      Personally I shall be singing the Red Flag at noon.
      What an amazing coincidence.
      At noon this is the very song that I shall not be singing.

      Instead I might sing :

      When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
      We used to love while others used to play.
      Dont ask me why, but time has passed us by,
      Some one else moved in from far away. etc etc
      If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

        They do but it is not as we would recognise.

        Here is the line-up that I have to pick from at the moment:
        http://www.skytv.co.nz/Default.aspx?tabid=116

        I was watching the Super14 until twenty minutes ago, but Mrs Gonzo wants to watch Americal Idol.

            You on holiday or have you moved. And if so, does that mean you're Tay (And Spartacus of course)?

                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  I've moved. Mrs Gonzo is a kiwi and decided that it was time to go home. I might as well be not working here as not working in London.

                  You have similar options and I can recommend taking them (sooner or later, it is not the best time work wise at the moment). Do not underestimate how much of a shock it is moving out of London though. I think it will be another few months before I learn to be completely content not having the world at my fingertips like it used to be.

                  And no, I am not Tay. But of course I am Spartacus.

                    Well, Mayday here was quite good. Not in the league of Brixtofte and the tennis player, but still quite entertaining.

                      Mr P and I went on the town last night to celebrate me being home for a bit.
                      Had a lovely meal and lots of booze and watched some crazy Spanish(?) folk wearing bulls horns and firing fireworks from hand held tridents to loud drumming music in Albert Sq. Mad and stunning are two words to describe it.
                      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
