The GF found a job and has plenty of time to finish her PhD before it starts.
We'll probably be talking to an estate agent soon

Been trying to get the ole lady to watch The Office for yeeeaarrrs.

Finally started it this weekend and she's hooked...of course.

The first time I saw an actual urinal was last year, after almost two decades of life. The first time I actually used a urinal was less than a month ago.
So here I am, a urinal newbe, trying to do my thing without too much awkwardness in a crowded toilet.( people actually standing in line for urinals) Suddenly, this really old professor with whom I've had a lot of conversations start using the urinal next to mine as I'm opening my fly. While trying to do my best to avoid anything resembling eye contact with the esteemed professor, I focus my eyes on the wall in front of me.

"THEY ARE WATCHING!"

Is written with a tiny script right before my eyes.
Needless to say, I crack up while trying to pee in a crowded public restroom right beside a peeing professor.
The only reason this is in the happy thread instead of the groove thread is the fact that the hilarity outweighed the shame.

This made me burst out laughing at the end of a crappy day.

Thanks Emmy

Dang that's hilarious!

Going to see The Revenant tonight. Cannot wait - since I stopped throwing up life has been revolving around home improvements, work and baby prep and it has got terribly BORING. Before I stopped throwing up life revolved around throwing up! Anything less than full on grown up psychological trauma from this movie will be a huge disappointment.

I did find not just one.. not just two.. but FIVE bras that fit me today. That's like Christmas all over again. Should last the year, I doubt I'm going to get that lucky again any time soon.

Turns out my minor panic in finding blood where Fiddler had been sitting is just a bout of feline cystitis, easily cleared with antibiotics. Phew!

However, the vet stuck a thermometer up his bum and he's still sitting in the corner giving us both evils. I'm so glad he has no access to Moranth munitions....

Well I got me a job.
I start on Wednesday with F1 Team Toro Rosso in Faenza Italy.
It's only an initial 3 month contract but I'm fine with that. All paid up digs and travel expenses (which I'll tear through - see below) included. A nice little package.
Going to get some brilliant experience cutting carbon fibre and other exotics.
Can you believe it was the only job I interviewed for in nearly 8 weeks of applying? It's so fucked my industry right now.
So I obviously have to leave my partner and my darling kids behind which is a total bummer. Probably gonna be the hardest thing I've ever done.
I also have to drive there.
I don't have to, but I've been advised that I'll need my car.

So I'm driving to Italy, from Newcastle upon Tyne. On Monday.
1250 miles give or take. Around 20 hours on the road.
Wow.

Well I'm really looking forward to the Mont Blanc tunnel and my brief jaunt through the Alps. As well as my epic trek through France. But it's going to be some effin drive!
I'm also not happy with the amount of toll roads in mainland Europe. Its pants.
Does anyone here have experience driving through France who could help me out? It seems to be brimming with them. Or has anyone had experience driving in Italy?

Hahaha. Like it.
However, there's only one way Clarkson can help me.
Dropping one of those ever ubiquitous Top Gear caravans onto his own over inflated head should do it.

Carling cup ticket allocation announced on lfcs website.
Looks like Im a lock to get a ticket so long as I don't sleep in or something stupid.

Which is a relief as I've already booked my travel and hotel for the final

Be my first time in Wembley

Now there's a game where I'm hoping that the winners will be a comet from outerspace or a zombie outbreak...

[Macros]

Am I wrong in thinking that this is huge and potentially career making?

No you're bang on target.
Both of those things, as well as scary and nerve wracking.
