Is there a user named work? 😉
We have been bringing in blueberries by the bucket from our bushes and they are the BEST– hence my suggestion that we plant blueberries in the Beatles Bible House.
They’re so criminally good they should be kept under lock and key. I’ve already eaten far more than is good for me.

Bored @work. Hope my bosses don’t see this!
You’re boss shouldnt be browsing here during the day.
@Linde, i’m looking for a job in care. I got the qualification back in 2011 but never got to apply for work for family and health reasons: apologies, there was a 2/3 week break between a death and another horror to unfold in which i sent some applications out and got an interview. I didnt get the job, i would never have taken it.

@AppleScruffJunior FACTOR 10? Man, I have to put on factor 50! I was just folding the laundry that had just dried, outside and it took me about 15 minutes and I already got sunburnt! Tis the curse of having been born as a ginger! Have fun on your holiday and try to make the best of it.
I don’t think my family have 100% Celtic blood in that none of us are pasty, “typical Irish” who get sunburnt when they’re outside for 2 minutes. See example:
We probably mixed with some French-Normans or what not a couple of hundred years ago and now we’re able to get semi-tanned, it’s great!

The Normans weren’t strictly French………..
Replace tan with dirt and this picture reminds me of my youth…….. We didn’t have a bathroom, (shared the toilet with next door)… so morning washes before I went on my paper-round would be at the kitchen sink …….face to collar and hands to cuffs. God we must have stank!

God , Atlas, er, I mean @Wigwam, I thought I had a modest upbringing! We were royalty compared to you: for most of my childhood, we had 1 1/2 baths available for only 5 people. I tripped out the door at 4:30 a.m. to deliver my papers fresh as a daisy.

That’s completely understandable! You should get a job whenever you feel right, and whenever the job feels right. A job in care, alright, that sounds good! What kind of direction? Elderly people? Young people? Addicts? Or are you just applying for whatever comes your way?
@AppleScruffJunior Yeah I have looked almost like that at times! My parents, grandparents and siblings all have brown hair, dark eyes and get a tan easilyAt least my eyebrows and eyelashes aren’t blonde. I think I must have been switched at birth with someone who is now an Irish twentysomething, judging from their usual complexion!

It’s possible, I know a good few Irish twentysomethings- I’ll ask around and see if they have a peculiar love of tulips/windmalls, are fairly tall and if they wear clogs (ahh stereotypes).
Good luck on your job applications mmm!
Today I got stung twice in the space of about 5 seconds, on my finger and my back while I was swimming

You had a tree?!?
I had to walk 100km from our little hole in the ground and back to climb over the 20m wall of our landlord’s garden, where he’d try to fire his shotgun and set his hounds on me! Then I had to crawl through a bunch of nettles to snap a rotting, limp branch off a diseased ash tree while I avoided getting a bullet in the keister! I’d then have to crawl through the nettles again, climb over the 20m wall, walk back the 100km distance and when I’d get home I’d have to eat some mushy black potatoes in our hole in the ground because they’d fail again. Half an hour later and I’d have to walk to the nearest town 20km away where I’d be shoved up somebody’s chimney and try to clean it while they lit a fire under me!
You were living in bloody luxury mate!

I’m currently thrilled that my Penguins finally got that high scoring first line winger they’ve always needed and haven’t really had since Hossa left. Welcome to the Burgh, Phil. (Plus I’m glad we didn’t have to give up any huge pieces, namely Maata or Pouliot)
