Good luck with your driving lesson Flossy!
Good luck with the driving business - you'll be great I'm sure.
Am I supposed to know what's going on here?
I had a rather late night - I'm not entirely on top of matters!

As much as I'd really love to socialise here, I have to go and collect the bow that I took for re-hairing on Saturday, and subsequently forgot all about.
Good luck once again to Felicity - organists have so many pedals to deal with, driving will be no problem!If I could drive, I'd be able to go down to church and find the music I need for tomorrow's wedding...
Bye for now!
I said all that in my own, unique dialect.

It's my first one today. Eek.
Ooooh good luck 
I am sure you'll pick it up faster than I did!

I'm not so sure. I'll probably be awful and they'll refuse to teach me or something.
I really doubt that!

So do I now! Nice rodents, Maizie!
How did it go?
Well, I was really nervous. He came up the drive and said, 'F, you look terrified!'
He was really complimentary though and didn't believe me when I said I hadn't driven before. Passing people from school was quite horrid!

Well done Floss! When's the next one?
Haha, you get used to it!
My driving instructor didn't really have much tact, two times whilst I was learning with him, he said that I seemed to have a negative attitude, which was actually terror/frustration because I couldn't pick it up.

That's awful! Mine made me laugh so much at one point (thankfully we were had stopped at the time). We were talking about how I was the youngest in my year so I was the last to 'hit the road' and he said, 'Yes, but none of the others had such a good looking instructor!'

And was he??
Well, he was nice, but didn't understand how I clicked, quite. I cried in his car on several occasions. Can't believe I passed nearly a year ago. 
!
He always asked me why I hadn't got a boyfriend yet

I don't think I should comment DC. (He looked a bit like a certain Bradely Walsh )
That's a shame. You passed though! At the moment, remebering not to release the clutch too quickly is enough of a challenge for my little brain!

QUOTE(fsharpminor @ Apr 4 2008, 09:06 AM)
I was born and brought up in sight of Ilkla Moor, from the Keighley end. To be accurate, the whole moor area is known as Rombalds Moor, a legendary giant Rombald lived there, and there is a statue of him in Keighley centre.
Ilkey Moor is really just a small part of Rombalds Moor on the Ilkley side, but the whole moor of Rombalds Moor is generally referred to locally as Ilkley Moor.
The complete verses are:-
1. Wheer 'as tha bin sin' ah saw thee. On Ilkla Moor baht 'at..... etc
2. Tha's barn ter cacth thi deeath o' cowd. On .................
3. Then we shall 'ave ter bury thee. On..................
4. Then t'worms'll come and eyt thee up. On...........
5. Then t'ducks'll come and eyt up t'worms. On................
6. Then we shall come and eyt up t'ducks. On............
7. Then we shall all 'ave etten thee !. On.........
Well, F#minor was the last person I'd have expected to forget the second verse: Tha's bin a-coortin' Mary Jane. On ...
I wouldn't like anyone to think there is no sense of romance in the Yorkshire male!
One annoying recent trend among some people is to play their MP3 players etc. at full volume on public transport 
. It's strange, but you never hear Mozart being played on these things at full blast...

and another thing...why is my MSN at the moment continually 'encountering a problem' and therefore it 'must close'...

I am staying at a hotel on Weds & Thurs nights. I have just looked at it online to see what check-in time is (2pm; but I'm going to pitch up at about 12.30 and see if they'll either let me check in, or hang on to my luggage in a secure place until after my meeting/dinner, so I don't have to lug it about all afternoon/evening).
In the hotel description, it listed 'features' of this hotel. One of which was:
Internal Corridors.

That's quite amusing.
Well, it is nice to know that you don't have to clamber across balconies or through other people's rooms

At least it isn't saying 'connection actively refused' !
My friend was playing music from a computer today. I told him to put some headphones in as I was trying to compose. I didn't notice the headphones go in as he just turned the volume up so loud it made no difference!
Ee!
Hmm..
Apparently Durham University have done a study about facial expressions to see whether you can tell who wants a one night stand. The radio presenter is also from Durham University. Yay for Durham. (Couldn't find another article about it: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/...cle1015579.ece)

Even if I am in the postman tiptoes up the path, doesn't knock on the door, posts a while you were out card through the letterbox and runs away as quickly as possible!
Why is it that I'm the only competent person in this place?!

I really can't be doing with golf on television.

When i was signing in today (normally it's left signed in), i noticed the 'be invisible' option, which seems to mean that you're not listed on an active member's list...i swear there isn't one :S ...i'm most likely being extremely blind lol
Yayyyyy my parcel of new canvases has just arrived!!!!
I think I've let my mind wander too far lately... "I think it's the music from Swan Lake, you know, the bit with the goose!"
Has your mind come back yet MissR? Mines gone and its taken all knowledge of mathematics with it
Umm... no, it's still AWOL.
Hope yours comes back soon!

Much music making for me I think

Same names. Utterly different views of golf
Same names, utterly different people. Funny that. I know 2 Beverleys, and they are totally different from me. One is very quiet, and the other is very loud and "bouncy", a bit like Jodie in "I'd do anything".
Me, well I'm in the middle.
Do you know any other Barry's Barry?? Also do you ever get called "Basil" as a joke??
Bev.
Apart from your Barry, no Bev.
No-one's ever called me Basil. Even though some people think I'm as daft as a brush...brush...as in Basil Brush...sorry it's all I can manage humour wise tonight
