... I was waiting outside for my 'other half' to return from the Ladies! There isn't much to do in that situation other than find something to GRUMP about! OK? Baz  Ah, a common problem. The solution is to say to your partner "Shall we go [home] then?" and when she goes off to the ladies, you buy yourself another drink! |

For much of the time, I find this site is responding so slowly that it's becoming unusable. I don't have any problems with the rest of the internet but I find I have to wait a very long time for a page to load, if it ever does, and this has been going on since Saturday. I do hope they fix the problem, wherever it lies.
This is odd, Tony. Apart from two occasions over the past three weeks or so, I have found this site very fast indeed. Certainly thus today: a matter of a second or two for a page to load. |

The Emperor suspected they were right. But he dared not stop and so on he walked, more proudly than ever. And his courtiers behind him held high the train... that wasn't there at all.

 A This doesn't really solve things A. As you can see, the only note she is actually playing is G. Now - if memory serves me correctly - isn't that the key-note of "O why are we waiting"? Baz <grr> |

Or the National Anthem, Baz A Absolutely A! Now doesn't she just LOOK as though that is exactly what she is playing? I can see it in her eyes (among other things). Baz |

I don't know what we are talking about, partners, toilets, bad English. You don't have half problems I have.
I don't like unreliable playing partners. They don't want to come to rehearsal because they are busy, the piano is too expensive to rent (plus the hall). Pianists have to practise much more than the rest of them (especially wind players, they get away with murder by not practising, they don't need to because they can sight read everything).
Interntet is slow and it takes long to load pages.
In one word: everything is bad (well in three words). Everything is bad. I am going to have myself something terrible to eat (a boul of worms I suppose).
And my English drives me mad. Now I made mistakes with worms (I wrote warms) Then computer wants to give me pictures of warm up. I need no warm up, I am sizzzling.

`it's obviously a terratorial behaviour as it wasn't their area!` Same thing as dogs peeing on a lamp post. Although cats do that as well. And some humans come to think of it. Might this be better behaved......?  Hi Morticia (sorry it's a bit late!) - a Strombus gigas - now protected in the Caribbean due to it's apparent rarity (apparently, it's not and you are allowed to collect as many as you like to eat but try and export one and they'll get you). I already have 3 which I've had for years! |

I used to have a pet Stag Beetle when I was about 10 but it escaped. May be that's why I started on shells - they can't escape due to being a> dead or, if still alive b> very slow. They had a snail race at the BSCC editors day 2 years ago and last year they found one of the contestants - he'd not got very far! Anyone in the York area on the 14th of April? If so, it is the Amateur Entomolgists show (commonly called the "Bug Show") is on at the Race Course. You may also see a selection of fine shells for sale... |
