All right, all?

Sounds pretty positive wok. All the best.

I've done a fair bit of self-re-evaluation over the past year or so, and I think it's all been for the better. Have already started better habits, and I think my appreciation for certain things that I may have taken for granted in the past has increased too. Things still aren't 100% where I want them, but I'm in a fairly positive frame of mind these days, all things considered. I think I got really lucky with my job. I wouldn't say it's FANTASTICALLY paid, but it's just about enough to survive on, fairly low stress, and within walking distance of where I live. That last one's a real luxury.

yeah, I travelled 60 miles a day, which would cost me about £200 a month on fuel alone :eek:
 
Speaking of Wok, let's hear what JBJ has been up to.

Took the Mrs to Edinburgh last night. We went to The Witchery for dinner and it was the most disappointing "nice" meal I've ever had.

I've genuinely enjoyed better steaks in Wetherspoons :facepalm:

We were going to do the tourist pub crawl but by time we'd eaten and had a few drinks the wife was knackered so I got some wine and munchies and we sat in the rented flat watching council telly by 8pm :grin: :facepalm:
 
fuckers.

Despite having a .co.uk (and no .com address) + a London phone number it turns out the camera I just bought is shipped from the USA where the company is actually based. I'm going to be hit with nearly £500 in VAT!!!

That happened to me once. Are you still able to cancel the order?

No its been cleared in the UK and will be en route to my address.

Im ripping into them, this being the latest in a string of annoyances so hopefully they'll do something about it.
 
Turns out some recalculating was done and the VAT was only £36 quid something but still, their website says everything is covered (and specifically mentions customs and VAT) so I'm chasing them up for it.

Still not received a receipt or invoice by e-mail or in the box either which is grand.

Better make sure they cover customs charges. I got hit with customs charges once on a bloody t-shirt from the US :facepalm:
 
Weekend was ok, am in Edinburgh this afternoon for work health assessment.

My life is super exciting! :thu:
 
One thing I do miss about living in Glasgow/Edinburgh is how close they are. It's almost like living in two cities.

True, I always enjoyed living in Edinburgh and going to gigs in Glasgow which would only be an hour or so away
 
All right, you lot?:Wave:

Our office heating has been acting up and we've been sitting in 30-degree heat all day.

I could really do with some REFRESHING LAGER BEER. :homerbeer:

I have to wait until I get home around 10pm for a REFRESHING CONTINENTAL LAGER BEER to rid me of my PERISHING THIRST :(
 
I went for some refreshing lager beers in my local earlier on and met the wife after work.

About half an hour after we left someone was shot outside it, staggered in for help and the place is now in lock down and they're not letting anyone who was in the pub out :eek:

There was someone stabbed who bounced into the pub and died not long after I moved down this end of the scheme too :shrug:

It's actually a really good boozer and a nice part of the town but these things can happen anywhere.

If it's who I've been told that's been shot, he's always been decent with me but always had rumours around him about what he was into and who he cut about with.

Just glad we left earlier than we usually would otherwise we'd either have been caught up in it when he came in for help or even seen it happening :/
