PGP: You Can Play On Our Rooftops Anytime, U2

[jeevey]

Probably in the 45 minute range. If you poke the middle gently it should have a slightly springy feel, not a liquid slosh under the dry top layer. I don't remember if a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or not, but it should def not come out with a milky glaze.

Might as well have one here so we can post pics as they come in.

And yeah, I might wander to the movies/tv thread as well. And I should be online if we decide to do a chat elsewhere, since the only reason we're even watching is for U2.

The Beavis in me just went, "she said 'milky glaze'!"

[jeevey]

Cookery is full of these. Poke it gently to see if it has a slightly springy feel? Girl, please.

She said poke.

 

My mind LIVES in the gutter. It's very happy there.

Thanks, jeevey!

I love watching the Oscars. Would watch with or without U2*. I'm a sucker for that kind of thing, what can I say?














*I'm here all week ... try the lamb! Tip your server!

jeevy

I'll be dropping in here ( long as I have a net connection )
but no extra chat for me

oh some years I watch if at least one of my Fav movie(s) is up for something. And I alway love looking at the gowns and jewelry - Red Carpet time!

[jeevey]

Broadcast starts 8:30 EST. I'm often doing bedtime stories at that time but I'll start a pleba thread beforehand. If anyone wants a g chat I'm jeeveyjakes@gmail.com, and I can keep adding people to the same thread, I think. Was not Bono's lunch interview yesterday the cutest thing he's done in a long time?

RE Comet's post in the Misc. thread:




Mm, does anybody else recognize these hands?

 

A certain writer really, really did her research. I had no idea.

[Galeongirl]

Not sure, but they look rather... edgey to me.

what went wrong-o?!?

Theres this place called Tongariro National park. Its beautifil there. We did a hike called the Tongariro Crossing which is a full day hike across a volcano. 14k ish.
We saw and did 2/3rd of the crossing untill my friend slipped while descending from the big craters.

She fell and broke her wrist by landing it on a big ass rock. If youve seen harry potter after his quidditch match in the chamber of secrets movie.
Youd know how her hand was looking after that. S shaped really.

We still had 5 k to do . But moving ..let alone decsending from a mountain wouldnt be very wise. So we had to call for help. It was easy to see it was badly broken.
Ofcourse we were in the middle of fucking nowhere. Apart fro other hikers theres nothing in the area but tiny villages... a helicopter had to pick her up.

So she wanted me to go with her . Which i did obviously. I was so glad I packed painkillere and a bandana which I used to make a makeshift sling. . In the meanwhile 2 lovely hikers kept us company and helped to call the medics.
One was from Dublin ironicaly. And one from Hamilton NZ.

The heli arrived after 20-30 minutes ish. Which was bloody quick for how far we where.
Ofcourse it took ages for my poor friend. But she was super though and sucked it up so well.

Now this is where the real adventure starts. Where in that helicopter and after filling in all the paperwork (twice, due to adrenaline rush I filled it in wrong the first time)
I'm starting to realise that our money, passports , car... are all south.
And the helicopter was taking us up north. Very faaaaaaar north. Up to Rotorua.


I enjoyed the scenery and all but I realised we wouldnt get a helicopter ride back.
So there we where a couple of hours later .. I think 7-8 o clock in the evening. My friends bones where pulled into the right position by 3 nurses. The hospital staff where amazing.
True professionals. I have so much respect for them and my buddy for just going ahead with it. And getting the job done so quickly.

I called the hostel we previously stayed at in Rotorua. Explained the situation. And they still had our credit card information. So I would be able to actually pay them.
Even thouh we didnt have anything one us. But he basically told us to feck off.
Some hostel owners are absolute scum on earth. This was one of them.

So I tried several others but no luck. The nurses and security staff where so sorry for us,
They hooked us up with ; food for at least 2 days, a room w bathroom n kitchen. Right next to the hospital. Now if youve ever been in a nasty position like this.you know : That kind of stuff makes you wanna cry. They couldve just ditched us on the street affer helping us out the first time but they helped us out for a second time with a place to sleep and food.

Then the next day , after getting some rest and plenty of painkillers. they even helped us out a 3rd time by hooking us up with a ride back south. (8 hr drive to where our stuff was. ) We got a ride in an ambulance , which had to be transported to Taupo. Which is halfway down on our route.omg ... Angels I tell you.

From there we had to hitchhike further south. About 3 more hlurs driving.
We got there with the help of 2 rides. At about 4 o clock in the afternoon.
Nothing feels better than arriving at the place where you should be.
I think we ate and fell asleep istantly.


Next problem : stuck with a rental car and a driver with a broken wrist.
I dont drive yet so I wasnt able to drive us back to Taupo.
We just figured out that we where too tired to worry about it and maybe ask the hostel owner to help us out (looking forward to it already..)

Then just when we where about to get to sleep again this guy came up to us.
And said he heard about us and he needed to go to taupo. He had a drivers licence and was even offering us money for getting a ride.

I told bim be got the job and that we would be paying him instead.
Anyway he ditched us off in taupo and even delivered our rental car back to where it had to be dropped.
Again .. Everyone not owning a hostel is so friendly and awesome here..I love this place so much.

We are now continuing our journey by bus. And actually where back in Auckland right now.
Got to see a rugby match, had dinner with one of the people who helped us in Hamilton.
Gave him a token of thanks in return.

Bought last minute 3rd row bruce springsteen seats. Enjoyed a nice gig as a closer of our journey. Trying to go to one tree hill today as its the last thing on my to do list . And then its time for a shitty air china flight.huzzah.

Sorry for the typoz.

Yep, those knuckles are unmistakable, not to mention the pinstriped trousers. For a while now chork and I have had an ongoing game called Unintentional Plot Bunny of the Day. Now I think I have to add a feature called Fic Reference of the Day.

Look at jeeves spilling our secrets for all and sundry!

Also, jeeves, I'd like to hereby publicly declare that you were right about the Cumbersnatch. Damn. Shazam!

Oh i am in the running for typoz queen so...... no prob!

Woah what set of scenarios!!!

wow your poor friend! The wirst is such a little puzzle part of bones! Tell her as long as she does exercises at least 90 - 95+% of the time she'll recover very well( have had 2 serious injuries needed rehab/exercise) Oh, man, slipping/falling down a crater! thank goodness for the painkillers and bandana!

Yeah that heli sounded like it made very good time. Yay for kindness of the nurses and security people! and to the scummy hostel owner!
you & friend north with everythinmg else south
thank goodness for the abulance heading south, some kind drivers for ride-hitching!

Ha glad you got some rugby in , and a Bruce/E St concert woot! 3rd row
Good on you for treating one of your helpers todin.

When you are all settled back in. Looking foward to seeing some gorgeous scenery photos.

I think I have a vauge idea about that volcano park. I was looking at NZ map some years back. Am fascinated/ (and respectful) of volcanoes from a young age.
