One Thousand Posts!
September 7th, 2005 10:45 amThis is a momentous occassion.
My One Thousandth Post.
I suppose I should make a big speech or something, thanking you all for putting up with reading my ramblings and stuff over the last two-and-a-bit years.
So, yeah, Thank You!
I'd like *sob* to thank my mum, dad, cat and husband *cries* for supporting me. My teachers for teaching me to type; Van Statten for creating t'internet *giggles*. Everyone who reads this and leaves lovely comments *sobs louder*. I lvoe you all!! *ahem* I'm silly.

Pub Quiz
So we toddled off to the Pub Quiz; myself (Specialist Subject: useless facts), His Lordship (SS: sports, rock), His Lordship's sister and hubby (SS: Late 70s & 80s pop), Ellie (SS: Law type stuff), Claire and Hugh (SS: 60s & 70s Music).
Because Jim wasn't there (being in Slovenia and all) we named ourselves Jim's in Slovenia in his honour.
Random facts we learnt fro the quiz:
[x] The Crown owns more land in the UK that the Church and the National Trust.
[x] Antelopes are the animal that can jump the highest
[x] Locusts are the single biggest pest
We did okay, we came joint second. (As there's only 4 bottle of crap beer for second we have to have a tiebreak). The question being: How many people in every pick their nose and eat it. A quick straw poll around the team gave the guess 1 in 4 (yeah, we're all disgusting), the other team said 1 in 200.
The actual statistic is 1 in 70 (there's a lot of liars out there - there must be. :) )

In other news:
[x] back at work now, still full of cold
[x] another new temp, she's called Nic, she seems really nice. Did Archeology at Uni. Discussing places to go out in Shrewsbury. She's impressed by my getting barred from all of Shrewsbury that time
[x] broken the car again. Something happened to the clutch when I was going around the roundabout by Tescos last night and now it's 'clicking' when I press it down. We think the clutch cable may be going. Shall be trying to get it booked into the garage for the weekend
[x] my nan is still in hospital. She's ready to go home apparently. She's been moved into the intensive care ward. Currently she's got high blood sugar, pneumonia and they x-rayed her yesterday and discovered she's got gall stones too. it can only happen to my nan. Bless. She's fine though. (Well as fine as can be expected) Annoyed that she's missing her soaps though.
