my nickname would be 'timewaster'

JulietteMontague · 11/04/2013 23:44

Road rage man didn't actually bother me so yes I was smiling.

Bill nooooooo

Pof is weird. Now exchanging messages with a gorgeous pilot. Who contacted me, seems amusing and interested. This is too good to be true. Pilots are also scoundrels aren't they????

KinNora · 12/04/2013 00:03

Bill, that is both a very funny and a very worrying thought. I will ask Showbiz to give me one ( steady now) and report back.

Joy of course I don't mind answering. I initially went on a 'Counselling Skills in Cancer Care' short course through work, which I really enjoyed, it was very useful, I could see exactly how it would practically help my patients and it was run by an absolutely brilliant psychiatrist who was hugely skillful - we watched video footage of him counselling and I sat there thinking he'd have me divulging family secrets and curled into a foetal ball after about 5 seconds.

As I was so taken with it and seriously considering a career change into patient advocacy or working with Macmillan, I decided to do the level one counselling course which I completed but then when I found myself doing counselling practice with fellow students, who generally used the sessions to moan about their cat having a cough and how their perm had gone wrong, and frequently thinking 'get a fucking grip' I decided that it might not be the career for me.

JulietteMontague · 12/04/2013 00:03

Pom pilots are scoundrels yes, what kind of pilot is he?

KinNora · 12/04/2013 00:04

Yep Pom -pilots = scoundrels and notorious party animals, especially Mexican ones ( according to my sister )

Pomegranatenoir · 12/04/2013 00:05

Working for jet2

bill think I would be weird question girl!!

MirandaWest · 12/04/2013 00:07

Pseudo period has made itself known. This is a Good Thing (and hopefully means that I haven't actually made a mess of the entirety of my life and am not totally doomed etc. Am glad this doesn't happen every month. Might even take note of when it does happen to potentially warn myself)

Marked some bits of exam papers. Drank (vanilla) coke. Obviously now rather too awake Hmm

Pomegranatenoir · 12/04/2013 00:13

God I can pick them!! Policemen, pilots, wonder what tomorrow will bring!!

Reported my post, just in case.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 12/04/2013 00:42

Juliette That's brilliant! Grin Good on Laura!

JulietteMontague · 12/04/2013 00:46

Isn't it! Grin

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 12/04/2013 00:48

Nothing like that happens in my earshot. Didn't a woman also live feed on twitter about an argument?

mercury7 · 12/04/2013 00:49

I had a first date with a pilot, he was very tall, bad posture, I nearly did a runner as soon as I saw him, ended up just getting up and walking out of the pub

Pomegranatenoir · 12/04/2013 00:53

So far so good with pilot. We have both got Maltese heritage!!

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 12/04/2013 00:55

That's good Pom

VelvetSpoon · 12/04/2013 01:02

Sorry to report I'm still awake (nearly dropped off at 10, then DS started yelling on the Xbox and that woke me up. Ugh) Laid in bed willing myself to sleep til about 15 mins ago, when I gave up and am now having a drink and some toast....at least I don't have work tomorrow.

Bill what do you think yours would be?

For mine, depends if they were being flattering or not! The ones who didn't like me probably MuchFatterThanHerPicturesSuggestedSheWouldBe girl. Or WeirdTeeth girl.

More positively I think Eyelashes Girl. I was actually called that by a bloke at a party last year Grin

Pom I know 2 pilots, one lovely, one complete rat. Hopefully yours will be the former :)

Pomegranatenoir · 12/04/2013 01:07

He just asked for more photos of me. He specified not rude ones but I did tell him that's not my scene. Feels bit weird. Hate being judged in what I look like but suppose that's the name of the game!!!

Pomegranatenoir · 12/04/2013 01:07

By what I look like! Bloody predictive text!!

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 12/04/2013 01:08

Send him a picture from google images Grin

Pomegranatenoir · 12/04/2013 01:21

Swapped numbers with the pilot. Might be a mistake...

48howdidthathappen · 12/04/2013 08:38

Juliette I do the blowing a kiss to road ragers. The look on their face is priceless. Have also been known to turn engine off and light a ciggy when an oncoming charmer wrongly decides it is their right of way. Me back up, oh no.

I don't think I will tell you what Mr R&R calls me Wink

Snapespeare · 12/04/2013 09:04

velvet hope you got some sleep - i woke up around twenty to two when nameless sent me a scrabble move and then slept on and off. meh.

I think I would ether have been called 'the tattooed lady' (so i shall call her 'Lydia') or 'the time travellers wife'

Nameless calls me 'professor', which is nice, but is what I called the prof - funny , I hadn't made that link until now. I shall gently encourage being called 'Mrs Robinson' Wink

lubeybooby · 12/04/2013 09:14

Morning all!

I still have the unreasonable withdrawal rage. In fact someone is going to get fired very soon if they aren't very fucking careful... been on thin ice a while and still taking the piss. Grrrrrrr Angry

I'm fine :o I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine laaalaaalaaa

Better go look at kittens or something

Oh and I'd probably be nicked named something to do with boobs (for the dates who met me) or thinking too much of myself (the ones I spoke to then rejected)
