i did not think it was at his expense. it was not in any way tailored to him.
i just imagined a person who was continuously checking to see if their father had woken up, when in fact they did not realize their father was actually dead.

How am I going to tell Mum? Someone who I think is too old for me and not fully my type might like me? And how will I turn him down without upsetting him?

I used to love watching the equaliser on ITV.

I'd roll in on a Thursday night with a Chinese takeaway. Plate it up and take it to bed, roll myself a bifta and sit there in bed all nice and warm, watching Edward Woodward as The Equaliser.

Good times! :D

I've got way too many bookmarks on my browser. And I actually use them too.

Gee, additional school days to make up for the ones lost by the snow and/or cold. I don't envy the students.

i have so much fun trying to compile a visual representation of what i like, but very often, there is no body who is interested in what i show.

i am going to spam some links to some videos i created recently. i am not going to embed the videos because i understand that it is visually confronting to have to scroll through slow to load embedded videos.


so, i like to drive standard cars as fast as they can be driven and i have found a way to record them.
from slowest to fastest.

i am sure i have already posted the first few of these clips, but whatever.

this is in the bernese alps with a VW beetle. 1 lap. i am flooring it most of the way.
it is a stock standard VW beetle. no upgrades.

here is a 1940 model ford coupe with a 3.6 litre side valve engine that produces 70 hp around the same track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqGf5XTY ... hWBxJ7ja7g

so here is a hudson hornet (1950 model) around the same track (beautiful and capacious car)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00_nrPpQ ... hWBxJ7ja7g

and here is a 1957 chev with only a 289 cu inch V8. it is my favorite car.

a faster car is the 1963 impala.

At orchestra tonight.
We're going on tour to New Zealand later this year. One of the fundraising initiatives is a wine drive, and we've all just been given a list of wines/prices, and told to buy some or tell our friends too.
I turn to my friend, the other clarinettist, and say
"Well this is useless; I don't drink wine or have friends,"
and he just cracks up laughing.
