Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[Emperor]

My brother moved house at the weekend and it was my job to sort out the TV and computers. Unfortunately, the previous owner had taken the jacks from the end of cables from the satellite dish. This lead to a day and half of pissing around trying to find the relevant F connectors (it also included a crash course in TV cable terminology), not helped by the fact the cable was the cheap 4.5mm variety. I feel like I've driven the equivalent of here to Carlisle and back (which, unless you live in Carlisle, is always going to be guaranteed to be a long haul ). Then they didn't want the TV where the cables come in and running an extension wasn't viable, so I had to work out how to set-up wireless TV with an off-the-shelf solution. If they'd left the connectors it would have taken me less than an hour but that was clearly not to be. However, although the chappie at the specialist audio visual seemed to consider it bizarre (after all they are only a quid each and you'd imagine they'd be fitted to the cables at the other end) I can't throw stones - when my folks moved out of their first house my (notoriously tight) granddad offered to lock up the house so they could start getting set-up at the other house, but when my parents spoke to the woman who bought the house they found out he'd made off with all the lightbulbs in the house. It was made worse by the fact that the lady was moving out of a battered woman's shelter and she'd clearly wanted as stressfree a move as possible, rather than having to spend the first night trying to cook in the dark.

I remember when you made us all post in the dark.

I still can...

dare.

Only if "Big Daddy" says you can.

... my internets gone funny. Strangely it works okay here (although when I first tried to access the forum I got an error) but google doesn't work! (Basically I can't search for stuff. Some of my bookmarks don't work either.)

I'd imagine it's a server error their side, but I'll try the old 'switch the router off and on again' trick.

'cos I lost my beautiful Planet replicas Dredd badge. It's been on a shelf since Hi-Ex but a couple of weeks ago I decided it just looked too damn good on my leather jacket, so started wearing it - this also sparked a couple of surprise conversations with random Dreddheads. Today it is gone.

My biggest fear was that a bag-strap or some-such would ping the badge off the pin, but the whole lot's gone. So either: It dropped off on the way to work this morning - which is surprising cos it's a proper brooch clip with the swivel-locky thing; Or someone at work nicked it from the back of my chair, which I find even harder to believe.

All in all though - ARSEBISCUITS! It was one of the lovely matt-finish ones  as well.

Dandontdare, that is a tragic story.  I feel your pain.
I got me one of those at Hi-Ex too and I haven't worn it yet, and probably never will. It's too good for wearing.

@ Emperor.
Should have PMed me. Best cable to use is RG6 with dielectric core not honeycombe. Most electrical shops would know the relevant f connectors you would require.

I forgot to shave this morning so I bought the cheapest disposable razors I could find in Boots. I may as well have used glasspaper.

[JOE SOAP]

You need to shave more, bitch-face.

When I practiced on your mom's pussy I accidentally lopped off her clit.

It all turned out for the best though, as now she can call me when she needs a pick me up because I can stimulate her from thousands of miles away.

Now I love warm weather and I think that people who complain about it are dumb and gay, but a couple of things I'm not crazy about are:

1). Nipple chafing. I'm wearing polyester blend all day at work and things can get pretty scratchy.

2). Bugs all up in my shit. I have a giant bite on my left buttcheek, elbow and shoulder and I don't want to be in a position where I can't bite my fingernails. EDIT: And also on my back, I would guess next to the fourth link on my spine. I have to use a pen.

I blame the moobs rather than your polyester fetish.

Keep your shorts on.
