Hi there

How are you? How are things going with w**k? I have had on h**k of a week and if you are really (un)lucky I will tell you all about it!

Fancy a drink?

I'm several hours ahead of you there

I've been canning the Stella most of this week. I got hold of some what had fallen off the back of a ferry, as it were

Yes, go on tell me all about it. And you never know, I might just get around to answering your earlier e-mail, should have done it ages ago

May do when I have a little more energy! Been drinking rather too much and for wrong reasons last couple of days so have not tonight - its just feels as if I have!

OK, I'll be around as always if need be. Just look for your nearest gutter, I'm the one singing in it.


BTW you're only third on the most frequent list ATM - you're slipping !!

Maybe I should concerntrate on h2g2 rather than msn then!

Also thought I was in a non chatty mood so surprised I am up there at all

You do msn as well as h2g2!

Just what is your typing speed?

Err - yes if there are some of my friends there - and usually more than one h2g2 window too

Do you msn?

I have no idea what my typing speed is - its been for ever since I was last tested!

I don't really like instant messengers that much.
One, it shows off my lack of typing speed and accuracy.
Two, as I'm an AOL user the browser interface and thingy is really cumbersome to work with.
Three, most of them go *ping* in a very annoying fashion when something arrives for you

I do have msn and ICQ installed should you wish to use them. I always ignore all AIM though

I have not used ICQ - do you find it good?

Hmm... put it this way, I don't get messages saying, "Hi honey I've not seen you around for the longest time. I am so wet and I want you right now babe." with ICQ. I did with AIM. Thats why I block all messages on that channel.

As for msn, well I don't like adding to Bill's profits if I can help it. I mainly use a variety of hotmail boxes and once the spam gets to much I bin it and move on.

A very popular stratgey!

What, saying "Hi honey etc" or bining off Mr Gates?

Trashing hotmail accounts when Mr Gates people allow too mcuh C**p into it!

So, Curiosity Killed The Cat...

Well this was a number of years later when that particular beat combo were at the height of their powers. They were booked into the main University venue for a gig one evening, but during that day I was organizing a welfare training event in some of the offices and meeting rooms in the same building.

This meant that I was coming and going from the venue all day long. The band's fans were a right pain as they were trying to get into the place, so I had to carry a security badge to get access. Now over the course of the day these youngsters assumed that I was something to do with the gig and kept asking me questions, and asking me to get them in to meet the band, etc etc.

I got so bored of this that in colusion with the security guards I decided to play a trick on them. The plan was that security would call me into the venue urgently, where upon I would take a mobile phone call in full view of these kids (this was in the days when mobiles meant you really were a somebody) and then go outside and make a tragic announcement to them all.

I went out there and I told them that there had been a terrible car crash and that Ben what-sis-face was in a critical condition in the hopsital on the other side of the city.

They fell for it. Gasps, cries, tears all over the place and they all b*ggered off to the Northern General Hospital.

What a b*****d hey?
