    whiskeyman, the only serious consequence was I was going to kill whoever took my porridge. Then I remembered I'm on my own :)

    MsBubbles, yes, frazzled may as well be my middle name at this stage. Glad it amused someone though :)

    That's an Irish mammy tale :pac:

    It depends on the age of the microwave.

    Here is the science bit.
    Older microwaves use magnetron tubes in a glass envelope. If there is nothing in the oven the microwaves would hit this glass eventually causing it to fail which would stop the magnetron tubes emitting microwaves.
    Nowadays the magentron tubes are encased in ceramic. This is much more durable but still, if you leave your modern microwave on for over 90 minutes you can expect it to fail.

    Now, did someone mention boobs?

    26sdk Are you thinking of veneers ? They are overlays for your teeth.
    I'm due a visit to the dentist though. TA that I'm so scared of the dentist I shake from head to toe

    You need to go to my dentist. He treats me like a 6 year old and has all these techniques for distracting me from the nasty stuff that he is doing.

    Perfect conditions, no congestions, no mechanical problems or signal faults and my DART is still 10 mins late.

    Trigger Happy I told the last dentist I went to I was very nervous. I sat in the chair gripping the dental nurses hand so tight I nearly cut off her blood supply. I feel sick and am about to cry at the mere thought of it

    I can't finish my book. Not just yet. It had me bawling my eyes out last night, my OH had to cuddle me for ages. I actually have it hiddden under my bed. There are still 4 chapters left! It's The Book Thief by Markus Zusack. I knew it was going to be sad, but oh my God... :'( . I can't face the ending just yet. Maybe later. I suppose I'm TA'd with brilliant writers that make you fall in love with their characters and then break your heart when they go through awful pain. It's like being slapped in the face with humanity.

    When there's that one person you never quite got over, and when you go for your annual stalk on facebook, you find out stuff you never wanted to know. I have no idea why I do it to myself. Or why it makes me so sad, because we've both moved on. But it's ****.

    I'm having trouble with a book at the moment as well, it's called Infinite Jest, my problem is that I can't find time to sit down and get stuck into it. I've read it a few times already but such an amazing book it deserves to be re-read every few years.

    My TA this morning, well more of a rage. Mrs Bap leaves the house with the kids. I sit down and polish off my brekkie. Go to get the car keys and they are not where they should be. I get it in my head that Mrs. Bap used my car the night previous and that she must have my keys. Ring her but of course her phone is dead. Have a little rummage around for the keys while giving herself a chance to drop off the kids and to get into her job. All this time, my blood boiling, rage growing, ready to murder someone.

    Then I remember that I put them in my man bag yesterday after I got out of the car because I jumped straight into a game of football with the kids on the street.

    Rage gone. I'm a idiot.

    You doing road running?
    I had to swap to running on grass to lessen the impact.
    I'll probably increase cycling also as my knees are banjaxed!

    Did you like it? The dots at the end of your statement make me think no. Or that there's a very sad ending.

    Bored the life out of me, I thought it was rubbish. They all die in the end and the Germans win the war.

    The only sad thing about it, is the fact that I paid money for it.

    I didn't enjoy it either, one of those books that is way over hyped, in my opinion.

    I have no emotions when it comes to movies. I didnt cry at the notebook or any of those other rubbish movies. But I bawled at bambi. I cried so much at bambi I couldn't even watch the end of it. It's the only film that made me cry.

    Lexie I had to stop watching films with sad endings cos I used to be inconsolable for hours afterwards.
    I think I'm descended from the professional mourners that used to attend wakes in 1700's

    Ah, I see the problem. it's simple. You are a man.
    We have no emotions, and we never cry, especially not
    over a film.;)

    Have you got it checked out yet? I've had awful problems with my knee all my life, finally got it sorted a few years back and havent looked back.

    The only complaint is that I get a bit of arthrithis when the cold weather is coming in.
