    delayed
    feeling a bit weird - was up early to finish packing and head off to Scotland, but since it snowed last night, and has now been snowing for the last hour with not good reports of the A1 and A9, I'm delaying until tomorrow, probably. So now I have a random part of a day to fill, surrounded by packed bags and boxes and wishing I had gone up earlier.

    Must now walk to shops to get some food as I have none in

    Bizarrity. I'm watching Never Mind The Buzzcocks being presented by David Tennant... and it sounds SO WIERD hearing him with his proper, Scottish accent.
    Suddening I understand Morg's tale about the larper who refused to believe I'm Scottish because he's only ever heard me being Mina o-0

    Christmas cards
    It has become a tradition that Dessie and I no longer send Christmas cards to friends and family. Instead, we make a £50 donation to a charity. We prefer to put the money that would have been spent on cards and postage to better use than lining Clinton's pockets.

    This year, our chosen charity is Shelter, who work to help the homeless and keep people off the streets as much as possible. In the weather we're having at the moment, the thought of being homeless is something I don't want to contemplate.

    Please consider this your Christmas card. We hope you have a Joyous yule, wonderful Christmas, and fabulous New year.

    Looking forward to spending lots of happy times with you all in 2010.

    Love to you all.

    Bría, Derek and Duncan.

    The best tanking stats?
    I'm currently working on getting my main (Warrior) up to scratch for HC and raids and I've been given some contradicting information from various sources about the health and def caps that I should be aiming for. At the moment I have health at 27K and defense at 546 unbuffed.

    I've been told by some people that you need to have at least 30K health and defense 546 unbuffed. Others have told me that it's 40K health and 600 def unbuffed. I've also been told that health and armour matter more than defense (which I thought was a bit silly).

    So, my question is this: what do you think are the best stats for tanking?

    Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.
    OK, so here's the deal. I've gotten to a point where I want to cut my hair. Cut it all the way back. Boom! No more long hair for Yoda.

    But, thing is, I know a lot of my friends like my hair. I know even more are generous and like helping out charities, so I'm going to take advantage of that.

    For every hundred pounds donated, I'll delay cutting my hair by a month. I was planning to get it cut in the new year, but then I came up with this idea. So, already I'm delaying it till February.

    What this means, is that if there's £100 donated by the 1st of February, then I won't get it cut till March. If it hits £200 by 1st of March, it'll be April. Get the idea?

    I'll be looking for hairdressers that can help me donate the hair to charity as well, so that's another way we'll be helping.

    So, yeh. If you want to help out Cancer Research UK, or you just don't want me to cut my hair, then please donate.

    Celtic Warrior > Viking
    "The first warp-spasm seized Cúchulainn, and made him into a monstrous thing, hideous and shapeless, unheard of. His shanks and his joints, every knuckle and angle and organ from head to foot, shook like a tree in the flood or a reed in the stream. His body made a furious twist inside his skin, so that his feet and shins switched to the rear and his heels and calves switched to the front... On his head the temple-sinews stretched to the nape of his neck, each mighty, immense, measureless knob as big as the head of a month-old child... he sucked one eye so deep into his head that a wild crane couldn't probe it onto his cheek out of the depths of his skull; the other eye fell out along his cheek. His mouth weirdly distorted: his cheek peeled back from his jaws until the gullet appeared, his lungs and his liver flapped in his mouth and throat, his lower jaw struck the upper a lion-killing blow, and fiery flakes large as a ram's fleece reached his mouth from his throat... The hair of his head twisted like the tange of a red thornbush stuck in a gap; if a royal apple tree with all its kingly fruit were shaken above him, scarce an apple would reach the ground but each would be spiked on a bristle of his hair as it stood up on his scalp with rage."

    ... Riastrad. More badass then your silly 'Bear Shirt' thingy. ;)

    So, any suggestions?

    Because i am a Shithead and this made me giggle.
    You are now blinking manually.

    Your body is itching in at least one place.

    The final countdown is playing in your head.

    You are now aware of your heart beating.

    You are now breathing manually.

    You are now aware that your jaw has weight and you are holding it up

    You are now aware that you cannot say Irish wristwatch.

    You also feel how heavy your arms are on your desk.

    You are now aware of your tongue.

    You are now controlling your tongue manually.

    You are now swallowing your saliva manually

    You are about to lick your lips.

    Gym Stats
    A few people have now inquired about the silly numbers which occasionally populate my facebook as regards the Gym
    So for those people who actually care; here is what those numbers mean.
    It's also a way for me to track my progress.
    This is my current target workout (which I am achieving.. .just) for 3 - 4 visits per week
    Overall I'm pretty happy with the way things are moving. My strength is significantly greater than what it was, as is my stamina.
    My physique is also slightly better :)
    So.. without further ado

    That was..
    ...interesting. One phone call to let me know the venue for the interview had changed, followed by another to change the time and when I did arrive I didn't meet the 5 foot tall Caroline I had been briefed to expect, but a somewhat taller chap named Mark.
    Didn't get asked any difficult questions, and when I got home I received another call from the recruitment consultant to ask if I would be happy with the salary on offer(.. happy-ish, I'll have to work damn hard to earn commission to keep bringing in what I have been. BUT I WON'T BE MASSAGING FOR 6 HOURS A DAY, WOOOOOOO!) and would I be able to decrease my notice period. Hmm, not sure if I can manage that or not. Is there any way to do that? It's not like I can put holiday towards it or anything :/
