the thing nobody is talking about
 
Is it reticence? Consideration for the innocent? Do we not give a toss? Does it matter, I mean, at the end of the day after a particulaly turbulent rollercoaster ride does one not, as a family, as a family of 5 or thereabouts, does one not care?

And if one does not care, as a family or individually or undefined group of persons linked by a common lurve, then where is one?

You might think that, but you would be wrong. Well not so much wrong as imprecise,

I don't think she's Israeli. Judging by her accent, more likely Latvian.

Had some memories of a Czech woman I once knew. She said, "So, are you in luff viz me yet?"

Re: the thing nobody is talking about
 
Well they talked about it on 98.7 (The Way We Groove) radio on Sunday, "Do you listen to dancehall or rap ?" you see this is the sort of question that people need to know the answers to. About 10 listeners phoned in and one of the dj's then announced that 97% of people listen to both types of music. and people on this site have said that Canadian radio is no good, those sort of questions are being ignored in some parts of the world, not here in Canada though.

They do play some good stuff although Sunday's have a bit too much Soca for me.

I'd imagine the lookalike gigs have somewhat dried up since the move over the pond. :(

Probably just as well, after that incident in Thailand with the lady boys...

I just googled foreigngirl and in the little strip where they show images for 'foreign girl' the first image is that of a nice looking blonde woman of about 35 with a bottle of rose-eh in one hand and a glass in the other.
Further research shows this to be a review of Foreign Girl wine from China done in 2008.

You don't see much of Melvyn Hayes these days, which is a pity because It Ain't Half Hot, Mum was one of my favourite programmes as a kid.

Comedy programmes don't seem to have room for the funny simpery ones any more, I blame Elton John. No, I mean Ben Elton.

Isn't he dead? That might be why? :p

No, he's not dead, he's the economics correspondent for News Night.

Here is the excellent and informative interview he did yesterday:

That's probably more down to the cheese.

Yeah but with Canadian cheese you don't get quality nightmares.

In 1983 I lived in Kitsilano, Vancouver for a few months with my favourite old aunt, and I'd go out to bars and come home, watch the late movie and have some snacks, etc. I discovered one night that eating a whole can of Nalley's Picante Dip (then a small local company), would cause me to dream in vivid colour, so I started doing it on purpose.

Whereas things are appearing in increasing clarity before mine.

That is the first post I've ever typed without glasses. I hope there aren't any typos.
