Haven't seen one for a couple of weeks, although I admit I haven't really been looking...

but tonight I am tired, cold-ey, and have half an open bottle of rose, and half a bottle of red to see me through...

anyone with me?

I made the mistake of venturing on to the africa thread. Buzzkill.

Hello all Grin

Id plait my hair too but its a bit damp and Id look nuts in the morning

LineRunner · 08/07/2011 20:11

What's Buzzkill?

Can we make it into a cocktail for the party bike?

fiveisanawfullybignumber · 08/07/2011 20:11

Thankyou Flying Onion.Grin
DD's 2&3 in bed now, just DS2 hogging the PC so I'm relegated to my phone. Is being drunk in charge of a smartphone an offence or just foolish?
Sorry for your crappy news Spuddybean, enjoy your beer though.

LineRunner · 08/07/2011 20:12

Hi Dillinger.

I think we accept novelty wigs in extremis.

Spuddybean · 08/07/2011 20:13

Right, my beer is now gone and there is no more in the fridge. I'm off round the shop - i may even get 10 fags too!

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:13

ooh yes, what would be in Buzzkill?

Vodka, obv. Middle class dry white wine (or a fruity red??), Pimms....

and a Greggs sausage roll as a stirrer....

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:14

OP posts:
catgirl1976 · 08/07/2011 20:15

Am back now. Felt mean so I apologised and left

catgirl1976 · 08/07/2011 20:16

Oh TFO thats awful. When I found out I was pg I pretty much did a trainspotting. Miss them so much . And wine.

pithtaker · 08/07/2011 20:17

Oh, I'm never good at these threads, I get distracted too easily and when I

come back nothing makes sense, though that could be the wine

[home brew emoticon]. You're all lovely though and I like your shoes. (hicc)

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:18

Well I'm kind of a social smoker so I don't give myself too much of a hard time, but DP is a heavy smoker and I've now given up completely in a misguided attempt to show him how easy it is

Of course, I could always cheat.... Wink

OP posts:
Spuddybean · 08/07/2011 20:19

yeah me too (altho i've never been a daily smoker, just a boozey one!), i told DP i wouldn't smoke anymore, but as i know i'm not pregnant i may have a couple. I also conveniently find booze and fags help with period pain!

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:19

Catgirl I hate that whole "I've been to Djibouti and you probably haven't so I'm going to try and make you feel shit" thing

Makes me get argumentative...

OP posts:
LineRunner · 08/07/2011 20:19

No fags.

Did pocohontas smoke?

Oh, yeah, tobacco, America, she probably invented fags....

catgirl1976 · 08/07/2011 20:20

Well if you're only a social smoker light yourself one up. I won't tell.

I was a 20 a day girl but I had always been so fecking smug about how "I wouldn't smoke if I was pg - that's when I will give up - no need to tell me blah blah" I had to do it. Was HORRIBLE.

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:20

I think Pocahontas did coke too, on a night out

Well she looks the type....

OP posts:
catgirl1976 · 08/07/2011 20:21

Oh I know - it's so bloody annoying. Can't help thinking, what you've BEEN and you still came away with your head up your arse?? Bloody hell....

Still even if head up arse I think mis-guided heart in right place

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:21

you know what? Fuck it I'm bumming a fag off the neighbour. Why should DP's monumental nicotine habit deprive me of a pleasant Friday night smoke??

OP posts:
catgirl1976 · 08/07/2011 20:22

EXACTLY. Hope they have Malboros. Say hello to them from me.

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:23

arse what?

why are we talking about arses?

OP posts:
Spuddybean · 08/07/2011 20:24

oh dear Catgirl, that does sound horrible. I'm just a binging hedonist and i've refused to deprive myself of anything i want precisely when i want it. Fortunately addiction to anything didn't stick but i have always done massive amounts of everything in one go.
ie 60 fags in one night then none for 3 months till i fancy one again!

LineRunner · 08/07/2011 20:24

I've had to go back and read that original Africa post - "Well, I'd just abstain if I was a poor woman living in East Africa" - to make sure it was real.

I further see that the OP is a representative of our armed forces, apparently weary of dropping in endless water and rice.

Is this as shit as I think?

I feel pocohontii-angry.

TheFlyingOnion · 08/07/2011 20:24

oh get it now, and yes, thats more or less what I wrote on the other thread...

feed the wooorrrrlllld-orld, let them knowwww its Chrisstmasss time
