It's quite uplifting coming last actually...

Ha ha. "Not as thick as some...." (line from an Aussie crisp ad from a few years back)

i look scary , a real thug

Think we need photographic evidence, I don't believe you look like a thug...

Yeah Kenny, put it up on SuperBru.

I might just do that , wife says i look like a certain Mr Chopper

you handsome devil...

i like it , just need to shave my head and get a few more tattoos

And get someone to bite half your ear off...

oh yeh forgot that

well im off to the mother in laws for tea , see ya later

See you later. Have an extra shortbread or two for me.

I'm making shortbread!!! Just put 2 christmas cakes in the oven. Jeez who needs a gym when you can make cakes by hand. Think my arms are going to drop off!!

I love shortbread. Just the aroma of it baking gives me a high.

Good to hear you're busy with your business on top of your busy work week Swanny. Those Christmas cakes sound heavy.... yum!

I'm knackered LB if I'm honest! But that's not a complaint

The christmas cakes weigh nearly 4lb each, without the tin the final mixing with all the ingredients is tough going!

You should make some shortbread, it really is easy peasy.

My Mum is the expert.... can't compete. She has all those different shaped moulds and pans, etc. I always come home with containers stuffed with cakes and other treats.

Besides, I'm slightly lazy in the kitchen.

so now we get to the real point.

I don't particularly enjoy cooking but baking is therapeutic somehow. Maybe 'cos meals are a necessity but baking is a treat.

I really need to find another wife (divorced since 2000)... and one who can cook preferably!

so... absolutely no male chauvinism going on then...

You could learn to cook, it might help you find one. A man who can cook is a very attractive proposition.

You got me there. Good advice.

I didn't mean it like that. Honest. Just need a cuddle and a cook in one.

I know you didn't . If I thought you did then you'd just have got

I'd hate to be in a headlock with those 'oven arms' of yours Swanny!

Don't worry about the arms LB, they're just pretty weak twigs

The meat tenderiser is different matter...

I could never imagine you being that evil.

No i cant imagine you as evil Swanny

Whereas Kenny and me are only 'evil' if provoked.

You're probably right, I don't really do 'evil'.

I do have a hell of a temper on me though but it's usually well hidden. Losing it just takes far too much energy and effort, I can't be ar$ed!

Yeah, it's not worth it really. Think like a Buddhist...

I do try to but there are occasional provocations, and one definite candidate for the meat tenderiser... I don't need to elaborate do I?

Zen says we are all one and one is all

Are you sure he wasn't talking about the HT score between Nepal and Tibet?

yes that did finish a draw

Had problems with my PC today... it didn't want to know me for about 5 hours.

But the Telstra call centre girl in Manila reset my password and it's all fixed now.

Thank heavens it didn't happen earlier in the week when you were doing the tender!

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. I must have been skating over thin ice without even knowing it. I had about 3 or 4 programs open at one time and kept forgetting to close what I wasn't using.

Would you believe in the middle of it all there was a bit "provide an organisational chart showing your understanding...." so I had to fork out $137 at about 4am to purchase some software from Illinois or somewhere.

It downloaded so smoothly and quickly (once I'd paid) and if I'd had this problem then - I'd have been well and truly stuffed!

Really doesn't bear thinking about! I'm thinking of getting another laptop/PC purely for business use. That way, should it ever become necessary, I'll have an alternative option. And an external hard drive that I can save everything on; plan C

I need to look at doing something like that too. I save important things on memory sticks but I need to have a plan C too.

Memory sticks are great but I generally just use them for photos and stuff. Don't know if you can save software on them. I'm looking at digital audio typing software and need to check if I can save that to a hard drive. Thank goodness a mate I used to work with is an IT whizz, he's kindly agreed to help me set up my website. I suspect I shall owe him a few fairly soon

Yeah Swanny, I had one built 4 years ago and you start getting inquiries and orders from out of the blue you hadn't expected.

Even if one or two leads dry up (identify these quickly so you don't waste time), forget about 'em and concentrate on all the others (the ones you like) because they are the ones which are bound to be successful.

It's all about separating the golden wheat from the dry chaff. Select the best!

i hate computers

They're a necessary evil. What we do without the internet? It's my first port of call now when I want to research something. Excluding Wikipedia though... obviously.

that is true , i just hate the hold they have over our lives . But then i'm on mine all the time

I know, I spend all day at work on a computer then get home and switch the laptop on! Nuts really. I am trying to reduce my computer usage though, I'm ashamed to say that I haven't read a book in absolutely yonks and I love reading.

I have asked for a few new autobiographies for christmas so fingers crossed

I was in Waterstones this morning and could have spent a fortune! Books by favourite authors that I didn't know had been published, and a whole load more that just looked interesting. And I've got a pile that I've been bought/bought myself that I must start. I think reading more will be my New Year's Resolution.

it was one of the only perks of being laid up last year , i got to catch up on some books i had been meaning to read . I must read The Hobbit again this week before the film comes out aswell

I have to admit I've never been that bothered about The Hobbit. I've only read it once admittedly, and I was only about 8 or 9. Maybe I was too young and I should re-read it.

it's my favourite book i have read it about a dozen times and seem to pick out different things each time

I've never been bothered by Lord of the Rings either, maybe I have missed something. I will re-read both of them

so you should

i love them , the wife wont go to see the film and i'm not going with a mate so i shall be sat there all alone

I love going to the cinema by myself. Nobody asking inane questions, or chomping maltesers next to you

Did I imagine it or have you just changed your location? Weren't you armed and dangerous before?

yes i was , been keeping a sharp eye out ever since the shed got broken into , but have calmed down a bit now
