My prayer for rain has been answered!

I don't know what is more annoying: snow or ice cold rain?
Snow makes me sad because it makes me feel old.
I remeber 18 years ago when I was studying in Luton there was freak snowy weather. And my whole thought process was "yay snow!" fell over putting the bins out in shorts and no shoes. Walked a mile to college when the buses werent running and spent most of the day having snowball fights. Then 12 years ago working in Birmingham came out of night club and it had snowed and again "woo yeh snowball fighty!" and even longer snowier journey home.
And now all I think is, hope I don't fall over and the boiler doesn't pack in.
Who'd have thought being a year off 40 would make one feel so old.

I know some people who are 100+. I also some people in their 60's who refer to people under about 45 as young people.
The two thresholds of age:
You stop being a kid when the feeling of a wellie-full of water somehow loses it's attraction.
You start being old when you no longer fall over, but "have a fall".

I am very pleased with an impulse buy of a mini-speaker this morning. It's only about an inch tall but it has absolutely fantastic sound quality, and not just for a speaker that size. I shall have to start making all my purchasing decisions on a whim!
Chip's just walked by a singing busker. No instruments, just singing. It seemed far more intimate and therefore infinitely more awkward than a standard busking.

If they were singing, "Don't You Want Me, Baby?" for example, then yes, it would be somewhat awkward.
Why is the royal variety always appalling? You gather all these talented people onto one stage from varying parts of this world we call show, and make them all look like amateur kakbuckets. It's like a cheesy festival of misery that has no ironic angle to make it enjoyable. God the Queen must dread this pile poop every year.

It does seem odd to put on a show for a woman by guessing at what would be appropriate for her rather than asking her what she likes. For all we know the woman loves Frankie Boyle and gangsta rap.

That's the problem its just a horrible jumble,they wheel on Brucie and Ronnie, a dancing dog and get David walliams to do his Frankie Howard impression. Poor woman she'd probably prefer a cup of tea and an episode of casualty. I bet her husband would prefer Frankie Boyle
