Month: October 2001

Vaughan begins year two with a new look and new job. Nice.

Busy this morning, so no updates so far.
And nobody has had a go at the competition since the clues were posted.

A long and fairly unexciting day that saw me get up late, go to work and then on to Maidstone to give a lecture, then drive back through driving rain to a large heap of washing up (serves me right for being lazy). And some college homework. Guh.
Lacking. Motivation.
Must. Force. Self. To. Act.

Someone I converse with on AIM, who I think should keep her current site and stuff the people who know her that read her site. I do. It doesn’t bother me.

Following on from my comments earlier this week, W2, *has* seriously lost it. Tonight, Oasis was being played on the stereo at full volume (bad), the draught beer was off (like, all of it, not just one variety – very bad) and the place was full of blokes who can only be described as “wankers” (very very bad).
So, beer in the Nags with Dave, Tim, Terry, the delightful, if dimunitive, Cath (hi!), Paul F, Cat and numerous other volunteers.

Having just enjoyed lunch with my sister-not-in-law, Jane, I faced a choice, Michael Buerk stylee:

• do the washing up
• defrost the freezer
• clean the flat
• head to the park with a good book to read, peoplewatch, and enjoy probably the last sunny and warm Saturday afternoon of the year

OK, not the toughest choice I’ve ever faced.

Not one, but four competition clues:

• a band, not a solo artist
• British
• male vocalist
• from an album released in 1994

Keep the guesses coming. Band *and* title needed to win the prize.

In the time-honoured tradition, beer with: two Pauls (F and C), two Julies, two Fionas (ok, admittedly I only saw one Fiona briefly), Simon (have a fantastic wedding!!), Jeremy, Dave, Gary, Tim, Jackie, Clive, Hilje, Arron, Helen and countless other people. A good night, although free of scandal.

If you think the weather where you are is bad, be glad you’re not on Mars.

I’m up for it.
