So on "Pancake day" we eat Pancakes.
Tommorow is "National Vegan Day", so I suppose we have to eat a Vegan. I am not sure I can manage a whole one. :)
Vegan wargamers are a thing.
You've probably met one without realising it.
They're just as crap at throwing sixes as everyone else.
Olive oil comes from crushed olives.
Sunflower oil comes from crushed sunflowers.
I'm never using baby oil again!!
:)
More for me then.
I can think of one pretty toothsome vegan I know....hmmm....

Sadly, she has two boyfriends and a girlfriend already. :(
Someone posted -quite cleverly to my mind- that Veagns shouldn't really eat anything as everything grown uses recycled dinosaur pee.

Probably won't notice one more then.
Also, is this how we are spelling "Tomorrow" now?

Yes, you're allowed to spell it like that when you are on nights!

I was going to make some comment about I could eat my troublesome step-daughter, but thought it might sound a bit weird, and now I have it does :D

What if I was to eat her?

Your welcome, it would also free up the Fridge and freezer as it I could get rid of all that weird dairy free and meat free stuff
'Your welcome...'
That should be 'you're welcome', which is short for 'you are welcome'. What you wrote suggests that the 'welcome' belongs to you or you are giving someone a 'welcome' and that a 'welcome' is a thing.
Must be my day for correcting things.
Well said, that man.
It's not just me then who gets brassed off at lousy English - especially as I spent 37 years trying to get children to write correctly to very little avail.
It never comes ! :D
But there will be jam when it does...
Got to love people correcting other people's articulation etc on the internet :-q
Give a little!
Orcs if you need the slightest consolation (I doubt you do) I knew what you meant.
Tomorrow and tommorow and tomorow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable .... :)

Thanks Norm. You,re right.
I am half way through my week of nights where I do 100+ hours including travel and get approx. 4-6 hours sleep in 24 hours. So misspelled words or incorrect grammar are the least of my worries.
So I do wonder how those correcting me would do in similar circumstances.
If you would like to try can I suggest you do the following :-
1 Get up as normal on Sunday, have an hours snooze in the afternoon.
2 Stay up all night and then go to work on Monday morning.
3 When you get home sit at a computer reading until work + computer time = 14 hours
4 Then you can have 5 hours sleep (max) - note, this will probably be more fitful that a shift worker gets as its during the night when it dark and quiet. No black out curtain or double glazing can truly block all light and noise. If you really want to make it realistic, get someone to wake you twice in your sleep time to simulate your neighbour mowing the lawn or doing DIY.
5 Repeat 3 and four for 7 days
Then see how well you can function. :)
Secondly I do know of one person who regularly contributed to the forum with battle reports and scenarios who got so fed up of the "Grammar Nazis" (his words not mine) he stopped using the forum.
Ah! The joys of sleep deprivation.
I thought when I retired and no longer had to do the round of up at six thirty for the seven am conference call, work all morning, eat at desk, work until late, finish last call between eleven pm and midnight, go to bed and get up to do it all again that I could look forward to blissful nights of sleep.
I would finally be able to go to bed when I was tired (2am-ish) and get up when I awoke (10am-ish) after years of living to a timetable set by other people's body clocks.
My little house has many advantages but, being one of a set of four-to-a-block maisonettes thrown up on the cheap just prior to WW2, soundproofing is not one of them.
It is only a small exaggeration to say that I can not only hear the neighbours change TV channels, I can also hear them change their minds.
Honeywell's Howard Leight Laser Lite lightweight earplugs have been a godsend.
As to daylight, I have always slept better during the day than during the hours of darkness so my friend's kind gift of an air travel "blindfold" is largely unused.
Wait ... how did we get here from vegetarianism? :)

The joys of shift work - to include nights;
It is your first night on, you wake up normally that morning, stay awake all day like a normal person, but instead of going to bed that night like a normal person, you stay up all night and work at top performance, often in a job that involves safety (not saftey as my spell checker just reminded me :) ). By 3 AM, you are feeling in a way that cannot be described amongst such polite company.
Get your worst sleep on nights, get into bed at 8am, sleep well until 12 noon and then the slightest thing has you awake (read postal delivery, next doors dog, lawn mower etc), best sleep will be until 1 pm. After 7 of those on the run, you are destroyed.
Wake up at 12.30 on Sunday, it's your third night and the family can't understand why you don't want to share in a full roast dinner, you explain patiently again that when they wake up, they have a light breakfast!
You have just done your last night, having done somewhere between 4 and 7 of them, you get to bed at 8 am, but it's your day off and you don't want to waste it, so you ask the family to wake you at 11, they do and you feel as sick as a pig for he rest of the day! You go to bed that night, for the second time that day and have a rubbish sleep, because now your body wants to be awake.
Having said all of that, i worked with a bloke who had his best sleep on nigts and his wife had to wake him up so that he didn't oversleep and find himself late for his next life shift !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I just did all of them to annoy people) :)
Tomorrow ... I will mostly be painting 1066 Saxon Fyrd ....... if my neck stops being strangely sore!

Yep that's about it, but I completely reverse my day
07:15 Shift Ends
08:00 Home (if traffic ok)
08:30 Evening meal - Normally light
0900-11:00 My Evening
11:30 Bedtime
12:00 Lights out
17:30 Get up and have breakfast
18:00 Leave for work
01:00 Dinner
I get cross when they suggest that the day after my last night is a "Day off" I have just done 7 hours 15 minutes in that day - how is that a day off?

I didn't get that far with a performance last Monday; so bad we walked out before the end of act II.
We did see Gandalf as King Lear in July, however. Phew!
Does Gandalf act or just have three daughters ?
That's not in the film. Is it in the book ?
I think he was pretending, very convincingly, to be someone else.
