    I'm stung ,...


    Now in my dotage, a flashback has me wondering what was the 'bluebag' ? As kids, whenever we got stung ( wasp, bee etc ) the bluebag would come out and be dipped in water before being applied to the area in question...leaving a, er, blue patch on the skin .


    Anyone else go through this carry on ?


    What was it all about ?


    Resting inside, totally wrecked after doing very little all afternoon :(

    No idea about a blue bag but often got sprayed with gentian Violet, that left me skin a startling purple for a good week..

    Absolutely knackered from that 6am start to Belfast and return. Home early enough at 2pm, but fading like a shooting star heading downwards after the dinner. Popped down the shop a couple of hours ago. The only pub open here was like a mosh pit. Pity. Fancied a pint. But looked a bit dodge.

    Was off work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, today. So I have decided to take tomorrow off work to recover.

    Sipping Galway hooker here. 6 pints of it and we're on number one now. Cheers all :)

    I might take a half day Wednesday come to think of it....

    Just sound sick when you ring yourself to say you won't be in.

    I think we’d all be ringing sick if we were self employed :D

    I'd be homeless and broke fairly quickly if I only had to answer to myself.

    Ah yeah you'd have to be in there every day and you really can't be taking days off. It's just not an option.

    Theyre very popular in Dublin. When I heard my friend mention her "dog walker", I was like wth is that?!
    The insides of my nostrils are really tickley. I have never been affected by pollen or hay fever before, I hope it's not starting :(

    Deskside, feeling human for the first time in three days. That second dose of the vaccine really knocked me out.

    All good now though. Got an invite to lunch tomorrow with some work colleagues, followed by a few drinks afterwards :D

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    The young fella was having tuna and decided to give the cat a bit from the end of the tin. He was bent over the bowl scraping the tuna into it for her but he couldn't because she was putting her head into the bowl before the tuna hit the bottom.
    He caught her up a few times and pushed her away but each time, the head was back in the bowl before he could get the tuna in.
    She knows the good stuff because she just licked the bowl clean :D

    To thine own self be true

    My mate's cat got her noggin stuck in a tin. Luckily i happened to be out there that day and freed her (not my first time encountering this) but he was so freaked at the sight of it all i nearly needed to give him some catnip or whiskey to calm down.. Was an absolute circus :D

    Awww Auto :o This crowd deserves an invite all of its own, without any pesky work colleagues :D

    Otherwise, you'd all have to be on your best behaviour, and where's the fun in that? :P
