Blue Saturday

i dressed up for the pub but luckily my laziness and my creaking bones have decided against

my line manager sent me a "how you doing?" text on Monday and the rambling nature of my response appears to have shut him down

what is this 'real life' you speak of? sounds intriguing.

it involves 1 part sunshine, 1 part pants, and 2 parts will to live

oh yeah, well done on not going to the pub, even if only for reasons of laziness and bone-creaking.

bats are cool too, my birthday present this year was to feed the bats at the local zoo, which was good fun but best avoided if you don't want bats to wee on your head a lot - though I can't say I had that down as a thing I wanted, but still had fun

there's a convenient walking route near me which goes behind some housing estates alongside a grassy area lined by woods and not many streetlights, and if you go out there at dusk (say, just past what humans regard as still well enough lit to go walking) in late summer when there are lots of insects, there are also lots of bats. no idea what kind

we got a "bat detector" kit off the internet and went to listen to them a few times this August/Sept, good fun to unnerve last-minute dogwalkers by standing still in the not-quite-dark in the middle of a clearing, staring into nothing, twiddling knobs on a small, crudely assembled box of hissing and squealing electronics

xps
who needs a stairway to the stars when you can ride a tron-bike to the moon?

if I had a teleporter I'd be in the pub by now

bats fucking rule

my wife texted earlier today to ask if i wanted to dress my daughter and both of us up as bats for halloween and i was like 'i def married the right person'

my birthday present this year was to feed the bats at the local zoo,

This is one amazing and seriously original bd gift!

I demand bg's daughter in a bat suit photos

lol lying on my sofa bed playing "Everything Must Go" on a loop kill me for cliche

really thunked hard about dying but then the children get in my head cheers kids that's a thing sorry for being so entirely fucking useless, literally, truly, no comebacks

oh there'll be plenty, don't worry xp

we've really slacked on the dressing-up front tbh, the only embarrassing costume we've given her so far is a stegosaurus

Full Geddes or gtfo imo

I touched Nicky Wire's leg once. I'm sorry for oversharing. Andreas Baader once did a supergood joke about struggling to maintain an erection and I've been trying to rip him off since I first read it. Might try shooting bank managers instead.

When we were in Istanbul SV saw some guinea fowl, which he’d clearly never seen before, and was trying to describe them. He settled on “lady turkeys”. I think about this often.

this is extremely bad and I regret my decisions

😢

I just hope that you can forgive us

It’s ok, this thread is my home now!

My kitten is taking his medicine out of my hand, he snuffles the tablet up and it’s the cutest thing ever.

my cats will eat slices of steak off a fork with the most delicate little nibble given half a chance, it's almost enough to make you forget what savage monsters they are the rest of the time

Tbf so will i

xp why are you wasting steak on a cat please

Also please share pictures of said cat

because sometimes there's not enough room in my gold top hat for all my steak

Lj why and how are you around so many birds? Are you an ornithologist or mad scientist or something

was given a bird field guide aged 6, been a hobby of mine since then!

today i actually headed into my local (one minute from door) parks with binoculars to try and spot anything interesting and thus get on the London bird club map, but the turkey was pretty easy; one of my local parks has a sort-of city farm in it - sheep, goats, pigs, deer, peacocks, waterfowl

will keep you all apprised of my findings, perhaps (?) on a new thread...

found it quite funny that i walked by a turkey right after you guys brought them up tbh

Yeah I’d contribute to a bird/general wildlife thread!

Blue Friday?

I am off work sick (physically only, thank fuck), and I should try to do some cleaning but cbf. I also need to do my ballot for noughties songs at some point.

i've been putting off the washing since yesterday morning (at least)

I’ll do some if you do too?

tbf it should take < 5 mins to gather and load

ok i have accomplished a thing today, cheers g

:D

I’m watching what seems to be a TV movie on channel 5. The credits are in Papyrus and it’s a garage sale mystery (7 in the series!) so you know it’s a quality Sunday evening watch

the only good Refn, Valhalla Rising was on bbc2 last and is on iplayer for another week. just saying!

This upsets me because I loved The Neon Demon!
