Hi Oddball, is it raining now at your place?

Oh Z, hee, hee, you may stop your evil cackling now.

Sept 13 - I have checked - is a mostly cloudy but DRY day in London. It'll only RAIN the following 3 days after the parade. Hurray!

What about the terrible folly of booking a victory parade on the 13th?

Not the weather, the date! It means England is doomed to lose the Ashes! (as usual)

NUS card = National Union of Students or something like that. IT gets you 10% off in some shops if you're between 16-18 (and possibly in Post 16 education). See www.nusonline.co.uk, or for the card I am getting www.nusonline.co.uk/associate

When I misjudged the weather the other week and arrived for my lesson soaking wet my teacher found it highly amusing....

It's a 40 minute walk (though if it's really wet when it's time to go I drive) so I don't normally take a coat or I get too hot.

Hi Nicky,
You don't want to stick a photo you dislike on your NUS card as it can last for 3 or 4 yrs depending on the duration of your course!

Can you do a re-take? Or, have you already stuck it on the card?

Heh, I just remembered that a large part of the rest of the world is not in Spring!

I'm so glad it's warming up here!

You are lucky, Z. My Australian friends tell me the only place with English weather in Australia is Melbourne. I presume you don't hail from there.

I just went out to town, and had a horrible picture taken to put on my NUS card.

What's a NUS card?

I got my new passport today and the picture on that is awful too. It was taken in a hurry and my hair looks a right mess.

Oh dear! Poor you, the passport lasts for 10 years, right?

NUS - University Student Union card.

I've heard of these things called Student loans... does anyone know what that is? I'm just curious... that's all...

Oh! Depends... A student loan means one thing in Australia, another in UK and another in Singapore! Where do you mean? Having said that I've lost touch quite a bit. I guess the more in touch among you can enlighten CD depending on the context of his query.

Well thankfully, it is for the NUS card. But my passport photo is even worse. In that one I look like an alien, in this one I look like I am dead.

I have been told by a surprising number of people that I look like a stoner in pictures. Something to do with having my eyes only half-open most of the time.

Well spotted, Trebor. How sweet! Didn't spot the pun myself!

Incidentally, when I was a child my family was very poor (...what do you expect! ...artist and musician!) and sweets were scarce but I still remember my favourite sweets were called Trebor!

This is no joke.

I am just lucky my passport photo looks decent. In the past it looked terrible! So I tried to think of something funny - can't remember what it was now - and laughed kind of chuckly in my heart when the flash went! Luckily, it worked!

If it's any consolation, when you travel in Europe and espy Switzerland, they sometimes don't even bother to look inside for your handsome or otherwise stony face at all. Just hold it out for them to see the EU thingy and they may simply wave you past. Not in Moscow though! They were ghastly. They stared at me and then at my photo repeatedly for so long that I recall feeling distinctly uncomfortable! Aaargh!

Up until last year, i'd kept a baby photo on my passport from when i was about 3 and looked like a boy! Everytime they looked at my passport they always looked behind me expecting to see a toddler or my little brother or something, and we'd have to explainb that it was actually me..*cringe*

How can you? If you are genuinely happy and smiling? Or, laughing? I'm sure you don't look terrible in ALL of them. Most people look terrible in MOST of them.

No need to put yourself down, please?

Having said that I have to admit, I'm camera-shy, too.

Nicki I don't think any of us like our own photos.

Plus - those photo booths do a very basic job really, they seem to flatten the prettiest face.

I actually like some of mine, but in this one, I have like the flash marks in my eyes, so there are like white bits. Scary.
