Yeah, good idea!
I think it's quite wierd having a websie with photo's on. (though on the other hand, we have a personal one.. still, seems different though. There wouldn't be many strange people on that.

My work has photo's of the management team. I think it's just scary, check it out:

Makes them all look like creeps(when in reality, only a few are. Most are nice, and look better than on the photo's.

Must have been strenuous exercise if you've managed to get that sticky and sweaty in this weather. Your thigh's healed then?
Yep
Someone sent me some cyberkisses to make it better

I've been walking in the hills.

Well what's the good of cuberkisses? You need the real thing, G. Or Mr B's tried and tested groin-strain cure.

Were the hills alive with the sound of music?

Had that as well

No music. A bit cold and dreary apart from the song in my heart

When I've got my permanent contract (about 15 december), I'll tell em they need to update their website(actually, the whole logo and everything needs updating...), and tell them to get rid of the photo's (or make better ones!)

Good god, G! You did well then.

Is the song in your heart a bit like the voices in your head?

It's amazing what you can do with digi photos and decent software these days.....

Voices, songs, it's all the same. I talk to myself in my head. It's probably disturbing.

Better get back quick - I'm only here until 3pm.

Well it wasn't anywhere really. Just a house slap bang in the middle of the fields. But the nearest place with an actual name was Fressingfield (in Suffolk).

I've heard of it....

I grew up in the middle of nowhere so I know the feeling! House surrounded by fields, not even in a village.

I loved it. As a child, living in London, I thought it was paradise. As a teenager, I might well have lost my mind there - but then who would have noticed the difference.

Yeah, I never lived anywhere else but in this house in the middle of nowhere until I was 16 and went away to school in Cambridge. As a kid it was the best place on earth and it wasn't that bad as a teenager, although I was always the designated driver for my friends because I lived the furthest out. I could play my music as loud as I liked without disturbing a soul, so it wasn't all bad! My parents moved after 33 years and I miss it more than I ever believed possible.
