*groan* that's really rather good, actually

I can see a rather large re-write of the entirety of Christianity coming up...

*makes note of joke for future use*

Well the date for re-admission of my end of course assignment is 29th March. So got to avoid distractions, eg Piano, trumpet, forums etc ......... hmm this is going to take some discipline!!

All the best with that , but don't neglect your lovely shiny trumpet...

methinks ten hours on a train next week may come in handy

What do the other passengers do when you start practising the trumpet?

I've lost my copy of this month's Metal Hammer magazine...bad times!

Dance?

Ah . . . . . . I was thinking coursework but now you come to mention it . . . . . . . Could nicely drown out the sound of Nintendo DSs that annoy me so much! Lol

I LOVE this idea, I think we should arrange a playing and dancing day on a train sometime

I LIKE it!!!!!

Yes please!

You know that two-tone klaxon trains use? You could have a part-time job there (at least for the duration of your journey).

Shall we organise it, Kingsley?

Tell you what I'll test it out next Monday. If I don't get arrested it's a goer! :-D

Just think, it could be a way of getting a nationwide forum event!! Lol





Haha love it!! :-D

I've been nominated for Chair of my Gospel Choir. I really wanted a committee position, and was like "if anyone wants to nominate me..." but I was thinking ordinary member. Now I'm rather worried. I work SO much, I really can't let my course suffer, and I was picked cause there's no one else, which means many positions are unfilled, trebling my work.

I want to do it... but I don't want to do it and then epically fail at it (ruining it for everyone) or fail at my academic work (ruining my life for me).

Dilemma!

I once shared a train carriage with someone playing a treble recorder (badly) and it was one of my journeys from ###### I had got up at 5.00 am, taught seven hours and had fallen asleep on the train home. I was woken up by what I thought was someone's mobile phone but it kept "ringing". Eventually I looked around to try and work out who wasn't answering their phone and saw someone playing a recorder. He wasn't even busking for money, just playing well known pieces out of tune and with the wrong rhythms.

Don't worry. I'm self concious enough practising at home with the window open! If I did decide to have a go It would be with my trusty silent brass! Lol

Many years ago, I did play my clarinet on the District Line...

For some reason that doesn't surprise me!! LOL x

It was New York, New York. With keyboard and singer. And it was FUN

I'm sure you'll fit it in if you really want to do it, lucky. After all, you were complaining that people hadn't invited you out the other day, so you must have some spare time! It will be good for your CV and I bet you'll enjoy doing it once you've got used to the idea.

It's a bit different doing things at night than doing admin-type things for a choir... but Lucy, I really think you should go for it. You'd be perfect. You'd have a vice chair, right? So if it got too much you could swap, maybe...

(I was going to go for EdSoc chair but decided to put it off for a year...)

Well the thing is, there weren't enough people nominated/willing to fill all the positions, so no Vice-Chair. I'm not sure I like the idea that rather than laughing about the rubbish parts of Gospel Choir, I'll have to worry about them and come up with strategies to combat them... I think I'll do it though, I feel better this morning about everything. Though I'll probably back down if someone else gets nominated.

Gee Im glad its not a 'Vice' Chair !!

We have no email.

Get people to send you some



Just kidding

I'm today's top poster at the moment -- ahead of both solari and b-c! (must go back to work )

That is a shocker!!!!!!!

Ive often been second, but never first, Im 3rd equal today. Usually Barry or Solari are way ahead.
But it's close today 16 , 15, 14, 14 at the moment

...and here is me srolling along in 5th place!!

Why do so many drivers go the wrong way round a Car Park (Ie in opposite directions to marked arrows ?)

Wow I'm top now but shutting down soon, nor will I be on line this evening.
Just wanted to see my name once at the top !

I've been first once in the time I've been on the forums, and I got majorly excited! (Admittedly, it was by one post and for about five minutes, but still.... )

Woo hoo I'm on the list too (ok at the bottom ) !!!

Isn't it an exciting experience?! I still get excited everytime I'm on the list!

I hate being on that list, as it shows I haven't spent enough time actually 'living' that day.

Oh dear.....I've been so busy I haven't even touched my violin since Friday *guilty look* but it's certainly registered it's disgust with me for doing so in my practice session-I sound awful!

You're top poster today at the moment, f#m

Looks like I still am this morning ! But Im going to be busy today nso less time on here.

Anyone know if there's a "morning after pill" for cats?

Our vet doesn't like spaying before they have had their first heat? Only Domino didn't tell us she was feeling randy. None of the usual ostentatious yowling and climbing up the window. But this evening I caught her in the act with a large, handsome, randy ginger tom.

We have four cats and homing kittens is a nightmare so I'm off to the vet as soon as he opens tomorrow morning. Shame really ... she'd have tortoishell or ginger long haired kittens if what I've read up on genes is correct.

But I'm afraid it's no kittens and into the surgery to get spayed as soon as possible. The tom, incidentally, should be done for corrupting a minor - she's not much more than a kitten herself!

Get off the piano hubby, I'm itching to get on

I'm afraid I don't know if such a thing exists, Aquarelle, but that little quote there gave me a right good giggle-not sure why, if I'm honest though!



In other news, (not that this is relevant to life in any way, shape or form) I had NO IDEA whatsoever that Whitesnake were British!

I've posted 11 times today. I'm comfortably top poster of the day...

I bought a Mozart variety of potatoes today

I wonder, does anyone remember a video that was posted a while ago (maybe a long while ago, I can't remember) that was a youtube video of a really cool variation on Chopsticks? (Or it might've been Heart and Soul, but anyway, something which you wouldn't think would ever sound good again...)

I've been looking, but I can't find it...

Isn't it funny how life just seems to tie you inexplicably to certain people...

And usually in the ways you'd never, ever see happening.

My mum thinks I wear size 12 shirts

Does she really think that, or was it that the size 12 were in a sale / there on the hangers / otherwise available and she thought they'd do?

In the same year (over 15 years ago now) I was bought items of clothing in a size 8 by my boyfriend's mother, who thought I was skinny and needed feeding up; and size 16 by my mother, who thought I'd been putting on weight recently. As far as I remember I was pretty much a standard size 12 at the time.

I'd be very happy to be a standard size 12 today!

Whilst I was at college my mum knitted me a jumper. Even then I was 6' 3" or so, so when she wasn't sure that it would be long enough she just continued with adding a few more rows. When I got it, it was huge! Fortunately though, not quite so huge that I couldn't wear it.

However, like many of my clothes I found that when I returned home at the end of each term at least one of my two sisters would be wearing them - my rugby shirts were the first to disappear and this jumper was apparently just the thing, worn with a belt and with the sleeves rolled up (rolled up a long way, it must be said!). Shirts too, closely-fitting on me, baggy on them yet long enough to be worn as a dress (with a belt and accessories)!
