A white rabbit is pulled out of a top hat.Because it is an extremely large rabbit, the trick takes many billions of years. All mortals are born at the very tip of the rabbit's fine hairs, where they are in a position to wonder at the impossibility of the trick. But as they grow older they work themselves ever deeper into the fur. And there...

I like that alot.

Intriguing. I've always wondered stuff like that myself. I mean, are people born with a gene that activates around thrity and you say "I'm gonna start gardening today"
I had three pints of weak beer this afternoon, then fell asleep at six o'clock. By nine I had a headache. I can't drink without feeling ill anymore. I might give up alcohol.
psmith:
weak beer will do that do you.
girlblue:
it's bad for you and full of calories anyway.
I had a day of hedonism yesterday. A half litre of Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream, two bagels with humus, two with cheese, some Polish fudge, lots of beer and a vegetable biriani. So much for the diet, but there's always tomorrow I suppose.

I posted on the topic of cars interests on the car group page. I have a project car that i left at my parents house in LA, a series 1 XJ6. So far that has been my only real project. I'm a bit of a Rover nut, nearly bought an SD1 instead (probably not a good idea, esp in this country where only 1k SD1s were sold before they left the market), also a fan of Morris, Jowett, and british fords.
psmith:
Did Triumph use Stromberg carburettors or SU?
I'm feeling slightly patriotic today. I wonder why?
Maybe it's because I'm enjoying life a bit more.
Fact of the day:
A country which was a former British colony is more likely to be a functioning democracy today than one which was never under British rule.
Imperialism wasn't all bad.

It's because I'm coming to the UK, isn't it?
I bought a pair of boots and a pair of sandals (!) from the sale at work today. I am happy.

I'm actually enjoying my job. I've never had a job I enjoy before. I work with people I like, I even like the customers, and of course the manager

I'm drinking more,
Eating a little less,
Going out about the same,

any nice houses for rent in chorlton to a non-student? i'm looking to branch out sometime in the not-too-distant future...
cellardoor:
At the moment i'm in Prestwich, not too bad coz the transport links are good, I work in the city centre so I need an area with easy access to town. I thought maybe chorlton because of the high student rate and therefore less chance of gettin killed for wearing baggy pants...
Started working at the Dr Martens shop yesterday. I was put to work in the stock room, under the supervision of Jenny Jenny is 23 and is lovely but I have no chance, she's a lesbian. Anyway, I was in the stock room today and it's cool, all very chilled out & relaxed. I just hope they keep me on after January.

'Smatt' is kinda the noise my PC makes when I do something wrong 
I heve done nothing all day. Not quite true - I ate a litre of ice cream. Now I feel guilty.I intend to start running again over the Christmas break, I expect I'll find an excuse not to though.
