My ickle bro has offered to make me a website for a scandalous but not too enormous sum of money. Am pleased. *bounce*

Went to Specsavers re glasses lost on tram. Seems that since I'm still in full-time education and I was due for a check-up anyway, replacement pair are free. Love NHS *bounce*. Unfortunately, they didn't have a pair identical to my old ones in stock, so they've had to order them in - 10 days? OK, since it's over 2 weeks until lectures start, therefore do not need yet.

Have been persuaded by brother that I need the Google taskbar thingy for IE. Which I got, which is cool, but then found that in order to take advantage of its miraculour pop-up filter, I needed IE 5.5 not 5.05. So had to get that as well - installation took ages. Still, now no more horrible pop-ups *bounce*

Why is it that last night was -3C outside, yet I still woke up at 1am this morning feeling like I was being cooked in an oven? Seriously, I was boiling, chucking off the covers and everything. Our central heating switches off at night, so it's not even like the radiators were on. It was just so darned hot! *growls*

You don't need to bribe the brother. I know HTML and CSS. PHP you'd have to find someone else for, though, ut that's only used on really big sites.

My bro was hanging over my shoulder when I got your comment. His reaction was: "HTML and CSS - la-di-da" He's sulking now, cos he has a competitor ;-) He sounds so excited about the whole prospect, I'm inclined to indulge him just to see what happens...

Thanks for the offer *appreciative hug* - if he screws up, be sure I'll come running to you for reassurance and help!

[anuanu.livejournal.com]

Mkay. I can also do frames, am the tables king, and I've built professional sites twice before. I use notepad and IE, and my brain, that's it.

If the lad really wants the job let him have at it. I'll just sit in the corner and twiddle my thumbs. :D

[anuanu.livejournal.com]

PS: And I work for free.

*:p at brother*

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

*realisation dawns* Aaaah! You've sold me - screw the bro (well, *please* not literally) go Anu!!! *bounce*

Apologies for ever doubting you, sweetie. *hug* I bet you'll be great :-)

[anuanu.livejournal.com]

*laughs loudly* Still, let him have a shot at it. He may have something killer in mind.

I don't. I'll be going on your ideas.

[anuanu.livejournal.com]

Are you the brother?

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

*looks confused*

'Scuse me?
Nope, can definitely assure you that he is a distinct and discrete individual who is not me. Thank God!

Or am I missing something?

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Just a sec...did his anonymous and rather rude flame somehow get unscreened? I deleted it, cos it was uncalled for, but knowing my luck, it probably ended up everywhere anyway.

[anuanu.livejournal.com]

There was a screened comment, posted in your name. Something along the lines of 'you will be assimilated.' Wich makes no sense, actually. Assimilate is kind of like digest. Unless he's a cannibal, I think he meant ahnnilate, to destroy utterly.

Whoever it was.

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Erm, yes, that was him.

I take it you've never seen one of the Borg episodes of Star Trek, then. "We are the Borg, you will be *assimilated*, yadda yadda yadda..."

Hot! How on Earth did you feel warm? Are you actualy in the UK?

For comparison it's 10:40 am in Guiseley and its still -3 Celcius. *Shivers*

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

You live in Guiseley? Home of Harry Ramsdens!
*does the "I used to live near you" jumping up and down dance*
I used to live pretty near you, kind of a bit down the road in Adel - do you know it at all! We used to go to Guiseley White Cross every now and again for fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens. I even have one of those little fluffy bugs with,"I've been to Harry Ramsdens" on the tail to prove it!

Since when the fuck have you worn glasses??!!??!!??!!

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

*looks sheepish*
Well, um, technically since May (!)
In practice, only in lectures (and for coxing) since October. My prescription is -1.25 and -1.50 so I'm not that short-sighted really. Trouble is, when I'm wearing the damn things I've got like, no depth perception. It took me two months before I could even go up and down steps in them at a reasonable speed.

[fairypants.livejournal.com]

it's weird innit
i got used to it
i love my glasses

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

I still have the feeling that sometimes I can see less with them than without.
They're purple *grins*

[fairypants.livejournal.com]

I hope they are purple frames, Gid used to have blue lenses to help with his dyslexia!

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

It's only relatively recently that they've discovered how useful tinted lenses are for all sorts of things; dyslexia, migraines, nyastigmus, etc. It's great how they can match the exact shade for each person. Apparently, if you're like, 3 tones out, it doesn't help at all for some patients (sorry, read an article in New Scientist).

But no, mine are just regular lenses with purple frames :-)

ah! Lets tell a new joke.

aha! Erm...why do leprechauns wear two condoms?
T' be sure T' be sure!

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. Why?

[fairypants.livejournal.com]

read the last line again!

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Aaaah, I see! *grins*

[fairypants.livejournal.com]

hehehhehe
know anymore jokeS?

[enismirdal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but...erm...most are in dubious taste (and my dad's calling us to lunch, so no time to tell them).

[fairypants.livejournal.com]

I shall tell you a new joke.
What's brown and sticky?

A STICK!

HAHAHAHA!


What's white and can't climb trees?

A REFRIDGERATER!
