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
