Oh! Even better! James missing the train.

 That was brilliant. And they calculated it would cost 13 quid to stop the train. 

RH: " I haven't got that kind of money !"

yeah. there was no way they'd stop for him.. cash or no cash.

likey the new avatar.

Thank you Hitch. Its the latest in a long line of cat avatars. 

I made a badger one for facebook... it's wearing a hat...

I should really be kept away from GIMP.

 lol I'd like to see that.

I'd  such a weird dream last night. Dreamt I went to the pub with the Springwatch presenters... then it turned into a nature ramble  Oh and the pub was situated next door to my old primary school, to boot.

Missed a bit of background at the bottom of the hat. you don't really notice that avatar size. *nods*

Best. Dream. Ever.

So, was Martin adorable? Did chris try to interest you in poo?

My first dream of the year involved a walking corpse... best dream of the year so far.

So cuuuuuute! lol love the way you put a party hat on it 

You dreamt of a walking corpse... gulp   

Chris wasn't talking about poo, but he was showing me cameras in the soil [?] Also there were a couple of Springwatch female groupies there, making a beeline for Martin and Chris  I wasn't happy.

*tsk* groupies! *shakes head in dismay*

I hope you saved the boys?

I woke up! I trust the boys though 

Jezza earned £2.14 M last year!!! No wonder his wife is staying with him 

Yes, they are good lads. *nods*

my word... do you think he'd give me a loan?

He probably has enough money fallen down the back of his sofa to cover it Hitch 

If I promised to check with either a hammer or a rifle he'd probably let me.

 Yeah probably.

I wonder if the other two are miffed about the deal Jezza negotiated?

probably not.. they all have their own separate things. Plus, I'm sure they understand that Jezza's controversy helps ratings.

Indeed... neither of them are short of tv work.

Hammond must be getting good pay for Wipeout alone.

I've never seen that.

It's alright.... Richard basically sits in a studio reading stuff written by Richard Osman, whilst people in Argentina take part in some obstacle courses, occasionally with hilarious results.

You probably already knew that, so I'll shut up now. Except to add... I have a car now.

You got a car! Waahay thats great  Congrats, you're fully mobile now. 

I am. it's rather different inside from the vauxhall i learned in... but getting used to it.

Thats great  What make is it?

Now you'll be watching TG in earnest! 

Fiat Panda, dynamic. azure surf (blue)...

Is there any other way?

lol what else? Sounds like a nice colour too.

'Tis lovely! shiny and pretty. She's called Mitxy, not sure how that happened, but it has.

Mitxy...  good name, if a little hard to say 

mit-see, i wasn't sure on spelling.

this is also why i should never have kids... what the hell would i call them?

If I'd had kids, it would have been Raul for a boy and Verity for a girl. Just as well then I didn't have any, really... 

Miles for a boy and Lola for a girl. Major problem with Lola though, namely the song about the transexual... way to get your kid teased all their life.

Oh yeah now you mention it 

Miles is nice though 

Years ago when I was an au pair, one of the little boys was called Raul. I love the way its pronounced Rah-ool. 

Spanish family?

Yep Madrid, the summer before I went to Uni. The best thing about that Summer was visiting the Prado art museum and discovering Goya, my favourite artist. He did some very strange, dark, fantastical paintings.

Very nice... My friend did teaching in spain and france before she got in to teaching down south.

not familar with goya I have admit.

I think you would like him Hitch 

Are you watching CBB at all? Its pretty good.

i'll give it a look then.

I thought i might watch it when michael was announced... but the next person in was andrew stone, that cured me quickly. lol I know he's gone, but still not watcing. quietly cheering michael on from the next room.

Its surprisingly entertaining this one. Its a different format now, they have recaps and flashbacks so you could easily pick it up, its just over a week in, and there are two weeks to go. Michael is being harrassed by a drunken harpy - Denise off Loose Women - and he's handling it well, mostly. He is the epitome of cool.

I actually saw a bit of that last night. bb told him he could be stuck with her for another 2 weeks and he was all "gah!".

 Yeah he didn't like that thought. Later he came out wearing Denise's fur coat and looked like a 70's pimp lol

Yeah, the fur coat and the cowboy boots.

Yay! He stayed
