1879: British soldiers are massacred by Zulus at Isandhlwana, but 140 hold out against 4,000 at Rorke's Drift. 1901: Victoria, the longest reigning monarch in British history, dies aged 81 after 64 years as queen. 1905: Russian troops fire on protestors in St Petersburg (Bloody Sunday), sparking the 1905 Russian Revolution.
Oh, I heard Myners on W@1 too - he did sound like he was about to cry didn't he?
Well done to Obama, I say. I just wish we had the balls to do the same, but the problem is that Germany and France won't, and that would put the City at a distinct competitive disadvantage. Or something. I pretend I know what I am talking about when it comes to big finance, but I never even read the business pages, me...
POETS Day, huh?! I decided to use up my last day of leave today so I could go to the salon to make myself beautiful for tomorrow. I get a gloating text at half twelve to say I should have saved the leave for another day, they've all been sent home. Big fire at an electricity sub-station and all the power's down.
Chuck Berry's on the Radio All my mates have sloped off home Everybody's happy And I've got fucking fuckloads more work to do and I ain't cocking happy.
Hank - that is Sod's bloody Law if ever I heard it. Gutting.
I'm quite happy cos the past few Fridays my clerks have conspired to fit me up with either two cases in one day or a day's trialling in somewhere stupid like Waltham Forest or similar, which is a transport nightmare from where I am.
popping in to wish you a grand time down the boozer tomorrow.
Off to the Faither's Bowling club Burns night tonight. It's mason central, however Burns himself was one I suppose and is always a good chuckle. I'm down drinking with the big boys tonight, they throw whisky down like water and appears to have no effect.
Anyway, hope you all enjoy getting adjacent to sober, into an advanced state of refreshement, tired and emotional, three sheets to the wind, medicated, blootered, pished, rat-arsed and all the other euphemisms for drunk.
Brilliant interviewing on PM re the leaking of the Doncaster Social Services review - "so, this is such an important document that we are not allowed to see it, that the judge in a criminal trial was not allowed to see it, but instead time and effort must be expended on who leaked it?" cue deathly silence...
We had an ice storm/freezing rain on Tuesday and internet & cable have booth been flaky ever since. I've stayed home from work, sick, yesterday and today with a throat that feels like I've been gargling acid.
Internet just came back up a few minutes ago.
Cinnamon is settling in well. They told us she'd probably hide from us for a couple of days, but she hasn't. She wants to be with one or the other of us all the time. She's sleeping with him right now. (I let him stay home today, too. 'Cos I'm a bad mother.) She's just such a little sweetheart -- the sprog & I are both smitten.
Cheers for the link, sheff. Will watch it tomorrow before I head off to the BnB. I've told BW that I've booked two single rooms but I could only get a double(-;
Enjoyed it so much that i kept some of the rental dvds for 4 weeks, I could have bought them.. Watched the first epp, just now, it in 6 instalments, still brilliant. Then read the wiki page about possible directions if it wern't canned... Bit disappointing.. ;(
Like a SF book i got in woolies as a kid (pt2), then as a teen, found Pt1!, for years I hoped that i would find parts3+ and the story would conclude..
Just last year, after long resistance, googled it. only 1+2 ever published..
Turminder - I borrowed series 1 from a friend a couple of years ago but had to buy both series afer that - utterly addictive. Brother J is just so deliciously evil - brilliant writing. Going to have to start watching it again now...
I do hope not, radpole makes a very salient point. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i must say i completely agreed with his being in two different minds about being schizo,,very understandable given the circ.
@staybryte - better be good reasons. BeautifulBurnout is making it despite the treaacherous weather conditions and the fact that her hubby has expressly insisted that she won't go.
If my husband expressly insisted I didn't go, it would be all the more reason for me to come up there. I wish I could! I know you lot are gonna have far more fun than I will in a silly dress at a boring dinner. Sigh.
I must say I am flattered to be invited to a gathering of people whom I occasionally converse with and just as often disagree with.
I hope you have a great time. I don't know Warwick well, especially the sticks at the Whitnash end of the place. I worked in Leamington for a while but never really had a night out there so can't recommend anywhere.
For any real ale freaks like me, look out for beers from the Warwickshire brewery or the Chapel End brewery. UBU and Pure Gold are worth a snifter.
For anyone heading back through Coventry, the Old Windmill in Spon Street has a good range of ales on offer, and both Wetherspoons' in the city centre, particularly the Flying (declining) Standard also have excellent quality ale, though with a Z-list customer base.

