Sit in the inside lane and go equally slowly but avoid the stress

And for very good reason. What an awful shock to the system. And what a journey! Took me 3 1/2 hours to reach Soton this morning.

I missed the start of this thread. I would be f***ing depressed any day I would have to go to Southampton. Anywhere south of and including Basingstoke makes me agitated and nervous.

I thought it was last week. I sometimes suffer from SAD. This season I thought I was immune but last week I woke up in a very bad mood and it's going to get worse.

Thanks God in 3-4 months it will be gone.

Never mind the 6th Jan.

This is Blue Monday.

What a foul, miserable day.

I have to confess I didn't have the best of starts. Despite getting off to sleep at 10, I was woken at 4am needing to take a widdle. You know how it is, you lie there thinking you can hold on and go back to sleep until the alarm goes off at 6 but by the time you finally give in and extricate youself from under the warm covers, you've wasted 30 minutes and you're wide awake.

So up I got and decided to leave early and beat the traffic. Fat chance. The 35 was rammed; why oh why does EVERYONE insist on being in the outside lane causing the traffic to constantly ebb and flow between 30 & 50 mph wearing out their brake pads in the process when the inside lane is virtually empty?

It can only get better. Hopefully.

Not quite. He is a species of GAL discovered by S.P. Gittins.

GALs have a blind spot with apostrophes.

Ah you have a keen eye!

Actually the reason for not including an apostrophe in my handle is purely stylistic vis à vis Barons Court vs Earl's Court (or is it the other way round? I can never remember).

Further more, it means one keystroke fewer each time I login

[Doggy Styles]

What?

You're a GAL called Gittins?

Only if she's got nice shiny scales.

I'm very particular.

What do you think I am? A mermaid? Lol...

Get her posting on TPD and you have pulled.

A large helping of casserole has calmed me right down - I can't even be bothered to go to the pub

oh no

Sounds dangerous. I'd knock that on the head if I were you.

I actually got the casserole going in a fit of enthusiasm. It's casseroling now

Well the clue is in the second part of my user name!

The name is Monica, by the way. But that's all the personal info I'm prepared to give out for the time being!

Oh, I have a fella by the way. His name is Gittins. Hence the first part of my name :-)

My parents had friends called Bernard and Monica. I used to think that sounded so Bohemian.

Don't worry, we aren't interested in your personal info. Just how much your house is worth.

[NickFitz]

well, I might have gotten the pie gravy a bit runny, but a new recipe to my repetoire

how was the scouse

I'm thinking of making a pork & cider casserole, but there's every chance I'll just end up making a pan of scouse
