Anyone got their governmental leaflets on how to survive this worldwide deadly pandemic yet?

Sounds good to me. And it depends on what beer you have. If its any good I make no guarantees And as for the swine flu. As I was typing this I JUST got a "call" from the Superintendent of our school system saying there are no more confirmed or suspected cases, but children should never the less be sure to wash their hands etc etc etc Wait, no MORE.....? Oh boy Edited by JJLehto - May 07 2009 at 15:15 |

Hate to double post....but I am currently up at 3:37 am!
There is this beeping, really loud beeping (sounds like a truck backing up almost) that has been going on forever! I have no idea what it is, and now I am wide awake. |

That reminds me, I need to see if they released any recordings. They're a band featuring former members of Henry Cow but I don't think they recorded. They were a touring outfit only. Anyhow... back to Greyism. |

It looks like me and Mrs Syzygy could be getting a toe on the propery ladder soon. HELP!
Oh, and is anyone else going to the Gryphon gig next month?

This is probably the best time to get there, to be honest - Vicky and I did the same 18 years ago at the depth of the last recession; it may still go down, but eventually, you'll be well in profit.
Good on ya guys |

Splendid day on Saturday for the Gartens, BTW - day trip up to York with 16 other Mutual Friend regulars; terrific weather, did most of the York city wall walk, good laughs had all round, many good hostelries visited, many fine brews sampled, much good good eaten, nobody crossed the contentment-before-capacity threshold & back to the Mutual in time for a swift before bed.

Thanks for the kind thought there Jim - alas it's only a flat so I won't be able to have a shed (assuming everything goes through OK in the next few weeks).
My sister was at York university and now lives in Ripon, so I know that part of the world very well and it sounds like you had a good day in the land of the flat cap and the whippet - no problems with the natives, then?

Shouldn't your sig read "Beautiful women are shaped like an Elton Dean sax", so without the "solo" at the end? |

Anyone think 20 is too old to start playing guitar? I've wanted one for a while but never had the time/money. Im thinking of getting one by the end of the week though.

It's a step on the ladder, though (I hate that expression, but unfortunately it's apt) - we're in the doldrums at the moment, but property is always a good bet in the long run - so long as you're buying a home, rather than an investment opportunity - too many people do that (and look at them now... ) Vicky and I bought our house in 1991, we're still there, and see no reason to move up the ladder BTW - if you have a balcony, why not enclose it in shiplap? Hey presto! High level shed
York's a fab place (especially the Ackhorne Pub) & the natives seemed very friendly - probably down to the fact none of them knew we were from Stevenage (our football team gave theirs a good spanking at Wembley the day we were in York) |

Not too old at all - I'd never touched a musical instrument until my 40th birthday, when my wife bought me lessons for my Hammond. |