"And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me.

At College, we differentiated between 'Irish Dave' and 'Scottish Dave'. Unfortunately all the Eds were English, so they were 'Piss-Ed', 'Physical Ed', and 'Crack-Ed' respectively.
ReplyDeleteMy mate Mick went to see The Doors at the Roundhouse. I said, what was it like. He said "I don't know, we took six black microdots each."
ReplyDeleteThanks all for the proper history,
ReplyDeletePhilippa,
We used to have to number our Daves, the one who's birthday it is was always just Dave, or Dave 1 though. My Dad (also Dave) once worked in an office where everyone was Dave: tall Dave, short Dave, old Dave, new Dave etc., except one woman, who ended up being called female Dave, for convenience!
Bitterweed, sounds like us at the Beastie Boys, SECC..
ReplyDeleteSix months later, a colleague mentioned the gig, I say, 'oh, were you there?'
He sez, 'We had a long chat, don't u remember getting everyone on the bus home singing happy birthday!?!'
Which is why I don't do acid anymore....
BW - not sure if you've got access to your email account at the moment - my phone's on now, mate...
ReplyDeleteI should be asleep, but here's what my mate Dave says and I have to point out that the football section of Guard almighty is asking a serious question: Poll: Is Gary Neville a 'boot-licking moron'?
ReplyDeleteI love the sillyness in this world.
Hank
ReplyDeleteI checked this am - will bell you later mate. Cool bananas.
Lord Miners talking on World@1 sounds like he's hyperventilating. really very unnerving. not designed to make you feel reassured with the situation when the chap 'in charge' sounds on the verge of being given a paper bag to blow into, and urged to put his head between his knees...

ReplyDeleteHad to deal with this sorta shit all my life as an albino who chooses to dress predominantly in white.
Well then, given that it's likely to be pissing down and shades of dingy grey will predominate you should show up quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteJust you and me tonight then, sheff? Was there an email we didn't get?

ReplyDeleteThe ice storm seems to have hit Iowa pretty hard. There are some photos of the frost & ice on this news website.
Waddya's good tonight. Radicalpole's post at 21.35 is just asking to be banned though...
ReplyDeletehey Turminder - you're watching Carnivale? Fantastic show - did you enjoy it?
ReplyDeleteHank
ReplyDeleteI do hope not, radpole makes a very salient point.
Enjoyed it so much that i kept some of the rental dvds for 4 weeks, I could have bought them.. Watched the first epp, just now, it in 6 instalments, still brilliant. Then read the wiki page about possible directions if it wern't canned... Bit disappointing.. ;(

So what's your excuse?
LOL!
ReplyDeleteIf my husband expressly insisted I didn't go, it would be all the more reason for me to come up there. I wish I could! I know you lot are gonna have far more fun than I will in a silly dress at a boring dinner. Sigh.

And he laughed again.
"And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure . . . And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky!

ReplyDeleteGone all quiet, so here's a song for those who know a bit about love.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when I thought that I'd have this sung at my wedding. Never happened.
ReplyDeleteMost American girls of my generation went with this.
ReplyDeleteMy friend, Peg, went with this. Although good taste prevailed at the last minute and she saved it for the reception.
ReplyDeleteLate on a Friday night. Time for some bump & grind.
ReplyDeleteI guess we get too tired sometimes.
ReplyDeleteBut there's always Lizzy to wake us up to dance.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bryan to tell us not to stop.
