Dunno, but Horse has sold it to plenty of people.

Seriously, is January a month of extra slacking for a reason? Is that when your hemisphere gets the nicest weather?

deity · January 11, 2003, 19:36

Yes

But it's been a bit crappy in the Sydney region lately. However, the worst drought in 100 years (nationwide) is beginning to break. So we won't complain...

It's the middle of summer. A lot of workplaces shut down from the Friday before Christmas until the first Monday after New Year anyway, but a lot of people take their annual holiday time - maybe 3 weeks - as well, so they don't go back to work till well into January. It's also, as Horse indicated, an Australian tradition to bludge in January. Even if you're back at work. I, OTOH, am the exception.

OTOOH, I'm a freelancer, working from home, so I can holiday during the day - any day - and work at night if I choose.

deity has been quite huffy about it.

War4ever · January 11, 2003, 20:05

deity is huffy about what? not playing three man games :P

deity · January 11, 2003, 20:59

Yeah, what am I huffy about..?

DrSpike · January 11, 2003, 23:40

Bludging? I really like that word.....I am going to use it more.

War4ever · January 12, 2003, 00:34

new word of the year

DrSpike · January 12, 2003, 06:39

What other interesting words do you have?

deity · January 12, 2003, 07:13

whinging

DrSpike · January 12, 2003, 07:51

That's not uniquely an Aussie word though.........although some of them are skilled proponents.

deity · January 12, 2003, 07:54

So is whinging in the ****ing department?
Aust/Pommie but not American...

DrSpike · January 12, 2003, 08:03

Eh?

i am lost here on this one, care to explain

Alexander's Horse · January 12, 2003, 22:26

Pay no attention - when deity shows up its like a royal visit. This leads to whingeing if everyone else doesn't show up.

War4ever · January 12, 2003, 23:46

ok, i still don't get it, does this mean he whines for us north american brothers

Alexander's Horse · January 13, 2003, 01:16

I kind of like it when you don't get things

War4ever · January 13, 2003, 01:23

theres a surprise

DrSpike · January 13, 2003, 05:16

Well maybe the big D can explain it on his next royal visit.

finbar · January 13, 2003, 07:22

She takes her own toilet seat wherever she goes. The Queen, that is. Well, you brought royalty into it.

Alexander's Horse · January 13, 2003, 08:44

Its probably quite worn by now.

finbar · January 13, 2003, 18:20

Never used, I thought. She doesn't, does she?

What were you up to last night? I checked in at around 10pm and you were N/A.

Alexander's Horse · January 13, 2003, 18:56

You got yourself a gun, you got yourself a gun................
