Oh no, I get so upset about doggy things. Hope he is okay 🙁

Oh. Your poor muttski xxx

Not the dog of death! Poor Sam 🙁

🙁 about your dog. ryn: hair dyeing is all a matter of just going ‘sod it!’ and slapping the stuff on. i always do that and it’s never failed me. heh.

Hopefully he goes out painlessly.

I’m sorry about your dog! :(I didn’t know those Cadbury box things came with a baking tray. I have a postman pat muffin mix thing in the cupboard, I wonder if that does too.

Ref Dan Treacy. The album sleeve contains the URL of my site. And I got a free promo copy of it.

RYN: Somebody did go and get me a card. It was nice. The best employer I worked for (the episode of Niall and Deanna) had the cake bought for me, a card and a bottle of champagne (the champagne was slightly minging) but still champagne. The fact it only had 80 UK employees and was German family owned might have had something to do with it.

Ryn: Thank you. You are kind. You know I almost baked a cake mix last night and thought of this entry xxx

Confusion: Him or me? What’s it to be?

04.10.06 I didn’t like being called an adolescent :o)

Why you little…. *strangling noises*

Ta for the message on that there space site. I’m terrible with responses, so I may as well let you know I’m here as well.

Stop leaving notes calling me an adolescent, or I’ll tell my mum, or get my friends to ignore you or something.

I’ve answered your note on my own entry. So much more sensible. But yes, very cold up north. Bare legs are perhaps not such a good idea. I’ll be rummaging for my wollen gloves before too long, as my fingerless cycling gloves were too cold. Damn, left a long note after all.

RYN: Nah, it was the Bradford one, it is only 2 minutes from Joannes house 🙂 Sorry to hear about the dog. Still 14 is a good run of things in dog years, and I am sure it lived a happy life in those lovely pennines.

It was Saffron in P-l-F that we went to. Service has improved since the first time.

RYN: Thanks for dropping by. I’m touched at the fact that you did read ‘old Moor’ entries! I forgot about that entry. I meant another one where I aimed to achieve ’30 things’ before I turned 30 (e.g. taste caviar, visit South America, write a business plan!). Hope you are keeping well in the world of media!

RYN: Well it was only officially a two bedroom flat, but they turned the living room into a bedroom so split the rent three ways…and it was a good location but not really the nicest flat in the world, haha!

16/12/07 Yeah, bloody emu’s making a comeback. Rod Hull’s son has taken on the beast. I saw them on GMTV this week. What a truly crap act that thing is. I hope he climbs on the roof to fiddle with the tv aerial soon… and takes the bloody bird with him.

RYN: A G/GG cup isn’t big? I must have been mistaken. To be fair, that’s a fairly inaccurate picture for showing the bloody things, but trust me, they’re bad enough!

Yeah, well, 32. So we’re probably about even (I remembered I was still wearing my sports bra in the pic which seems to squish them quite a lot haha). I guess they’re not like…42G, no. Then I would be scared (and probably quite large all over!)

A GRAND A MONTH?!?! Well, thats London for you. People aren’t exactly flocking to go to Bradford, well not people from the UK anyway. Still, I will agree with you my place is a bargain for the rent I pay.

RYN: Notice the second part of the sentence “…just to put a rocket up the %rse of the mainstream parties.” However, the danger of that (I do realise) is that if enough people did that (not just enough for the candidate to not lose his deposit or to scare the other candidates), they might win and we all might be down the drain.

RYN: Dear Lord, I think I would rather NOT remember when I was 16! lol

Believe me, the obsession is mostly fiancee induced, but still I am looking forward to not pissing rent up against the wall, and actually being able to make a place our own.

Having visited Swindon, I can’t say I’m in a hurry to go there again. Luckily the M4 goes right past it without stopping.

Haha, I was. I don’t know, the first time i venture into that place in months and someone spots me! I don’t know what you look like so I don’t know if I noticed you or not!

RYN: I don’t know if I come across as sexist or not. My mum’s family is an example of ‘girl power’. My grandmother (mother’s mother) had a degree and worked as a education lecturer (teaching teachers) and was more educated and better paid than my grandfather (a priest). However, that came in handy when he passed away relatively young (just before he turned 40). Similarly, my grandmother’s older sister was one of the first women to get a maths degree so I’m not agreeing that a women’s place is in the home. However, I suppose from my grandmother having to work, my mother believed that staying at home was the ideal, so in my head, I feel pretty useless if I can’t ‘provide’. RYN2: I always wonder about the what-if. However, at the time, I had a colleague who knew a few people from media (from her am-dram group). She did give me some warning. Whilst on the one hand, it was life changing for some (that Jon Massey bloke), a lot seem to have returned to whom they are. I’d like to think that I have changed. However, a program like that would have most probably fast-tracked the change.

RYN: Yeah, I suppose it’s safer – provided I don’t get p1ssed because I forget to spit the wine out and fall over whilst drunk!

RYN: You never write so how do I know my life is more exciting than yours? 😉 And on the 19th September? That would be me…god how weird! Er, were you the one sitting with the bloke and also grimacing at the noisy kids?!

RYN: Yes, maybe! Reading about Sir Oswald and having flashbacks to the TV series based on his life in 1997, it seemed that he got around as well. What was his secret? (At one point he was with his wife, her younger sister and their mum!)

RYN: Theoretically, they could have imprisoned me on desecrating a holy place. It’s a bit like setting fire to a church, urinating in a Sikh temple or something like that. The current president is in power because of a coalition with a party called the JHU (which literally translates as the ‘The Buddhist Monks’ Party’) and recently they have passed the following law against Christianity: http://www.csw.org.uk/urgentactionsrilankaanticonversionbill.htm

It is kind of ironic that the first president that brought in racist policies (in 1956 – Bandanaike) kind of changed his mind and fearing that a Buddhist monk assassinated him. So given how Buddhism is practised in Sri Lanka, I’m a bit sceptical about the merit of it as a religion.
