I think it is more likely to be heroine, or maybe pot
heroine? What, like Supergran?
Posted by
beargod, 15:22, 31st July 2003:
maybe, was she on Dr uggs too?
"likely to be heroine, or maybe pot"
Because they are very similar drugs in their effect on people, aren't they. ;)
*thud*
Sorry, I didn't catch the "dr uggs" reference at first. D'oh!
He's a Traffic Accident Investigator. One of those blokes who takes photos of crashed cars and draws the yellow chalk marks in the road. 6 weeks later he stands up in court and says "due to the number of yellow lines, it was his fault."
As of November this year, you can add the word "Retired" to the job title.

Ha DrUggs, der, I never thought of that. Maybe his film had some strange inuendo's in it, but from what I can remember, there was an ugly looking main character and he kept a gorilla in a cage that went mental and did in the laboratory of Dr Uggs. I think the whole set caught fire at the end if I am not mistaken. Oh yes, and there was one of those beds with elecrtric attatchments, a bit like the one Frankenstein was created on.
Ha! I've created a monster!!

Mine works in the middle management of a firm that organises financial printing in the Production area.
My dad is quality control manager for GE, General Electric, ever heard of them?
Mine is a systems manager, I believe this involves writing computer programs
mine's a banker. spelt with a B.
Is anyone's dad a dustman?
with a dustmans hat?
anybody's dad wear cor blimey boots?
Redmaiden: The last "systems manager" I met was the size of an inflated London cab with a strange addiction to eating chicken pie (he was very lucky - there's a poultry farm about 10 minutes drive from his workplace) and browsing through user emails. He was exactly like the Bastard Operator only he wasn't funny. Just miserable. He spent all day locked inside, basically, a broom cupboard. And he had bloody large headphones which he plugged in to one of those old Roberts radios. And he'd always address me by saying "ahh, Mr Morris" - a bit like the Gestapo, but it would be quite possible to run away. He only said that because I insulted him via instant message.

My Dad is a Headteacher, was a bog standard teacher at the school Vic and me went too, then moved to Cairo, now is in Lusaka. Get to see him twice a year if lucky. He was at my wedding, paid for some of it and gave me £1500 as a present. Little bit more info than asked for but fuck it!
Oh and my stepdad was a lecturer at the uni I went to, he is now retired.

Ironically I read that last bit as "he is now retarded"
not really but its quiet and I wanted to make a crap joke

Rosie, 14:09, 6th August 2003:
LOL!
My dad used to own his own firm (a garage), but when him and my mother got divorced he paid someone to blow it up so that he could claim he was bankrupt and not pay my mother any maintenance.
the evil fucker.
he now works for someone else, doing something equally as dodgy i expect - although that's unfair as I don't know for sure.

how is your monkey rosie?
Posted by
Rosie, 15:07, 6th August 2003:
Monkeys a bit lonely at the moment. Si and I are falling out about moving coz its a bit stressfull - due to the fact that we can't really afford anywhere half decent. I turned down that posh flat today coz I know that we can't really afford it. Anyway nevermind, eh? Something will turn up. And when it does my monkey will be happy again! Hurrah!
Posted by
beargod, 15:10, 6th August 2003:
Hurrah!
It will all be fine one day, the economy will crash and we will be able to buy a house with a couple of pounds, We should make a revolution against the government soon though.
I recon you should buy a place though, It will be alot cheaper for you and you get something out of it in the long run
Posted by
Rosie, 15:11, 6th August 2003:
I can't buy coz I'm in debt. I will be able to when I pay the bank back the money I already own them......(when I'm 47!)
Right I am here now...
So, BG, when do you move in?
Rosie, sorry to hear about yer'monkey. And have you found another place to stay?
Posted by
beargod, 15:30, 6th August 2003:
I move in about 7 weeks or less if all goes to plan, but we do not know an exact time or anything
good, hope everything goes to plan
Posted by
beargod, 15:40, 6th August 2003:
cheers dude, how long till you quit now?
Buying? Now is blatantly not the time to pur chase.
Wait till the housing market crashes. Or the revolution comes.
Except if the latter's the case, odds are a shotgun will be more useful than a mortgage.
1 week tomorrow is my last day! Cannot wait..

beargod, 16:00, 6th August 2003:
Well, buying is cheaper then renting, and This is the time in the south to buy, cos house prices have reduced now

Well I thought it was gonna drop if not atleast stablise. However we got a house for £108950. The first house we could have had on this new estate was £96950, which is now up for sale at £149500. Our style of house goes for £4000-£5000 more than the other mentioned house, so fuck knows what ours is now supposed to be worth. All in the matter of 4-5 months. Still havnt paid a mortgage repayment yet, although I guess we will soon do!
tommorris, that's not my dad coz he's a vegetarian so he doesn't eat chicken pie
