Evening team!

Moving to the area as i have a job in Newhaven, and have been told that it is near Brighton so i thought i'd come and say hi!

Is it any good like?

By the Sea, innit?!

I can't see the word Newhaven without my mind inserting the letters lys in the middle, turning it into Newlyshaven.

Hello, and welcome. Where are you moving from? Are you going to live in Newhaven? Married? Single? Gay? Necrophiliac? Children? (I mean do you have any, not do you want to fuck them).

I'm 6.5", which means I am tall too Having said that, neither of us are called Chris, so he's perfectly entitled to call himself 'Tallchris'. It's not like he called himself 'Tall Underscore' is it?

Fuck sake.

Welcome to nearly Brighton Chris. I'm afraid Newhaven is neither new, nor a haven of any kind. It is ruddy well rank.

Thumbs down

He's prolly at work on the big boat that goes from Newhaven to the French Frances and back every day. He won't get home till about 11 tonight and after he takes his apron and hat off he will doubtless log on and read all the messages from his new chums.

Arf!

Although I disagree, I reckon he plays the keyboard in the Bar of the Ferry, probably called something like 'The Normandy Lounge' - Where he regales day trippers with Synth versions of such hits as 'Do you know the way to San Jose' 'Living on a prayer' and 'La Bamba'

"Ok everyone, grab a glass of Captain's Cocktail, as Chris will be playing Rod Stewart's classic We Are Sailing", followed by all the hits from Bryan Ferry and Katrina and The Waves, finishing up with "Rock The Boat"

Evening team!

As it happens i have been to sunny birmingham to see a Steve McCurry Retrospective, as i am a right classy fucker.

I'm a chap, 35, straight, no kids, (I don't have any, nor do i want to fuck them, although i wouldnt turn down a midget/dwarf) and am not a musician in any way, except for tinkering on my old guitar....

Am moving from Shrewsbury and work as an electrician on a new something-or-other at newhaven. Something to do with recycling i think. Not sure where i'll be staying yet- the bossman will be sorting all that out but i reckon it'll be a cosy flat somewhere.... Groovy!

Is newhaven really that rank? whats up with it....?

Tallestchris.... (Paltry 6'2'')

To be honest, i didn't give much consideration to conducting a height questionnaire so as not to offend, but now i know how touchy you all are in Brighton about such things.

Now this is exactly the sort of feedback i need to slot right in.

Rule Number One.... No fanciful claims about my height. (If i should start a bar fight somewhere, i would hope it is over a subject with much more gravitas)

Is it too late to change my screen name?

Am considering.... Slightlytallerthanaveragechrisbutthatsnottosneeratyourheightwhateveritmaybeeithertallerorshorteryourheightisfineireallydontwanttofalloutaboutit.

rule number two: stick resolutely to your statements, no matter how incorrect and ludicrous they are; any back pedalling is a sign of weakness and will be punished by the dark destroyer...and you don't want to meet kat down a dark alley..

Large new building projects always attract objections from the nimbys....

I worked on a specialist cancer unit a couple of years ago in the grounds of a hospital and the locals were up in arms about it.

shameless bastards.

Yeah, but you were building a unit that gives cancer to kids. You sick bastard.

Anyway, incinerators are a good thing* and anyone who says otherwise is scientifically illiterate and lacks common sense.


So... welcome to Newhaven!

*sniggers*


Don't worry, it's easy to get to Brighton if you want to meet people without webbed toes.




* provided they're not run but evil money-grabbing bastards who'd fumigate the surroundings in toxic gas to save a tenner. Oh...

I know sir!

To be honest, i know NOTHING about this project whatsoever- nor do i care that much, but anybody who thinks that a landfill alternative on the site of an old abbatoir is a worth complaining about really needs to get a hobby of some sort. Photography perhaps, or maybe watercolour painting...

I read in that link that some people were too late to lodge their complaints but were told that "we will still receive objections after that date" (And laugh as we wipe our arses with them!)

happy days! Can't wait.....

I rock up August the 8th

Mmm, dwarfsex.

I'm very disappointed you're not a piano player on Transmanche Ferries, but hey ho, I have a bathroom light that needs fitting, so perhaps we can both harmonise to Jane McDonald's 'Cruisealongachristmas'
whilst you re-wire for me?

No?

Ok.

My fault....

I should have mentioned straight away that i wasnt a piano player on Transmanche Ferries... obviously that is the natural assumption that anybody would make for anybody moving to the area.

I do apologise for the confusion my sheer stupidity has caused and for the disappoint to you all

(Not making a very good impression am i?!)

I feel really stupid now....

If you get bored really easily why not look for ladies to court rather than get a part-time job?

Most men in their spare time court ladies and fuck them and watch football on the telly whilst sipping lager etc.

Do you not do the same?

I would recommend trying that before taking on more work because of getting bored.
