"Good looking young female secretary needed. Must have large, um, amounts of experience with faulty office equipment and short deadlines. Pay DOE" Thanks guys - I think Dave's ad is the nearest to my, er, requirements ;-) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Nice choice Nick - about the only Hot Chocolate track worth listening to And not a bad idea late at night. Or after a long and very dirty night shift, when the rest of the world is getting up and one is getting back to one's hotel thinking "How many coach parties will I upset walking in like this" and "I hope the shower doesn't black again like it did yesterday", and "Can I really face another 'Full English' instead of a nice rare rump". Success in those days was arriving in from work, having the shower, going down to the restaurant and being handed the evening menu instead of the breakfast one - some really strange looks as the waiter came out with the fresh mushroom salad for starters, followed by the steak, then a really nice light lemon soufflé to top it off, definitely a Hilton chef showing he can do what the customer wants.

Or after a long and very dirty night shift, Well someone has to do the job of turning the street lighting on then off during the night, people seem to think it all happens by pure magic?

I thought they were switched on/off by pure magic - you've broken my dreams... Anyhow there was a hilarious event a few months later. A few months after spending three months living a nocturnal life style I had to go back to the same hotel (Its a real hardship having to stay in Hiltons...). I walked into the restraunt at about 7:30am and was greeted by the same waitress that had been so good at finding evening menus during my previous sojourn "Good evening Mr.Smith, if you care to wait a few moments I will find you your menu". My colleagues couldn't believe my "breakfast" that day, nor the fact that I was only charged for a "Full Breakfast"....

I would use the past tense - I think she enjoyed the change of having someone who's native language was the same as hers (not English, but Scots), and was working, not on holiday nor at a conference....

No gig that isn't "really crowded" can ever be described as a "great gig". I've been a to a few "good" gigs which were quite empty and the band was on fire, but without am audience that is crammed in tight (no empty seat in the hall) they just can't get into the "great" status... Last two "greats" have been Runnig, one in Preston guild Hall, and the other, the same band, but outside at Scone Palace....

Sounds crowded and noisy, and no lamp posts It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Sounds crowded and noisy, and no lamp posts If you intend to go to one of these gigs with the dogs, John; then do remember to take a lamp post with you too.

I don't like crowded concerts either but I'm willing to make an effort just to see Muse. I once went to a Wilco concert in Londen, it was in 2002, the time they weren't that famous yet. There were only like 200 people but it was one of the best concerts I ever saw. The band really had contact with the audience. rOZZ Music Pictures |

I love the Status Quo concerts that I go to. Everyone gets up and dances but the audience are all over 50, but so well behaved !!!!! Only you It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
