COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
Hi katieanddiggy! Welcome to the TFO and the CDR. I'm on the welcoming committee this week (self-appointed of course), so here's how this place works. More or less.
Welcome to the Cold Dark Room!
Pull up an armadillo to sit on. The One-Legged Pirate or the Leprechaun, his Substitute, should bring you a beverage of your choice. We should have a bar, The Drunken Penguin, recently opened in one of the corners and inspired by a resident penguin, either Silly or Willy. Speaking of corners, there are more of them in the CDR than we know, and there's a rumour that the Wool Spider might actually exist.Even if you don't find the bar, we usually have lots of tea and coffee -- and someone might still have a stash of cheese, though nobody has admitted it so far.
Do watch out for the hedgehogs. You can use the jellyfish to light your way. Exercise caution, and enjoy your stay.
You guys are just crazy lol
THNXSThat’s right be positive. Keep looking for the better job. Good luck
Hows your day?
Hopefully, you will have many Many MANY more opportunities. Let’s hope your parents too are looking past this one opportunity to your long-term future! Chin up, carry on
A bit sore. I have a bad back, but right now it’s my shoulder causing problems. My pains are all linked [emoji849] I have to go to my physiotherapist for an exercise class shortly .
There are 6 or so of us regulars that she likes to get in a room once a week to keep us moving. It’s £12 well spent given that one to one physiotherapy costs £60!
Scratch that. Just had a phone call. The physio has broken her ankle.
I guess she has her own problems to deal with for a while
Yes, phisiotherapy is best
my mom was regular because of the back pain
and recently my dad because his heel fracture
but now he is good
hahahaScratch that. Just had a phone call. The physio has broken her ankle.
good if u enjoy it
I’m just so glad it’s Friday. I feel particularly exhausted this week. Looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow. Do the UK clocks go forward this weekend or next?
we dont have weekends
just one holliday on sunday
you are lucky.
just one holliday on sunday
you are lucky.
Do you have a 6 day working week?
Last Saturday in March ... March 25th this year
I am glad it's Friday too. It feels like it has been a long week.
I am now trying to motivate my self to do some paperwork that I have been ignoring.
Maybe I'll make a cup of tea first.... I'll make a big pot and leave it on Montgomery
Yes
6 days
The weekend is just the two days at the end of the week. The Bible says something like the workd was created in 7 days and on the 7th Day God rested and that was a Sunday (terrible paraphrasing but you get the idea). So the last two days that end the week, Saturday and Sunday, are the weekend.
Many people here in the UK work Saturday and/or Sunday. They will get one day off a week, and some will get two, but those days may well not be Saturday and Sunday.
Most government offices and schools are closed at the weekend.
Wow hat must be hard. I already think 5 days is bad enough.
I do have a long commute, I travel 2 hours each way into London so with an 8 hour shift on top, its hard.
I know some people probably have a lot worse though.
How long does your trip take Katie? We can get into London Bridge in 40 minutes from west Kent. I am guessing you go into Liverpool Street?
Not that it's appropriate to joke about it, but she should join your group...Scratch that. Just had a phone call. The physio has broken her ankle.
I didn't now physio sessions were that expensive!
Shopping time! And by shopping I mean buying spinach, dear @Bee62 I'll need to have lunch ready for two or three kids... I hate Fridays!
