    My natural colour is a-bit-of-this-a-bit-of-that which makes it look dark blond one day and light brown the next.

    Very blond, then electric blue... Okay!

    Think I'll give it a try this weekend. I asked my boss if he would mind a couple of weeks ago and he said "er, nah", so they're gonna have to live with it! Ha! Worst thing that cna happen is that I won't be allowed to do my one-day-a-week of reception. I hate reception. Bring on the blue!

    Toopid question: can you buy that stuff from Boots?

    A bit of girlie talk here... Boots or Superdrug - there are some cool colours around! You're lucky you can 'individualise (?)' yourself at your job! Post of pic when done! With all this talk of hair dye, I think I might just do something this afternoon!

    You look absolutely dreadful... you are sweating buckets... a fever maybe? You are feeling faint... you are going to pass out! My God! You passed out! A kind co-worker has just revived you. Your boss is right now calling a cab to get you home. You will be fit for work again on Monday.

    This thread is addictive. I'm surprised my boss hasn't spotted me on here yet and spanked me - Oooooh matron.
    Anyway, shall we try and get the thread banned before tomorrow by continuing our talk of yesterday about chicken with monkey porn, and naked Bungles??

    Thanks :D

    When I started this job I bought two sets of boring clothes.

    Two-and-a-half years on and I wear my multi-coloured cords. I just stopped caring I think. Not sure that's a good thing! Ah well, most of my contact with the outside world is over the phone and as long as I sound nice, I should be able to wear what I want :)

    Will post pic when blue ;)

    You definitely should!!! I normally do weird things do my hair to shock my clients! I guess I can get away with it being a 'creative' (argghhh hate that term)!

    Oh God yeah, I forgot about that.... Missed the end of it as I went home. Now what page was that on.... Hehehe :)

    EDIT: Ah yes, King Kong vs Big Bird and his sister. A classic. Page 172 ;)

    Here I was being lazy, not wanting to wade through the hundreds of posts I missed during Easter. WHAT DID I MISS????? I'm going to have to waste all my afternoon reading through everything!

    My hair is a reddish brown and whatever colour I put on it, it is a reddish brown (maybe a bit more red or purple or whatever, but still reddish brown!) I bet you your clients expect this from you. Loads of my are 'creatives' and their clients wouldn't expect them to look 'normal' (except this one bloke who is design manager in a large multinational - suit & tie and no earrings for him!)

    Yeah... a lot of them expect it - and require it... they love getting their 'wacky' designers into a meeting. The main problem is that my big clients are big mutli-nationals like Vodafone, Nokia and EMI - sometimes they have a problem with it but I've always got away with it :D
  • yeaaaaaahaa! i just heard 5 minutes ago they did replace my exam from thursdday to next week for me. ergo: Ill be coming to the Astoriaa!!! w00000t i'm going nuts my room is way too small!!

    not just any plane though... make sure it says London above it...
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
  • Yeah, i swear,if i can't find one, ill be swimming the canal this night ;)

    Wouldn't want to end up in Scotland (though I've got nothing against Scotland or the Scots!)

    I wish you the best of luck. Get down as early as you can 'cos as you can imagine, there's gonna be quite a few people there in the same predicament. (Actually, thinking about it, hasn't DaveUK and the other fella got 2 spares?)

    i think he/she means if they can't find a plane.. then they'll go by canal.... i presume he/she have a ticket... but i'm intrigued as to what he/she was going to do with aforementioned ticket, if indeed they had one, and couldnt make the gig??

    I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up as I don't know for sure, but Dave said he'd 2 tickets coming his way which he was gonna sell on for about £125 each. But head to the Royal George early - i.e, 2pm, 3pm or thereabouts - and you may get lucky.

    It's a great place to be BUT NOT TOMORROW!! Actually, after 15+ years in this country, I've never been to Scotland. Always have a tendency to go find some sun for the holidays (or be stuck with 'family' duty during half-terms, etc. with two sets of parents wanting to see their grandchild!). Never been to Ireland either. This year we are definitely planning something "up north" so Scotland here I come (fortunately for the Scotsmen, my husband and daughter will be with me!)

    Ah shit im not getting into london til 3:45, but I would GLADLY buy one for £125, reckon i should just pm him, or does anyone have his contact details? My initial plan was to queue rather than head to the george...

    thanks

  • Yeah i got tickets.. :D To be picked up from the astoria
    I've been begging my teacher till the very last moment.if I was denied today i was to refund the tickets tonight. I guess keeping hopes up till the very last moment is rewarding. I just ordered a bus trip, wich is cheapest. I'll be arriving in london 6 in the morning tomorrow. guess that'll be early enough right? That should be time enough to find that pub, and be in a total delirium before enyone arrives i think.
    : D
