Do you think going for a lie down would help Beckie? Or at least sit on the sofa so you have a soft landing if you take a turn!

Boo to that np.

Could be the start of a migraine maybe? That can cause funny vision.

Glad you made it back safely though.

I'm off out. Can't avoid it any longer. =/

Thanks guys
I'm on the sofa and resting so should be ok *fingers crossed!*

Good luck on your quest np!

Sending magical healing vibes Beckie. I'm not sure how powerful my magic is though.

I hope you've managed the shops ok NP.

Crash Team Racing is a great game but only available on PS1 and is quite expensive because it's a retro game. I have Need For Speed and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. I will have a look in the charity shops. Probably won't even really play it anyway!

Thank you!
My vision is returning to normal so the magic must have worked!

Ah Tony Hawk games! Used to play that loads at youth club. Awesome game.

It's Burns night apparently!
My mum's cousin is Scottish and he is down to play the bagpipes in the local pub and give some sort of speech.
He went to Jasmines school yesterday to play the bagpipes and give a talk about burns night. Apparently the kids loved it!

I am a lousy Scot, I don't bother with Burns stuff!

I'm not even entirely sure what it's all about!
All I know is this guy called something Burns who would be 261 years old today

Robert Burns was a poet.

Ah I see!

Why does he have a night?

I've got whisky so I'm there in... spirit...

Never had haggis though.

I have no idea why he has a night. The school children learn his poems and recite them too. I've got a few certificates from primary school.

Eww whisky! Haggis is ok though from what I remember.

Haggis is not ok from what I remember. =P

As far as I can tell from google, he has a night because he was just incredibly popular!

Never tried haggis, not a fan of whiskey. It burns!

I feel very uncultured for not knowing anything about him.

All spirits burn... =/

It's Santes Dwynwen day too aka the welsh Valentine's Day.

My parcel was very boring. It was liquitabs.

I dont have a ps2 but I do have a ps3 which is capable of playing playstation and ps2 games as well as ps3 games. So I have some ps2 games.

I don't know much about him either np.
Which I probably should as mum's side of the family are mainly Scottish!

Not expensive vodka, especially if out of the freezer.

Oooooo.

Happy Santes Dwynwen Day Dawn.

My partner has an Xbox 1 and I have the first 3 Crash Bandicoots for it! Love a bit of Crash.

Never tried expensive vodka I don't think!
I don't like spirits on their own anyway

I like whiskey but only neat. Wales do a whiskey but never tried it.

What's everyone up to?

Nothing other than being on here. Will watch some TV later.

What about you?

Nothing much other than being on here either. About to put some dinner in the oven and watching the Hunger Games.

I am also watching hunger games and not doing much else!

What's for dinner?

Not too hungry so I just had some lentil soup
How about you?

Just a ready meal... Spinach and ricotta cannelloni... It probably won't be very nice. =/

Twingo, Beckie. =P I've got a bit of a crush on Jennifer Lawrence...

I hope it's nicer than you expect np!

Yeah same. Even though I don't swing that way :p

I'm not really sure what way I swing any more! She's definitely confusing me. =P

Haha!
We all have those people who do that!

I like her voice.

She does have a great voice

My dad and brother are celebrating Burns Night with haggis, whiskey and poetry. Apparently we have Scottish ancestry but I think that's just an excuse.

Don't like that weird perfume advert she's in though. She's in some sort of pool with very red lipstick or something?

I always forget that she's Mystique in the newer X-Men films too!

Haha, Tamo. Any excuse. =)

Yeah I don't like that advert either

She's great as Mystique

The entire pub near my mum will be celebrating burns night and I'm sure not all of them are Scottish!
Any excuse is fine!

It is the British way.

The place next door to my parents is doing an burns night. A lot of people moaned that it was inappropriate since they weren't doing anything for Santes Dwynwen.

Do they do normal Valentine's Day though? There isn't an English equivilent of Burns Night.

That is true np

Yeah, the British answer to most things:
"Pub?"
"Pub."

Yup, pub is always the answer. =)

Definitely!

And pub is one of those words that the more you say it, or type it, the more weird it sounds/looks!

It really is

Pub pub pub

Pub pub pub pub pub pub pub pub.

Pub pub pub.

>.>

Sounds really weird now!

Pub pub pub pub pub!

It looks really weird too!

Pub pub pub pub pub pub
Pub pub pub pub pub pub
Pub pub pub pub pub pub
Pub pub pub pub pub pub
Pub pub pub pub pub pub
Pub pub pub pub pub pub
Pub pub pub pub pub pub


Ok, enough!
