Oooh! I've just noticed that this was post 2222, and that I posted it at 02.22p.m. 22 is my 'lucky' number

Spooky!

Thats really weird. I have something similar, I often glance at the time when it just happens to be 11.11 or 23.11, and yes sometimes 22.22 also !!

Yes, I have absolutely the same thing with the number 22!

I've sometimes wondered whether I should apply to be a contestant in Deal or No Deal....

I think you should! We'd all love the entertainment!

Thank you!

There's a two year waiting list apparently.

I never realised there were so many different types of hearing aids until today...

Today I got up, went to work, got to the edge of town and the road was shut (presumably due to flooding).
Alternative route 1 was via backroads, which I decided would probably be in a very wet state.
Alternative route 2 was going all the way across town, picking up the motorway, getting off at the wrong side of my work town, getting across that town - time consuming and probably double the mileage!

So I took alternative 3 - work at home for an hour or so, then try again. Very sensible as it turned out that the motorway in route 2 was all slow/stopped! And then in that hour, I got all sorts of people telling me that the road was v.bad where it had been shut and loads of people were having difficulty getting in. Then my manager suggested I stay at home and work here for the day. All well and good.

Had a wonderfully productive morning. Walked round to the postbox at lunchtime. Got back. The postman came. And brought me a new book.
And now the bar of chocolate in my fridge is singing to me.
And the lack of anyone in the house but me means I'm ideally situated for some recorder playing.

La-la-la, I am working, honest I am...

Wassat...Wassat...??? That you, Daisy??? Speak up gal, I can't 'ear you



Grapes seem to be smaller and sweeter this week than they were last week.

Why did he eat a paper plate? And why do they ask so many bloomin' questions?!

My tiny wee village in Birmingham (it is actually a village...in a city) apparently has an orchestra. One that's been going for donkeys years and has completely escaped my attention for the 24 years I've lived here.


Shame I can't play with them yet, but it's nice to know, if slightly alarming that they've hidden themselves away for quite so long.

Is going back to Plymouth on Thursday, but does not want to spent the night in the car on the A30 again.

Just started on the scales and arpeggios books I ordered off Amazon...and now I have to change my sig.



I'd forgotten how much fun arpeggios are!

Deleted.

What shall I order at dinner tonight (we are going out, we don't have servants!)

I am eating a pizza tonight, and it's very nice

My random thought for today is that my fishtank is looking nice after its clean out two days ago

I survived Friday 13th relatively well. Despite having rubbish week what with one thing and another and being completely sleep deprived, nothing bad really happened yesterday.

I might just add that my family has a really bad record for friday 13ths, especially in February, so I was really expecting *something* to happen.

I had a bit of a panic that I might have managed to delete my physics coursework by pulling out the memory stick too soon, but it seems to still be there.

There's another one next month!!! Hope you get through that one OK

My Friday 13th was awful...

...but today I went to the post office and picked up the most amazing anniversary card ever. It actually left me speechless.

Double-awww!!!!

Glad it went down well!

I'm on the train to Inverness... The refreshment trolley seems to be causing a traffic jam.

Pasta or toast? I am clearly not on the Atkins diet!

I stayed up all night to write an essay that I've just realised isn't actually in til tomorrow. I'm an idiot. At least it's done.

My mobile phone says I have a new voicemail message.

Except I haven't had a new voicemail message since yesterday...

Aren't the best TV theme tunes those where you can sing the title of the programme to the theme tune?

(try it with Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Coronation Street )

Very not impressed that I've managed to acquire a cold.



*sniffles*

get well soon Noxica...

yes, try to stay warm and drink plenty of hot beverage! Hope you feel better soon!

It would have to surface the day after I promise to go and see my best friend...tomorrow. Curling up on the train with a good book and Lemsip Cold/Flu Capsules counts as not taxing myself, right?

Take it as easy as you can, hope you're better for your jourrney tomorrow

I am taking it easy...why d'ye think I'm on here instead of the forum I'm meant to be modly on?

good point, well made

I discovered today that you can buy red bananas from Morrisons.

Wonder what they taste like...

Car Expert

you'd have the shock of your life if they tasted like elongated strawberries

does a long strawberry taste different to a shorter one?

Not really, but the logistics of consumption are trickier.

Not for a few forumites who seem to have big mouths

Don't talk about Barry like that

I remember someone doing this years back on the radio...might have been the Virgin breakfast show back when it was Russ and Jono (it was almost certainly before I left school, i.e. before 1994).
The best ones they had were from the ITV News and the London Tonight theme tunes, which of course are likely different now.

But you could perfectly fit in "Come and get the news from London Tonight!" in their opening music.
And the main ITV news they got "News! The News! It really is The News! Possibly with Dermot Murnaghan..."

They taste exactly the same as yellow ones.

I just had to break into my own house. It was surprisingly easy!

Thankyou for that info!

*puts on black clothes*

Well excuse me for breathing.


There should be a law against passive-aggressive moderators. Really.


And I'd forgotten how funny it was listening to Jay pretending he wasn't that bothered about his custom guitar being finished. I wonder how well Matias'll hide the pantwetting excitement of it all?

391 miles really is quite far...

Painfully far...

'Loneliness knows me by name'...

Its better than 392 miles!

Flossie's flute is extremely lovely, and I would very much like one
