Oi

At least partimer was paying attention. I'm not sure I'm xoggoth either. Last week I was so happy doing pictures of squirrels for a bit better than dole money, now I am back in the rat race, bloody requirements, specifications, timesheets, a tiny cog in immensity of boring aircraft control systems. F*** ell, I am SOOO DEPRESSED! Never mind, if I can see an opportunity to make it fly into the Houses Of Parliament whenever the rear toilet is flushed I will.

PS Why does everyone go somewhere else whenever my back is turned? I am starting to get a complex about it. I got home this week to find the wife had gone to live in Bulgaria without leaving a forwarding address.

Sorry, no rollerblades...but you could teach me.

I'm not Xoggoth. My proclivities are strictly professional.

Don't worry, Lucifer; you could have spent the night at my place. Might have involved you in a few bizarre sexual rituals, but at least you'd have somewhere to kip for the night.

Do you provide your own rollerblades?

And are you sure you're not Xoggoth?

Sandy, I think I saw you - the burly. bearded bloke by platform 17?

Jesting aside though, yes, I guess we were there more or less at the same time. I had just come in from Wimbledon for a meeting in Woburn Place. As soon as I heard what was going on, I reasoned just going straight home was the best. Not out of fear or anything, more a concern they might suspend the overground trains and I'd be stuck at Waterloo.

I was at Waterloo just as it all started kicking off. I just got back on the train I came in on and went straight home. Good job I did, as I had an appointment just where the bus was blown up and am very grateful I was running 15 minutes late.

I don't think SP has had moderator status bestowed upon him yet in the new forum, but I was hanging around in 'technical' yesterday afternoon when I noticed he created a post, edited it then deleted it again, so you can be sure he's keeping his hand in.

Milan, has it taken you this long to work out I'm a weirdo!? The local police could have told you that!

This picture was taken of me yesterday, just before I lurked in some bushes

Milan, you are just the same. I've seen you at the clubs, with your PVC thong and butt-plug. Are you going to deny the evening we spent together?

For a minute there, I was about to claim my crisp fiver with the assertion that WageSlave is Xoggoth but, clearly not, as Xog would have paid £50 rather than asked £50.

Miss Piggy??? Afraid not, Lucifer, my ever erect and faithful friend. But if you give me £50 I will **** a pig. Christ knows I've had worse.... ah, who am I fooling...I'm a geek with my cherry still intact

Wonder how long it will take ScotsPine to remove this post.
