h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

is this about anyone in particular, or just a general combination of everyone who thinks they know better?

Having had my mother-in-law to stay for the weekend (who will become a grandmother in the next six months or so) I get a distinct sense of deja vu - she's already talking about... MUSIC LESSONS!

Good grief!

It's a combination of comments, some said in winking jest, some with loaded overtones, some outright rude.

I find it facinating that some of the people who say comments like this I have seen actively campaining for women's rights in the work place. Yet at seems that, on the home front, they snigger at the slightest change from the traditionally accepted norm. LOL

*jumps off soapbox before a passionate speech ensues *

... and what is wrong with music lessons Clovis?

I can be gentle... honestly!

How lovely to see you are online again

Hello my dear sweet Shazz. I will fill you in on what has happened lately, in an e-mail. I watched a biography show on Genesis last night. I was thinking of you and TM, wishing you could see it too. They showed some wonderful footage of a very young Peter Gabriel. "Supper's Ready", "Stagnation", "The Lamb", "The Musical Box". It was wonderful. (I almost need a cold shower just thinking of it. )

That sounds wonderful
I will be waiting for your email

I really would like to send you a cd of Tm's band... I think you would enjoy listening... Monsy and quite a few others thought it good anyway

I'm sure I would love it too. He has such good taste.

*My dogs are sitting here, nudging me to take them out. It's very stormy here today. I hope you will still be here when I get back.*

I would love to hear it myself shazz .

Hi Wowbagger. How's it hanging?

Don't get me wrong Shazz! (and my Mum used to be a violin teacher - I've got nothing against the tutors!

Music lessons at the right time in the right place are fine, but they will be our decision, if we thing it's right for Bump, not because m-in-l thinks they are a sign of good breeding in the family!

I don't feel I can make any lifestyle plans for the child at this stage, so I'm certainly not letting anybody else!

She put my other half through miserable years of piano lessons, because she felt it looked good, even though he was clearly unsuited and unhappy. It was only the arrival of a younger sister which let him off the hook...

Wowbagger and Mrs W are making a decision based on what's comfortable for the three of them - what a good example

Clovscat - still regaining her temper after the mother-in-law's visit...

Hi alicat and Cloviscat. My why a pair of hepcats you are That goes for you too shazz

Things are hanging fine . Three weeks into my 10 at home and life is tickety-boo. I'm off to meet Loonytunes and F-Reek at the first Queensland, Australia h2g2 Meet and I'm as curious as a hepcat to see how that's going to be LOL.

Two Australians and A NZ'er at the first Queensland Meet eh? That could be fun!!!

I am sure if you trust me with your postal addresses I can persuade TM to send copies to you Wowbagger and ali

You would just have to be patient as the general pace of post is, for obvious reasons, rather slow.

Shazz... into the third day of the Dutch Meet and still alive! I can't be drinking enough!

Your Meet has gone for three days and our Meet had three people. Crickey! The similarities are endless!!! LOL

Need to know what that light is and were the other person is, or is it GOD I can't tell.

light = interrogation
voice = interrogator = visitors

Ah, I see, make more sense now, It may have just been the long trip back from London that Parsed my head for a minut.

Thanks
