I hope it keeps dry for you :cross: I'm quite envious - I would love to see Gogol Bordello live!
I saw them about 2 years ago at Brixton academy. They are so entertaining/funny! :D

We've just had new printers installed which require pins when printing as well as a balance of how much you can print. My balance is 0. :(

When I was out for my walk this morning, a man - a total stranger - stopped me and asked if I had text on my 'phone because he wanted to send one! I didn't have my 'phone with me anyway but what a bizarre request! For all I know he might have tried to run off with my mobile. He didn't even say "please"!

May be he was trying to chat you up? o/ Although in this day and age, have to be wary of strangers with strange requests...

Well it made a change from the usual abusive remarks/non-jokes I seem to attract - always from men - with my Nordic Walking poles!

hmm very bizarre Ms Thrify. A stranger got out of his car today and started running behind ours. When we noticed we sped off. So strange ... the world is going mad.

Oh no! Just about to start an important piece of work and I can't find my memory stick. :wall:
I've searched everywhere - hope I've left it at work. I feel sick :X - there's such a lot on that memory stick, all valuable to me.
