Hi everyone
Ok it is 2009 and I am 70steen who has been landlocked in the last century in the 70s and subsequently the 80s.
Don’t let anyone say I am not up to the minute, despite my rambles last century [blimry I have striddena century!!] because next month we see a magical date…. 09/09/09. Even those across the pond can’t confuse me that day with the swapping around of month and days. … why do you do that??
In celebration of this lack of confusion I thought it would be fun to launch an experiment (yes I am that geek and I love experiments) …… how’s about all us FMBer’s take a photo or describe what we were doing at 09.00am on 09/09/09 on our blogs and link it back here to Fuel My Blog…. we will be part of history in the making.. it is an chance not to be missed…. come on you know you want to!!
The best post will get to choose a t-shirt from Uncle Iffy virtual t-shirt store!
I will send a reminder nearer the day 
So if I understand this…
DP was wearing a box but still managed to take such specific notes regarding Sylvie’s derriere… and yet he cannot remember how when or why he’s supposed to send me a second flip flop?
I have to ask… is he perhaps wearing a box slightly too small for his head?
{{And Sylvie, I have no doubt that your derriere is (and your teeth are) quite perfect. Something about you just makes a person know that.
}}
@ John – It’s all quite ok now… you’re just spending far too much time around DP. He tends to have that effect on folks. The trick is to wear those teeny little earphones and listen to one of those meditation things that are so easy to find online these days…. works wonders. All one has to do is smile and make sure to bend over and pick up a paper or two every now and then and he never figures it out.
Well… in your case he might. Do you look ok in a short skirt?
As long as you handle coordinating the color of lacquered nails. So hate the smell of cheap polish in the early morning rain.
Macaroon? *holds out the tray*
Ok so far … we have Karen and Natalie who are in & up for it (in the nicest sense of the expression!)…
Damien who has a group of small people that he is getting into groups of 9… good luck!!
DP who will be wearing a box and a mini skirt whilst standing on his head!…(thank goodnesses for boxes!)
Bill who is tippexing his diary frantically …to deflect from his addiction to ‘Flog it’and other day time TV stuff
Sylvie who is painting her toenails…and sassing her derrière at Waterloo Station
JC whois spreading rumours…whilst blowing dry Sylvie’s toenails dry…
Dear Frac who is having JC’s blog child or is it me or was it Homer ??
oh & there are macaroons for everyone …..
Have I got the gist of it?? or will 09/09/09 reveal further mysteries????
An excellent summation …… same ol’ same ol’ – tee hee
situation normal .. all is well then lol
Hey I am in too!
@ 70steen – I think it must be Homer. I know I have more children than I can keep up with already!
I haven’t decided what to do for the 09:09 on 09/09/09 yet, but I shall scheme up something!
I’m in too, did try a couple of links….*sulking in corner*
I’m going to working at 09/09/09 09:00
That sucks! Then again maybe I can take an interesting photo of me standing on one leg next to the photocopier or something lol. Maybe I need to get my Aunt (aka as Accounts lady) in on it.
(Then again maybe in some freak incident I will be offered my dream job and it will just happen to be that my interview is at 09/09/09 09:00 – That would be gggggguuuuddddd!
Kevin, Gitwizard & Hannah glad you guys are in … I will post a reminder before the day .. Hannah I too am in work which doesn’t make for too an interesting post but hey maybe we could extend this to everyone standing on one leg where ever they are at 09:00hrs on 09/09/09… I doubt anyone would acknowledge this or raise an eyebrow as my stance waiting for the 09:05 train lol
I posted this on my blog
