Night h-h. I've been watching all about the Titanic. Some survivors were giving their accounts. Fascinating but terrifying. 707 survivors, 1500 died. Not enough lifeboats you see. I'm going to have nightmares now about icy water, grinding noises, icebergs, peregrine falcons and poor little captured bunnies. It's been a traumatic evening for tv and I've only watched two programmes!!!!  |

Nightmares about grinding noises? You've been listening to too much Sorabji!
A terrible night for TV indeed. I've been watching those Campbell diaries. What a testosterone fuelled lot they were - far worse than Thatcher! Just shows what stooges those "Blair babes" were.

I was watching those as well - bearing in mind the language, do you think Quentin Tarantino or David Mamet might employ Campbell as an associate scriptwriter? |

Certainly! I couldn't imagine John Major talking like that, even in the company of Edwina.

PS
I've never fully understood your signature about Robin ordering 400 chocolate bars. I don't remember seeing that in any of the episodes.
it's from a crappy australian kids programme one of my daughters was watching. (what an awful sentence!) it made me laugh! as for the crisps, i'm not sure i want to lead you down the path marked 'coronary', so how 'bout carrots instead? |

i gave up completely about 3 months ago and, do you know, that there is not one moment out of every single day where i would kill someone for a drink.
I've actually put it on my list to start drinking (at least wine) some time this year. The reason for this is the same as the reason I also might become veggie (maybe 50% probability) before then as well: to get the moral high-ground in a discussion with my soon (Christmas) to be brother-in-law. OK, almost packed now.
Just got some sandwiches to make and then I'm done (also I'm loading my iPod up with goodies: the new Ferneyhough choral CD and a recording of a workshop done by Ensemble Exposé of an unhatched project called Significant Others which I haven't listened to since it was recorded in November 2003...)
Bag's a bit full and everything else will have to go in a plastic bag (the bottle of champagne in the bag doesn't really help matters) but it'll do.
Oooh lovely! |

What I want now more than anything is a packet of crisps. But my doctor told me to cut down on salt (high blood pressure) and I haven't got any in the house.  I sometimes eat Walkers Salt'n'Shake without the contents of the little blue packet - though there's probably some hidden salt in them. I've got used to the lack of salt and enjoy the satisfying crunch - a sort of faintly healthy compromise! Though they're oily aren't they, so probably almost as bad for you.  |

MJ, I used to eat those without salt as I'm not keen on salty food.  |

I love salt.
I'm hoping that I've inherited my Dad's constitution (he was told that he couldn't take part in a clinical trial to do with the heart because he was too healthy) and can continue to eat a moderate amount of salt for the rest of my life.

A puzzling sentence from the programme notes for a concert I'm going to tonight:
"Schumann had to fight a long legal battle to marry Clara, the teenage daughter of his teacher, and he permanently damaged a finger."

Well time to pay for my good time. Because I watched the Prom till 10 and then took the dog out, I've been washing and ironing ever since and still have another couple of hour's worth of ironing to finish before bedtime. It was however well worth it. (Impossible to do all this during the day with a houseful of kids so night-time is the only time). |

There were unconfirmed reports from Transport House of occasional duelling with paperclips during the Winter of Discontent and one wonders if RS fell into one of these altercations in an earlier era. |
