Oh to be a sleepy cat in a box
She has a hard life!
Managing the treat servent is a full time job!
Didn’t quite nail the batter / or oil temp probably.
Crispy though!
Kitchen is in a bit of a state now.
Looks very tasty to me!
would definitely eat that up
Hurry up dinner time.
I’ve got calamari to beer batter and arteries to clog.
You stay away from my arteries, you hear!
Threw yoghurt all over the kitchen this morning, felt like a sign to go back to bed. Unfortunately I had to collect a colleague on the way to work, called him to let him know I’d be late with a big ol’ glob of yoghurt on my foot.
username checks out
I’m up, and have tidied my flat
I think we may have discussed this before but what is the story behind your username?
Mine was from the other place.
I really want to know what a Seagoon is.
😍😍
I think Gibson and the other DT cats are the reason why I’m considering getting a cat when I move
Highly recommend it lol
Work related. At the time I set up this account I was peeling around 80kg of potatoes per day.
Mr Woof’s and Miss Meow’s real names. Which means when anyone here uses my username I have a brief moment of confusion before I realise they are actually referring to me 🤣
Long ago on a different Platform a group of very silly young men were whinging about catfishing. A whole bunch of us changed our display names to Catfish and flooded the daily feed with silly fish related posts. I found it amusing and kept it.
Skateboarding as a kid down multi level car parks and steep roads. Most fun was sitting on our arses and racing that way.
It came about because one day sitting around the dinner table my daughter said something about her dad being the boss of the house and I said “No I’m the boss. I’m the CEO of this house and your dad is 2IC” and he looked at her and said “It’s true. She is the boss”. And the name stuck.
It’s part of a lyric from a song called “All There Is” by my favourite band, Bad Religion.
The lyrics question the human condition in a pessimistic way. Lyrics about the futility of existence, despair, and the pain of living in a world with little substance coupled with high tempo drumming, blistering guitars and three part harmonies. Typical Bad Religion fare…
I remember once I tried to make a reference to Neil Gaiman - American gods to you and it went completely over your head. Now I know why 🫥
damn I love his books, why does he have to be such a rapey bastard
I believe charges were dropped, but the public opinion is a different story of course.
he and his wife never denied it, they excused it
online nom de plume I’ve been using since last century
Reddit generated and I’ve stuck with it.
Gender swap of Mister Cellophane, a song from the movie adaption of the musical, Chicago.
I notice you without you having to cluck like a hen!
Mine is very boring. I’m a witch and I live in Thornbury. All my social media usernames are variations on this theme. Would have been worse if I lived in Ipswich. One day I shall re-invent myself, but at present I see no particular need to do so.
What if there were two witches in Ipswich? People would ask, but which Ipswich witch?
Not only that, but what the witch of Ipswich actually does. Which witch switches the switch for Ipswich?
Not telling.
Is it the one wearing an Irish wrist watch?
???
It was very random for me, I just wanted to come up with something quickly that wouldn’t be doxable
Stupid pun on man about town/toast of the town
Didn’t expect it to stick
Just a play on words. I was dumblederp but fuck JK Rowling.
A friend a very long time ago took my nickname, morphed it and morphed it again until it became Spin, which caught on in my friend group for quite a few years and became my favourite nick name. It’s generally taken up on every platform, so I expanded to what it is.
I had messed up baking a cake earlier in the day, that I was supposed to take as a dessert to a gathering. I had no ideas for a user name so that’ll do.
Lady Seagoon is a character in the Goon Show. This one is another parody of a Sherlock Holmes movie/Beau Geste
Good sleep last night despite a bit of a weird dream! Yay to REM rebound and better sleep :)
Same here, I wish I felt like this every day. The positive difference in my mood is crazy. Sadly I get more bad than good sleep these days…
I don’t want to be one of those people but do you know why you could be experiencing poor sleep?
The mood difference is indeed crazy. Yesterday I balled my eyes out and today I’m fine.
