[Aaagh] Damn mosquitos ...

[dancefloorlandmine]

Something has bitten me on the ankle. As in just above the ankle bone. Damn it itched this morning! Thank you, that's today's main whinge over.

I need to buy you anti itch Stuff. Yes. Then rub it on.

Mmmmm.

[aeia.livejournal.com]

At least it's not under a plaster cast.. I had the itches this morning!

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Oooh! That's really bad. Maybe someone should invent a kind of plaster cast which reduces the itching sensation beneath it?

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Something or one?

You don't have neighbours that appear a touch anaemic do you? Like to keep the curtains closed, that kind of thing?

[valkyriekaren.livejournal.com]

One of his neighbours is French and works in McDonalds. You can't tell me that's normal.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Sorry, you mean that it's normal for him to

- Be a neighbour of DancefloorLandmine
- Work in McDonalds
- or Be French?

:-b

She's the manager of the Burger King franchise at the local hospital (in itself a bizarre concept). My mother was rather disappointed when she found that out - I suspect it ruined her opinion of the French as being generally interested in cuisine.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Roi du Burger surely?

I suspect the hospital staff love it, plus it's very closely for the Crash team if necessary.

Sadly, but all accounts the French attitude to cuisine is declining a bit.

Actually, that would be me ... wonder if I've been snacking in my sleep? On my own ankle? Hmmm ... although I do like garlic as well. A lot.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Well, if you have Scottish or Irish roots I guess that would make you more of a Celtic bloodsucker.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Part Irish, actually ...

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

There you go, I believe they had their own form of blood-sucker (and no I don't mean midges)

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Well, other than the English ... [grin]

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Less parasites, more sucessfully farming the natives ;p

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

[grin] Actually, I believe that my Irish ancestry is more the protestant side, so we'd probably be those farmers ... Oops.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Surname wasn't Boycott was it?
If so you have etymological rights.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Nope, Russell.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Ah, so they were THAT kind of farmer then.

[rich-r.livejournal.com]

That's my name, gerroff...

(though my roots on that side are from the Oban area of Scotland)

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Hey, nowt wrong with the honourable profession of being reavers.... ;p

[velvetfox.livejournal.com]

That's where fleas like to bite.

There's a battery-powered clicky thing yu can get that gets rid of itches without creams.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Yeah - I think wechsler has the piezo version - effectively a very small taser which stuns the area, as far as I recall.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

I do like the icon.

Is thems yours?

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Part of the prop collection. That one was just that I'd lobbed them down on to the sofabed and decided that they looked a bit like a cyberpunk game tableau.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Toys [drool]

Very nice, very nice indeed

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Actually, the collection is slightly larger than that - here is another image, but I'll be creating some new iconage of the prop collection at some point.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, shiny.

Me likey, me likey lots.

Where's the sword from?

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

It was picked up in the army surplus shop in York - shiny, but soft metal and not so good close up.

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Shame.

BTW - Army Surplus Shop? Whereabouts (please bear in mind the last time I was in Eofwick was about 10 years ago)

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Opposite the Barbican petrol station, just by the bridge ...

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

You know, I think I vaguely know where you mean.

[freeqboi.livejournal.com]

you could try my cure for itches... basicly loads of alcohol, taken internally.

no itch!!

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

[grin] Not sure how practical that one is for working (or even getting to work), given my minimal tolerance for alcohol ...

[freeqboi.livejournal.com]

see this is the genius part of the plan... on a day like this you should take the alcohol somewhere in the sun sitting down, preferably somewhere green or beachy!! hehehehe

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

There are a lot of people enjoying the sun with their tins in the park outside the office. But then, most of them are there in the rain as well ...

[rich-r.livejournal.com]

Anthisan cream - from Boots. Works a treat at reducing insect bite swelling and itching.

[d-floorlandmine.livejournal.com]

Cheers, dude!
