Okay.
a) I made some life changing decisions on my own (for once)

b) I didn't go and see the Banksy exhibition in Bristol cos I'm not a bender.

c) Apparently I'm not as rude a drunk as I think I am, meaning that people from here, who I've met, still read my posts.

One of the greatest players we'll see in our lifetime, but he was seriously losing it.

She was a gem. I fobbed her off onto someone else after a few months - I think the final straw was when I dictated (this was in the old days when you did dictation and secrataries typed it up) the sentence "Liability is disputed" and it came back as "My ability is disputed."

No. Or lets say it's extremely doubtful
Because the frame of mind that led to it snowballed throughout the US in the 20th Century, reaching it's apogee in the Reagan era.

Bringing us back to your question, because Reagan in 1950's Hollywood was president of the Screen Actors Guild, which was an active anti-left organisation.

Most years are mental. I think I'm cursed. It's how I end up with so much QOTW fodder.

i share your pain
although my issue tend to revolve more around flashing people or falling off my high heels etc. i put my disaster-attracting abilities down to sheer lack of organisation and common sense.
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 0:42, Reply)
I can't even risk high heels, high heels would be a step too far.
I envy your high heel wearing (falling over notwithstanding) and hope to one day follow in your footsteps.

i can only wear the really sexy/pretty high ones at work
or on evenings where i don't have to stand/walk around too much.

otherwise it's trainers/flat fuck-me boots all the way!

I wear 'fuck you' boots.
I even kept my steel toe-capped ones from when I used to dig shit up for a living.

Dunno, I never check anymore.
I posted one line last week and made the Best Of, which is further proof, should it be required, that standards have fallen over there. Sad times.

I just made some toast
You can have some
(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 0:50, Reply)
best thing to put on toast?
for me, the toast has GOT to be piping hot, not v well done, and dripping in golden salty butter. the sort of delicious dish that i will not be able to eat all year, fucking new year resolutions...

as hungover students
my flatmates and i would hunch around the toaster on a sat or sun morning, frantically toasting and inhaling slice after slice of that.

gah, i'm getting starving here!
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:01, Reply)
Actually, I like it when it's gone cold and soggy too,
as long as it was correctly toasted and buttered in the first place.
(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:02, Reply)
oh no, here we part ways
cold toast makes me heave. hotels NEVER get toast hot at breakfast, it is a major pet peeve.
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:07, Reply)
Yeah and it's like cardboard because nobody caught it and buttered it

Brown or white? Not that I mind, y'know, I'm colourblind when it comes to bread, man.

(I helped save b3ta! crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 0:53, Reply)
I have both
The brown is a little tiny one from the bakery.
The white is bog-standard.
(I helped save b3ta! Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 0:57, Reply)
it is a sure sign you are getting old
when you choose lovely thick granary bread over the white stuff you preferred as a child.

this also applies to ready salted crisps, which i would have scorned in younger days, but which i now seek out as they go better with my middle-class mature houmous...
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:00, Reply)
Aw rats, I bought ready salted for the houmous too.
But I prefer it with pitta.

hot pitta is awesome
my favourite london restaurant, "as greek as it gets", does mini buckets stuffed full of soft, hot pitta which has been lightly brushed with oil and sprinkled with herbs. we then get whipped tzatziki, houmous and spicy feta dip to go with it.

/orgasms just thinking about it.
(I helped save b3ta! rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:06, Reply)
Ours does spicy grilled feta
But I can't go there any more so they can shove it and I'll make my frigging own.

Green olive bread and lemon and coriander humous.
The middle-class lunch of dreams.
(I helped save b3ta! crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:04, Reply)
good houmous choice
although i think my favourite of all the houmouses is the pesto topped one. mmm. pesto.

this being said, i do dip monster munch in it, which is neither middle class nor mature.

I don't like olive bread
It's just too olivey.
I like houmous with paprika, but too much coriander bugs me as well.

I don't care for olives either
But I will eat olive bread.

On a pizza though? Olives can fuck right off.

I can now eat green ones
and kind of enjoy them. I have to be in the mood. I've always bought them for Tigger, and occasionally nibbled, so that theory of trying something a few times might work.
Black olives still scare me.

Olives for a cat?
Maybe that's your problem. That stuff in a box that says Whiskas isn't olives, you know.

Don't think the big guy will be with us this time next year.
He's OK, but he's really slowing down and he struggles with the stairs so he spends his life downstairs now.

If I could get a kitty stairlift I would.

It's a good job mine are insured
I've more that got my money's-worth this year.

Big Ellie is 12, but he got run over when he was a kitten and his pelvis is held together with metal pins.

The vet has told me that they'll deteriorate and I think that's happening. I could be wrong - he hates cold weather - but I'll watch him.

I love him dearly but I'll not see him suffer.

Bedtime.

I have a sense of deja vu here (or possibly it's just a flashback) because I had a row about the virtue of olives with someone a few nights ago.

and a new "family health initiative" this month. Oh, and one of those "I saw you coming" shops where a couple of yummy mummies buy vintage china from charity shops and then resell it at 650% mark-up.

2/ Saw Seasick Steve AND Catfish Keith in the same year!
3/ Started posting again - albeit sporadically

2011 will be better.
