rhube, Uncomfortable Plot Summaries - very funny indeed.jaylake's link salad, vintage sexist ads.spindr and anyone else in Sheffield who uses cash machines on Fargate and The Moor - there's a new cash machine scam going on, so be careful. Verified by staff at HSBC and a press release by South Yorkshire Police today, so probably not a hoax.
ravenlas was found guilty, ordered to pay compensation and court costs. I can't help but hear Margie (Fargo) tutting and saying 'All for a little bit o' money!' - well, all for a little bit o' impatience. That garage visit has cost the guy a criminal record and £360 quid. *sigh* Not his finest Sunday afternoon, I'm betting...
ravenlas's work Xmas do. He'd spent all day trying to fix a very important server, was coming down with a cold, and had reached the very end of his patience for anything. So of course the trip into town took as long to drive as it would have to walk, thanks to an M&S van backing up traffic on the Stonebow, stupid drivers, a full carpark, parking across the other side of town and having to walk back down Micklegate and through town in the rain with all the usual Friday night idiots around. We got to the Merchant Adventurer's Hall around half an hour after the meal was supposed to start - people were actually just going upstairs to sit down. And there weren't enough places. At which point ravenlas had Had Enough. So we went home instead and changed into more comfortable clothes and had takeout and that was a much better evening.clotilde and smorgasbord's and playing the cello piece I'd been practising. Which didn't go too badly. :) Then I ran away (sorry, just too tired), came home, and am curled up on the sofa playing with Garage Band, attempting to put in the piano accompaniment to the cello piece. So maybe I can play along with it. Nowhere near as good as actually having someone accompany me, but better than nothing. :)
gothgrr - I doubt I'll be going to boxercise tomorrow. Bah. Humbug.ravenlas's new dvd - Strippers V. Zombies.ravenlas is cackling. It's the silliest film ever. We need t-shirts. His should be 'I have worked long and hard and now I CAN DO SCIENCE!!!' and mine should be 'Wif of Scientist' [sic]. heh. heheh. hee. *snork* alasdair1076 special, including a round called 'Obscureotron 5000', so I don't feel too bad about it. *grin* I got some answers in earlier rounds, and totally rocked on 3 of the 5 quotes. *heh* Should've known the others, too, but meh. *shrug* I bought a book by Allison Byrd called 'Bullrunning for Girls' which looks rather good, being a collection of horror stories.palmersperry assures me they've been introducing more flexible working because people are more likely to be in if they deliver parcels on a Sunday. :) Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading Hebrew Punk because Lavie Tidhar is a truly excellent writer. And I have a spare copy to give away. d_floorlandmine has very kindly (and swiftly) put his photos up online. You can find the people here, and other photos here. Many, many thanks for being our photographer! Yay! 
alasdair1076, a short film on the need for understanding and diversity in the workplace. In other words, More Zombies! lol john_the_hat came round to visit yesterday evening, which was lovely. Much nattering on any and all subjects, and stirfry, and biscuits, and Aeon Flux (the film). ravenlas fixed her pc and cooked stirfry, and we watched The Chronicles of Riddick. Then Sarah and I pottered off to the City Screen and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening watching The Waitress. ravenlas and I are selling our house. It'll be in Thursday's Press, and to save the curiosity, it's up for £149,950. Hurrah. No, we weren't planning on it. However, next door's house is also up for sale. Subject to contract. With us. *heh* For the princely sum of £185,000, we will be the proud owners of 5 bedrooms (4 of them doubles, 3 with sinks plumbed in, 1 with a shower and 1 with an en-suite shower room), 2 bathrooms and 2 conservatories. The living room is huge, and will easily take all our books without being filled to the brim. There's a rather large shed in the garden, and the loft is half-boarded, to take all our junk.ravenlas's bike... And there's still the living room to de-clutter.
paul_marks was up visiting, and with ravenlas, we went to the Riding Lights production of a play about Edgar Allen Poe. It's a youth theatre, and the son of a friend was in it. And it was smashing! They did such a good job with it, including 3 or 4 Poe stories within the play, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. We followed that up with a trip to Old Orleans for dinner, and all in all, it was a great evening.
