I don't think Hungary will go through. Singing a simple song in your native language when it is the hardest to speak in Europe is probably not a great strategy for breaking out of the semis..

Well, that goes to show how wrong I was. I expect Hungary's Finance Minister will be having nightmares tonight.

Amazed about Israel and Bulgaria! Wow!

I think Champagne on me tonight, as 3/3 of ours are through to Saturday.

Quick Press Conference, and we're Euroclubbing!

But you and whistley ARE a we.

My remote and I are not a we.

Well. It depends what sort of renote it is and how involved you feel with it.

An interesting thing might be a study that looked at singletons comparatively. I think we know friend ship groups are important. I also suggest that for many sex might be. And if not sex, sex hormones. So a study that might be interesting would be the single celibate by choice ( couples too can be celibate mind), the single celibate but frustrated, the single with a sex life and the singleton with a satisfactory solo sex life.

In case this requires clarification, pink whistley and I share no sex life, apart from in a voyeauristic capacity if she has got bored licking her toes or whatever.

You don't speak to them in the bank, just hand stuff over and say "Paying that in", then they do stuff and you leave. Generally, I probably speak to a person at a till once a fortnight and have a conversation once every 2 months or so. Although, using those self-service I only ever talk to the machine (they drive me nuts, so I am usually swearing at them, telling to "Shut up I am trying to get the soddin' stuff in the bag ... wait, you're too impatient.".)

You CAN talk to them. 'Those are nice earrings' leads to a conversation, for example.

Some headlines are sooo funny.

Try asking him if that is the 'gay ear'. The plastic screen protects you as well as him!

When I opened it immediately above the headline there was an advert for a burger with meat and ketchup poking out of a bap.

Perfect juxtaposition, that's what I call intuitive advertising.

I think my head is about to explode. Going back to ShakespeareShire next weekend, and I decided that my mum and I should have a spa day (our birthdays are close and she's feeling a bit down at the moment). I'm fine with splashing out, but want (/ have an inner need ) to make sure I book the best value. There are so many options! And that's before considering more than one place.
I feel like I need some pampering just to get over it

Yep. Choice paralysis. You spend so long trying to get the best value/deal that it's too late to go any more
