Thought someone might find this scenario as amusing as I did:

I've just looked up the train times for a journey to a riding school I might go and work at, arriving at 8am. The trains don't start early enough, so the suggestion of the helpful journey-planning website is this:

Get train number 1 at 11.30pm to Station A.
Wait at station A until 7am.
Get train number 2 to station B.

Total journey time: 7 hours 50 minutes.

What is the fastest way to clear an in-tray?

Knock it to the floor with the music files you hadn't got round to putting away which were on the edge of the table you bumped with your chair.

and what's the fastest way to study a play? deny that you need to and reassure yourself that meditation in the exam-room will provide every answer you need...

what's the fastest way to get up in the morning? don't lie down at night.

I'm out of synch

I went to bed about 8 o'clock because I didn't feel very well, and I slept for about 6 hours and woke up feeling quite lively. I've just had a cooked meal

I'm glad I feel better

Just thought I'd share this

perhaps the entire world is evolving into a different type of place, where sleep patterns are unaccountably weird and we have cooked meals whenever the fancy takes us.

last night an alarm clock kept going off at twelve. it goes off every night, a few times at twelve and then at four. at twelve the local council also started mowing the grass on the pavement opposite our house.

It's very mild considering we're into winter...

Wonder if it'll snow at all before winter's out?...

Maizie

We're in Autumn

Technically, Winter runs Dec 21-Mar21(or whenever the first day of spring is). Summer from Jun-Sep, Autum from Sep-Dec.

Least that's what I was always taught.

S'easy! Just click Members at the top of the page... then when you've got there, go to the bottom of that page where you've got some options. Change the first option box to "Validating" members and the last box to "50 per page". You end up with 13 pages with 50 on a page, which equates to [counts fingers....], yup 650

How does that effect probate. Its fine if the author left a will, but what if they died intestate and lived in one of those area covered by some strange dutchy?

Mini roundabouts are pointless! Big roundabouts should all have traffic lights in my opinion... Well, just that you can fail the driving test for being too hesistant, but fail for going too soon! Either that, or they should give you a bit of room for hesitancy, as people are meant to become less cautious after they pass their test anyway, so you'd lower down to the right level?

I made my Physics coursework too difficult and it's too late to start again, and I don't have a clue how to theoretically calculate the velocity of a cylinder filled with varying levels of honey at varying angles at varying temperatures... Boo, I hate practicals - especially when I have to keep on disassembling my equipment in case one of the lower year rebels meddles with it and smashes it to pieces - but then finding I can't replicate the angle of the slope exactly again, and this changes the velocity readings completely! So that's a lose lose situation. And the silly situation of English students in Science and Business students in Maths.

It may be my imagination, but from what I can tell so far, all of the American origin cartoons re-dubbed into Italian have had their starting themes re-dubbed into dance tracks of some sort. X-men seemingly now has words. So I guess dance music must be a favourite of Italians then...?

Umm... apparently I'm still getting prospecti through the post from Universities, when I've already chosen my Unis, so I guess UCAS and UCAS card work with no intercommunication...

Well, I think these should be sufficiently spontaneous...

We decided to receive our phone bill by email and pay by direct debit, partly to save paper. BT then POSTED us two letters confirming this.

We decided to get our phone bill by email but pay when it was due. Then we got an automated phone call from BT asking us to contact them. Which we did (well, my husband did, as it is in his name). And we were apparently late for our bill - which we had never received from them.

So we paid the bill, then emailed them and said 'you were chasing us for a bill we never received', to which we got an email reply of 'we are sorry you have had problems logging in during the last few days several people have had this problem'
