Berrie, Lyra, Oggs and Zeb chat thread

[ProfessorCalculus]

How many threads is this now?

Uppity? Well, how rude.
Sardinia was ok but not what I expected. The bit we went to was a bit run down and shabby but the beaches and forest were beautiful. DP did come in the end.
The shack turned out to be a brick-built structure in the end but still pretty small and not too comfortable. I was so glad we weren't in a tent when it was raining. That would have been miserable.

Evening

I do remember you talking about Sardinia, just didn't realise it was happening so soon. I wondered why you'd buggered off with no warning .
Glad you all had a good time and are suitably refreshed.

I think Berrie was just referring to your erm... passion for Twilight and a certain vampire .

I'm just over midway through Eclipse but am holding off now until I get a copy of Breaking Dawn so I will have a smooth transistion from one to the next.

Zeb has vanished. Hope she's okay.

Sorry Oggs, I was too busy to be excited about it so didn't really mention it.
What have you been up to? Have you managed to locate a bargain copy of Breaking Dawn? A girl on my flight home was clutching a copy. Having been vampire-deprived for a week I was tempted to rip it from her hands.

Not yet. I need to have a look on Amazon.

Can't decide between Edward and Jacob so I think I'm Team Switzerland at the moment.

There's no contest Oggs. Jacob's a boy, Edward's a man.

Berrie, I can see why you thought i was being uppity but I really wasn't. I just thought it was ridiculous that this grown woman was arguing a case that she knew nothing about. Just because she'd read some article in some newspaper it became fact in her mind, like the writer's opinion was some sort of scientific study. Really, the regard some people put on the opinions of journalists is ridiculous. We're just people the same as anyone else and so the opinion of one writer shouldn't be considered to have more validity than the opinion of anyone else. That's what got up my nose.

Still trying to revive my dead ipod. Someone else dropped their ipod in the sea. i hope they have some top tips. Right now there are no signs of life.

Hee hee, you don't need to tell me

Oh dear...I put dh's mobile in the washing machine...it's slowly coming back...

Apparently the salt water's a killer.

Ah...

RIP iPod.
What do you reckon has happened to Zeb?

Not sure. I don't think she always spilled all the details of her life as I am wont to do.

Is an ipod a posh mp3 player?

Oggs, you can't tell me you don't know what an ipod is. The original MP3 player. Made by Apple.
I got the back off and it was all full of sand and greenish rusty patches. I gave it a clean but now there's a great multi-coloured gash across the screen. i may as well give up, eh?

Hmm, no sign of Zeb on Facebook either. Should we be worried?

Has she been on any threads here?

Nope.

Really Lyra. I know nothing about Mp3s, Ipods etc.
I have a portable casette player that I'm currently listening to Ballykissangel on . I use it in the car as we don't have a radio/tape/cd player, and when I go out walking .
Dd was given a portable cd player with anti-shock/jog/bump/whatever that I used to use to listen to my Dr Who CDs when I walked, but I was listening to my Paul McKenna I Can Make You Thin Cd in bed and I fell asleep and it broke when it hit the floor.
I bought a cheapy cd player from Asda (£7) but it doesn't have the anti movement buffer thingy (of course not at £7!) so I can't use it unless I keep absolutely still. So no good for in the car or on the move, and I've given Paul the heave ho so I don't need it in bed either.

So yes. The world of technology really is passing us by.

I have a vcheap radio in the kitchen that can only, and I mean only, pick up R4 long wave, and a cd/cassette/radio player in the other room that used to belong to dh's parents so is at least 11 years old.

Ok, I forgive you Oggs.
Nothing from Zeb since April 2nd.

Grr, I'm tempted to smash the ipod to bits with a hammer. it's showing no signs of salvageability.

Have just sent her a quick text to check all is ok.

Of course it's not beyond the realms of possibility that she has changed her mobile number since Jan last year .

Got to go. DT is calling .

I'll let you know if I hear anything from Zeb.
