Nice and sunny in Queretaro here, but cold at night and in the evenings. Got my work's xmas do later, then work tomorrow am. My boss really knows how to organise things Enjoy the upcoming weekend all !
Morning all. 9C here now and sunny with an expected high of 24C. Mrs NZ has been away for a few days so I have been in sole charge of the children. It's been fun. She may come home today unless she is having too good a time. She's been to see a Belgian couple who have been here for 30 years. One of then has just got NZ citizenship. The other was refused it because she has too many speeding tickets! They don't tell you that when you take your driving test.
Just read on another forum that the whole Sheff Wed match is on there web site player and you can sign in with your Watford player sign-in. I wonder what I'll be doing tomorrow morning.
Glass or three of Montepulciano watching Beach Boys 1980 at Knebworth on TV...pleasant way to end the day...
Thought it was about time that I bought theo's book. Downloaded the kindle thingy onto the computer, then found the book having been directed to Amazon.fr. For roughly £1 at the current exchange rate it was mine, but I did wonder about the economics of it. Can this be fair to the author who has spent countless hours slaving over it? Started reading, but then discovered the problem. Unless I am on holiday I tend to read for a little when I get into bed and it is not the best idea to hold a laptop that needs two hands. I will not buy a Kindle as they seem to only have a life of about 12 months from the reviews I have seen. I think I will have to change my reading habits.
What you do, Frenchie, is connect your laptop to a data projector that is pointing at your ceiling (assuming that you have a flat ceiling). Then all you need to do is touch the arrow key to turn the page. If that is a problem I believe that you can get bluetooth connections that will enable you to turn the pages under your sheets.
NZ - you are soooo naive - OFH lives in France - mirrors on the ceiling !! ( to say nothing of the pink champagne on ice)
Can vouch for all that NZ, the OFH's are the talk of their community,although partly due to his wearing of Cliff Holton T-Shirts around the Rues
i've been at the hospital all night..just nipped back for a bite to eat and a shower...she's holding on...to be honest..i wish she'd let go...it won't be long now. i won't make the match this afternoon...so Dan, i expect you to give an extra cheer or 10 for me! See you all soon...
Big H, will be thinking of you this afternoon when I am at the match thoughts are with you and your friend
Great result for England v NZ. Wish more had stayed at Twickenham for the women's match - England are 12-0 up after 15 minutes.
Shows my interest in the well known typographical error. I didn't know the All Blacks were playing England. As far as the press here will be concerned, the world will have come to an end. China could invade and it would only make page 2 of the papers.
There must surely be a few wanting to sooth their throats! Reading through today's results, Torquay's late winner against Dag & Redbridge was an og by Ogogo - how appropriate is that name?
Nah, the Chinese never invade - they take over by stealth. You'll only realise that they have when you check the 'restaurants' section in the classifieds.
I don't know if I should say this. I dont think it is confidential but to be safe I will be vague. China is sending some of its brightest rugby playing prospects to NZ Universities to improve their team for when rugby is in the Olympics.
