What no, The One and Only, It?s Raining Men, Barbie Girl or We are the Champions?

It?s that Hugh Heffner mask I wore to the last drinks isn?t it?

Don?t be so sure David. I went to a mixed school and at 28 I could still do little more than blush, giggle and scuff my shoe across the flaw when speaking to women.

They do you know Mac and they intentionally make the trains run late. And all those people who piss about at the station, causing queues and getting in everyone?s way are actually employed to do that by the ministry of transport as is the guy who goes around putting gum on the bus seats.

Don't worry some people are still being positive. http://www.building.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=284&storycode=3127683&c=1

Those who have met me know me as Brenda.

Not sure about the jumper though. I know it was cold but that wasn?t necessary.

They were quite different organisations from what I?ve read.

While I am delighted to be the first to congratulate you on your recent acquisition of fame LadyG I must confess that not one word of your post makes any sense to me at all.

May I offer a solution http://images.surlatable.com/surlatable/images/en_US/local/products/detail/5210.jpg

Huguenot, Ok perhaps I was being a bit hot headed but the tone of that article really got to me. Not because of any specific political affiliation, I am perfectly aware of the effects the ?troubles? had on all sides and don?t have any personal affiliation either way. But it attacked a sentiment held by people who (from what I can make out) the author is not a contemporary. For example I could just as easily write a scathing commentary on the sentiment expressed in Cry Freedom and back it up with tales of personal tragedy and the crimes committed in the name of liberation. I wouldn?t though, because as a rational adult I realise that there are more than two sides to every story, I know that sentiment does not always reflect the outcome of something and I respect the feelings of other people. To me it seems that the author was merely trying to absolve himself of a misplaced sense of latent, liberal guilt that he shouldn?t really be feeling in the first place.

May pop in tomorrow afternoon-eveningish.

Cynicism becomes you Jah. You?re like Scully to Sean?s Mulder. Or is that Laurel to his Hardy?

Balls! I really want to listen but can't at the moment.

East of Ealing? Did he get sent to Shepherd?s Bush then?

It is all a load of cobblers isn?t it. Makes you wish they would take this opportunity to rationalise and overhaul the whole system.

Nope. I found a flat in ED instead.

Yes, yes I think I will.

True story this. I once looked at houses in Brockley. I got to the estate agents and the window was smashed from a break-in they had had the night before. I then walked to a couple on properties with the chain-smoking agent who proceeded to get into a fight with a group of girls en route. It was a very entertaining afternoon.

I can do a really bad impression of Michael Caine and not a lot of people know that.

According to ?tinterweb St Helier was an ascetic hermit who knitted jerseys.

Who is the Patron Saint of train timetables?

I reckon I could have it by 3:30. Just exactly how relevant do these posts have to be?

HTT moi? In pointing out England?s faults I am by no means implying that my country have none. I am just leaving ours out of the discussion as they are not currently relevant.
