Is it normal for a dog to like porridge this much?

Finally things seem to be moving. The jobcentre are giving me over £900 after cocking things up. There are more jobs to apply for, and I am finally getting some interviews ^_

Bristol's not a very pretty city, but it is pretty interesting and vibrant (in the right places). The zoo's up in Clifton which is considerably better looking than most parts.
Apparently the city has a greater proportion of parks and green space than any comparable city in the country, but you wouldn't know it from wandering about. I think maybe you have to know where to look, or perhaps it's some of the large parks and allotments that make up the numbers.

There's a job going in my department at work - working with me! But unfortunately I think it'd be really unsuitable for you. Otherwise I could make £250 by referring you. £250!

lol, I know Im evil to Bristol sometimes, but it is my second fav city and there are lovely parts to it. Unfortunately I ended up in black and white world yesterday. Compared to Manchester and Birmingham its heaven ^_^

You mean unfortinately Im far too stupid for intelligent jobs? lol. If I worked with you it would be like an episode of Pinky and the Brain.

[tiredstars]

Well, there is that stupidity aspect

I think those are the same recruiting standards for the cleaning jobs Ive been applying to and Ive failed to meet their rigid expectations.

I did pretend I was in an art installation piece, but then we came across a magic flesh vibrating vagina near the river and my laughing spoiled the art a bit.

Those are the oat cookies I fed you.

Are they still holistic if you feed them to a person rather than a dog?

[_takora_]

Their holistic powers turn who ever eats them into a dog, very slowly. They just make dogs extra doggy.

[tiredstars]

Is it going to be like Woof?

You had better check to see if you can look up.

[tiredstars]

Of course I can look up; I can use wikipedia.

Lon didn't quite capture the full horrifying squalor of the area surrounding the dog warden building. It was in Feeder Road, along the side of Temple Meads

[tiredstars]

You would probably have been pissing on a rat, chewing on a discarded shoe, if the discarded shoes weren't made of toxic tyre rubber and dirt.

That part of bristol is the worst I've been to; from that deserted tower block next to temple meads to west along the river, the waste ground bleeds into run down warehouses, dual carriageway and flyover bridges. To the south you have Totterdown, of treeless terraces. I wouldn't want to walk through there again if possible.
Though if you make it through either way you can get to the wooded Arnos Vale or Victoria Park and Windmill Hill city farm. And there is some nice run-down urban scenery, if you like that sort of thing. Amy and I walked along by the river, trying to figure out the metal rings and attachments on an abandoned building, and watching a cormorant (ineptly) try to swallow an eel.

[dissident_hope]

Maybe the cormorant was having trouble because the eel was also trying to swallow the bird.

It's the circle,
the circle of life.

LOL, I'm just imagining a remake of The Lion King, set in Bristol....

You'd have to have urban foxes instead of lions. Rats would play the hyenas maybe. Rafiki could be a wise old stray dog. Zazu would be a seagull.

Incidently, have you watched that new programme with the werewolf, ghost & vampire living together in Bristol, on BBC Three? No, neither have I.
