This has been one of the bitterest weeks of my life, with mayhem and bedlum surrounding me....but I won't bore you with the rancid details.
However, much more importantly, young Growler Jnr went for his first proper job interview this morning at Chester Zoo, and he got the job there and then! Starts 4th April.
To put it mildy, he's over the moon, and so am I! cloud9:
I know I'm his dad and all that, but he'll be a total asset to them.
-
Does he need any bananas?
-
Hello Growler ~ I wondered where you got to.
Excellent news about the lad. happy088
-
Well done Growler Junior.
-
Does he need any bananas?
Dunno, why? confused:
Might be able to obtain some 'dissy' on an elephant or goat if you're interested! lol:
-
Well done Growler Junior!
-
Sounds like you have a rough time eeek: - but good news about your son's job. He must be thrilled and delighted - given that getting any job is so difficult these days and especially at his age this is an excellent achievement

rubschin: All that elephant shite ~ you'll have fine Rhubarb next year I expect

Do they do cheap donkeys?

I haven't seen you since we went to the Donkey Sanctuary last but I still have a badge for you. It is a red heart with flashing lights and the word DONKEYS! on it. You'll love it. lol:

cloud9:
I shall wear it on special occasions (e.g. weddings)
-
He's standing over me reading all this, and says "thanks everyone"
He's been so depressed these last few weeks, applying for jobs, being rejected or not even getting a reply.
He was feeling very nervous this morning, and slightly pessamistic words were being muttered about his chances as he was about to leave. noooo:
A quick stern reminder that he had to go in feeling optomistic and cheerful seems to have done the trick, along with all the knowledge he's had drummed into him about the Zoo over the last 2 weeks.
A fine employer that is going places and expanding.

Very moving. Jobs are hard to come by. The boy did well

Must admit I was quite shocked when he came in and announced his achievement. I was fully expecting a 2 week wait for the postman.
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't have a tear in my eye for him.
Don't think I've ever seen him so upbeat, and of course with his 17th fast approaching he can now start resuming his dreams of learning to drive again ....which he'd miserably put on hold, saying, "what's the point. I need a job first"
Free elephant poo all round everyone! happy088

What is the RRP on a Gnu and why is it now called a Wilderbeest, I think we need to know.

I do a lot of that Miss D, e.g Where do flies go in winter? why do men have nipples? Why do women have multiple orgasms? Why does toast always fall butter side down?, it's all very worrying.

As long as flies are gone I really don't care where evil:
Men have nipples so that you have somewhere to put the croc clip connectors from the battery charge when they start running slow noooo:
Women have multiple orgasms because we are much more sensitive creatures of course 8)
Toast will always flip butter side because the Law of the Sod is far more significant than any other scientific principle

I saw some ants today, and young Growler jnr. saw some Bees at dawn. eeek:

What have ants got to do with it? whacky115

Once again, a thread has been derailed....by you....going off on a tangent about flies and stuff, so seeing as it's MY thread, I thought I'd politely join in with my fasinating observation.

Quite. Very calming. P'raps young Growler jnr could follow in his footsteps to help soothe my troubled mind. cloud9:
They've got some 'Spectacled Bears' there too apparently.
I could make some new friends here. rubschin:

What is it...seriously? rubschin: New or used?
The week has ended on a bright and mentally sunny note for me.
Luvlee walk up me 'ill with growler jnr, and we took the long circular route. Thick fog and tit freezing, but great banter and excercise.
This of course was preceeded by a full Bears breakfast cooked in the woods.
Truly scrumptious. cloud9:
I then get home to view the footie results, and WOW!
Mancs, chelski and the bitter bitter blue noses ALL beaten! Absolutely stonkingly fantastic news.
I'm actually feeling quite joyous at this moment. Weird feeeling but true. eeek:

Nice one GOS. Actually quite a good motor thems are. happy088
Cdti or petrol?
Vauxhalls are giving a grand in p/x to scrap your old banger at the mo., regardless of condition apparently.
-
Petrol, they were offering £2000 off the Antara, 4x4.. I was sorely tempted, a sexy looking motor, but so impracticable noooo:
-
I had the DTi version before switching to the Picasso ~ mine was black too ~ it was and IMHO still is the best colour for a Zafira.

Does it come with those two little fat boys tho...? rubschin:
-
Mine didn''t ~ Mine came with two very small, well spoken and polite little boys and a lumpy morose teenager. Trouble was, although the boys were happy to travel in the very rear seats they were about the only ones who could in any comfort and when those two seats were in use there was sod all room for any luggage so I switched to a five seater Citroen. All are agreed that it is more comfortable but it is not as fast or as economic as the Zafira.
The one added bonus is that with a five seater and five in the family I can no longer cart inlaws, outlaws or the THW's boyfriend around with us cloud9:
