Maybe he's actually doing some work (gasp!). I'm sure he's not though. I'll give him a ring and tell him we're missing him ;)

Well, dere's reasons for dat. One, I been workin. Two, my comp at work had a major glurk. Three, my wife reckons she wants to see me in the evenings ... so I've been spending the last two nights getting beaten hollow at chess.

Which is why, AAC & PSD, the JFf interview hasn't been edited yet .... I'll do it, I'll do it, I promise ....

Jeeze Jon, you gotta put the wifey in her place and explain to her you have priorities, man! (Just kidding, Mrs. B, I know you're good enough to let him out of his cage occasionally!)

erm, I haven't exactly been rushing to sort out the rest of it either... I'm on pills for that bit though, so may actually be able to pick up emails soon.

(This is not a joke - I'm currently hyperventillating every time I even look at an inbox, let alone being able to pick up the phone. Weird what you get hung up over, isn't it?)

As soon as I get the interview, I'll see how big it's going to be then, edit it and throw it over to you then. We can always blame the chronoguard...

If anybody wants to wirte a review of Microcon for the next issue?

Eeep. I really want to do something for "Whatever Next", but I have almost disappeared under a pile of lingerie.

Haha. All right. I was going to do it tonight. But. There have been a couple of pints in the Swan. And I'm halfway through a bottle of Blanc de Blancs. And listening to Sgt. Pepper on headphones. And singing along to it.

You don't really want Jasper's interview edited under these conditions, do you?

Hang on while I skip to the next track. Shut up George .....

If you tell George to shut up, you are missing part of the point of Sgt Pepper. (If any of the following arguments seem a little incoherent, it's because my nephew is in the same room, watching satellite and wearing out the battery on the remote.)

Try putting headphones on, closing your eyes, and listening to 'Within You, Without You'.
I used to find it rather dull as well, but while I couldn't call it my favourite Sgt Pepper track (go on, guess), it's a remarkable piece of music. Just sit and listen to the rhythms and the patterns. Let it weave about you.

Mediation, Indian music and Buddism were all coming into western awareness when Sgt Pepper was being recorded. The album was released right at the beginning of the summer of love. Pop stars and wannabies everywhere had sitars. Sgt Pepper wouldn't be part of its era without George.

Must go, qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix is on. George wouldn't want me to miss that.

Sarah asked "Haven't we had this conversation before"?
If this topic HAS previously surfaced in the fforum then I think that it must have been before I started reading & contributing to it...

I wasn't watching qualifying at 3.00 am because I am staying at my parent's house, and Dad was bemused enough at me not going to bed at 2:30, which was when I finally managed to tear myself away from the fforum.
Likewise, I won't be watching the race live. I'll have to tape it and watch first thing before family come round for Sunday morning visit.Simon wrote:

Precisely? I can't remember writing that either...

Skiffle asked though. Click on 'My Profile' underneath the last post or at the top of the multiple fforum page. Then click on 'Edit My Profile' and you can add a sig. It's best to add a row of *************** or ============ or ++++++++++ to mark it off as a sig though. The advantage is whenever you get bored you can change it for all your posts in one go.
