In the words of Mr Greedoniz,

While you're enjoying your pints, spare a thought for us poor wage slaves sweating over a hot manuscript just to keep you lot in magazines.

Tell me about it. I take Saturday off (but sometimes work in the morning) and go to the pub for lunch, followed by a few drinks in a few bars, home with a fish supper and a few DVDs for the evening - even if I end up working all day Sunday and sometimes into early Monday morning. Why are copy deadlines usually Mondays?


OK, you two can stop scaring me now ;)

Nah. It's not work that eats away at your life, it's a fun itch you get paid to scratch!

...Not paid nearly enough, but yeah, I'll agree with that! What other job would find me sitting on the sofa, watching TV, doing crossword puzzles, and getting paid for it?

Yup. I'm sat here watching The Big Bang Theory until Countdown comes on, writing a box out about the first computer worm, playing with a deck of cards and jotting down ideas to develop into pitches. And getting paid and potentially paid for it.

Well stop complaining you don't have time to come out and play on saturdays then :) :) :) :)

Actually I know you've both said you're coming and Tomo you said that you always make sure you enjoy your saturdays.... but still :)

Well, I'm definitely out of this one. I've got two manuscripts that have to be finished in time for posting on Monday, and I've already used up half of today getting my router working properly again, so Saturday's going to be busy.

Have fun, and I'll see you next time.

Am I right in thinking that it's in the Moon Under Water on Deansgate from 12 onwards?

I'll be there about 12:45.

Yep, it was a good day. Lots of fun, names to faces, Calir's sensation CTW, another expulsion from a pub by a jobsworth! Good times.

Darn it, I always seem to miss the being-chucked-out-of-pubs days.

Finished one of the manuscripts by Sunday, anyway. I might finish the other in time to post it this afternoon... sigh.

With apologies to anyone I annoyed last week :)

Will probably bring a camera along next time, so if anyone wants to be filmed (and youtube'd if they want) gimme a shout :) (I can't promise top quality, but it'll certainly be similar quality to what you find on youtube)
