Did anyone watch the videos that I linked? I figured there'd be a comment or two by now... lol

Well some stereotypes are based on truth but not all middle easterns eat curries.

@Chris Sure, next time I'm in Canada I will bring Kraut, Beer and Sausages wearing my best Dindl but only if I am allowed tobpet the Moose!

I got another stereotype... as a German I'm always in time!

Yeah......"

I started keeping my bedside clock XX minutes ahead as a kid for school... I got worse about it over time... to the point that my bedside clock is 43 minutes fast now... my alarm goes off and I basically have 43 minutes to get ready and leave to get to work (or I did before I shifted my alarm 30 minutes to have more Goodreads time)...

It's a stupid system, since my phone alarm runs on real world time... but I can't break the habit...

Butter chicken, Tandoori chicken and Beef Korma are my favorites... I've been neglecting my kids long enough now, I should probably go feed them. I'll check back later to see what's up!

I watched the polite standoff... reminded me of an SNL skit... I watched the first minute of the acclimation video... moose country was funny...

O.o the best I could do is a Moosehead beer! Like, moose are tall, eh! And they trot a good 30 kph! Moose don't run...

I liked mild chicken curry with french fries as a kid... but my parents usually just made it for themselves... another meal item I should really add to my recipe book... especially since I've been buying chicken more this past year...

[Anni]

@Siobhan Yeah, that's right most of the time the trains are on time, but then there's unexpected snowfall in winter (I mean isn't it surprising? Snow? In the middle of winter? Who could have foretold that exept every meteorologist?) and nothing is working :D

I think we are spoiled and love to rant about delayed trains 😂

@Chris I will watch them when I get home :)

YAY! My job here is done then, be back later!

That sounds like a dirty euphemism...

[Chris]

Chicken is cheaper now that people are eating more drumsticks... It takes less time for the butcher to catch them! Ok im done, my kids need lunch lol.

[Anni]

@Iain Urgh you are right 😂😂 That's not what I meant!

I also did the clock-thing but I got so used to it that I automatically subtracted the time... Or I was like 'Oh I have so much time left because of my bonus X minutes, let's do this and this...' and then I was late again 😂

[Ahdam]

@Siobhan That's interesting I take the train all the time here and there usually on time for me sometime I wish the trains arrive a bit earlier as on my way home I have to wait outside in the cold till the train comes but I guess different trains

@Anni No offense but that sounded wrong

[Ahdam]

Dammit I'm starting to lose the conversation now what to do what to do I know this

[Ahdam]

On a real note though this is probably the longest I've spent talking on goodreads because I think I started talking on goodreads in the morning and now I'm questioning what am I doing with my life

You're spending time with friends Ahdam. That's what you're doing. LOL!

[Anni]

@Ahdam Damn! Again? Or still the same post? My head is all fluffy cotton candy right now and I am unable to say something without making a fool out of myself 🙈

[Ahdam]

It was the same post but I was a but delayed in replying and Iain got to it before me hahaha dont worry I sometimes say some random or weird stuff at times so your all good

[idiffer]

@Chris
I watched them, but... had nothing funny/relevant to say.

I'm not watching a 15 minute clip right now... but isn't that the British show that House of Cards with Keven Spacey was based on?...

[idiffer]

Ok, I'm off to pet the moose

This seems like an open-ended timeline... you could have started talking this morning... or some long ago morning :D

Nope its called the thick of it and pretty much its a political satire show an its more of an answer to another political satire called yes minister this is the UK house of cards

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I saw Capaldi and assumed... I knew Capaldi was in the British show I was talking about...

I've really only seen Capaldi in Torchwood: Children of Earth and Doctor Who...

[idiffer]

I'm going to force petting the moose into a FBR meme. Just FYI

[Ahdam]

While it would be cool if he was mr Urquhart but I love him as Malcolm Tucker AKA the Prime ministers enforcer AKA Gorbals Goebbels

[Anni]

@Idiffer I hope you have a lot of fun petting the Moose 😉

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

idiffer prefers to "wrestle the bear"

[idiffer]

I'm selling the bear

[Siobhan]

idiffer wrote: "I'm selling the bear"

I'll buy the bear!

[idiffer]

speaking of bears, in another (?) thread i told you to BEAR with me. I'm all about accidental puns today

[Anni]

Siobhan wrote: "idiffer wrote: "I'm selling the bear"

You really like to buy idiffer's "bear"? 😂

[Siobhan]

My god I was away like an hour...

Chris, I watched the videos! 😂 😂 😂

Ahdam, I'm glad trains are on time in Yorkshire! Can you ask them to have a word with the North East lot? XD

Idiffer, I'm all for the petting the moose meme. 👍

[idiffer]

omg... what have we done...

Hey! You get back to that moose :p

[Anni]

Finally my shift ended, so I'm off feeding the horses...

[idiffer]

This is the point where I'm all like "if I say this, will it be too much?"

Best to stop if your own brain is censoring you! 😂

You guys, sometimes I think GR has encouraged me to read so much more than I ever did, then sometimes it's my biggest obstacle to reading!! How long have I spent on here today?? 🙈😩

[Ahdam]

I'm pretty sure around the same time as me and I'm pretty sure we started in the morning but its nice to have friends even though we're somewhere around the globe it's pretty nice to talk to people about random stuff so there's my deep moment

[Siobhan]

Ahdam wrote: "I'm pretty sure around the same time as me and I'm pretty sure we started in the morning but its nice to have friends even though we're somewhere around the globe it's pretty nice to talk to people..."

You're right, I've had fun talking to you guys today. We've definitely been here since this morning Ahdam! I pretty much woke up and checked my phone...

Yeah me too, but that's obviously what we needed today. Socialization instead of a good book. It's just cool to be able to get both in the same spot!

[Ahdam]

True it’s been pretty nice to just talk to my mates hahaha

In other news I start training for my new job tomorrow and I don’t know if I should be excited or terrified but hopefully all goes well 😂😂😂

Good Luck!

[Anni]

If everything fails, just sing them a song Ahdam ;) Good luck tomorrow.

it's nearly 9pm and I am starting baking a cake and tons of brownies right now 😂 I don't think I will find time to read at all today...
That aside, you guys brightened my workday today and as Ahdam has his deep moment before, here's mine ;) I'm so incredibly happy to joined this group and meet all of you wonderful people 😁

[Siobhan]

Oh I'm so jealous, i want cake!!

That's so sweet. I'm so happy I joined and met you guys too! Having so many people to talk about books with, or just chat shit with is amazing :) ♥

The 15th was my birthday, so in honour of you having cake, Ishall have some of my leftover strawberry cheesecake with you! Since its my favorite!

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

LOL!! I just woke up, saw the large amount of comments here (a sign for a mod to check immediately)... was laughing that there’s so many comments about pet moose, eating curry, chicken drumsticks 😂

Phew! Cause I’m tapped out on my patience as hall monitor