Stress in general - business stress, personal stress, also bad bedtime routine. It all adds up. Tried melatonin and it made me feel like crap during the day, stopped that. Yesterday I made a few changes and noticed a difference, need to keep the momentum going.
:(
What did you change?
I had a drink last night which meant better sleep but that’s not a lifestyle choice I’m looking to make as a regular thing. It is nice to have had maybe five hours though after what feels like a month of 2-3 per night.
I hope you can get more than that soon. Shit sleep sucks.
A $32 t-shirt in 2011 is now $52, does that seem reasonable? I don’t think I’ve got $50 t-shirts in the budget.
off to help Miss Seeagoon with moving
It must be exciting to have the young seagoons so close to you now. 🤗
It’s nice after so many years 🙂
Had a high pain and anxiety day and ended up napping It just wasn’t a good one. Gonna load up on ibuprofen and rest some more.
I think I’m a lot like you, I don’t work 9-5 at a job , I work at home 7 days a week, that means I don’t get sick days
I have things to do, like look after cats and household chores, so when I get sick I feel guilty and like a failure if I have to rest or take time off
but everyone gets a few weeks off a year for sick days, no guilt,
and you shouldn’t feel bad about it either, it’s not a failing to need a day off
so many hugs, take care and rest up
Yeah, I think I just had to take this day off and hope for a better one tomorrow.
Melbcat got her medication and had food and water which is the most important thing. (She also came in to nap a bit with me and got cuddles and treats)
Last night was bad. Today is gonna be worse.
Tomorrow will be beyond imagining.
Oh i do not need escalation
Sorry, quote from The Dark Is Rising. “Tonight will be bad, and tomorrow will be beyond imagining”.
Some of these winter Olympic sports are so dangerous - flipping and spinning in the air, riding rails with ski’s, flying down the mountain, the athletes have no fear. It looks so cool but wow one wrong move and ouch.
Even figure skating - the competitors have knife blades bolted onto their shoes. And the ice is hard. I broke my coccyx falling over on an ice rink as a child. And I’ve seen severed fingers when someone went out of control and crashed into someone else and ran over an outspread hand. Not deliberate, just an unfortunate accident …
I’ll stick to curling if I become a winter Olympian
Curling is looking better and better all the time.
Ilia Malinin, one of the top male skaters, does freaking BACKFLIPS on the ice. Amazing to see, but scary!
I wonder how they even get into such sports.
I have seared into my memory of the skier who got caught on the fence,
nsfw
split his groin open, and bled out on the snow
It was grotesque, it’s so fucking dangerous.
Mini potato cakes with hummus, caramalised onion and garlic salt.
That sounds delicious!
it’s chaos here with the Seagoon’s setting up house, it’s not just moving, they came here from overseas with just suitcases and they have to buy so much, we’re all helping out as much as we can
so I think I’ll wait until next week to get this house here in order and I will not worry about it 👍Just doing the necessary like looking after cats
I’ve got some anxiety about work giving me the flick because I’ve been sick the last few days.
Let’s see what happens.
I can understand why you’d be worried but you’ve been genuinely sick. They’ll understand if they’re a good place to work
We’ll see man. I haven’t been cc’d on anything from yesterday so that’s a big concern.
And they’ve asked for my super details to pay for January because they’re incorrect.
I’ve been there since November. If there was an issue they’d have asked by now.
There’s rules about super being paid every three months so they might’ve just realised. It’s looking at getting changed so that super needs to be paid with pay but these things don’t happen overnight.
nah, workplaces previously paid super on stupid fucking rotation like every four months. So they wouldn’t have noticed earlier.
The law has changed, but I believe that kicked in this year.
Payday super kicks in 1 July, obligation is currently the same: for time worked in Jan, Feb, and March, contributions must be made before 28 April, for April May June, prior to 28 July, and the other two quarters of the year are also broken up like that
It sounds like you’ve been making great progress there and any business that’s worth having you should allow for sickness.
And if they don’t… good to be out before investing too much time and effort.
You’ve been ill. That’s not your fault, and it isn’t a pattern. Work will not sack you
