It's not 'Send', it's the 'Culture Cup', stupid.

Thread split! I feel a whole lot better!

Morning all. The 'happy days' is very intriguing, just what the thread needs now that we no longer have michaels's weekend anecdotes.

Sadly it was just a joke on the multiple use of day answers. Sorry.

Start stocking up on long lasting foods, avoid panic buying at the end. Looks like May has finally lost her nut

What has May been saying? I have been paying minimal attention.

Goodbye grey sky, hello blue...

She's giving over to the hard Brexit contingent and saying the ball is in the EU court and preparing for a hard Brexit.  I suspect ration books are in order. Lot of her mps are in partnership with the legatum institute under the guise of a European research group. Just read the first line of Bernard Jenkins MP article in the guardian today and you'll get the gist of the madness were dealing with. It might be a bluff  but the consequences of no deal are so disastrous that it's not a credible threat and there's a genuine chance we might get an accidental Brexit with the EU not understanding that they're dealing with Zealots, not politicians.

Essentially she's going to make a legally and practically  suspect offer that has to be rejected then blame the EU for abiding by international law. Papers will lap it up and that's where the food shortages start coming in as none of our ports are big enough or have enough manpower to handle it. You might want to shift into regulatory law if you can as there's going to be some serious work required that the morons at deloitte and Co can't handle.

That's a pretty serious matter, Shah, making a joke that goes over my head.

Morning fellas,

Geez... that's almost certainly going to end up a mess, Shah. Just read the article. I saw some UK rep trying to stand up to the EU the other day in Brussels. Such a difficult situation... they all seem fairly obstructionist and vindictive.

1. Thursday.

Correct

Where's Hero?
I feel like a vote right now. Should be interesting...

Aye TLD. It's a big clusterf@ck and it's only getting worse. People think they're going to get a land of milk and honey but in actual fact may end up with food shortages and job losses as there is a recession due in the economic cycle as well. Less a case of the straw breaking the camels back as it is a round bale of hay landing on it and instantly turning it into a rug.

Anyway enough about Brexit or my teeth will disintegrate. How the devil are you?

Great mate.
Some really crazy (but very nice) airbnb guests left early this morning to drive back to Melbourne.

We finally had a few drops of rain this morning but the clouds quickly burned off and it reached 34 degrees at lunchtime. Ridiculous...!
0.2mm + 1.2mm of rain in the last 65 days.

It's only a poll on the greatest artist of the last 100 years. Don't get so stressed by it.

I couldn't do Airbnb, firstly for legal reasons and secondly they might discover my harem. Do you do this often?

I'm having a bit of a run of guests at the moment... but have blocked Dec 15 -Jan 5 for some quiet time. I could run a few harems here. There's plenty of opportunity for differently themed rooms. What are the legal reasons... renting?

Just thought about Ashes test here in early January. I could charge more but think it's best I keep the fans out.
If one of you guys decides to make the long pilgrimage however, you are quite welcome to stay here for free.

No, there is no gas or electric supply to make my wives think they are in a cave in the Arabian desert with no hope of escape. The council frowns on people renting out properties without gas or electric supply.

Had some Indians here last week. The older bloke had the hairiest arms I've ever seen. Like some wild animal or some giant hairy spider. (Tamil)

The daughter, although a little overweight, had a pretty face and was quite friendly with me. Great knockers!

I was so paranoid that I'd have spice stains everywhere on the white counter tops but thank God they ate out every night.

No great big wood fires on the living room floor either! Was I lucky, Shah?

Na tamils don't use that much spice, the only problem there is usually comes from them spraying sandalwood around their own properties and shops and they're so used to it they don't realise how strong it it. My house currently smells like spiced lamb but the air filtering unit will sort it out.

You were lucky that they didn't bring 50 family members per room but that's just me being ignorant rather than a genuine grievance.

ha ha

Had a semi hard-on one morning when I came downstairs and saw the girl wearing this slinky body hugging purple outfit spreading my raspberry jam on some toast.

I did tell her to "help yourself to anything you see in the pantry" after all.

Yeah the local shopkeepers wife is a little attractive like that, well dressed and plump enough without being a fat ho. Pretty faces but Indian subcontinent ladies are generally like that.

Tough task masters too, yeah?
Could imagine how bad things could get if one got on the wrong side.

Like her hairy-armed old man said about Gandhi when we were having a little discussion about history one morning - "live peacefully by all means... but if threatened... fight for all you're worth!" or something like that.

He's probably going to rob you tonight.

I saw him leave for Geelong last Tuesday... supposedly.

What's grooving, notches?

I'm into the groove, rick, so let's groove tonight. Although obviously we don't need no fascist groove thang.

The site appears to be under maintenance a lot today...

Groove is in the heart, Jules.

Morning Shah.
Do you think we'll get a thread split in before 2018?

Morning Shah,

That really is scraping the bottom of the trough. There'd be nothing worse than being treated like a side of pork I'd imagine.

What goes on for you today my fine scaly friend? Any more news on the work situation?

Good Morning Jules. Are you... back... back in the New York groove?

We are one CC under a groove.

Afternoon notches

Afternoon, Dagless. Been loitering here waiting for you to join, felt a bit too bashful to do so on my own.

Afternoon, Galts always good to have the pleasure of your company.

You voting for Queen?

Yep, Queen and Led Zeppelin, though more of a vote against the other two.

Understandable...

Morning all.

Morning Notches, apologies spent yesterday in a lemsip induced haze recovering from quite a vicious cold induced backache.

Cold induced backache?

Morning mate.

Yup the veins constrict around the muscles. Sometimes you get some pain in your shoulder blade or joint. My upper back usually seizes up. How are you mate?

Better than you by the sound of it...

In the middle of GDPR shenanigans, so busy as hell, but it is quite interesting... At first.

Any news on the work situation?

My manager has been offering my contract to other employees the complete I am a twonk of the highest order. The manager at the client has agreed to the change now just a matter of sorting it out so expecing that to take 6 months. But finally got a firm commitment to change them

Nice, on the up mate.

The Christmas holiday (sorry Shah, don't want to offend) meals are being booked here... FFS

As someone who doesn't follow any religion I find your use of the term 'holiday' offensive as the word's roots are to be found in religion.

I consider this a microaggression on your part.

Pretty much is TBH, Galts, I shall await the dire consequences of my actions...

I'll do the only thing I can and wage a war on social media. I expect to have Streep, Thompson, Jolie and Paltrow in my corner very soon as it must be nearly a day since they last had a bandwagon to ride on.

Just to keep the CCPR going...

Morning notches

Morning rick. Good work.
We don't want today to be unlucky for the CC.

Indeed, Jules, though I would expect better from the CC residents than triskaidekaphobia.

But better being safe than sorry.
