I like yogs art robots 

I HATE EASTENDERS 

That's all.. Thanks. G

Hello guy,

Thanks for that. I'm not sure that I hate EastEnders, but don't watch it, just to be on the safe side. I used to watch it years and years ago, and I thought it was crap then. I don't really like any soap operas, really.

Well here a quick run down on what is going on 

First there are at LEAST ten murders going on or been done.. 

Phil michael is STILL the hardest bloke in London 

People that have been DEAD for a hundred years have come back 

Ian beal has been a tramp but is now STILL a plonker 

The Queen vic is still there and the square is not a square its round.. Fact 

As the old man says 

It's all a load of Bollox son lol

I think this could be a web series Guy - "Oldson Describes Popular Culture in 10 Sentences of Fewer"

[Curlygirl]

Haha... Liking the synopsis @guypjfreak, Sounds just like it was donkeys years ago!

@Yoghurt on a Stick That's brilliant news mate!!! The bots are fab... I Particularly like the one with all of the hair. Well done, and keep us updated on how it goes.

Last night I had a really long dream involving a mixture between festivalling and work.I still can't work out if it was good or a nightmare. Someone did die in the dream but it was a 'client'.

That's kind of the conclusion that I drew years ago. The only soap that I ever got on with was Brookside, but even then I wasn't bothered if I missed episodes of it.

Hello Curlygirl,

Yes, that hair is made out of old electrical wiring. If you look at 'her' neckline you'll see a casino chip. I once was banned for life from a Birmingham casino for demanding that they bring me cocaine while I was at the Blackjack table. I found that casino chip in my pocket the next day when I woke up. I also found the hand delivered letter banning me from their premises for life. So, the chip (I think it's for £5) was useless to me, as I could hardly take it back. lol

I've had an art piece accepted in to a (small) art gallery's up coming summer art exhibition. The art piece is actually two pieces, and is the cyborgs that I posted already, way back in time. I'll try to post them again here, but don't hold your breath, as I fear that you may go purple! Anyway, there's 'running repairs' needed on it, so am about to start that soon - maybe even now - as in a bit.

 

 

 

Hello Yog. Love them! This gives me an idea for next year's costume!

Hello semmtexx,

Thanks for letting me know that you like them. Any feedback is interesting, but when somebody likes what you do, it does cheer one up somewhat. 

Happy to have helped in some small way to next year's costume. 

As an aside, your post has helped me to 'discover' a possible source for my making these cyborgs. I really like this song and video, and think deep, deep down, it may have been inspirational - to some degree, at least;

Like that too! Yes your cyborgs definitely brought a smile to my face - thank you. I have an idea for an outfit. Think painters white suit. Wiring looms. EL wire. Mirror ball helmet and lights. Oh yes!!

Totally with you on the mirror ball helmet front. I'm going to be making one of my own, at some point. I've actually gone as far as buying the little mirror tile square bits. That was last year - must get on with getting me a helmet - if you'll excuse the expression! lol

If I am able to ( I'm a little banjaxed), I'm going to PM post you a photo of something that you might be interested in.

I've just remembered something from last week (which is amazing in itself) when I went to Birmingham with my wife to get the campervan an MOT. We had an hour to kill, so decided to go to a local Wetherspoons for a drink. On the way there I decided to get some fags, so asked my wife to go ahead and order the drinks. I arrived at the Wetherspoons to find my wife at the bar laughing away to herself, having just been served. She had asked for a double gin and tonic for herself, and was asked which gin she wanted. The barperson then went on to say that they have an array of gin's and went on to wave her arm in the direction of the afore mentioned gins. My wife indicated that she just wanted a Gordon's. The bar person then said to my wife 'I know what you mean, Gordon's is alright when you just want a soft drink'!

OK, so maybe it's not that funny after all. However, this thread needs input, and that was 'input', whatever way you look at it.

 

Hope all on here are happy and well.

Oooo I loves a G&T I does. ?

Page 2 bumpage!! Hi fellow NFRers!! 

My news feed is full of Glasto memories. That tells me that most of my Facebook friends are glastonbury goers. That is a good thing, but also pretty sad that we all feel so down about the fallow year. Obviously I’m happy that I’m not there because of a fallow rather than me not being there whilst everyone else is. I feel very privileged to have discovered Bearded Theory with a like minded bunch of fabulous people, so the ‘break’ from the big G isn’t crippling me as much as others. But hell I can’t wait for the next one. Thoroughly looking forward to meeting you all a year today for cider and laughs. 

Hope you’re all well and enjoying the lush weather we’re having x

Last day today then. I guess it's the waking up tomorrow and not going to the job that'll feel a bit weird for a while.

I have no jobs going, but wish you the best in getting another one, should that be your wish right now.

Hello friendlies, hope you’re all well.

Had a bit of a rough month, but the sun’s out and I’m feeling more like me again and enjoying the fb memories from last year

Hello John the Moth,

Hope your rough spell is soon forgotten.

All the best.

A bit of an odd one today im stuck with a bit of anger about the little effort they put into my leaving after over 60,000 hours working for the company , a small collection for me raising £50 from my department ... but when I asked my boss about my exit interview he said oh the printers broken and he cant do it !! I was expecting to be underwhelmed so was prepared , but its still rubbish in my eyes .... anyway the bonus of only having a few at my leaving do is im hangover free and as posted above its a glorious day with my birthday trip to the farm tomorrow ... time to make my own future a shit load better than it was  onwards

Can understand why you might feel some anger here. I'd like to bet you've got more friends and followers on here than anyone has back at your old work place. Good luck for the future! Weather looks great for your farm trip tomorrow. I'm off camping tomorrow and I'll raise my glass to you for your birthday! Cheers.

its odd ...dont think I lack in friends there ... but just think that its such a big place everyone thinks that someone else is sorting stuff and my direct manager is absolutely useless  in the end no-one does it ... peoples lives just seem to be different these days too lots of social elements have disapeared at various things i do so people dont really think twice about not attending things anymore ... such a shame ... even a friend didn't attend afterI helped get him his job back 6 months ago ... ah well life goes on ... its gonna be a good future and will definitely be spending more time doing things I enjoy and meeting people in future . Enjoy the camping
