Well, it seems that the fact of having to pay for the internet per minute because I used up all my pre-paid hours makes absolutely no difference at all to the amount of time I'm willing to spend online. Like, all of it. After all, it's only money, isn't it? I didn't have any anyway. This won't make much difference.

No, I'm not addicted. Could give it up if I wanted. Could. Just don't want to.

Today at work I regressed to the mental level of a twelve-year-old boy, whilst setting a classified ad for the agricultural magazine I work for. Who would have guessed that you can buy a 'cum loading shovel' (in very good condition) for only £3,950? A bargain! Also today, they started to mow the grass ouside my window, which is a shame because it had been quietly turning into a lovely meadow full of wildflowers and things. Sometimes it's like Disney out there, with squirrels and rabbits and birds and things. Now it'll just look like another lawn. Still, on the plus side - sexy gardeners with T-shirts that accidentally ride up when they bend over. And stuff.

Also, while I'm here let me just say this: If you have any idea at all who Neil Hannon and Joby Talbot are (clue: Neil is The Divine Comedy, Joby is his bitch a talented composer type) and the idea of some rather lovely, gentle, contemplative, musical notation-involving slash is not entirely irksome to you, then go and read this little piece of musical wonder, by [livejournal.com profile] the_oscar_cat. Go on - she has pictures and everything!

Well... I suppose I'd better go. (Yes, I think you'd better had...)

ETA: it was of course a used cum loading shovel.
Music:: cats running up and down stairs

Sorry jc, but I have to ask... what does ETA stand for in Brit-speak? Because to me, it means Estimated Time of Arrival.

Just wondering!

That's what I thought it was too and I'm a stupid English person.......Alison
 
I think in the LJ-verse it means "Edited To Add"

Thanks! So glad it wasn't just me!

Ah yes. Sorry about that. A mark of just how LJ-ified I've become; my boss actually asked me 'What's the ETA?' about some work thingy, and I just looked at her, completely perplexed...

Back before the Internet was public and way before the Web, I used to pay $6 per hour for online access. We were students and it was hard, but worth it...

Just the thought of being without Internet access now is enough to bring on a fainting fit. Smelling salts, someone!

We MUST get you sorted on this internet thing!! You MUST stay. Personally, my days would be a lot drearier without the spark that is sheldrake!!

Oh, and the "used" part of "cum loading shovel" is not making it anymore attractive! o ho ho

Oh don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. The 'free' stuff is back now anyway.

Oh pish and tush, qq! You are too kind.

And what else is a cum shovel used for, if not loading? Stirring? But that would be a cum paddle. Digging? But to make what?

Did I mention my thrilling experience driving a JCB? It had a front end loader but nothing about cum loading was mentioned.
Do you think it was a typo?
Cumin-loading perhaps?

Poule!

How exciting - a front end loader! Oh yes, I know all about them... Well, I don't, but I can certainly imagine.

I think the 'cum' bit may possibly have been an abbreviation. You never can tell with these farmers - very few of them can spell. Apologies to any farming folk who may be reading, but this observation is purely based on my own experience.
