Today, my housemates and I had a TV day ... it was going well til Anna seemed to think that help would arrive before the Titanic sank :/
Today I learned that if you drop a laboratory carbon monoxide exit warning strip into coffee it goes the same colour as a positive result
I also learned if you don't tell the laboratory technicians that you've done it, they use bad language
I do however feel that the use of 'retarded' was a mite excessive so I shall plot my revenge
*evil dark twisted music*
Dear reader, thought I'd share a little.
After a little delay, went to Elizabeth's for Sunday lunch and I was right, she'd worked and fussed on it for ages; she hadn't spoken to a living soul for ten days which is really sad. We all ate far too much and, as always, she was a real laugh. She doesn't have any pets because she feels it wouldn't be fair on them 'when she's gone' - which is quite depressing too. So she's back to ours in two weeks and we're gonna have her round to mine at some time, if she can cope with our cooking LOL dunno if elderly people eat pizza so we'll have to expand our menu options
On here I seem to be in a rating war with a Heretic hehehe he's got a three line profile which is basically an advert for a blood donor - so I rated him a 1, not fair on the the people who put a lot of effort into their profiles to rate that anything else. He clearly doesn't understand the weighted rating thingie but it is fun rating him a ten and then a one just to see his score drop

Man, I hope when I am old I have people who want to visit me too. Then again, I don't like visitors now. lol
So today's lab work brushed close to my distrust of Quorn. We are extracting a mycotoxin, Zearalenone, from F.graminearum. Lots of precautions, hoods and handwashing later we have >2ml of stuff that glows in UV light, quite funky, but its destined for the autoclave - I might try a UV lamp on Quorn, just in case .....
We had an elderly lady, Elizabeth, join us for Christmas Dinner, its a 'spare chair' thing. Usually she would spend chrimbo alone. We were the first people she had spoken to for nearly a week. I gotta admit I was dreading some smelly old grouch but she was a delight and had us all laughing - she also brought chocolates :) I kept calling her ma'am but she insisted on Elizabeth ... :/
We were all a mite embarrassed about how we would start the meal all going but Elizabeth is now a real family friend and we are all going to over hers for Sunday lunch in two weeks, I bet she will be working on that right now - I think my mistake was confusing lonely with incapable.
I'm not even going to speak about her daughter who only lives a couple of roads over from us; Elizabeth was making so many excuses for that uncaring leech and we politely believed them.
For those of you who know of classic literature - think of Brian asking Stewie to say 'Cool whip' was like teaching Elizabeth to say my name, she could say the first part and the last part but not both together - laugh, it was hilarious ...

Awesome entry :) And I don't think it'll ever be able to refer to Christmas as any other thing than "Chrimbo"' from here on out.
