In college we used to start card games at about 2 AM.  Today I'm completely dragging because I didn't get to bed until 11:30...Ouch

Hope you're feeling better, prog-chick, mood-wise *or* back-wise. My leg was badly broken in a motorcycle accident and I think I'd still take that over back problems which, strangely enough, I had more of when I was a teen.

I remember I played too much of a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) on Telnet at Uni... kept me up for hours and hours... didn't help that someone else I knew also played it, so we sat in the 24 hour computer lab for far too long...

I'd prefer a TVR Chimera to a Ferrari.
 
I guess I went through that whole re-evaluating your life thing recently.  I've downsized a bit, sold the house and moved to a bungalow in the country, quit the job and gone self employed, got rid of a load of my posessions. 
 
Well worth doing for me as I was in a rut, not enjoying work and getting depressed.  Now things seem a lot more interesting.  Now I'm pusuing one of my hobbies a lot more; restoring and operating steam engines.  I'm now a steam driver at my local steam railway and recently became their operations director.  All voluntary of course so I'm now quite poor, but money isn't everything.Wink
 
 
that's amazing, Neil! i love them old railways - the Dart Valley is one i've been on recently.

Hey Fred, I kept the wife and got rid of the sportscar ( wasn't a Ferrari that's just wishful thinking! ). I like your collegues' idea but my problem deals more with a receding hairline     .

That funky shed strikes again! Maybe you should put out a cd keeping that great pseudonym of yours and call it: Mystic Shed by Mystic Fred.

Funky meaning cool and not something else ( I forget that certain english words have different meanings depending on where you live.).

I was thinking the level of discourse here would be a little higher...I can see that mayn't be the case.

Excellent review of England my friend, they sound exactly like the progressive rock I enjoy. Thumbs Up
Now I must seek this album out and buy it. I just purchased Aardvark, one of those Japanese mini lp/cd releases on ebay, I also bought Soft Machine's third on ebay as well. The problem with our style of music is, it can be a very expensive habit. LOL
DEATH TO FALSE PROG!
