There's a Bulgarian in the office and she has the most delicous accent ever. Like a Bond villainess.

It's the weather and dark nights, you need to 'self treat' hair-do, chocsand mag, manicure or even afternoon tiple??
I always hibernate this time of year, but with treats!
Christ! Its gone black here massive storm! Closing curtains and hiding.
Just spotted our 'posty' struggling against horizontal rain!
That's why the snooker's on, perfect hibernation time. You know you want to watch it Dellas
Thanks AJGO, but think I will resist that temptation, and read and listen to The Archers, sad person I am!
Quote: Vader @ December 8 2011, 6:41 AM GMTWould Aericans not from the South consider you a redneck?
A guy who wasn't born in the south, doesn't have a southern accent, doesn't own a truck, doesn't chew tobacco, doesn't listen to country music, doesn't hunt, doesn't have the Confederate flag tattooed anywhere on his body? They'd laugh at the very suggestion.
And do you actually have a red neck?
I'd call it a whiter shade of pale.
You said one of your friends has a pick up, who you went hunting and drinking with, and who drove too fast on the dirt track on your way back. Sounds like redneck behaviour to me!
No, that's behavior of the typical non-urban male and my friend is Mexican.
Pickup trucks are quite common in the United States (for many years the Ford F-150 has been the most popular vehicle in the country) and in Texas they're ubiquitous. There aren't really any rednecks in the state of Texas but there are plenty of cowboys. Rednecks are found in the southern states east of the Mississippi.
Hey DaButt you said you were at a hunting lodge shooting animals.
If you weren't hunting, what was it self defence?

Hey sometimes we all get the blues.

I shot a few dozen beer cans, a stump or two and a rock about 300 yards away in a pasture (after making sure that no cattle were in the area.)
Ate some pudding and now my nose is really itchy.
You know that yummy black truck that Marty McFly wants in Back To The Future?
Is that a pick up truck?

Is that a pick up truck?
Yes. Any truck with a bed in the back (not that kind of bed) is a pickup truck.
I think McFly's truck was made by Toyota. Toyota now manufactures their Tundra and Tacoma models here in San Antonio because Texans love trucks and labor is cheap. Most of my friends drive American-made trucks by Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge and they have big deer guards mounted on the front of the vehicle.
I still really want that Marty McFly one.

That's a redneck truck
After being a sulky bum all morning I thought I'd leave the office at 1 while the wind and rain had eased off. After leaving the office I got quite rained on, fell over (bruising both of my knees) and then got rained on again. I'm currently sat in the fOyer of my building as I left my apartment keys at home this morning.
I think it's just one of those days!
At least someone on here's had some good news today! I'll wait for him though and not ruin the surprise!

You should probably play the lottery tonight because bad luck like that can't last forever.
