is URKM snowed in?

....no post since 11 last nite
I'm home as A3 closed.
Result!

 

Got QuarkXpress set up at home, my staff are in three different
locations, and we're producing the paper sort of remotely. Ain't
technology great?

 

hello, good afternoon, and welcome to magazine production circa 1990.

<fx: remembers CiX fondly>

 

I'm not, but I've no intention of leaving the flat til I go to the pub
later.

 

Sounds like a plan to me.

I've worked up a bit of a thirst tobogganing[1] with the kids at
lunchtime.

[1] found a use for a mates old skis which are nowly smoothly attached
to the sled runners which now goes like shit off a highly polished
teflon shovel.

 

Christ, they'll be like chapel hatpegs in this weather.

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ

Ah, good. Someone's already on the case.

 

It's got fucking ridiculous in the past few years.

Wankers running tabloids. Cunts, the lot of 'em.

 

I'd have asked her "why the fucking stupid question"

 

But what was she expecting you to say? "So that I and all my paedo
internet friends can masturbate over your grandchildren later?"

and had you said such, what exactly was she going to do?

 

I didn't mean it as in impolitely but rather as in "mind you own business
nosey parker". That said it has become an issue of some public hysteria.
Well public - as in sections of that should be prevented from breeding.

Heh actually I think Champ should have said exactly that! I doubt I would
have been quick enough off the mark myself in said situation though.

 

Things change over time. It's inevitable.

20 years ago she would have been asking you out.

10 years ago you'd be asking her out.

Nowadays you just look like you want to **** kids.

 

I'll take that as a particularly wordy "heh".

 

I'd have equally politely told her to **** off.

 

One thing I *love* about ukrm is its resourcefulness when it comes to
"making it go faster".

Even sledges. )

 

"Why do you ask, madam?"

"You might be taking pictures of kids for sexual gratification"

"Madam, are you suggesting that you think children in snow wear are
erotic? You should seek help"

 

I liked the sky sky sky.

 

So, who's proto-human is it then?

I like the ones with the big sky. Did you use a polarizing filter on
them or is it post-processing?

I must take a wander around my local park tomorrow. Wanted to go
today but work inconsiderately got in the way.
