I had to watch three matches (two in Germany and that at Stamford Bridge.

I'd thaught, the gunners were back and concentrated more on supporting my team (won 2:1 in Berlin) and a more local one (draw) ...

Besides that ..

This is good-

A grumpy Gov't spoke (as in spoke in the wheel) has just been on telly talking about hiding the fags in shops because they tempt young people into buying them when they are displayed and when you look at the display there's five rows of SMOKING KILLS and a stand-out one with a skull and crossbones.

Maybe Freud's death instinct is not as daft an idea as it sounds.

This Gov't seems to have one.

Good afternoon UK & Europe et al

Mac - hope your glasses are fitting your face more comfortably now :wink:

Thank you, Izzie, not so bad now. Maybe my face is fitting my glasses better.
I went back to the shop twice, to have them fettled.
A fairly silly and un-involved assistant saw to me both times (I nearly asked for her to be replaced, second time, but I'm too polite) and I'm getting used to them now, thank you.

I saw a bit in a programme about Haiti with a witch doing some mumbo-jumbo over the Beeb's travelling piss-pot and gently beating him with a bunch of twigs. It was to make sure, she said, that he had a wonderful year to look forward to.

Why the incantations only work for a year they didn't say.

I hope he gave her a tip big enough to compensate her for entertaining millions of viewers for ten minutes on a par with the one he was getting.

Mac- you can't really expect an optician's assistant to become involved with a silly chump like you. I once bought a pair of reading glasses off the shelf (£2.99), alas those predictions of Father Hall were true after all, and I have worn them from then until now, at least ten years, without the slightest difficulty or one murmur of complaint.

And jobs like she has require at least ten A-levels so how can she have been fairly silly unless you are making a serious criticism of our educational system?

For the money I pay to get the glasses I need, I can certainly expect better attention than that particular young woman gave.

Okay if you can get by on the kind of reading glasses you may get in a Xmas cracker.

I find the girls (one girl in particular) in the dispensing chemist to be equally surly.

"Name?"
Address?
First name?
do you pay?
enter your pin
(no hint of a please or thank you)

last time she didnt even give me the prescription. It was left on the counter in a bag so I took it then checked and asked if this was mine...."well whats your name?" the silly cow said. Professional...not. These are local girls. The Polish/Romanian/Czech girls could not be nicer. In an unintelligible way.

Nobody "rudely interrupted" me. Sorry nobody. I was just in full flow and fired up with Nani's goal.

So Spendi could you explain please to a simple soul such as myself why the Archbishop of Canterbury should be so animated by fossil fuels?

As the Queen's, and the Nation's, spiritual guide it is expected of him.

He would look silly sat in Lambeth Palace and having no opinions on anything.

If he has said something foolish on the matter you mention it should come as no surprise as it is impossible to say anything on such a subject without being foolish.

There would soon be questions asked regarding his upkeep and that of his staff if he remained unanimated about the burning issues of the moment and there would be no point in having synods either and that would be economically destabilising in the environs of Canterbury's pleasure spots. Such a prospect might require smorgsie to be transferred to the Job Centre there.

Not too many Brits on show, here. Easter hangovers? Too much chocolate? Feeling liverish? Poor things.

Anyone see Hamish McBeth last night? Anyone watching Damages?
Excellent.

Russell Brand made the connection between oestrogen and Easter in his humorous newspaper column recently. Quite clever, if he thunk it up himself, but then he's a clever bloke under all that hair and bling.

certainly fossil fuels are the burning issue of the moment. Please tell me this was intentional humour.

That is certainly true for those people who do not live the carbon heavy lives we lead, and especially those who live near sea level.

As for those who engage in such things as international air travel, motoring and temperature controlled living and working spaces it is more a twee affectation than a burning issue. It is an excuse to have a burning issue ready to hand in order to sound a responsible and caring parson when the fact is that they are irresponsible and don't give a flying fornication about the matter.

I understood the last phrase, will think about the rest.

Right I'm going to Newcastle tomorrer. Anything worth seeing up there? I've been to the Gateshead Armadillo.

Not seen Smorgs for a while, probably busy with the paint roller and screwdriver. Is that strike over yet? Must be someone who can tell. :wink:

Let's have a general strike. It's not fair that smorgsie can have all the fun of being on strike and the rest of us have to carry on as normal.

When MPs are trying to avoid how they got their fingers in the till by voting that nobody should know it is getting time to ask the generals to step in and restore order.
