Title: FRIIIIIDAAAY!
Post by: whabang on November 03, 2006, 08:36:14 PM
Yessss!

I finally got some money I've been waiting for, so now I only need something to spend it on! :-D

Ah, the venerated "Friday!" thread :-D

It's been so long, it seems!

@whabang

I'm sure your better half can easily assign the money to a worthy purchase :-D

Funny you should mention that. Just today I was discussing with my colleague the strange shopping behaviours of Men and women. In a nutshell it is the men always trying to drag the women out of the clothes and shoe shops and then the women trying to drag the men out of computer and electronics shops. What a vicious cycle.  :lol:

It's those damned EU rules, I'm afraid. Friiiiidaaay threads can only be posted by Whabang during Friday as observed in Sweden. Other topics must be accurately labelled "Friiiiidaaay style"...

Shhhhh!  Depending on your location you have to stay awake at strange hours to catch a rare glimpse of an original Friday thread in its purest time element. What a beauty it is as well in all its 24hr glory!! .. Notice how those delicate formations of multiple IIIII's in the title complement the almost natural AAA's producing such a natural and interesting sound.....

Indeed! Unfortunately, this can have some wierd consequences for people near the date-line, as all time is set to Scanian local time when you're reading a Friiiiidaaay-thread.

On the other hand, if someone wants to give me a job in New Zeeland, and then pay for the moving costs, I'd be happy to adapt a bit! :-D

Easy enough, not sure whether or not there's any issues associated with using those particular images though.

Surely if somebody creates the image, rather than copying it from somewhere else, then it's not an issue? Or does it not work that way with trademarks?

Interestingly, "pants" isn't listed as an adjective in the OED. It's listed as a plural noun in the sense of "rubbish; nonsense", e.g. in "what a load of pants", but no adjectival form as in "that is absolutely pants". I feel an email to Oxford coming on...

STONE HIM!!!!!!! haha

Friday be special for two reasons:

a) Whabang's VERY long tradition of marking the beginnings of a new weekend. Missed it during these years I was away :)

b) In our common parlance, in this sunburnt land downunder, Friday five o' clock (in the afternoon) is also known as beer o' clock :-D

Happy times haha :pint:

My new job involves a 3 hour (in total) daily commute.

FRIIIIIDAAAY is awesome. I can stay up late (though I am half asleep already) watch a movie, do a spot of coding and not worry about the fact I have to get up again to make that same irritating journey.

Ahh... It's been so long since I've had to work I'd actually forgotten that FRIIIIIDAAAY! for most folk was the end of a hard working week... :)

Although cos I used to mainly get paid on a Thursday my working week usually ended there, straight to the boozer after work until the last bell, so Fridays were generally a sicky day for me at work... :)

(Often wondered why I never got sacked... :))

As others have mentioned, it's about freedom. The freedom of sleeping the entire morning the day after drinking until your head shatters. :pint:
Not to mention, the freedom of not having to go to work for two days, and the freedom of walking around in your apartment with nothing but your socks on.

I sort of miss that weekly celebration a wee bit, though being Tee Total now for nearly seven years if I ever had to go back to work I'd need to practise drinking again first... :)

The socks thing becomes an everyday occurrence when you retire... :)

You know, I don't even miss alcohol one wee bit anymore, it does lead to some very interesting observations though on how folk change when your sitting in the pub with friends and watching them get totally peed as the night wears on... :)

You need to retire and live the easy life like I do, all that work & stuff just causes too much stress and shortens your lifespan... :)

Early retirement is great, you end up with so much time for all those things you never got round to doing for lack of time or being too tired, and instead end up with so much time you still don't get round to them cos you keep saying to yourself "I'll do it tomorrow"... ;)

It was awesome! I narrowly escaped being consigned to the messy play area (shaving foam and cornflower in water - I can't bear those textures!)

I spent most of the day helping a load of the kids build a tower of blocks bigger than a guy in a Bob the Builder costume. Construction activities with children normally frustrate me because they don't do it right, but these kids built their tower in a nice regular pattern with matched colours ;)

Oh, and we had cake for lunch :)

Cornflower texture, as in the scent? Though messy play areas and autistic kids, does that work?

Oops, no I meant cornflour. Like this:

I can't bear to touch it in it's liquid form.

There always seem to be messy play areas available, but my experience so far has been that most autistic kids (and adults) don't like messy play due to sensory aversions. Those people who seek those particular sensations would no doubt enjoy it, but fortunately for me I haven't encountered any yet so I haven't had to join them :lol:

Or my own autistic tendencies perhaps :)

Ah I suspected such but I'm never sure as I'm not a native English speaker

I never liked it because it was chaos.

So, is it just cornflower suspended in water that you can't bear or is it all Non-Newtonian fluids?

You have to get used to chaos when you work with kids ;) But ISTR disliking chaotic play when I was their age.

Hey, I identify with my 'tendencies' ;) I have multiple sensory aversions (there are certain parts of my body I just cannot be touched [backs of hands for example, where it feels like my skin is being pulled off], lots of textures I can't touch [e.g. velvet and brushes], and I'm quite sensitive to certain frequencies of sound [e.g. engine noises, which feel like the are coming from inside me and make me panic]), and lots of things about social interaction which I understand in principle but really don't "get" and are quite disturbing or tiresome to me.

I think that's why I identify so strongly with the autistic/aspie kids I work with, though I don't claim to struggle to the same extent that they do on a daily basis.

I think it's something to do with the gritty texture of the cornflour, and the mixed texture of the grit in the water.

I'm going to spend the weekend rearranging furniture and getting a HTPC up and running. It will be glorious.

Now I just need a larger TV. :(
