Not much going on here.....I just wanted this thread up

Wassup in your neck of the woods people?

[Schumacat]

Not much going on here either.
I shifted to a new desk in my office after spending the last 3 years at the same desk. Feels a bit weird and has a lot less privacy than before.

I was at work otherwise I may have bumped into him...

It's not just shoppers flocking to Cardiff.

Hollywood movie star Nicolas Cage was yesterday spotted quietly sipping coffee in a cafe on the waterfront of weather-battered Cardiff Bay.

Cage refused to disclose why he was in the Welsh capital, but dismissed speculation that he is to appear in Dr Who.

Smiling Cage, who has reportedly blown millions of pounds on fancy cars and homes, said: “I’m here for a private business meeting. I like Dr Who, but it’s not what I’m here for.”

The Oscar-winning star of FaceOff, Gone in 60 Seconds and Ghost Rider was treated to a cup of coffee in Coffemania.

Waiter Dariusz Zagula, 25, said: “I recognised him instantly. He is one of my favourite actors.

“I asked him for his autograph, but I was scared to ask for a photo – he looked really miserable.

“But let’s face it, November storms in Wales are not quite the same as Californian sunshine.”

What's happening with that Mega Huge Iceberg floating to your way?

As you local guy can you fill me in a bit.

New Zealand has joined the space race with a rocket.

Appropriately it was launched by three semi-crazy guys from a sheep paddock. I will post a video soon.

Maybe fisher men chopped it up to keep their catch fresh,
or fancy restaurant has served it in their drink's .

They lost it and cant find it.

It probably melted completely?

The last time an iceberg came to our waters, they took New Zealands most famous sheep (named Shrek who had escaped and not been shorn for years), and the sheared the wool off out on the iceberg. Its a New Zealand kind of thing to do. I wonder what they will do this time.

You can take charter flights out to see it (or will be able to when they find it).

Are you real?
You share famous cheep's on a floating Icebergs?
So they fly with helicopter cheep and shearer to icebeg, and share it there.
Never heard of it, but I believe so, you never lie Russ.

That is a never ending mission

Vodafone was a con! When I got there they explained that this was my 90 day renewal offer but if I wanted a Bold I would have to contribute £150. However if I wait until my 50 day renewal offer I can have it for free!

Well I thought long and hard about there offer and walked out of the store. Still I have a nice Christmas present to look forward to, except that 20 days from yesterday is Christmas Day and the store is closed
