Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Spiffing news, Christopher

- the flat-warming is when exactly?

"Eeeer - darling... I've invited some friends round for a few drinks"

"Lovely - so long as it's not people you claim to have met on the internet... you know what the papers say about those kind of people"

That's more or less what my wife said just before the first prog curry.

"but they could all be axe murderers!"

Er...

Its all right Jim, I'll promise that both me and my imaginary friend Ralph will stay away...

... unless of course you're planning on enriching his shag-pile with the blood of a mountain goat you'll have sacrificed on the dining room table...

in which case, we'll both turn up in our grass skirts and appease the Rain God's anger with our karaoke machine...

Other stuff: hasn't the boy Murray done good up to yet? CSN were on pretty spiffing form at Glasto, as were The Specials. I really need a new power drill.

Oh, and welcome back Steve & Jared.

Congrats Chris (and Mrs Chris).

I'm still trying to work out the connection between The Specials and needing a new power drill.

^ you'll be needing the Binford 5000W multispeed with interchangable chucks, a full range of sds bits, shoulder holster and foot rests for that extra leverage and a shed to keep it in.

...and a bench vertical drilling rig and a set of masonry drills if you're in a flat , lots of fixtures and fittings to put up - have a noisy weekend, chris!

the advantage of living in a flat is that they are easy to heat, and you're not going up and down stairs all day. two bedrooms is a nice touch - well people argue, don't they? when i was sharing a one-bedroom flat my only option during a "battle" was ...the greenhouse. i got so accustomed to spending nights in there i installed a comfy chair and called myself a tomato plant ..

the main disadvantage is space - when you run out of floor space the only way is up, so that masonry drill then comes in very handy...

as for tennis i rarely watch it (only with the sound off, there is nothing much to hear except the anguished screams and grunts of the players...it's a tough life poor things), Murray is a scot and as he has previously stated if he wins wimbledon it will be for Scotland not Britain - so i will enjoy seeing him get "Rogered"....

Murray - the Scotch git's going to get Rogered

Surely Chuck Norris is better than interchangeable chucks?Great news, Chris. I'm really happy for you and Mrs. Syzygy.I was expecting Murray to do well but last night was a bit of a disappointment, even though he did go through. I think it's partly due to being "indoors" though. I expect him to beat Ferrero.

If Ferrero wins will he go ro the ambassador's ball?

I'll get m'coat

Congratulations,Chris.Hope all goes well for the impending move.
Make sure you know where the kettle is when you arrive at your new house/flat.Removal men can drink their own weight in tea.

I think I remember her. I wonder what Wilcey means?

My surname is Wilce, everyone calls me Wilcey, (not my family obviously, cos that would get confusing all being called the same Confused

) I think it's only here that people routinely call me Rachel!

and if you google me, I'm not the Rachel Wilce that was in prison for multiple felonies Confused

........weird, cos there's not many WIlce's about these days.

i'd love to google you Rach but you are a respectable married woman...

^^ sorry Ian... missed that one.

OK; yes I'm still hostelling... see my answer to Rach for fuller details..

Why the move? I wouldn't be entirely comfortable giving a full & frank explanation to that one in a public forum, I'm afraid... suffice it to say that things have been 'difficult' of late...

...no explanation necessary Jared, hope your new post goes goes well!
