Grumpy UK
This damned weather - I've had my heating on today. Talk about the frozen North......it feels like a scene out of Game of Thrones....expecting White Walkers soon

Well "winter is coming" in the North Ian - it is July after all. Meanwhile down here, the neighbourhood children (including my own) have invaded my garden with water pistols I feel as if I'm in a Horrid Henry book! Meanwhile, I'm staying in the house so they can't get me...

Now I'm trying to download a free book to my kindle, and I'm being asked what programme to use - any suggestions?

:-( HELP!!!


:-( HELP!!!"
He He That's so sad - you realise Waterstone's won't be able to pay their staff now!

:-( HELP!!!"
Saw the thread title...and I see we have the usual suspects already here!
Good one Nick...bet that causes a storm at the local Tesco's (other retailers are available)...but how do you keep it quiet in the library??
Ooh, sorry Mr Moderator...need a book reference...so how about

...see you on the water (when I finally get out of detention...I think I've just earnt another one)!

You might need extra memory. Try

I see Rupert is up before the beak today.....will we get any truth....I don't think so......better off with interviewing









Crumbs
I do, I do love it...but I pop back to find I appear to have stumbled into Emergency Ward or maybe I'm still watching Torchwood! :)

It better not be Rain Fall for the next 6 weeks - I've two 6 year olds here and we'll need to get out the house... ALOT!





Off to Chessington WOA tomorrow...wish me luck in the hordes!! If anything's likely to make me grumpy...


So I'm logging off, before I don't have a computer to come back to & need to calling something to fix the laptop shaped hole in the window...
Ciao mi hearties. x

Okay, a grumpy topic: when I go into a new topic it has 'email me ...' at the bottom. I keep having to change it manually to 'notify only'. My settings are notify not email so can any one explain it or help me stop it.

Anyway I'm grumpy cos there's not enough grumpiness and literary links lately and too much primary school gossip - I sentence you all to read

Kay now I'm grumpy because your inflicting the Wii on a poor child. Shame on you surely an x-box360 is more suitable!!
Halo [book:First Strike|615921] is a very suitable game :P


Yes also very educational - teaches valuable lessons such as how to steal a car and the best explosives to use in a bank robbery :~

Well sort of :~ but I suppose it's a step forward from sexist games where the princess always needs to be rescued.
Progress? Just not in quite the right direction!!

Didn't make it any easier to coax him off it though... it was me barking Halo'esque orders! Now where's my trusty AK? Grrr...

Didn't ma..."
Ahh why didn't you say so - speaking as a geeky comic reader I applaud your work to encourage geekery in the younger generation!!
Unfortunately my poor humor seems to have made Helen grumpy - so I'm off before she can give me detention :(


Need to get a proper job.


Aah! The call of the dedicated Public Servant... Doesn't help, but people who look at YOU probably think "Now that's a proper job! I'm bored being stuck in an office..."
Mind you, I've been off sick for a few months and the thing I DO NOT miss is being on call... Getting home after a long day & the 'phone rings before you've even sat down, then the next few hours being a write off...
But we don't do it for the money...just as well really!!!

I just got up, looked around my bedroom and thought that my feature wall should be painted now before my new bedroom furniture arrives sometime tomorrow! Anyone who can persuade me to just sit down and read a book please get in touch!


But just in case you decide to go ahead and paint What to Do When It Hurts: Self-Diagnosis and Rehabilitation of Common Aches and Pains!
