She went this spring SJF.

"Over-capitalised" is the expression. I'm very sorry she's gone, and I miss her and her daughters. Being famous is no substitute for income > outgoing.

Yes, it's just up the road from here. I know her quite well, though not in the biblical sense. Ginzan is a ripper place. Traffic-free, with hot water piped through the main street. Trout (not Mersey Trout) swimming in the river.

Jenny was the face of Ginzan Onsen. She was the only blonde haired-blue eyed mistress of a classic ryoken. Now she's bunked off to the USA with her two daughters. Don't fancy hubby's chances of getting custody. That reduces the Yorpeens here by 33%. It's me and Bruno. He's French so doesn't count.

Gambatte CB. Don't wear the burden. Some people are shite looking for somewhere to happen. Suggest they try someone else's doorstep.

No1 son is 15 and supposed to be spotty and petulant. In fact, he is a sensitive ace boy. Magic. He doesn't get it from me. What I was you are. What I am, you will be.

Oh yes. God is Buddha's friend. It's good karma.

Abdullah, he with the cloth on his head.

Yes TSV. I have all the worldly failings, but nothing I am truly ashamed about. If it comes to interview time, I'm going to stand my ground.

Having to explain all your actions to God. Man. that's going to be a monster interview.

That's the best thing about Norwich. Good diet or not, they're going no-where. It must be a terrible thing to support perpetual loosers.

They could always transfer to Man City. Or Spurs.

It's not a proddy thing TB, it's a puritan thing. Front face is at the kirk on Sunday. Back face is being totally smashed on potato spirit. Scandiwegia is just like Scotland, except without the sense of humour (PM me for details of freeze-distilling)

In an other life, I was offered the job of being roadie for Acker Bilk. I turned it down because the bus could not turn 40, let alone 70 Jazz is the son of blues. Hendrix played blues.

Morning. bright and cool here. I have completed my day's task and cleaned the 3rd floor bog. Memsahib will be in Tokyo at a food festival, for the next 4 days.

It's the hair. He needs to spend less time in front of the mirror admiring his greasy barcode. It was quite clear from the hair that in Italia 200?, Italy weren't going to win. (Pearl Italian/Oz and I had a "discussion" about this). I was right, she was wrong. Preening in front of the mirror and the copious application of hair grease does not a footballer make.

Ever been to Scandiwegia sanjo? Believe me, it's worse. I'm being kind.

Cool and cloudy. Nice pot of tea, nice.

That way, if it all goes tits up there won't be any recriminations. Basically they are projecting their insoluble problems onto you rather than taking responsibility for themselves. I don't see how you can be expected to carry t

Shouldn't you be passing the buck too? Are there any mechanisms within the school or social services to handle this kind of problem. You are a teacher, not a social worker.

No idea. I use the keitai as a telephone (radical!) and computers for the interweb. As for bills, the memsahib pays those so I don't have to bother my pretty head.

"Packets" are normally fixed "lumps" of data. So, the transmitter sends a "packet" of information marked start and finish, or just of a known size. The receiver reads the start and finish, or knows how much data should be in a "packet". It then compares the theoretical with the actual size of the data packet and can tell whether something has dropped out or not. If the numbers match, the system can proceed. If not it will revert to some exception handling routine to recover the lost data.

Make a list. Order it from the worst task to the least-worst task. Complete No1, cross it off the list and proceed to 2....

Goody I don't use the term "capitalism" as a pejorative, and it has its place in a mixed economy. The emphasis needs to be on "mixed" though.
