I do it via photobucket. It's free. Upload the pic to there then it gives you links and you pick the ne for message boards.

So... I've made my prime-time debut on BBC1. Didn't manage to see myself I can't believe we spent all day (a long day at that) sat in the cold for about 3 minutes of screen time in total.

It was good again tonight (Hunted). To me It's about the best thing on.

I have always said my taste is eclectic. Could not be more different to my training. I like trance too, tremendously. Two of the things I most wish I had been able to work on ...i listen with envy....are both trance.



You know dh and I met when both working in the music industry? It was not my 'home' classical, and it was not his jazz world. We were both laying stuff down for someone else to fiddle with.

Hmm - DD1 started the piano this term and is so in to it and has even started writing her own compositions - however you definitely doesn't get her musicality from her mother or father so perhaps we need to get some adoptive godparents to teach her to jam?

I hope you told him "About bl00dy time! Now get your idle 4rse out, get a job - and start looking after ME for a change!"



Congrats to your DS1.

I am so uneducated and distanced from education that I didn't even know you could get firsts in Masters'.

Is it a vaguely numerate subject as we are really struggling to recruit at the moment?

No. I don't tend to remember my dreams anyway though. Only the ones where you drift off back to sleep (then they are very vivid and quite strange).

Are you a mushroom and mouldy cheese person? I daydream about some of the NP but that is a bit different

Michaels it is excellent she is already thinking musically and writing her own compositions! Really excellent. Confidence and enjoyment must be well in place to provide a cushion for the practice and dedication required to progress.

It's also good you have started her with the piano IMO. If she maintains desire she might want a second instrument once she has a few years and grade exams out of the way. Dh's parents were very keen that his should be the cello, which he never much liked, but gave hima good foundation for the double bass which he did like and it was only in his mid teens i think that he saved for a sax which is what he had wanted all along, but his strong musical training meant once technique was established he was not struggling musically with it and was performing very quickly with that. Mean while, his siblings were also directed to instruments they had little 'draw' towards and they followed the more normal course of never picking them up again when they did not have to.

To be honest I think it is terrible! I think the acting is pretty crummy, and when Melissa George speaks I am distracted by her trout pout

But those bits you saw (if you weren't blinking) in the lab - I dread to think about how many hours I've spent down there (they are underground).

Glad you're enjoying it though. Bet it cost enough (I didn't get back enough to pay for a year's tv licence).

Mushrooms yes, mouldy cheese not so much (I like stilton and broccoli soup but that's about as far as it goes). I can eat cheddar shortly before bedtime (if lacking in discipline), and not be troubled. The only real time I remember my dreams is if something is really bothering me, then I will dream about that which is quite annoying.

Omg I must try post a photo of the dog. People are so pathetic about their animals and I am, sadly, no exception

As to music, I am tone deaf, everything sounds like an ice cream advert to me. It's the words that matter which has made me the unlikeliest rap fan on the planet.

The iPad doesn't lend itself to links but in my opinion here is the best musical talent Britain has produced in the last few years
