WOEWOEWOE MIV HAS LEFT THE BUILDING WOE

MUCH WOE, he's escaped (yay for him!) the 9-5 for ever and legged it off to run a pub.

Leaving me here ALL ALONE. I need to find a replacement slacker to email me all day ;p Tho that position is looking like it may be filled already *waves to the Muffateers*

ION... none really. All quiet, sofas are lovely, not attacked by cats. Went to Pilates last night after 2 weeks of skipping it and it was TORTURE. It's definitely getting harder now I'm not riding all week as well. Must get horse back soon, or I'll seize up entirely.

And that's about it.
I shall go back to PINING in the corner now.
WOE.

ps thesme he says he had made you and icon and it was great but it didn't save and he's fucked off now so sorry about that

UPDATE Have recieved contact via Text Message. Mivvv has so far survived joining the World Outside and is still alive and running a pub.

*pines*

A brief break in the Day of Woe

This was just too funny to pass by...

FURORE erupts over government grant to Orange Order to make Twelfth Parades a tourist attraction. The headline is a work of impressive understatement - or perhaps there were so many they could have gone with they just gave up and went for the simplest -
Orange Grant Gets Mixed Reaction

Full of the usual quotes on either side, but my favourite is the SDLP with - "They are already helping tourism, but it is Donegal that gets the benefit every July...

It's... baffling really. This is an organisation whose members in the past 10 years have spent the days running up to the 12th blocking all the roads in and out of NI, blockading the airports and the ports - but now that there's no fuss they can make over Drumcree or whatever, they want tourists to come here and watch??
Not to mention the fact that Everything, EVERYWHERE shuts down for the 12th. Everything. You can't go anywhere since most of the roads are blocked for parade routes. There's mimimal public transport. None of the shops are open. Most of the pubs shut and the ones that stay open are ones you REALLY don't want to go to. Especially if you're a tourist. I have no idea if cinemas and theatres etc are open because I've never even *tried* going out that night. But I very much doubt it.

This has, I have to say, cheered me up no end; Northern Ireland Politics, you never fail to bring the farce. Don't ever change (not that there's much likelihood of that).
