<HTML>Sounds like a song by that pop pixie Bjork.

Except she's got a funny set of dots above the o, and I can't remember how to do that.

It is indeed quiet. I assumed that you'd been OME'd and never to be seen again.

Lovely weather up in Leeds, how is it down south?</HTML>

And so peaceful and still...

<HTML>Evesham appears nice, through the exceedingly small office window.

Have been little quiet due to not working - was ill.You know the excorscist spinning head of vomit? That, except spelt right. Also lack of Bea, lagered up weekend etc...

Asked girl of dreams for a date. Can't remember the answer, can't think of sensible way to find out without admitting to her that I was trollied. Oh dear...

Bjork = Bjonkers. Decent music though, occasionally anyway.</HTML>

<HTML>I'm baaaaack!!!!! :D

Ben, why didn't you change the stupid head like I told you to?
Suggestion for date situation: sms her or call her and say that you didn't remember, but you'd already had something set up for when you'd arranged with her (no need to mention date lol) and ask her if she minds terribly going out with you on day X at place Y (that now you'll be sober enough to remember ;)).
Only bad thing I can foresee about this strategy is this 'second' date being exactly on the same place and date of the first, by a strange coincidence LOL

Dave, ö ehehehe
I'm glad of the lovely weather, here too :) how's Eddie?

(oh, I like some of Björk's songs!)</HTML>

I knwo she's going to the same party as me on Saturday. I've got the hair dye booked!</HTML>

Any chance of me seeing you as traffic light in a pic? pleaseeeee...

(and didn't you say you were sick just by looking at the stupid exorcist style head? oh wait... that was what Dave called the ome head... not you... you were really referring to the Exorcist movie... lol)

And... Poet Cetera? Brother to Peter Cetera, of 80s fame? LOL

<HTML>Sorry, eighties references are highly liable to pass me by... (*whispers* - it's an age thing...)

Never seen the OME head, having listened to your wise words I changed from default before I actually had to suffer.

will try to sort out pic, when it gets done.</HTML>

<HTML>*rubs wounded shin*

I know the eighties had great music. Indeed, the highlight of my first month at uni was seeing Black Lace perform 'Agadoo'.

However, eighties references are still lost on me from time to time, even if I did own sweat-bands, covet those little yo-yos that came free with coke and worship Fraggle Rock. I can even remember some plots to Superted. But then, these references are probably for kids of the eighties... *snigger*</HTML>

<HTML>Hmm. the youth of today. you'll be telling us you don't remember Mr Benn next...

Blimey, Peter Cetera. That brings back memories of poodle perms and school discos. Not that I had a poodle perm, mind you.

Eddie's fine, thanks for asking. Causing general mayhem after being abandoned this weekend with only Grandma to look after him. She feeds him biscuits and chocolate, it's practically child-cruelty. And she let him play in the garden and take all our cds off the racks.

I caught him dancing to 'S-Club Juniors' the other day. I've had to force feed him a diet of Bohemian Rhapsody and other classic tunes to try and break the habit before it forms fully...</HTML>

<HTML>Of course I remember Mr Ben - only share a name in common and stuff. But that guy in the shop was his dealer, right?

I remember school disco's. Boys against one wall, girls against the other, occasionally a detachment of girls would attempt to drag a boy over to the otehr side shouting 'my friend fancies you' before dropping him next to her, at whcih point one or more parties would go 'uurgh'.

It's a great regret in my life never to have been targetted out by these hit squads, even after they matured into hen parties...</HTML>
