Music Section Morning Tea Society

First topic message reminder :

I've already sent you mine.
Northern hemisphere fist.

Tea Society riles don't allow a fist post to be michaelsed on New Year's Eve.

Good intervention there Julius, you may have saved the Morning Tea Society.

Thanks, but I ruined it by mis-spelling 'rules'. That has really ruled me.

I wouldn't worry too much. Samarkand wasn't built in a day.

Haha, megafist.

Happy new year you b*astards.

A happy 2020 to you too mate. I'm glad that last decade is over.

Sicond fist of the year.

Tird fist for Galted, this surely is his finest moment.

I keep thinking it feels like Sunday... bloody Sunday every day.

My fist sicond for the new year.

A satisfying New Year tird.

Is power restored to the Shetlands, now Super?

Not while I have any say in it, PJ.

Congratulations to Galted on his New Year's hat-fist.

Cheers, Julius, means a lot to me. And it's a relief that you weren't killed by a US drone strike outside Baghdad airport.

Increases the likelihood that it was Shah who was killed.

I think the Iranians are a bit too moderate for Shah.

Must have been a decent sized one judging from the shrapnel marks on the wall near his car. Looks totally puckered with cricket ball sized holes.

Joining in with the Fist band wagon.

'sup notches.

Well played, Rick. Don't mind playing sicond fiddle to such an early fist, sometimes you just have to sit back and admire.

Happy new year, Galts, nice time? I reverted to being a student apparently, bed at daft o'clock and sleeping in until midday.

Was decent thanks. Not too many lie-ins with a 2-year-old stuffing toys and remote controls into my face but had a good time.

Excellent, mine too, my parents seem to have lost any sense of time as they decided to come up last Thursday and Friday thinking I was off work for some reason, so a bit of juggling to do, but barring that, all cool in the pool.

Managed to avoid going out for New Year's again which was a bonus. Discovered the PlayStation Dec/Jan sales a bit too late to properly enjoy the festive season though.

Lots of people planned lots of things but everyone just ended up in the local, which was nice.

I played Luigi's mansion on the switch, great game, and finished off the borderlands DLC, just picked up Outer Worlds from a mate so will crack on with that at some point.

Though quite looking forward to Goat simulator as a free game this week.

Thought I'd clicked on Daily Mash or Rochdale Herald when I read about the Goat simulator, was quite surprised to see it was for real.

Caprinae fist.

It was a game on PC made as a joke that kind of got a cult following and then turned fairly big, it is a laugh to play with mates.

Sicond.

I'm located too near Aberdeen to safely Google "goat simulator" at work, so will have to wait until later to find out what it is.

Tird.

Lol out loud.

As long as you don't typo goat stimulator, you should be OK.

I almost did, rick. Looks like my kind of game.

Has anyone died recently? If they have it's not me. All I'm doing is deciding how best to f*ck up my life.

Have you tried smack, Jules? Having seen it first hand f**k up many lives, it is remarkably effective.

Fist

Sicond.

I would suggest spice, makes for great videos.

I'm glad I didn't quite win the CC, as that has proven effective also.

Just had a look at the results, reminds me of my ill-fated university career.

Tird.

Super_Realist on the golf board really is the worst type of c*ntslice. I don't know why I keep going back to argue with him - other than I think he genuinely gets wound up and I can imagine his pompous indignation as he hammers away at the keyboard. He was getting worked up about Stormzy wearing slippers yesterday.

Just had a read, that is some thread. A bit like the Royle Family meets Spaced.

Which thread is that?

It's the Drive 4 Show thread.

I like to think that I'm playing the Nana from the Royle Family role on that thread.

What a strange thread, everyone is really angry, I thought golf was supposed to be chilled out.

I was called an "oaf" on there a few weeks back. It's a rough old place.

Crazy times, U OK Hun?

In other news I just saw a genuine advert for a reverse paid internship, where you were asked to pay them $15 an hour to work there, this made me quite irritated, but I wouldn't stoop to "oaf"

Surely you'd be entitled to set your own hours?  Sounds ideal.

I'm no legal expert but if you simultaneously worked for one of their competitors surely you'd be working negative hours and they'd have to pay you for it?

Alas not, you would then get fired and have to pay them severance.

Makes as much sense as any of the rest of the employment contract.

Fistichaels

Rickshaw sicond. (watching the cricket... so a play on "Renshaw")

What's new, mate?
Still surviving here. OK today but as for tomorrow... prognosis smokey.

It looks mental over there at the moment mate so I am glad you are not a koala.

Your PM is coming across as a bell end (not like we have any room to talk) as well.

Nothing new here, same shizz different sewer coming into busy time of the year getting contracts sorted before tax year end.

Football is still rubbish...

Glad I'm not a koala. Don't think our fauna will recover quickly. It will never be the same again.

He's bumbling through damage control now. Would have been better if he had cancelled the Hawaiian holiday, put the religious Bill to one side (he's a Pentecostal fanatic), got out to a fire front asap and acted like a genuinely concerned human being. None of that "thoughts and prayers" stuff every second sentence. That really angers many people. They want immediate action and some $$ to rebuild their lives.

As our former Treasurer, he's so obsessed with balancing the budget, so it was like trying to get blood from a stone in announcing the $2B assistance package. He was so slow in fully understanding the scale of it all and responding to such a desperate situation. Some people have lost everything and the fires have been well out of control since around 10 December. He also lacks the hands on skills of our former fire-fighting PM... who was there in the blink of an eye... and who is also a modern day religious zealot (a Jesuit in his case). It just doesn't add up does it?

I've had football. All codes just about.
It just doesn't excite me like it used to. Maybe it's something to do with the types of people involved and all that gambling associated with it now.
I find it all quite repulsive. Give me a slippery and muddy pitch any day over these safe ones. It was more enjoyable to watch those sliding tackles.

Thanks fist it's Friday.
