Thrillho Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I was just given the role of "Primary Contact" for a job, for the first time ever. Then I was casually informed by my boss that it was going to happen a lot more with this one client, just because they seem to like me. 2 Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

insanity Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Went down to the barber to get a straight razor shave yesterday, and during the shave the barber "complimented" me on my goatee... "This is probably the thickest goatee I've ever had to shave, mustache is definitely the thickest, goatee is up there." I took it as a complement. We then started talking about handlbar mustaches. His is awesome, got a good 1.5 to 2 inch diameter loop going on. 2 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

originalpiratematerial Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 My 11 year old made me smile this morning. He is severely autistic and has just started at special school, which is a big transition for him. Anyway he was so happy this morning he could hardly wait for the bus to come. He was bopping in the hall! When he is happy he expresses it completely through his whole body. 2 Quote Link to comment

insanity Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I was recognized not by my clothes, or my looks... but by my food. Yeah... they knew who I was because of the lunch I was making in the break room. I was turned away from them when they walked in. 1 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Raincloak Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 "The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn." You have to be kidding me.No, it is.*grinning my ears off* True story. And their national flower is the thistle. That nursery rhyme about the lion and the unicorn (which features in "Stardust") is actually about the conquest of Scotland by England (the lion). Also, the national animal of Wales is the dragon, but you probably already knew that one. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs.

Dradis Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 "The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn." You have to be kidding me.No, it is.*grinning my ears off* I'm often surprised how few people in Britain actually know this. Considering the royal coat of arms (which is on everyone's passport) consists of the English lion and a chained up Scottish unicorn Quote Current challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/70839-bendy-dradis-stands-up-proper/ Link to comment
Dradis Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't get it ... Lions are not native to England [unicorns and Dragons, however ...] I guess we wanted a badass animal but we don't have any badass animals here unless you count the badger.
