i have to say.. it isn't exactly difficult. *ahem* my lovely walkman helps. ((((sony))))

oh.. question... do people still use that bracket hug? or do i just look like i am in sony's employ, which i'm not. but if they'd like to pass along free stuff i shan't complain.

the avatar is the same character as my old one, but this is the new version 2, during game play look... wearing a kwak set, hence the face obscuring hat.

Yup, I think bracket hugs are still used.


B.t.w. I didnt see it but the most recent Coast had Neil Oliver in Glasgow

i heard, but haven`t seen it yet... was he on the waverly?

Coast, Wednesday 18 August 8:00pm - 9:00pm BBC2

Glasgow to Edinburgh via Caledonian Canal


"The programme's called Coast: surely travelling along the Caledonian canal to avoid the Highland coast of Scotland is cheating? Obviously the pull of this massive white elephant was too hard to resist and Nicholas Crane gives his all in celebrating the boldest building project of 19th-century Britain. Elsewhere, Miranda Krestovnikoff has the pick of the jobs exploring a stunning reef of tube worms in Loch Creran, Neil Oliver is in raptures on board a 'Clyde puffer' in Glasgow, Mark Horton almost explodes with enthusiasm over Pictish remains, while Alice Roberts details the life of artist Joan Eardley. And Hermione Cockburn proves she skims stones like a girl".

Radio Times reviewer - David Crawford

*nods* i read that... just wasn't sure if you could class the waverly as a puffer. i suppose it is though, as it has those wheels on the side like Mississippi casino boats that you see in old movies like 'how the west was won'

Sounds cool, can the public go on it?

Oh oh! JM was on Shooting Stars. Only caught the last 5 mins ( I don't like the show ). Lets say it was JM as you've never seen him before

yes, trips 'doon the watter' and what not.

no, don't like shooting stars either... oh dear, i dread to imagine.

JM lay on the floor, and a half naked old man lay on top of him and rubbed his straggly beard all over JM's face. Very bizarre and a bit icky. 

umm.... eww...

Very ewww!


 I never watch Shooting Stars, itsextremely irritating. I wouldn't sit through all of it - even for JM.

thus is the power of shooting stars indeed!

What do you make of the recent Stig ( book ) furore Hitch?
I don't blame him for wanting more out of it. The amount of Stig merchandise they sell, jeez TG must really rake it in.  Why not let him sell his book?

i don't want to know who the stig is...

it ruins the fun if the stig is just some bloke... i don't care about bloke. lol

Hmmm since you put it like that...


They should  just pay him some hush money.

yay for hush money!

i'd like some hush money... *wonders if anyone will offer*

Blimey Stig won the court case  ker-ching for him!

not so much, they then preceded to sack him because he was no longer of any use...

goose that lays the golden eggs?

anyhoo, i was at a wedding yesterday... fainted at the cake cutting. *doh* i will be the you've been framed person!

Heh heh Hitch why did you faint? Was it too hot? ( Didn't have you down as the fainting type ).

it was around 4pm, i'd only had a slice of toast since about 7am, it was indeed warm, and we'd been standing for ages outside on the grass, my legs/feet hurt... all that combined made me pass out.

Ah i see. Poor you   Hope you were ok after
Though Its mortifying when you faint in public isn't it? I've only fainted once, back in my schooldays. My history teacher had to carry me over to the school nurse. I still cringe when I think about it.
