... Well, I was going to post about the Hub

[laligin]

But the plumbers have come in. They arrived about ten minutes before I could make it to the kitchen to wash up, so I have no plates at the moment, since they've ripped out all the plumbing.

And by ripped out...

I rather mean:




Um. Yeah. This is in an effort to find the source of the smell the others keep complaining about, which, okay, has been pretty dreadful four or five times since we moved in. But it's not worth this...



The plumbing and cupboard underneath the sink are gone (note the pipe dripping onto the bared floor now... let's cause some damp instead of removing it, hey guys?), the cupboards and drawers with some of our crockery and cutlery (mine! All of it!) have been removed...



...the oven has been taken out...



Oh look, I found my plates! Getting to them is impossible...



And at the moment the men in question have rather literally downed tools and disappeared.

They've been gone quite a while now. And they vanished well before 12 so I'm not sure if they're on lunch or what...

Meep.

Oh goodness gracious, that's quite the mess! I'm sorry!

[laligin.livejournal.com]

I wasn't expecting them to remove the oven and cupboards! *wail*

[shirafuzzy.livejournal.com]

I know! I'm sorry.

Maybe borrow a friend's sink? Like shadowbyrds?

[laligin.livejournal.com]

^_^' Our en-suite sinks are far too tiny to wash the dishes in... And we share the same kitchen sink, so we're a bit stuck there.

[shirafuzzy.livejournal.com]

Go out and get a small fish&chips for dinner? Or some busicuts! They're good for you...

[laligin.livejournal.com]

It seems to be safe now... I'll try the oven. (:

...

however tempting fish and chips is.

[pinkfairy727.livejournal.com]

Bloody hell! That's a lot of mess *hugs*

[laligin.livejournal.com]

It's marginally worse than the state the place was in when I got back from London/Northampton... ^_^'

[dthetadt.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. o_O Hope you weren't using any of--oh. You were? Oops.

*hug* that's quite a mess you've got there.

[laligin.livejournal.com]

^_^' We fled the flat to go see Watchmen, and it's pretty much been put back together again now. There's definitely been some stuff replaced under the sink, and I don't know if they actually did anything about the big puddle they caused before they put the cupboards back in, but hey.... ^_^'

(Yayhug! *hugs back*)

[dthetadt.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I've gotta get my act together and go see that ... was it good? Well, if the puddle was big enough you'll find out sooner or later. If tiny little lifeforms evolve and start building their own civilization under there you can pretty much guess. Xp

(^_______^)

Aww, don't get rid of it, it was a good one!

[laligin.livejournal.com]

It was quite good. Very interesting. Very pretty at points. Very not pretty at others. I have a tendency to giggle at excessive blood spatter... And sometimes I was torn between laughter and hiding. ^_^'

If tiny lifeforms evolve I shall put them in a jamjar and keep them safe! And upgrade them to a fishtank when they reach the confines of their glass walls. And I shall endeavour to communicate with them, since my handwriting can be ridiculously tiny and I'm sure we can work out some form of language between us. It will be the beginning of a beautiful, harmonious relationship. (:

(^_____________^ Heee)

I don't even think of the flat like that! Is just talking to you I instantly slip back to being at the weekend. ^_^' (:

[dthetadt.livejournal.com]

Sounds like my kind of movie-- the laughing/hiding line is a good one to be stuck on. (Not QUITE as much fun as the Barrowman line but you can't win 'em all) I've heard pretty mixed opinions on it but I guess I'll won't know for sure until I see it. Hmm. That's something to do for next weekend.

That's assuming they don't get greedy, decide to overthrow you and take over. They could be... eeeeevil! *spooky hand motions*

(>wwwwO Bwaaaaaah)

I DO XD obviously we're just meant to exist in our own tinsy tiny DW/TW pocket of reality. I'm sure there's technobabbley way to explain it. ^__~

[laligin.livejournal.com]

(: I think it's worth seeing, at least. And it has some wonderful moments. Shall say no more for fear of spoilers... ;)

*looks fearful* They could turn on me! You're right. I should take precautions. Keep bleach handy at all times... (Though, you know, if there's somethin' strange in my neighbourhood, I can always call RANDY!)

