Ah, earlyman! Good to see you're still around.
It is possible to like Tories and I guess Boris is as amusing and humane (and erudite) as they come.
Just wanted to say have a fab time in Venezuela, but come back soon. cello x
Thanks cello, I shall certainly try my best (to enjoy myself and come back soon).
And earlyman, it is indeed lovely to see you.
Escape across the border to Finland? Don't mind if I do. Not too many Mexicans up that way I don't think, though.
Earlyman, have you stopped everyone putting comments on your blog......or(sob)is it just me?
Apologies, Pat, for my cuckoo-like behaviour, bargeing into your blog and using it for my own private stuff. I've just done it to Pash too.
Cuckoo away to your heart's content, cello. It's the internet - democracy and self-expression reign supreme!
Fair enough.
I should think so too. I do visit but feel pangs of frustration from time to time.
I guess we could just squat here for a couple of weeks while the ownere is away. I'll feed the cat and water the plants too.
Ooh stop it, cello - before I know it I'll be setting up my own forum!
No but seriously, feel free to squat here in my absence. I have half a hunch I may be posting from Venezuela, though. It's very difficult to keep me away from the information superweb. Even if I do have to outrun irate, gun-toting locals to get to the nearest internet café.
Hasta la vista then, everyone. Tengo tos!
Grease is rubbish, by the way.
Woo - they have the internet in Venezuela. Fantastic!
*shit - it's her, quick, move that sofa back*
Aah, Patroclus, how wonderful to hear from you so soon. What new colour? The walls? You mean you don't like aqua?
Yes, well, when in a 5* American businessman's hotel, do as a 5* American businessman on a dodgy business trip to South America does. Moving on into the wilderness today, though, and I forgot to bring an adapter, so radio silence will probably start to be observed very shortly. Unless I can fashion a Ray Mears-style connection from banana fibre and coconut husks. I'll leave you with a disturbing slogan from an ad on CNN: "All I want is arse and trips". How does one even begin to get into that state, I wonder? PS steel girder to the neck? Better watch out for thunderstorms, then.
Mmm... so what?
