One Thousand Posts!

[kaliha]

This 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.

Congrats on the 1000th post! *throws out streamers*

Oh look! party!Dalek's come along to join in the celebrations. Does his ray-gun throw out streamers rather than death-inducing rays?

[khallandra.livejournal.com]

He can't say "Exterminate", he gets slightly confused :) kelvinator_luv ;)

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

*giggles* He needs a party-hat though.

1) YAY! 1000 posts! Actually, you made me look at my post count, and I'm already on the 1005th one. I missed a celebratory post! Anyway. It's been a pleasure to be around for the latest posts, you know.

2) WHO EATS THEIR OWN BOOGERS? EW.

3) Poor car. Poor nana! :(

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

Apparently 1 in 70 of us. Full of protein :/ And it's been a pleasure having you around.

*applause*


YAY!!! *dabs corner of eye with hankerchief* Great speach :) FANTASTIC SPEACH!! So moving! ;)


:D:D:D:D


P.S. If your nan's doctor was Dr. House - he'd be watching the soaps with her ;)

Yay to you! 1000! That's impressive. And I still hope that your nan will be fine.

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

I'm sure my nan will be, she hates being in hospital and she hates missing her soaps, that's a sure sign that she's getting better. In some ways it's a good thing she was admitted because they've picked up lots of other stuff that was wrong with her and they're fixing it.

I think I'm much too chatty.

[colourful-muse.livejournal.com]

Oh, you aren't bad in the way of being chatty at all. Look at me... *shakes head*
Yes, it's good that they do a big check-up if she's already there. I remember when my great-grandma had something wrong with her stomach, and they had no idea what it was, and they were talking a lot of nonsense, and then they discovered that she had an appendicitis. But who thinks about that with an 84-year old woman?

You aren't sobbing nearly enough in your speech! A momentous occasion such as this requires far more emotion!

Hope your nan is better soon =)

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

Sorry, too busy being overcome with emotion to sob more :p Plus I used all my tear allowance for this week lamenting over Derek leaving Most Haunted.

[refusion.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'll EVER get over that news ;-;

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

I know!

[officefurniture.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on your 1000th post, that's damn impressive!

Awww, does Claire not have a specialist subject, or do Claire-and-Hugh count as one person?

[--kali--.livejournal.com]

She couldn't think of one last night. so she is without a Specialist Subject, bless.
