In the Roman Empire as well as in the Middle East and Germany, lead compounds were used to dye hair black,

Professor Richard Evershed from Bristol University said: 'White face paint was fashionable in Roman times and normally derived its colour from a lead compound. A tin compound would have been an acceptable substitute and in good supply from Cornwall.

Hey TDC what are the odds that the first proper rain in Sydney falls on a long weekend [img]tongue.gif[/img] If they want to cure the drought we have down here they need to make more long weekends [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I signed up for this bank service that takes care of your bill and specificly asked then to take care of the phonebill... but somehow there was some mixup... and they didn't do it.

I also wonder about the size of the phone bills... they must be overcharging me...

I got in 45 minutes after I was supposed to last night...ooops.

I walked my girlfriend home at around twenty past nine as she had to be in for half past, so she was home on time, but then I went inside for a bit, and by the time I knew it it was 20 to 11 and I was running home.

It's weird, my parents didn't say anything. I apologised but they just said "ok".

Going on Work Experience next week so I have to go buy "smart" clothes today. Working at a college with my mate and his mum, should be ok, beats going to school.

Tell me about it. You can almost predict that it will rain every long weekend and easter.

Afternoon, all. The *&^% yard service hasn't come, and Galadria is having a cow, as am I. How is everybody?

Sir Goulum · 06-11-2005, 07:19 PM

Not bad, Attalus. Just got back from a game o' tennis... I was absolute crap today.

Firestormalpha · 06-12-2005, 04:03 PM

Hmmm.... well, I was going to post something about my current life situation but in light of my previous posts, it would seem I am on a whine fest of some sort. SO, I'll skip that. Suffice it to say I'm being a grumpy spoiled little brat right now.

On the bright side of things Batman Begins is out in three days. Looks good, but should I shell out $12+ to see it? Hmmm.... maybe, but I'll have to find someone to see it with.

Anyways, the rain down here has recessed, but for how long we do not know. This is Florida after all.

Well, I'm either going insane, or I'm just extremely drained of energy.... I guess I'll have to take a nap and find out which it is.

First shift at movie theatre... scooping popcorn isn't as hard as I thought it was! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ilander · 06-12-2005, 10:27 PM

haha...summer jobs only get worse as they go on!

FSA, don't worry 'bout the whinin'. Nobody complains when I do it!

I'm playing my DS, IMing people, and dreading going back to work tomorrow, right now. Hopefully Central Insulation got that junk out of there

Oh, um...Galadria is having a cow, Attalus? We have 60 or so, it's not so big of a deal.

Ladyzekke · 06-13-2005, 10:15 AM

Whine away Firestormalpha, we all do it from time to time LOL. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sir Goulum, glad you had a good first shift at the theatre.

Hope they got the asbestos out of there Ilander!

Good news Sir G. Do you work behind the counter all the time or can you sneak off to watch a movie? [img]smile.gif[/img]
