Quote: "theft - I mean temporary acquisition - of traffic cones"
It's amazing how big they are when you are sober. And those bloody road signs (men at work ones). Amazing to get more than a couple in the boot. Heh, I remember once trying to hide one of those flashing light roadworks things (that flash when dark) as the coppers went past. To any prospective drunk person, there is a small hole in them that if you shove a screw driver into turns the damn thing off. It can actually take a lot of abuse before giving up the ghost.

Cheers

my mate Chris has a habbit of collecting many road signs... to date he seems to have woken up with.

Bollards, Cones, Plastic Netting, Pelican Crossing (Button Box), Stop Sign, 30MPH Sign, Speed Kills and a Traffic Light head.
I think he's trying to collect the set.

What made me laugh was after he took the traffic lights a few days later when drunk they somehow got swapped at our old local (probably for liquid refreshments), at which point the bar actually hired someone to put it up outside their pub.

so you have this traffic light going in to a pub carpark that's like no bigger than a 3bedroom terrace in the outer corner of a small square in the middle of nowhere.

This said, this is the bastard that left me hanging from a wire holding up a traffic light while he was visiting me state-side.
Plus side I s'pose was the police didn't look up they just ran after Chris so I was free to shimmy back down and pretend like it had nothing to do with me. ^_^

Wait till you get past 30, when slippers become much more *essential*. Hmmm, although come to think of it not quite the same for women (think shoes). Ok, so when you *really* start thinking like your mum did. Heh heh heh.

you know if I remember correctly someone can "barely" claim the title born in 1981... by what, 3-4 days?

only a few months older than me. god it's so weird being early 20's innit? like you feel like life's gone "whooooooosh!", but at the same time it seems slightly unimaginably long time before your really old.

best cure, shot of Amareto in the morning, Carls / Guinness for Lunch and some Southern Comfort for Dinner.
I'm sure there's some time in between for drinking too

actually that's not a bad idea thinking about it... could do a round up of the irish gang, sort out a weekend for a nice blinder.

heh I'm sure Ken would be up for it, he's being worked like a dog.. deserves a good break.

your stuff going alright at the moment? you need to get on msn; or did I forget to give you my callsign again?

On the plus side none of us have kids to make us look older before our time... oh wait.

This said given my past week of like what 2-3hrs sleep a night, probably not looking much better hehe.

You know what the scarey thing is Damokles, it's something that I do find myself thinking about on occasions. God knows if that's an early middle life thing or what though, heh

Quite a few of my friends are already dad's, mom's and all married off. Can't quite help but think if things had gone a little differently rather than constantly hoping around the country(s) from job to job until I get bored, that I could've ended up settling down somewhere by now. heh

Not something you want to be really thinking about at 23, should be our having fun ya know?

Kids take it out of you, well until they get to about 8 or 9 then they're usually easier to work with - but kids younger than 2 can be a real tiring 'hobby'.

What surprises me is when people have more than 1! - like they did'nt suffer enough the first time round . My son was born when we were 21, which is not too young I suppose, he's a great kid though, would'nt change a thing about him.

Gah! - don't mention that - I've been getting nagged because of my lack of progress on the level editor, they just don't understand what's involved . I thought that blockland was an ideal style of editor, but it seems that a FarCry:Instincts style editor would get things moving quicker - damn kids .

Jake, ol' pal.. it's a mistake we'd all make, without realising it.
Ya know until you get the argument about it.

This said something like this is only what... level 1 offense.
so you can probably calm her down and get some make up nookie in the process.

Sorry Raven, what you said has completely gone over my head Must be the English humour hehehe.

But yes--- she likes to look young. I've found that with Asian women--- they never look their age. A Chinese girl I graduated with and was friends with from University recently told me she's 32. I actually thought she was younger than me (25). Hehe.

He meant your wife might not be so happy if she read that you said she didn't look "quite" so young anymore.

Any woman reading that would asume you meant she looked about 187.

lol yeah

Um and about Asian women - yeah its kinda weird - when I went to Japan there were lots of adult women in school girls/sailor moon style dress - but instead of looking "sexy" they looked scarily underage - like junior school not highschool Perhaps its the combination of being shorter, slimmer and less "curvy" genetically. Mind you I'm not saying they are ALL like that - I've known some stunning looking asian women too

i've never thought of asian women as young, dunno... might be that most girls i generally know look younger than they are.

being small all around can have that effect most of the time.
