I wouldn't do it personally!
I hate queueing! These people will stand there for literal days! And they aren't allowed chairs or sleeping bags or anything. I read somewhere that they can't leave the queue either? But idk if that's true. It doesn't sound true.

I heard that you can get an arm band so you can duck out to go to the loo or whatever and reclaim your position.

Yeah I've just read that too. You can temporarily leave the queue.
Sounds awful tbh!

Agreed!

Each to their own i guess!
I've queued for quite a while for concerts and that's not everyone's cup of tea!

I once queued for a roller-coaster. I can't remember how long for but it wasn't worth it.

That's something i wouldn't do. Those queues are insane! And not worth it for me

It was a school thing. You go thinking you'll have a great time with your mates then spend all day queuing.

I went to thorpe park with school in year 7.
I did have a good time. I don't remember having to queue for ages at all. Don't know why! Maybe we went at a particularly quiet time?

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks!

I've just started watching a series on prime called upload. It's really good!

Hi everyone.

Queues are annoying.

What's Upload about, Beckie?

How are you doing, Tamo?

It's about when people die, they can pay to have their consciousness uploaded into like an afterlife server thing.

Have you been up to much today lindsay?

Omg!!! How much does it cost, Beckie??? I want to hang around on the internet and annoy people forever!!!!

I don't know, but i think it costs a great deal!
I certainly wouldn't be able to afford it!

That freaks me out. When I’m dead, I want to be dead, not sticking around forever! Same reason the afterlife freaks me the **** out

I don't think i believe in the afterlife.
But i wouldn't want to hang around forever either!

I don’t really believe in it either

But a lot of rich people are bastards!! It's not fair that eternal virtual life is only affordable to them!!!! Grrrr!!! >:(

I'm ok thanks osc. I'm going to try starting a new book. Actually, it's not new, I got partway through years ago then stopped. I'm going to find out why I stopped. If I can't focus I'm going to watch TV or stuff on Facebook.

Yes it is very unfair!
That's the world we live in unfortunately!

Ahhh it's later than i thought!
Gonna have to eat dinner super fast!

Morning everyone!

Morning, how are you?

I'm ok thanks!
Randomly got up at 4:30am so it feels like it should be much later than 10:30!!!
I'm on the bus to an LGBTQ+ coffee morning at geek retreat.

How are you?

That sounds fun.

I've got a stomach ache from worrying about seeing my CPN this afternoon.

I hope so!

I hope it goes ok and your cpn is helpful

Thanks. I should probably not go in pyjamas...

Afternoon everyone.

I hope your appointment goes well (in proper clothes), Tamo. I'm thinking of you. Let us know how you get on if that's ok.

4.30am is a horrible hour to be awake. Unless you slept really well? How was the coffee morning, Beckie?

I did not really sleep that well!
So it was a bit annoying
Thank god i have wifi though because otherwise i would have had to watch teleshopping for hours!!!

The coffee morning was good thanks!

How are you lindsay?

That is annoying, I hope you sleep better tonight. My brother used to choose to watch teleshopping. I'm glad you enjoyed the coffee morning. Are there other things on at geek retreat that you might go to?

I went for my prescription and then went to Tesco. Somehow had no housework on my to do list for today. I'm waiting on a delivery of loppers so I can cut back the bushes in my garden. Can't really be bothered though and I'll have to make some time for it which will mess with my to do list.

What are you up to now?

I saw my CPN. News in Serious.
Well done on activities osc.
Glad you enjoyed the coffee morning Cacoethes.

What are you doing this evening, Tamo?

Yeah there are quite a few things on at Geek Retreat! I want to get into D&D.

Well done on doing your things lindsay!

Distracting with TV and family

Morning everyone!

Good morning, how are you?

I'm ok thanks.
Just read that the wait in the queue to see the queen is at least 25 hours!

How are you?

The official page says 16 hrs, probably optimistic!

I've got to sort myself out before the Crisis Team come this afternoon.
What are you up to?

That was the update from about 1am so 16 hours might now be the current time.

Hope it goes ok..

Not a lot. Just watching a series. Waiting for an amazon delivery. Which is coming this morning, very unusual for this area.

2 fun things. What's the series? What's the parcel?

I'm watching The Imperfects on netflix. It's quite good.
The parcel has a new 1 litre water bottle and a white vest top (need a white one to go under my dobok when i get it)
So nothing massively exciting.

Afternoon everyone.

Did you get your parcel, Beckie? Still sounds like a sort of fun one.

I got some loppers to cut back my bushes yesterday and the food/garden bin has been emptied so I have no excuse not to get on with it. Is there a silence for the Queen tomorrow and/or Monday? I don't want to be out in the garden with people thinking I'm disrespectful.

I hope you're doing ok, Tamo.

It's good it's for something you enjoy. What's the Imperfects about? Last night I watched Making the Cut and some of the clothes they came up with were really cool but others... sucked.

Yep got my parcel!

According to google, there will be a minute silence tomorrow at 8pn and a 2 minute silence at 11:55am on Monday.

The imperfects is about 3 people who were given experimental treatments and then got superhuman side effects, they had to track down the dr that did the experiment to get him to cure them. Of course, it wasn't that simple!
There were only 10 episodes. Apparently it only came out a couple of weeks ago so they don't even know if it will be renewed for season 2.

I've never seen making the cut. Is that people making clothes from scratch or something?

Yeah. Most of then are already designers but very small and want to go big. They come from all over the world and the competition is in LA.

Ah ok!
There are lots of variations of that kind of show at the moment. Like the cooking shows and hair styling and make up and clothes tv show things!

Yeah there are. I like Great British Bake Off too.

I'm not a fan.
I do like the funny GBBO memes though!
Always a lot of them when the show is on

Good morning peoples.

Morning tamo

How are you?
