    DG.That is not a bad commute. I drove dd for an hour to take her to school. Her friends who travelled on school transport all seemed to have a better journey. I think they woke up and socialise on the bus, and wounf down homeward bound. She and I had too much time in the car and were pretty awful to each other... for five years.

    I didn't know he kept lesbians. Were you showing the photos?

    I was always quite impressed with that Dutch lad that kept his finger in a dyke all night despite it getting wet. I saw a film along similar lines on the Internet once.

    Sounds deathly dull. Did anyone come in the end to relieve him?
    I think....

    Thank you. The thank you button still doesn't work on my phone. I do press it, the number of thanks goes up, then immediately drops again.

    I did think because it's a school bus and having lots of friends around, it would be more fun than just 'a bus'.

    15-20 minutes to the bus stop. Then another 15-20 for DS. He has earphones in most mornings atm. Then 15-20 minutes home.

    It could be worse , you could be a banker.

    Could be even worse.

    After 13 years at JESC (I've been around since the very beginning in 2003), this year will be my last.

    Having seen how hard the 'core trio' have worked in turning the contest around, it now seems like it's going to be sold out to one of the big 4 labels for their own personal gain. To say I'm fuming is a complete understatement.

    3 weeks to get a decent tender in, when the opposing party has had the best part of 6 months (for 2 of the contracts)

    The towel is back on my shoulder, and on top of everything else for the next month, as long as it's possible to keep the 'big 3', it's game on!
