OOOOOOooooohhh, quiet tonight, isn't it?
Well, Friday night. All the students cutting loose after first school week. All the parents ditto, maybe.
Anybody out there?
If there isn't, going to have to start telling jokes - my painful duty, but I will, I will ... you have been warned! |

I don't think I'd be suitable to working with big cats though, I'd love to work with sea lions, but im terrified of water so thats a no go ...
Maybe I'll settle for a kennel and cattery haha!
LOL - you'd still be s**t-shovelling! (But ain't that always the way with animals??) |

I once met a woman who'd worked in a zoo. She was in charge of the leopards. Or, more specifically, mucking out the leopards. I kid you not.
What must that have been like? Massive cat litter tray???
(Don't tell me, you'd have done it too just for the chance to work in a zoo. Me too, me too ...)
Scarlett, how's Tinks getting on? |

Working in a zoo is such an amazing job (I imagine) yet so disappointing, besides needing qualification it doesnt pay particularly well, less than both of my parents earn and my mum is a department manager for asda and my dad is a telecommunications engineer for BT. Its a real shame cause it would be so exciting and so extremely rewarding. Ahh well.

I would LOVE to work in a zoo. Yet you still need some sort of qualification to do so, and I don't have a decent enough job to be able to afford to go to College, and really am not keen on the idea of being in debt before I can get a job financially stable enough by going to uni. UGH! lol.
Vicious circles are the worst. |

Aww bless ... just buy 2 halves then!
Hey, if you ever have to do what I did when breeding cats, like assisting a difficult breech birth in a hurry, it would be an advantage to have small hands! Can't believe I did it now, but there was no time to go to the (fairly distant)vet. Sounds like you're in the right profession. |

Oh I wish a man would marry me and buy me some goats or something.
White sofas?...NO PETS...?! D: Sounds like my step dad.
Hey, you got it - it was your mum's dream. My mother's too - classic syndrome eh? Uh... of my experience of men marrying, they won't buy you goats, they will expect you to get a typing job, cook, clean, mother, drink halves quietly with the wives while they are drinking pints with the lads, and STILL be lively at the end of the evening after serving tea and sandwiches and waiting up for spouse to decide to retire ...
Grr grr, don't get me started ... well, he is a sweet guy. Just a man ... |

Hey Tiffany, great about house!
Hey, Rachie - that's awful! Censored tories! Hope you do manage to get on a course. When I was 18 I had to ask my parents for finance ... no go - it wasn't 'posh' enough grrr. However I got my own back by marrying young, having my own house and menagerie and being my own veterinary nurse ... Looking back on it I could have cut out the marrying bit, but he's a nice guy and though separated we're still mates. He's got a new partner (she's nice) and they live in a house full of white sofas and no pets ... wonder why?? |

Hey, Rachie, I was flitting about the forums, or rather this laptop, which seems to respond to body heat and sign language, put me on to health forum, and you said in a thread you'd been working in a vet's for the summer - that sounds amazing - what I wanted to train for but parents didn't approve ...
Yeeah, it was voluntary work , unfortunately they could only fit me in for a week :\
I did have a fabulous time, I'm thinking of doing vet nursing you see , hence the reason im doing another 2 years at college for animal management. BUT I think the B@1T$@$D Tories have taken away the oppurtunity to do vet nursing without going to uni ¬_¬
If that's the case, I won't be doing vet nursing. Hopefully I'll get an animal technician job in a zoo ^.^!! |

Hi, Tiffany - I used to live in a house like that - it's horrible feeling weird when you're on your own ... never mind, I might tell you a joke ...
Hi, kd - sounds like a complete balls-up! (Pun intended!) I know nothing about football but my commiserations ... I guess group dynamics operate everywhere ... drat them!!

I'v got a joke for you. It's called the referee who reffed my sons football match tonight. How he even got his qualifications is beyond me. OK so we lost 8-1 but 3 of those goals would have been disallowed if the ref hadn't been so flamin biased. and the opponants goal keeper should have been sent off in the first half for handling the ball outside the area (smug little git needs bringin down a peg or 2).
At least we can take comfort from the fact that despite the ref being biased, the goalkeeper being a cheating git and the rest of the team playing dirtier than snake poop, we played better than last year where the team lost 21-0 and 15-0 (my son didnt play for them last season).
OK that's my stress-head moment of the week. Tell us some jokes BATS |

I'm too lazy (and had a few beers) to write much tonight! You will get more sense out of me tomorrow - honest!
Yeah, LOL don't you just love it when it comes on all bigeyed and apprehensive - and then zaps the big one that looks all world-weary and conceited??? Never get tired of watching that! Another good one is 'Animal attacks Dudley Moore' - think that's the title ... |
