Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[outragous76]

Yeah...knew I was going to struggle asking a mainly male crowd.  Someone else suggested 'Jugglers'.  Sounds more like a strip club or men's magazine ffs!  Need a name that will draw women (aka customers) to the shop. 

one in my area called "fit to bust" if you actually want sensible names

[Laxie]

Now you're getting there Lads.  Not sure if it matters, but we're talking about a shop in America.

..  Need a name that will draw women (aka customers) to the shop. 

I would have thought something that implies style and elegance would do the trick then - something like 'Felicity Boutique' or 'Eleganzia'

[RED-DOG]

Reason for alias: I used to have a (good) habit, when liking something of starting sentences (for eg) "awwwww I have just seen the BEST {insert anything} in the world....ever. Similarly when describing events which were unusual, I had a habit of saying "thats outraaaaageous!", even thou it perhaps wasnt really so. My friends picked upon this and took the mickey - alot!. The reason for the spelling mistake is tilting. When I went to sign up with Stars, the name I wanted was "outraaaaageous"  which was apparently "taken" (yes yes of course it was). So I started deleting, and mid delete thought, just throw you birth year on the end, and in my haste mis-spelt it! I then decided to go with the error

Age: 36

Occupation: Chartered Building Surveyor and expert Loss Adjuster of Highways claims

Location: Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, so good they named it thrice

Dream Job:  Problem solver. This is a job Ive made up, but I think I am very good at problem solving (practical things). So I basically consult to, for eg, an R&D team somewhere, they tell me what they are doing and what they are  needing to do, I absorb all the information and go back wiht ideas. However I would be a problem solver for anything. So literally Ferrari have a problem, they call the problem solver, I fly in, we have a meeting for a day, and then I go back with what they need to do! Id love this job!

Person you would be reincarnated as: Im not sure if this means living or dead. Infact Im not sure ive ever even thought about this. Actually being someone else seems weird, ill have to pass.

Fave comfort food: toast (prefereably a big thick crust)

Imaginary super power: Teleporting - I love the idea of being able to go somewhere "now!", usually to be with other people like friends/family etc.

Hi Guy. Some really interesting answers, speshly the alias one.

I tend to mentally pigeon-hole people, and when I first came into contact with you I put you in the box marked "Intense."

A little later moved you to "Extrovert, with strong opinions"

Now that I know you better, I've moved you once again. I now have you closer to the "Slightly introverted with strong sense of moral justice" Box.

I'm not sure I've done moving you yet, but that's OK. I like complex characters.

Our boys have dodgy tummies with almost a week now.    After the first few days of it, I kept them off all food for about 36 hours.  Since the fast, they've been getting chicken and rice in small amounts a few times a day.  Two days later, their bellies are still dodgy.  Is there any over the counter remedy for dogs to sort this?  How long to you stick it out before taking them to the vet?  

They're in great form otherwise.  Typical bubbly labs getting up to no good every time my back is turned.  

How are the "Dodgy tummies" manifesting Dawn. How old are your dogs, is their appetite good, and when did you last worm them?

I usually avoid the vet unless the animal is obviously in distress, something vital malfunctions, or some of the inside parts have ended up on the outside.

Imaginary super power: Wasn't sure, but I'm impatient when travelling and Guy's teleporting seems like a winner!

I'm not sure if you're aware Mark, but I was pretty keen on snooker myself back in the day, and I often wanted to know more about you as a snooker player and what you think about the game then and now.

Also interested in your health issues. I know that's not really a politically correct question to ask someone, but you've always seemed quite open about it.

The truth is I suppose, I'm interested in how people cope with adversity.

PS- Feel free to tell me to GTFO.

Maureen you tart!

I can't tell you how many times you've left me feeling aroused and chastised all at the same time.

I'm sure you do it in purpose.

Say hello to Darren for me.

They've had diarrhoea at worst, very soft poo at best with a week.  They're always looking for more food, so appetite is grand and they get an Advocate all in one thing at the start of every month for worming.  

I've always tended to treat at home, but Jack's their over protective Dad who thinks 'vet' when anything is amiss.  We've just bought some plain yoghurt for them because I'd heard that helps.  Apart from that and the chicken and rice we've already been doing, not sure what else can be done.

If memory serves your dogs are adult now, right?

If so, they should be on two meals a day max, a small one in the morning and a larher one in the evening. (I think one is more natural)

Why do they have the Eartha Kitt's? Could be anything. Have you changed their brand of food, introduced a new treat, changed their routine, walked them where livestock are fed, have they eaten carrion or cow shit etc?

If they seem happy and are not dehydrating they will be fine. Honest.

BTW- Be wary of worming too often.

PS- I would take Jack to the vets if I were you. He seems far too er.... Distracted.

Age: 26

Occupation: High net worth gaming acquisitions.

Location: Wimbledon.

Dream Job: I genuinely don't know. Something which, whilst fulfilling and stimulating, permits me to spend quality time with my friends and family, travel, and ultimately provide well for a family myself. Is this really asking so much?!

Person you would be reincarnated as: Mick Jagger.

Fave comfort food: I love a Chinese take away.

Imaginary super power: This will sound horrendously twee and vomit-inducing...but I like it when others around me are happy. I'd like to be able to do induce this, not in a temporary, false kind of way, but genuinely be able to help others out. Yep, its horrendous. Flying probably. But seriously quickly - this way you essentially nail the whole teleportation issue and, if we're being optimistic here, time travel if you did enough laps.

Is that your full name Ed? I always imagine you with several forenames, like Edward Aloysius Bartholomew Gascoigne or something.

High net worth gaming acquisitions? Surely that can't possibly be as much fun as it sounds.

Ah yeah, forgot to answer the age question.  Archie is 15 months old and Fib is 10 months.  Arch is partial to eating horse shit, given half a chance.  Fib likes rolling in fox shit.  They had two long week-ends on the trot at kennels, but didn't show any signs of bother or upset.  They were home for two weeks before the trouble started.  We take them on country walks where they're exposed to all sorts so there's no telling for certain what the cause was.  They're still trying to hump anything and everything with four legs, so definitely not acting poorly as such.

I'm of the belief that it'll sort itself out.  Jack takes a bit more persuading.  Maybe you're right about taking HIM to the vet.
