Hey all...

Hope this thread name is okay...just moved the Gin Palace around the corner before we ran out of space!

See you soon. The bar's open!

Can we hire a cleaner for the Gin Palace? Maybe a nice boytoy?

Welcome Morris, extreme and NeedChoos.

Sorry I disappeared last week...RTOD arrived on Monday and I was feeling depressed and not able to cope with baby stuff. (And having read through most of the messages from Thursday, rather glad I skipped the pregnancy fears/horror stories bits at the time....) Am feeling better this week and pleased that DH is whisking me away for a dirty weekend (OV weekend...).

Cannot keep up with everything, but Skater, sorry about RTOD. Ski sorry about niet zwanger and general confusingness of body. Wildfig, sorry about the wrist.

VAG--sorry you are having a rough week. Feel free to go into a Cath Kidston store if it will make you feel better. Or knit something. I won't tell.

Even the knitting is going badly at the moment, Sarah. Feeling very much like shoving everything off my desk, onto the floor and jumping up and down on it before setting fire to it. There's probably a H&S regulation against that. Should go and buy some milk so I can at least have a soothing cuppa - but I cannot be arsed.

Am truly in a foul mood. Please pay no attention. Normal service will be resumed in due course.

Fuck - Its starts off a good day then it turns to shit.

Just found out didn't get my promotion - fucking sucks...

Fuck Fuck Fuck wanky fuck - really thought it was mine.

Crap!

Cosmosis · 27/07/2009 13:31

Sorry to hear that choos

laurielou · 27/07/2009 13:32

Ah, bollocks, sorry choos. VAG come & work for public sector, no-one would bat an eyelid at that behaviour.

Well, I've just endured all the slushy crap that is the "congratulations on your baby" card section.

sulk - I want one.

There, I've said it. Now pass the fucking gin.......

SarahAbroad · 27/07/2009 13:32

Awww Choos--that sucks. I'm sorry about that.

OP posts:
NeedChoos · 27/07/2009 14:24

I've no fucking excuse now - I'm going to have to start SWI - it was my get out clause for having to talk/do anything about it.

I shall do a couple of lengths in the pit of angst and despair then wallow in a jacuzzi of ruined careers.

Then I suppose there is nothing for it but to start pissing on sticks etc. Is that where it starts?

Fuck so pissed off.

laurielou · 27/07/2009 14:55

choos may I join you in the pit of despair? RTOD arrived.

Actually just hid behind my thankfully large PC screen at my desk & shed a tear.

I hate women who cry in work - ta-da!!

Feel rubbish.

wallow, wallow, me, me.

NeedChoos · 27/07/2009 15:16

More the merrier...just bring some booze.

I have such an ASBO attitide now really should just go - really not the done thing to have a Kev 'n' Perry style strop when one is in charge.

idealcamel · 27/07/2009 15:39

Am feeling your pain, people. This sucks. Dead arms to all those having the life-disappointments, whether RTOD or career-related.

I always find that lovely songs help with catharsis. That, or weepy movies. I prescribe a large dose of the alcoholic beverage of your choice, chocolate and Liz Phair or similar ranty girl music.

Or go and watch this - I defy you not to find it heartwarming and cheery.

triggerhappybaby · 27/07/2009 15:55

Oh man, the GLOOM

What can be done to cheer everyone up? Never drink gin when you are down, drink Pimms or something but apart from that there must be something to lighten the mood? How about a game of celebrity c*nts? I'll start:

Jeremy Kyle. What. A. C*nt.

laurielou · 27/07/2009 16:24

Alan Carr.

triggerhappybaby · 27/07/2009 16:29

You have to supplement your answer with What. A. C*nt. to make it absolutely clear in no uncertain terms how little value to you they are

SkaterGrrrrl · 27/07/2009 16:44

Hey dudes,

Glad to hear of good weekends and that you lot are on booty duty!

My feller is also a daily cyclist .. should I be worried about his swimmers?! On the plus side it does give him very, very hard thighs. Hmmm...

VAG can you not switch your addiction to a diet cola? (Or this new 'fizzy milk' the weekend papers were in raptures over?).

I think we have a record number of swear words in one post... ginhag, have you done a stint in the navy?

Laurie hurry up and report back on the state of your gusset!

SG

donttrythisathome · 27/07/2009 16:45

Bono. What. A. Cunt.

SkaterGrrrrl · 27/07/2009 16:54

Ahh, no just seen Choos' sweary posts. Sorry about the promo, chica.

A crappy day all round, it would seem.

MorrisZapp · 27/07/2009 16:59

Griff Rhys Jones.

He thinks he isn't a c*nt, but he is.

My pee sticks arrived this morning.

DP making me go for walk on beach tonight when I want to go home and watch Homes under the Hammer on replay.

GAH.

(swipes gin bottle)

idealcamel · 27/07/2009 17:20

Boris Johnson. What. A. (misogynist, racist, incompetent, pretending he's all, like, floppy-haired and cute with a secret mission to take over the world with all his over-privileged old Etonian mates) C*nt.

VeryAngryGusset · 27/07/2009 18:08

Good call on Boris. What. A. C*nt.

May I add George Osborne? What. A. Cnt. Also my brother in law. What. A. Cnt.

This is v therapeutic.

wildfig · 27/07/2009 18:10

laurie Poor you. Have a good wallow. The good news is that the pool of long-term despair actually has a jacuzzi at the far end. Once you get settled in, it's really quite comfy and the gin-saked bubbles of "Oh my God I'm so useless both the Daily Mail AND Mother Nature are mocking me, and me with these fecking heifer hips boo hoo hoo" cover up the secret suspicion that actually... [whispers] in the long run, not having kids isn't that bad. It's just the years when you're not having them and everyone else IS that's a headwrecking torment.

Having said that, I think what happens is that just as the lovely bubbles have lulled you to the conclusion that it's just not that big a deal and you'd rather give all your money to the skiing industry rather than the Early Learning Centre (and, ooh, look at my lovely unvaricosed legs that I get time to wax in order to have recreational sex with my man) that's when you get up the diff. And not before.

What. A. Cnut. Katie Price. AND Jordan.

Morris! A fellow Homes under the Hammer addict! That show could only be improved if they flashed up the current values of the houses that the greedy beggars shrewd investors spunked their cash on.

wildfig · 27/07/2009 18:10

VAG Is George Osborne your brother in law?

VeryAngryGusset · 27/07/2009 18:12

Now I'm struggling to think of any non-Opposition front bench Cnts. How anyone could think that electing a government of people who all went to the same school is a good idea is utterly beyond me. Being that school is even worse of course but any school would produce this level of bile - ffs it is not healthy. Cnts.

Blimey am angry today.

ginhag · 27/07/2009 18:12

Michael winner.

Arse faced smug cunt.

I am also in a bollocks mood.work/life balance stuff.

No actually make that 'i am in a bollocks mood because of work and life.FUUUCK'
