This week's Army thread

[shambles70]

Morning comrades one and all. A meet up sounds like fun, but I'm a bit hesitant as I've heard the Northern men like to wander around in t shirts and shorts regardless of the weather. Can you confirm this, Jacks? I don't want to get beaten up for wearing a jumper if it's a bit nippy.

Re: Pasties...I will be bringing my own caterer, being Southern. I cannot be doing with spending the next few days pulling gristle out from between my teeth from the 'prime cuts of beef' they use in Greggs.

Re: Aldi/Lidl...I was speaking to a buyer for Aldi a while ago, and he said that Waitrose use exactly the same suppliers as Aldi/Lidl and repackage it. This is rather amusing... http://www.buzzfeed.com/lukelewis/ag...ems#.qnVaZOe8A

Was planning to take the day off today, but realised last night I have a meeting this afternoon...so I'm taking a half day today and leaving early tomorrow...hence I am still in bed, tra la la!:victorious:

Have a super day, troops x

Greetings from the workhouse - someone has to keep this feckin' country going !!

[shambles70]

...wasn't hearing much from you and was afraid a pink cloud had dissipated!!!...

Keep waiting for the pink cloud to turn grey but it hasn't yet, and long may it continue! I've just been pretty busy with my presentation...it's all shaping up nicely and looking forward to it, but it's a lot of work. Ironically enough it's about anxiety in the classroom...not so long ago I would have been in an alcohol-induced anxiety hell at the thought of it...don't get anxious at all these days!

Morning lovelies and soon to become adopted Geordies.

You might need to read the Geordie Temperature Chart, Shams.

The Geordie Temperature Scale
10 degrees - Southerners turn on the heating; Geordies plant gardens.
4 degrees - Southerners shiver uncontrollably; Geordies sunbathe.
1 degree - Southern cars won't start; Geordies drive their cars with the window down.
-6 degrees - Southerners wear coats, gloves and wool hats; Geordie men throw on a t-shirt and women wear mini-skirts instead of bikinis.
-10 degrees - Southern landlords turn up the heating; Geordies have the last BBQ before it gets cold.
-17 degrees - Southerners begin to evacuate; Geordies go swimming in the North Sea.
-25 degrees - Southerners cease to exist; Geordies throw on a lightweight jacket.
-60 degrees - Polar bears wonder if its worth it; Geordie boy scouts start wearing long trousers.
-75 degrees - Santa Claus abandons the North Pole; Geordies put on their long johns.
-113 degrees - Alcohol freezes; Geordies become frustrated because the pubs are shut.
-182 degrees - Microbial life starts to disappear; the cows on the Town Moor complain of farmers with cold hands.
-273 degrees - All atomic motion stops; Geordies start to stamp on the ground and blow on their hands.
-295 degrees - Hell freezes over; Sunderland qualify for Europe.

Morning Army brr cold and windy here again but we escaped the worst of the storm The north west got the worst of it and many places without power. Well done Sham on hitting 30 days well one more to go and also that your anxiety has improved. Its true al makes it worse. Have to go out later been stuck the last few days with the bad weather so dreading the cold but need food shopping and bills to pay. Be lovely if Roxy and Shambles could make it great to put a face to the poster and chat for real. Have a terrific Thursday.

Lol @ Jackie. Sorry Sham read wromg but 21 days is awesome so its another 6 days to go. I'm over 50 days now and next week some time is 60 I think been a long time since I got this far last I got close to 50 I relapsed but that's not happening can't throw away progress. I haven't any temptation as things are quiet so family parties or any get togethers etc where al is involved but awlays have to ready for this. £30+ % DReamy Ireland is likely is lucky to get high 20's for summer lol.
