Aye, politics...   

Thanks, Bette's one of my icons, besides Rog. Actually she's quite soft in All About Eve...I like her when she's more of a bitch  eg in Jezebel.

Her films used to be on all the time, but you rarely see her now 

I don't mind politics normally... Just I'll be glad once the 18th is over.

I'm sure All About Eve was on not that long ago (I had too much on v+ to catch up with, as usual)... but, yeah... not often enough. Need to stalk the TCM listings.

Steve Backshall is doing Strictly!

What are the odds his shirt will come off. at some stage?  

I shall try to avert my eyes 

I know! Bets are mostly stacking up for the 3rd week. I'm just looking forward to seeing him in something tight and sparkly.

 Aye.... 

Never watched it before... might look in  

Starts next Saturday I think. That said, it'll just be the pairing up... then a three or so week break for training.

Thanks 

*Goes a bit wibbly at the thought of Steve training * 

Indeed. He is a fit young man. *nods*

In so many ways   

*ahem* I'm saying nothing... just ignore the pool of drool.

He's just back from an (ant?)Artic expedition as well... you'd think he'd want a break? I'd want a break... but then again, I'm lazy.

oh b.t.w I joined Facebook and Twitter -displaying a username not my real name etc. It was mainly to join with / support a group of patients/families who've had poor care at my Health Board and are pressing for an enquiry. 

I don't know what I'm doing yet, still learning the ropes .

Ooh! If you want to adds me (?) I can direct you to

Temps and Ruby? Both sites.

Will pm you so you can have a look... its more of a protest/cause thing, not "fun"  like here. I wanted to ally myself to a group of people who've suffered poor care under this health board - though they're much worse affected, bereaved in fact . I feel so sorry for them. The founder of the group, texted me and was so polite and lovely. But perhaps maybe would you "like" my Facebook page, or even better, theirs please? 

Its a bit confusing... I'm not a techno peep youngster like you... though you are teaching me stuffs 

By the way... hope Ruby's doing well 

I will like for you. *nods*

Ruby is fine, she's not really as active on facebook/twitter as me and Temps are... Probably a good sign. *nods*

Thanks Hitch xx

b.t.w. your facebooky twittery stuffs is SO cool  

Thank you. Glad someone likes it.

Rabbits! Its like Father Ted [or is it Night of the Lepus].

Very surreal with a hint of dark... I like 

Night of the Lepus it is.

I like my face palming Godzilla avatar... it expresses how I feel most of the time perfectly.

How you getting on with the sites?

Heh heh

Getting used to it thanks.Its all very public isn't it... I have the urge to scuttle under something and hide 

It is a bit. You can fiddle with the privacy settings a bit, even select on a post by post basis how public you want it to be.

Lots to fiddle with.... too much for my wee brain  

How are you doing, yourself? What do you think of the new Celtic manager?

You'll get there.

I'm alright. Had the environmental health in today. They swabbed my hands before and after washing... I passed both times.  It says something about me that this was an exciting part of my day.

I'm not sure of this guy yet... someone said recently that "he doesn't seem to know that we should be better."... I would say that's accurate. That said we opened the season 6-1, and we've only lost to Caley Thistle, who we tend to lose to. We'll give it a bit. *nods*

Good stuffs 

Had a peek of your twitter, you're very funny - nekkid socks lol 

Cor blimey you have lots of followers! 

*asks Hitch for autograph... its for my niece... honest*  *coff*

Oh dear... That's a lot to live up to.

I have to say the socks were decent, the nekkidness came from someone else's mind. *nods* Bearing in mind, I've been on about 6 years... it's not so great. Quality, over quantity. *nods* I think on average 36% of people's followers are bots... but nevermind.

Bots?  oooh 

Yeah, you slag off One Direction in a tweet, then end up with One Direction based followers because they've ran a program to follow anyone that mentions them.

 Thanks for the tip.

Has it happened to you?  

Yeah.. hehe... made a snarky comment about dancing... got followed by Andrew Stone from Pineapple dance studios... He unfollowed fairly quickly when he realised, plus I was never going to follow back.

It's nothing sinister.

  The horror!

Quite recently, a newbie popped up on Gaga singing his praises [and directing us to a website I think].A fan? PR person? The great man himself? We'll never know.   

I suspect himself... I doubt he could afford PR. *ahem*

How's it going?

Um ok thanks. Seven weeks on, my advocate's done naff all. Apparently they're having email problems and are only part time. It was only after six weeks, that they got me an application form for my records, so I could re-apply. Only after I emailed their manager though. They then told me the wrong address to send it to. Lucky I checked  

The advocacy place is largely funded by the health board so its not that independent.

Was going to have them apply for my records on my behalf, so hopefully get the full set. Probably just re-apply on my own though, it would be quicker. Suppose I could write my progress on Facebook or Twitter, once I get the hang of it.

Looking forward to Autumn though. Halloween is always something to look forward to 

How you keeping yourself?

Yeah, if you get it all public... might encourage them to move things along better.

Looking forward to halloween too. Halloween is the best time of year... that said I treat all the year like Halloween. *shrugs*

Tired. Catching up on my back log of Wonder Woman.

Halloween shouldn't be confined to just October *nods*

Exactly!

Here's a calendar I found on Tumblr that is useful. *nods*

I am ready to get with the spooky. Always!

 I Can relate to that

I loves a  bit of  

Tell you what... the Horror Channel better not let me down.

Better not! 

I now have a tumblr and a wordpress blog...  and a .com domain! Be a while before there's anything there probably. 

It'll be quite serious and "cause-y" about my care problems. Maybe I should have another twitter account for fun?... Y'know like I am here [ie daft]. It would be wrong to put pics of my favourite muppets and cartoon characters [and Roger's outfits] amongst serious stuff.   Not to metion drooling over Steve Backshall etc
