  1. Good luck with the interview than, Sarah! I'm sure they'll snap you up in a heartbeat (working in a Library! That's my dream job!)

  2. Sarah! My friend! How are you? What are you up to currently? What's the square root of 32,879? I like what you've done with your ears. Very fetching. I might get mine done. x

  3. Mac

    Check my bad self one time! Eee-hee!

     

    How's it ALL going, fella. It's been a long time since last we spoke. Are you well? Are you having fun? Are you prepared for the big push? Are you aware that I have lost my marbles? Have you seen them anywhere?

     

    Has anyone seen my watch?

    Back in my day, we knew what cold was, you whipper-snapper, you! A bag of coal would last us two winters and if we complained, they'd take that off us!

     

    La la laaaa. But, eeee, by 'eck ma, it's parky, tha knows. Tha's rate, sirrah.

     

    Pip pip.

  5. Fine and diddly-dandy, thank you. Despite all the things I do, because I love doing them, they don't seem like a chore at all.

     

    I hope I read you right and you actually do enjoy the blog. It makes me bark out loud sometimes!

     

    Have a lovely evening! x

    Steve, mate. Have a look throughout the site. This isn't a forum full of your standard whack-jobs. Everyone here is very well read, very bright and very friendly. You could check out my thread named McRecommends (the hilarity of it's name!) for some other recommendations, if you like. Or if you want to read some reviews, have a look at Mac Reads (started 2009). There's tonnes of guff on there to get your juices flowing!

     

    Also, you could check out Nollaig's blog for her reviews, which are always excellent. Chrysalis_stage reads similar stuff to me, as does Lexipiper.

     

    Hope this helps. :D

    Alright, youth? How goes it in the Motherland?

  8. Whoa! Missed your birthday, too! I'm an atrocious man! Belated :sign0072::hbsign::5birthday::balloons::party: Kel!

     

    Sorry...x

  9. (part 2) I have a cat. He's called Frank, he's seven years old and as I type he is at the vet's having what I like to euphemistically call "having his wheels clamped", bless him.

     

    It's a necessity imposed upon him by the RSPCA when they hand him over to a new home. I think he's been a stray for all these years. Believe me, were it up to me, I'd never do it to the poor little fella.

     

    I hope you are very, very well and lovely (of this last, I am sure).

     

    Take care.

  10. Bonjour, Genevieve. It's been a while since I last caught up with you, so here I am.

     

    What's been happening with you? Many good things, one hopes, and nothing to cause you grief or distress.

     

    I have been tremendously busy, almost to the point where I've ground to an obstinate halt. I seem to fill my entire days with scouts, Duke of Edinburgh's Award, teaching or school. No time for yours truly. But, saying this, the weather has been astonishingly good whilst I've been outdoors, gadding about over the hills and moors and I have encountered little to pose a challenge, so who am I to complain?

  11. Yo, Nollaig. Hope you're still well and groovy. Have you had a chance to check out that link I've PM'd you to the Speak Your Branes (sic) website?

     

    It's remarkably off tangent today! I love it!

  12. Aloha, Michelle. Just scooting by to say a very belated Happy Birthday and a good luck with the leaving work thing (one assumes that it's a good thing and through choice due to the countdown factor...)

     

    Of course, it might not be through choice - maybe you're prescient and foresaw a point where you're trapped beneath something heavy, a wardrobe, or a Gnu, say, and had the decency to hand your notice in to save the embarrassment of having to explain why you weren't there for the past few weeks - a Gnu, of all things! What were you thinking?!?

     

    *sounds of Mac dropping his marbles all over the living room floor and, look, there, a few of them definitely plummeted through the floorboards...

  13. Mac

    Hiya Kate. Of course, you PM'd me and I completely got sidetracked and forgot to write back - I'm really sorry.

     

    I'm not 'feeling' the Charlaine Harris books at the moment - not sure why. It might be just one of those odd Macthings I get. Would you like to post it on to the next person on the list?

     

    How are things with you, my friend? Lovely wedding picture top left, by the way - love the hair! x

  14. I shall await contact and will provide any service or advice to which I am able. Stay well, Giulia, my friend. x

  15. You're more than welcome, lady!

  16. Aloha. 'Tis all I wanted to say. :friends0:

  17. Mac

    Crazy, fella. Crazy. Don't know whether I'm coming or going. I may well need to make a status update on my life...

     

    How's the new house. You settling in well?

  18. One of his - Weathercock - is one of those books where the subject matter tests ones capacity for perseverance to the point where you go "That's it! I can't possibly read any more of this! It's far too disturbing!" and you turn the page and Mr Duncan exonerates himself. A challenging author, one who rewards his readers for sticking with him.

     

    Death of an Ordinary Man is excellent, too! :D

  19. Yo, Kelly! How're things witchoo, lady? Not chatted for a while so thought I would bomb in and go woohoo woohoo woohoo! :woohoo:

     

    What's the beef, chief? Art well? x:friends0:

  20. Ooh ooh oooooh! You're reading I, Luciifer! It's brilliant. I love Glen Duncan. Have you read any of his others, or is this a new author for you? His other stuff is ace as well. Sometimes he really tests the reader. Great. Magic. Primo.

     

    I actually typed the word 'primo'.

     

    Sigh.

     

    Hope you're well, Noll. x

    Hi Sarah. How are things in the land of sunshine and plenty? I hope all is well with you and that your parents stumped up the cash for your tuition. And I'm really pleased they changed your grade from F to A.

     

    Funnily enough, I wouldn't be surprised if, when I finally take my exams, I end up getting sweet FA...:lol:

     

    Take care, my friend. Hope everything is tickety-boo. x

  22. La la laaaa! Hello Beth! How's the networking...erm...working, lady? I hope you're having a super time.

     

    I'm tremendously busy at the mo, but am off sick with a rather unpleasant stomach bug - most likely a result of being so busy. But it's mostly outdoor stuff, teaching young folk how to do stuff in the wild. Love it. Not complaining. Only my stomach is.

     

    Take good care, my friend. x

  23. Mac

    Hi Ben. How're things with you? I'm assuming you are at school at this time. I'm off sick today (as I was yesterday) - I seem to have caught a reasonably unpleasant stomach bug. Last week I was away with 40 Y7's on a residential outdoor activity week. Now, this sort of thing is totally my bag, but I managed to get about sixteen hours sleep over the whole period, which has probably made me run down a little. I was out on the hills with the scouts all weekend as well.

     

    I need my head read. :roll:

  24. Why, what's up, Giulia? Emotional upsets are my area of expertise, you know. Despite all appearances and professional background, I'm the softest sack of doormats the country has ever seen. x

  25. Mac

    Yo. Sedge, mate. Art well, youth? :D
