Yes, Bryn, I had counted you, having already seen your post at the other place.
Eru: in that case there's no obvious explanation I can offer, I'm afraid.

I take it you have seen my more recent message there re. a viable edit point just before the appearance on stage of Asterios, too. Good to be able to save a version got DVD-Rs which does not resort to transcoding to AC3. |

Yes, I have, Bryn: and having already produced a standard, one disc edition, I'm now away to create a triple set.

My goodness, are'nt some people interferon!?!?!?
When people come to you and you had'nt much sleep, because of a rowdy hotel you've been in on holiday, and so your just one short of a peg of being quite ratty, at a band job on Brighton seafront and going on at you for getting on with the banners for the stands!! You just dont need that. Iwas just having a drink, as it was quite hot, keeping hydrated, I lost it, big time, and this woman, well, I threw the bag in the opposite direction and said you do it!! OOOOOOOOOOOO, some people, she is normally ok, very nice but on this occaision, made me loose it!! The banners are part of my edit as Band Manager. I was going to do them, ok, but when this woman decided to put her awe in, I thought, O my God(!!). What a week and what a day!!!

That's quite a rant bbm.
I've always been one for flying off the handle, normally at the trivial things. The big problems mount up and mount up, and I cope. I'm stressed but I cope. And then someone hasn't taken their washing off the line despite the fact that it's been dry for a week, and suddenly I'm shouting and stressing all over the place.
I'm a lot better than I was, and now that I know the relationship between my level of hunger and my level of anger I can avoid a large number of unpleasant scenes. I find it useful, whenever I find myself getting agitated, to try to look at myself from above if you like; in the third person. If I can then see how absurd my getting upset is about (for example) the fact that my fishcakes are crumbling, and that it has more to do with the fact that I'm hungry and overheating because I'm cooking over a hot hob and it's the middle of summer, I'm more likely to laugh than explode.
Oh yes, and delegation is good. That's a lesson that I learned about four years ago. I'm still not very good at it...

Ooh! I have a rant!
I was just serving my dinner up last night when I glanced out of the window only to see someone taking a comfort break up against one of the bins. In broad daylight. I'm not being unrealistic, I realise that when you have to go you have to go, and I don't think that there's necessarily anything grotesque about the act of urination (though it is fairly unpleasant to think about the sanitation issues) but you'd think that people would realise that they are not exactly shielded from public view.
Time to move.

Ooh! I have a rant!
Late one night while I was living on a houseboat in Amsterdam, I stuck my head out of a porthole to find out what the strange noise was (the boat could have been about to sink) and nearly got a stream of it in the eye. I think the micturator was possibly more surprised than I was though. |

Camille Paglia once said that there's no surer indication of the phenomenon of penis envy than when you see a queue of desperate women waiting for a public toilet, clenching their cheeks and holding themselves between their legs frantically, whilst their male brethren just pop behind the bushes. (Do hope you feel better soon, Milly) |

It's not actually that difficult for women to relieve themselves in the great outdoors, especially if we're wearing skirts. Even if you don't have particularly strong thigh muscles or knees, all you need is a wall or a tree to support your back. The problem is, you never know if a man has visited that wall or tree before you got there... Yuck.
When I was in university, my friends and I would point, laugh and shout "it's so small!" at any males drunk/foolish enough not to seek a hidden spot in which to rid themselves of their liquid waste.

There was a woman squatting behind a car on our street when we were walking home last week - upon seeing us seeing her, she got up, very flustered, and scampered away quickly.

Life is so simple for men. The world is just one big urinal! It is though the only benefit of being male, Milly. Just be grateful you don't suffer extreme anxiety when negotiating revolving doors or the constant fear of being surprised by Strinasacchi and friends shouting 'It's so small!'. It's not all one long stream of pleasure, you know. |

Whenever I'm doing the business in the country, I always seem to be unlucky with the people who walk near, who almost invariably seem uncomfortable with it. Just because they can hear the leaves rustling! Dog-walkers especially, I fear.
Something about going through airport turnstiles sideways seems to be in order.

Ugh, airports. I think their metal detectors have been adjusted sensitively enough to pick up underwire bras. I can't otherwise account for being beeped every time I travel, despite removing my shoes and never wearing any jewellery. And they also seem to have retrained their security staff to give very thorough friskings. Getting felt up by humourless security guards in the early hours before I've had enough coffee while my colleagues are waiting and watching is not my idea of fun.

That famously happened to my wife walking back at 11:30pm from a country pub on the outskirts of Coventry. She was squatting between two bushes. She didn't realise that the city buses came out this far, and a fully-lit fully-occupied double decker drew up at the nearby bustop giving all the passengers a grandstand view  |
