Karmacat: To Infinity And Beyond!

Well I go missing for a couple of days and you have gone ballistic. Fantastic news on the dancing, so glad you enjoyed it. Hope the internet improves for you soon. I too learned of TADA lists from Cheery and I love them. I really enjoyed your explanation of what one is. Now when I do my TADA lists I will forever have a vision of Morecambe and Wise. They did make me laugh so much in my youth. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face on this miserable wet evening.

Well done KC for giving them what for!:beer:

I am with virgin media and the service is v slow sometimes but we are v rural you need to test what your maximum speed is. OS has just become a virgin cable user in Cardiff and keeps bragging how fast it is.:mad: I do have a dongle for emergencies when virgin is down but that can be slow too as it all depends on the signal which is poor round here.

I need to stay with virgin because I need to keep my email address but having seen fibre optic laid in the road just 200 metres from my house to link the business parks I do feel like digging a trench and tapping into it - I just try and remember that it is so much better than dial up and even better than trying to load a game on a spectrum with a cassette player - am I showing my age:o

Is there any other way to feel when being witchy?

Hello! Busy day - well few days actually - popped past to say hello!

(same silly socks but bit of a name revamp needed - )

Cherisong - it does feel ballistic, actually - I've never *chosen* to do social things 3 days in a row before, not for more than 20 years. And it felt great! The Morecambe & Wise thing just came naturally - and I too remember loading a ZX Spectrum with cassette tape, don't worry! The sense of victory I got when I followed an exercise and got it to play that series of notes from Close Encounters was fantastic!

DT - yep, it had to go down that way with Rich Dad whatnot. As for Virgin, iplayer gave up the ghost the first weekend it was in, and said that the download speed was less than 1 megabyte per second.... not very good. If cable is only 200 yards away.... oh, I'd give a lot for a cable connection again. A lot.

Hello Pippi, you *have* been busy, haven't you! I guess the name you used to have was a bit close ... I'm glad you've kept the same avatar, for now at least - tells us who's there!

I'm off on adventures soon - and then back nearer end of the month. (That OK!?)

I was young and niave when I joined - used my bogstandard user name for alot of things - I never knew how much of a family I'd be involved in and like you say bit too close...................

Hence the change well that and european problems:rotfl:

KK - I didn't realise it kept going that long, I though Spare Rib only belonged to *my* youth, not yours too!

OK, so what's Spare Rib?

I am a bad, bad person who is not a good fit for the Rich Dad Poor Dad programme because I don't listen :cool:

You mean you don't roll over and do as you're told. That's a little different...

The fact that after 40 minutes he wouldn't tell me how much the coaching programme cost, and deflected every other concern I had (e.g., me: my preference is for written information. Him: " we don't do classrooms"), that kind of stuff was a bit of a deal breaker for me.

Not knowing how much things cost is a deal breaker for me too...

I'm obviously an evil witch that wants to stay poor, because I don't want to say yes to paying an unknown amount of money at the end of the phonecall.

What was this "coaching" session all about? And how did you step in it?

I'd really like to make £1.5 million in 18 months, but I'm also really unsure that leveraging the banks money from absolutely nothing for huge great property deals is the way to do it. It would certainly make *them* rich, from my fees, but thats another story :rotfl:

We may be heading into a deflationary depression. I'm sure that taking on boatloads of debt is not the safest of courses at the moment.

Oh, the other thing he said - he knew I wouldn't be a good fit for the programme right from the start, because I said at the beginning that the interview was mutual, that I was interviewing them as much as they were interviewing me "and we don't need help". Um, being interviewed isn't the same as being helped - its being asked to explain yourself. The quality of the conversation was not high ...

Sounds like he was all talk and no listen.

So where did you shove your broomstick? And would you ever sit on it again after A&E remove it from him?

Ooh, you bloke, you! Spare Rib was a feminist magazine. **The** feminist magazine - named after what made Eve from Adam, his spare rib, irony, geddit? Its the only piece of irony in the whole 1970s women's movement, I assure you .... Necessary as it was at the time, its wince-making now

So where did you shove your broomstick? And would you ever sit on it again after A&E remove it from him?

Z, I shall treasure those questions forever :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I spit my tea and biscuits onto the keyboard, and it was worth it I can't believe you wrote that :eek:

And anyway, I love my broomstick
