LOL, yes, forgot about that

on a monday?!? *shivers a bit*

Todays listening / purchases (yeah I know what I said F&B, but man can not live on back catalogue alone): Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies (that bloke off The New Pornographers' side project. Top stuff) Taken By Trees - Open Field (that lass that left The Concretes new band. Delicate and beautiful)

No worries Keef, sometimes there's too much vim and not enough spleen. I for one appreciated your comments. Plus I'm prone to extremely acerbic posts on days like today. I'm keeping a lid on it today because I just don't have the energy to be bitter. (actually strictly speaking that's sour, but you get what I'm saying) Any news on the hearing yet?

I spent most of it waiting for delayed Ryanair flights. Remind me never ever ever to save myself 15 quid on a flight ever again by going with Ryanair. Arrival times there on friday and back on monday were 01:25 and 23:45 respectively!! On the plus side I got to see Wexford v Louth and Dublin v Meath at Croke Park yesterday, which was an amazing experience. Though thanks to Ryanair I was so tired I actually nodded off at one point in the noisiest stadium I've ever encountered!

Sixth generation Australian? Is there such a thing, haven't you skipped past Australia and gone right back to Tolpuddle by then? ;-)

Ha ha. Yes, today's the day isn't it. I've a sneaking suspicion that having survived 4 flights in 2 weeks, I may have to pay for such good fortune with my team's premiership status. (I'm not only a terrible flyer I have a nibbly-pibbly theory of the universe which works a bit like karma but for luck)

Do you ever work mogs?!?! - just jealousy coming out believe me ;)

Though you wouldn't have trounced West Ham now would you!!! (not that we were near the top...far from it indeed)

Blimey, do we have 3 forumites from stevenage or thereabouts? It's becoming the new Cleethorpes!!

I don't think taking the name is a sign of being a chattel at all, i think it's a show of unity. Mrs Mockney and I are thinking of both becoming Mr & Mrs O'Mockney to join our heritages into a new one. The whole double barreled thing is so ungainly.

Don't bet on the pink and blue one....ever!!!!!

Just having another listen, on Bros at the mo; there are some really unsettling Half Life 2 moments in there. That or I'm hungover......shibbles!!

i was actually going for a panda bear tune, but i got sidetracked...... kill........me..............

Nearly home time and I think I'm actually cheering up. To celebrate Animal Collective - Grass

As a madrile?o myself I couldn't care less. I lean towards Atletico, but as you mention Van Nistlerooy, my least favourite cheating thug of modern times I may have to back the Azulgranas.

expresso. Does that mean coffee made really quickly?

yet makes me go dizzy

Feel free to laugh at pajeros in those mitsubishi jeeps Asset!!

Ha ha, now we're talking. CEO of my company made it into Birtspeak in Private Eye this issue with a sentence which more or less sums up how management consultancy has poisoned the language: "Last.FM adds a terrific interactive extension to all of our properties and also a huge step in CBS Corporation's overall strategy of expanding our reach online to transition from a content company into an audience company. We looked at a lot of companies to provide a base for CBS' investment in online reach, and found Last.FM to be poised at an inflection point balancing fast growth, a sticky community (there's that word again nero) and the opportunity for monetization that does not distract the user" Gaaaaaaaah!

Yes, I noticed Bimbo bread has made it from Spain to Italy now!! Bonka coffee is one of my faves too. Concha is a conch, but in this case might be better translated to bearded clam *ahem*

lol *Bob*. Mind you the Spics among us might find conch doubly amusing!!

really? tw*t? I'd never thought of it as that rude to be honest. On the whole people have been pretty good at self censorship and I've yet to be genuinely offended by a post (well, not for swearing anyway). Do you think the administrator should allow people to use those words for when they might be appropriate, or at least couched in such a way as hopefully not to be offensive. I guess I could use woowoo and choochoo respectively instead.

LOL, that probably explains alot!!! ;-)

I imagine it did CWALD, but hopefully it gave you a chance to see Half Man Half Biscuit live?