Yay for pocket realities! I can be packed and ready to move in within 24 hours. It's all so much more fun in there anyway... Though I'll need to work on suitable technobabble. XD

[dthetadt.livejournal.com]

Alllright, then I definitely have something to see next weekend. THEN I'll come back all hyper and talk at you about it... I mean... XD

May I suggest a fly swatter? *ebul* (Oh, come on, why call them? I mean you'd only end up with Rhys and Andy breaking down your door and-- hold on. Gotta go release a few dozen nasty little alien critters into my kitchen and call RANDY XD Need to put those dudes on speed dial. <<)

I dunno, it's a bit small to actually move into... I like to keep my pocket reality in my closet...and a spare in my pocket just in case. Usually only get to whip it out and play around in it at cons *saaad*

[laligin.livejournal.com]

XD Bring it on. Friend of a friend did the same at the party thing last night. She paused to say, "Have you seen Watchmen?" waited for us to nod, then EXPLODED WITH SQUEE. It was quite stunning. ^_^'

(I'd just want to see them try and deal with the teeny tiny alien threat. For some reason I'm seeing lots of pratfalls and ineffectual running around... Though speed dial is a good plan. Ready in any situation!)

[(Anonymous)]

Heh, I inflicted that on just about everyone I know when I first saw Torchwood... even if the nod never came. <<

(AND an epic chase scene with lots of sight-gags, Yup, gotta put them right under Torchwood... because who DOESN'T want to call at one in the morning and ask Ianto if the fridge is running. >D )

[laligin.livejournal.com]

Hee. ^_^' I was lucky there. Watched it with a friend (shadowbyrd) so I had someone to squee at from the start. But the power of squee can be pretty effective in converting new watchers, so is always good! (:

(Yes please! I want that chase now. ... Though I also now have a mental image of Ianto going to check on the fridge, and nodding to himself when he sees the chains are all still in place, and its little legs may be scrabbling at the floor but it ain't goin' nowhere... ^_^' Aheh.)

[laligin.livejournal.com]

Argh, comment failure. How dare it hack off my third paragraph?

*pats pockets* Loose change, random pieces of paper, student card... I seem to have misplaced mine. Oh, and I suppose them being smaller does make them more portable, though con-only fun is rather restricted. We need more opportunities for random universe-hopping!

[dthetadt.livejournal.com]

I see your fail and raise you one login!fail above. ^_^

Meeh, I'm sure we can share... though mine might have some cookie crumbs and jellybabies stuck on. ^^'' Hmm, true, all the more reason to try to 'help' the fun!verse bleed out into rl more. I'm sooo there *as long as we don't break anything <<* love the hopping.

[laligin.livejournal.com]

^_^' For some reason I'm failing a lot in comments at the moment. I think for some reason I'm too eager to hit reply. :P

(: Sharing is fun. Always more fun exploring if you have someone with you to point and squee at new stuff. (Also, yay jellybabies. I'm getting quite fond of them. ^_^)

All that hopping... (*does best not to fall onto nearby china*)

[cowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Ack! What a mess! I hope at least they find the source of the bad smell.

[laligin.livejournal.com]

I hope they have too, otherwise it's a bit of a waste... ^_^' Still, if this lot try to charge us for anything in the kitchen, we can now just point at the workmen...

[blackbird-song.livejournal.com]

Great heavens! Will they put it all back when they're finished? Without breaking any of your crockery? Or your oven?

*hugs*

Best of luck with all of this! It's too bad they couldn't have done this whilst you were at something pleasant, like a Torchwood convention.

It's all back in place, and as far as I can tell it's working... I'm actually quite glad I didn't get to wash up, now, since it meant most of my plates etc weren't in the cupboard when they hauled it out and moved it across the kitchen... ^_^'

[mrs-cj-harkness.livejournal.com]

:O oh my.

[tripartite.livejournal.com]

Uh, wtf happened? O.o

I'm looking forward to your post about The Hub. :)

Don't worry, they won't leave their tools. They probably needed supplies/parts and grabbed lunch while they were out.

[laligin.livejournal.com]

I think that may be what they were up to. I think we saw one of them at the reception desk on our way out to see Watchmen. It's entirely possible they were after parts.

[cazmalfoy.livejournal.com]

'king hell!

[et-muse.livejournal.com]

That's...erm... quite some mess...

[laligin.livejournal.com]

XD Just a tad.

[angelzbabe1989.livejournal.com]

Wow. Thats one hell of a mess!

And I was mildly put out when I returned to find that my landlord had randomly chosen that day to repaint the kitchen and thus everything was moved about and the place stunk of fumes.At least I could still USE it.

*huggles*

[laligin.livejournal.com]

Our flatmates complained about the walls last semester and got them to paint the place too... By the time we leave it'll be the most perfect student flat in the building... ^_^'

[rosy-dawn.livejournal.com]

eep. I hope they put it all back ok!

[laligin.livejournal.com]

They seem to have done. If the oven blows up we'll know who to blame. *nodnod*
