    Alan was driving me mad - turned over to Greatest Sitcoms... it's not looking too great, but it looks like it might be a bit less tedious.

    I'm now enjoying Queen on BBC1, having had Gosford Park on.

    Might as well stay up and see the fireworks now :D

    We're watching Queen with Adam Lambert here.

    I know it isn't time yet, but happy new year to everyone who posts or lurks.

    Ok. I see it now.

    Yes, I'm more likely to be the sub :). Whether I'll submit is another matter ;)

    Oh, there were some cushions on the sofa in the pic that I saw, but I think they were just dressing. Wasn't sure whether they came with it or not. They are only the small square ones, so would be easy to change if they did come with it.
    I doubt they come with it - cushions seem to cost an extra arm and a leg (£35 or so!!), I've got some beachy blue/white covers I could slide straight on if they did. Else, I'll pick up some inserts for about £2.50 apiece at some point.

    I wasn't specifically referring to anything regarding the happily married Michaels!

    In fact I was referring to submitting my thesis to the University of Wherever (as you all well know) rather than any kind of 50 shades of grey nonsense :)

    I'll still let you know if and when I submit - my thesis :) I'll probably also let you know if and when I see any action. Don't hold your breath on either though,

    Not long now to "the thing" - about 10 minutes or so. Turned off the outside light, had my last cig for the night (it's blowy out there in your PJs).

    Random fireworks have been going off here/there, although I can never see any from any window as I've dashed round. You'd think people'd let them off at midnight, but there've been random sounds since 8.30 or so.

    Anybody got any strong feelings about "the best channel to be watching at 12 on the dot"?

    Maybe I should have put out a swift advert in the last week for "Babysitter available at exorbitant prices - teens only as I can't cope with real kids"

    BBC1. London Fireworks.

    Happy New Year to you all, and your pets/families and other stray attachments, waifs and general strays.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)
