I think Blackburn now has swine flu.

oooh is it halal? Those Asian kids won't like that one bit, they can only deal with Aubergine flu... ahem... anyway,

(except for me because i'm really cool)

if anybody wants to know (i'm telling you anyway), i now have 50 pairs of shoes

shops ftw

Shops indeed, FTW!!! 50 pairs of shoes? I don't even have 50 pairs of socks... But having 50 pairs of shoes, for a guy, is COOOOOOLL... I seen your shoes once, and they were kinda snazzy, real lady killers!!!! You rule Yeld!

I think Blackburn now has swine flu.

I live in Redditch, we had one of the first five cases in Britain.

[Lance]

I think there have been 35 cases in my county. The one that died yesterday was a visitor from out of state. That seems to be true of pretty much all of the cases, but eventually there will be locals infected. I've not been worried so far. I probably would refuse to get vaccinated because the only two times I did for earlier flu versions, I actually got the flu on the second day after each vaccination and was sick for two weeks on both occasions. I do not believe this was accidental coincidence.

i could either use white shoes and do actual images or i could do stilettos with any colour..... tasty

There you go girldar. I know you've been having trouble with the old typos recently, so I fixed it for you

I don't know how anyone, male or female, could choose when they have that many shoes. I only have about 4 pairs of shoes, and I only really wear two of those pairs. I wouldn't even have the space in my house for that many shoes. Do you keep them in the place where your bed used to be and sleep on them or something?

[yeldar2097]

oh god that would be lush! no i have a big 'in-wall' cupboard for my shoes

stilettos? god no. although i do have quite a few pais with pseudo-heels to boost me to 6'1, my favourite height

[silverfoxy]

50 pairs of shoes !!

WTF

I own 3 and 2 of them are trainers.

Even my Mrs doesn't have that many and if she did I'd be having a word

Sort it out ....

[stinkleroy]

lol...yeld and his shoes again...I don't understand the fascination

[OBH]

I injured my calf playing football, kicked square in the calf after a brilliant sliding tackle
One day later and my whole calf has come out bruised and green!! its rancid!

[ACE-FLO]

oh god that would be lush! no i have a big 'in-wall' cupboard for my shoes

A closet?

OBH - OOOoohhh, nasty... Green bruising? Never seen that - any chance of a pic?

(my morbid fascination of wierd injuries gets the better of me once again)

[yeldar2097]

yeah a closet, the work escaped me for a while there...

stinkleroy! how could you not understand? you girls are meant to be on my side

[mdhay]

There's no shoe fetish in her mind.

[ACE-FLO]

lol at shoe fetish... its not an obsession then?

---

edit. It's after midnight, I went into my garden for a smoke. ****! this is freaking me out, but there's a dead cat on the lawn! wtf?

how do I deal with this?

[mdhay]

Just get the LHC to blow it up* and explain the cat's true origin.

*Don't blame me for obliterating everything.

[Lance]

Inflate a balloon, instead. Watch it rise into the sky, and ignore what's on the ground.

[ACE-FLO]

Oh **** man, I forgot all about the dead cat, saw Lances' post and rushed off into the garden to see if the cat was still there???

Er, yeah, it's still there - kind of. Half eaten by a wolf by the looks of it!

What the **** do I do now? I don't wanna move it myself but I don'tr want it on the lawn either????

The balloon option, I might try that - if it's some kind of Jedi Mind Trick!!!

I cant even call the RSPCA - the bloody thing is dead... Cant call the police, they'll think I'm crazy, I can't call the vet - they'll think I'm crazy too... I might just pick it up (with gloves) and chuck it into the allotments behind the garden!!!!

But the bloody thing stinks of dead cat!

Aaarrgghhhhh!!!!

Suggestions are more than welcome! ( i took the wrong day off work, now I have to deal with this **** )

[Lance]

Judging from your fast-rising postcount, I had begun to suspect that EVery day was your day off work.

[ACE-FLO]

I'm owed some time - which I'm taking now - and being an editor of a bi-yearly magazine, does leave me with more time on my hands than I first though possible...

Contracted hours per week? - 30

Actual worked hours? - more like 10 ( it is possible to make out you've worked more hours than usual, if you have access to internet at home, thanks to this site - I think I may have clocked up maybe over a 100 hours of time without working and got paid for... not how hard you work is it Lance, something about being smart and able!!!)

Paid for - All 30 hours (though payroll messed it all up previously, I now have it sorted)

[Lance]

I've had several years not getting paid at all. Lots of wonderful freedom, though there are consequences to be 'paid'.

[ACE-FLO]

hah! consequences to being paid? Like paying back your overdraft?

btw, I got rid of the cat - well supervised the removal of the carcass at any rate... thank the Lord for gullible neighbours!

[Lance]

No. One pays a price for the freedom of not being paid regularly; that price is poverty. Lots of time, little cash. I made about 400 dollars U.S. in 2006 and 500 in 2007. It had severe economic consequences, but I enjoyed the free time anyway.
