closer to the date.

Spindles...sounds less productive than my day, matey, and that's saying something!
