End of work day yesterday

Manager: Why have you spread Lego across your desk?
Me: I want to try and get it home on my bike
Manager: Those are Disney Princess Castle's
Me: Yes; I figure if I don't transport the boxes and put the bags in my backpack I might be able to get it home in one go
Manager: :blink:
Me: Hey, I need it for my collection

I certainly did. It was both informative about the structure of the company and the ideals that it likes to project as well as encompassing the idea of Adult fans like me without focusing too much on the reasons behind our obsession. Are you an Adult Fan Katherine?

We found the program absolutely fascinating.
Not an Adult Fan, but I still think it's the best childrens toy ever invented. I joined in with the kids when they were younger. I like giving lego as presents.
I work in a primary school and each class has a large box of basic pieces for wet playtimes and is always popular. Sometimes the teachers get them to make something as part of their topic.
My son used to see something and come home and make it out of lego. The best was the cranes and containers at a port while we were waiting for a ferry. He used a mixture of basic and lego technik. He's a mechanical engineer now and wrote about his lego construction in his personal statement. And yes, there was a time when he wanted to be a lego designer! He has those big plastic tool chests full of lego, some mixed some organised into compartments. All the instructions are in a box file. We're all waiting for grandchildren to play with them though.

I'm really reminiscing now... My parents still have the lego castle in its box with instructions that we sent off for with weetabix vouchers - it's yellow! - In the 70s! It was always kept separate from the other pieces that were all mixed up.

What about you? Do you have a house full?

First meeting with a consultant that I've been referred to about by on going knee problems.

Consultant: "Right, to understand what we're dealing with, I first want to examine your good knee to see what range and freedom of movement you have and to contrast this with your bad knee”.

There follows 2 minutes of bending, grinding, clicking, during which the Consultant looks increasingly perplexed.

Consultant: “Sorry, I said your good knee first”
Slowwww: “That is my good knee”
Consultant::eek:

Ahh.... The illusive Yellow Castle; that is somewhat a legend in my community. And to answer your question rdflego.tumblr.com I most assuredly do :giggle: Message me if you want to discuss further.

Just walked the dog and met a woman, her young daughter and their terrier, also young and absolutely thrilled to meet a girl dog. There was lots of attempted humping, all of which was met by much hilarity from me, rather more embarrassed laughter from the woman and a classic line from her daughter:

"Don't worry mummy, he's not got his pencil out!"

We carried on chatting and I asked the girl if she wanted to swap dogs as hers was obviously intelligent but mine is a bit stupid. She politely declined the swap but offered up the information that her dog could be silly at times.

"He hangs his tongue out but then can't pick up his balls."

Reverted back to my youth for some unexpected reason, found myself saying...
'What the hells the matter, you divvy git' :ohmy:

The dog didnt answer...

Without warning, he suddenly started skittering across the laminate flooring like someone had grabbed his gonads too tight :ohmy:...a sort of cartoon like whirring of legs but getting nowhere :laugh::wacko:.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I had a house full of grand children.

"Can I have a drink" ". If he has one, can I have one as well?" " if they have a drink, can I have a coke". "Can I have a cup of tea if they are all having one". He had two cakes before and I didn't, so can I have mine now". " I don't like those cakes, can I have something else".

Me looking at Mr WD. "Are you sure were not allowed to tie them to chairs and gag them". Im sure they're parents won't mind".

Guy I used to work with got fed up of his kids arguing about who got most...wahhh, his bits bigger than mine....so he used to give one of them a mars bar, a piece of cake , whatever it happened to be and told him...you cut it in half....your brother then has first choice. See the first one virtually measure it like his life depended on it ..because if he got it wong, his brother inevitably chose the biggest bit :laugh:
