Very, very stupid and sleepy. I'm doing a newspaper round again until tomorrow. But up to then... last Tuesday I visited my boyfriend and missed the bus stop on my way, so I had to walk an extra 5 minutes (and it's 30 minutes from his house to the bus stop).
And Thursday was worse. I missed another stop, by train. I needed to get out in Den Bosch, but I was too concentrated on my puzzle and didn't notice the train stalled until it was too late. So I had to travel for half an hour to Utrecht, from there to Nijmegen, cost me an extra hour. Worst part was, when I was travelling from Arnhem to Nijmegen, that it would have been better if I got off in Arnhem and took the bus from there.

Interesting, DED.

Current mood:
:crying: My childhood hero, John Inman, passed away this morning of hepatitis A.

DED - 9-3-2007 at 11:43

Are you being served is stil running on "Een". That is the former BRT Belgian Radio Television (Flemish) and yesterday there was an episode of AYBS onRTL7, a Luxembourg based Dutch Commercial TV Station. After that undoubtly BBC will after his passing away replaying the series again.
So since I believe 1971 the AYBS is broadcasted over 35 years and still pleases a lot of viewers. So without doubt for the next ten years we will see reruns over and over again. In a great mix with
Young ones
Yes minister
Please sir
Keeping up appearances
Dad's Army
Mother, it's hot
Man about the house
George and Mildred
On the buses
Blackadder
Mr. Bean
The Thin Blue Line
The Royle family
CAfe Rene in france, forget the name....Goodmuhning
And many many many more of those beatiful English sitcom's.
They are the masters, Brittannia rules the VHF/UHF waves:mad:

But then again a question.
What was the name of that funny serie that follows up Please Sir and where the Guy who played the teacher in Please Sir was having a restaurant? I can remember the serie but not the name.

BBP - 9-3-2007 at 14:28

'Allo 'Allo you mean... not something to look forward to seeing again IMO...

Do you mean the Fenn Street Gang? Or the Please Sir! movie?

But I did not mean the Fenn Street Gang. Stupidly enough I mixed something up in my mind. It was not the follow up to Please Sit but the follow up of Man About the House. And then I mean Robin's Nest. I oonly see that once but that is surely not enough.

I made this today at the request of my father. He will use this for a tape recorder fan meeting next Saturday. It's a patch knitted out of magnetic tape. I had a hard time making it, with ugly and annoying material that tears easily and slides off the needles a little too soon (but if you drop a stitch, you can pick up).

aquagoat - 12-5-2007 at 10:17

haaa, I totally understand what you feel, bonny, my girlfriend living 700 kilometres away from me, we see each other about every month, hoping we'll be able to live together soon. I hope it'll turn out good for you.

BBP - 12-5-2007 at 18:09

Is that the other side of the country from where you're living? Sure is a long distance...

aquagoat - 13-5-2007 at 08:34

yes it is, I'm on the West coast near Cognac (if you know this town) whereas she's on the North coast, near Belgium. but that's ok cause it only takes about 5H30 to get there by train, and we ain't got the choice right now anyway.

BBP - 13-5-2007 at 16:35

I know Cognac... we've been in the region of La Rochelle... may have even been there.
You sure live close to Fort Boyard!

My boyf is from Bulgaria, which is a beautiful country with lots of forests, some 2000 km away.

aquagoat - 16-5-2007 at 12:36

yeah, I'm now very far away from the fort, but I haven't visited it yet, don't know why.
Bulgaria is really a beautiful country, but yes a bit far from where you live. Is moving an option ?

BBP - 16-5-2007 at 13:04

It's crossed my mind, yeah. Get some money first, then live it up. Bulgaria is the cheapest country in the EU. It's also nearly as poor as Romania. The mafia is very big too.
And visit Fort Boyard! It's beautiful! Fort Enet too, it's near there and sometimes appears in the closing film to FB.

DED - 22-5-2007 at 21:06

Moving?
Antoher room for reel to reel machines ?
Or do you claim your room as your sister does

BBP - 23-5-2007 at 09:45

I'll move to the spare guest room and leave my room for ya.

aquagoat - 24-5-2007 at 06:13

I thought more about his moving to the Netherlands, actually.

BBP - 24-5-2007 at 21:09

There's this thing about Bulgarian families: they're incredibly tight and loving.
Also he owns ground, on which he grows kiwis, a very large garden, and an old water-mill his great-grandfather built. He has big plans with his property and he's not going to give that up at any cost.

BBP - 31-5-2007 at 20:56

it just got cold and rainy here all of a sudden

can you stay in and have some warm soup?

Batchain - 21-11-2007 at 17:11

I busted my ass! And it's still sore! I ran over to the couch and flopped on it. Had the wireless laptop going, fell asleep in a "twisted" sort of way and the rear pelvic bone at the bottom of my ass cheek is 3 days sore and I gimp around when I walk. Why? I've got a pain in the ass! Now I have that "cold coming on" feeling all over and the dark, drizzly, cold doesn't do much to raise my spirits Tylenol? Nothing! Alleve? Nothing!

Don't worry! I won't post a photo to match my mood! :regan: <---just this smelly smilie thing here. (Yech!)

BBP - 22-11-2007 at 21:37

Yep... did you notice he's called Regan?

(There's a story behind that. A lot of the smilies that came with the forum, went by awkward names, like rsvd. I left some of them intact for the fun of it.)

Get well soon Batty! :kiss: (If you don't mind, I won't kiss the sore spot.)

Ahh, OK. I understand why no ass-kiss! LOL!:D

Oh, is "Regan" named after the Linda Blaire "Regan" character in "The Exorcist" or how it makes you feel if you think about dead ex-US President from Hell (An FZ designation I sure wouldn't argue with!) Ronnie Reagan?

It's somehow appropriate that to hear that song the very day that bastard died! Think of a US Prez going to the graves of Nazi SS elite and honoring them! He should have been flogged! (Although I don't suppose "G.W. Bush" would have any trouble doing the same thing, the maggot! "77% disapproval rating from Americans" and that slime keeps on as if every day is a sunny day.

Maybe "W." could saddle up his horse and scout around the area for his bin Laden buddy -- after all, Saudi Royals and the Bush Family are oil billionaires. Or are we supposed to forget that minor detail about Osama now that Saddam is dead and Iraq is becoming so stable? :pissed:

BBP - 29-11-2007 at 17:21

How can they be sure Saddam is dead? There's 8 of him! Maybe there's a spare Saddam living in Helmond (not Iraq, but in The Netherlands, not too far from Eindhoven and about as much fun as Helmand), waiting in a dark corner to revive himself, become a president and make a paid parking lot on every field.

Hah! There's one for every one of us! They take the money from rich, influential developers and give them the OK to wipe out every grassy park and put up a 5 or 6 level paid parking lot! It's "money + politician = more money from you for developers and politicians." There's a slimy creep everywhere for every political office!

Ahhh... the sneezing tiger is gone... :umm:

Today I'm minorly frustraded because of a cold, low temperature, other physical inconveniences, and not being able to work with WebCT. Our teacher put all our stuff-to-read on a blackboard, so only students of the subject can read it. But IE wouldn't download it, and Opera kept on jamming.
Eventually I read one of the articles. 14 to go before my test on Friday.

Thanks to Opera and the foxit reader. That is really making a difference. Adobe is dead slow.

Yup! You guys got what we did. But here there was a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain all ending up as snow.

The dog, actually my sister's, all 13 lbs/5.8 kg of him, can't make it through the snow and as good a boy as he is he chose my kitchen - right inside the door - as his litter box so I'd best be careful as I walk around barefoot. I almost wasn't quick enough twice!

I don't know if I like this at this time of year but Sunday it's expected to expected to shoot up to 52°F/11.11°C and rain heavily. Right now it's 24°F/-4.4°C with 6.5" of hard, packed snow on the ground. Shit! If it were only bright enough to get a picture of it with my cell phone I'd shoot it and upload it. ;-)

Whoa... snow... Today I did regret not taking my camera to Utrecht. It's a picturesque city, with narrow curvy streets and beautiful 17th century buildings. Seeing the cathedral all snowy is gorgeous.

But is it just me or do catherals just look creepy, no matter what angle you shoot, how the weather is, or how it is lighted.

punknaynowned - 22-12-2007 at 02:49

today we got what you will get sunday, batty, minus the rain. Nice and warm, low 50's F/low 10's C. But the temp will drop tonight and a mother of a storm is supposed to settle on us here in Kansas. Cold, snow, wind, more ice, brrrrrr.
I just went out in my barefeet and it is still warm . . .

the thing I like about cathedrals and such is that they are REALLY OLD. Which I understand can make them seem very creepy. Makes sense to me.

BBP - 22-12-2007 at 13:25

Now, if you can find a REALLY OLD cathedral in Kansas it's the only place to be in the event of a tornado -- if it "really old" then it's been around awhile and that's a hint it'll be around a lot longer. :D

--Bat ;-)

BBP - 29-12-2007 at 13:29

I was wrong bytheway: there is at least one church that doesn't look creepy. Instead, it makes me feel hungry!



In the category "Learned something new today": the Red Square is not named after something Sovietty, but after this St Basil's Cathedral instead. The Russian word for red (krasnaya) also means beautiful, and this was the nickname for the St Basil's Cathedral.

I love the bit on the Simpsons when a hurricane passes through Springfield and then the church billboard says: "God welcomes His victims".

It's a good thing cathedrals are storm proof because you wouldn't want to get hit by a flying steeple. :freak:

BBP - 29-12-2007 at 17:42

Actually, not always. Most large famous cathedrals in N/W Europe (France, Netherlands, Belgium) were built in the Middle Ages, without very little architectural knowledge. Many people have passed away while these buildings were built and collapsed time after time after time. It's how gothic style was invented, where those hideous spider legs are used to build larger structures with the infamous long pointy windows.

The finest example I can come up with is the Dom in Utrecht. The Dom has the tallest church tower in The Netherlands, and this tower is the face of the city. It's everywhere.
In the 1500-1600s, this cathedral stretched a distance of 95 metres.

But now, there is a 50 m large gap between the tower and the rest of the church. 50m of church inbetween, over half of the structure, collapsed during a fierce tornado in 1674. Many churches in the area collapsed.
The Dom was never rebuilt.
For pictures and explanation, ckick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Saint_Martin%2C_Ut....

For nice pictures (and a truly lengthy tale), try the Dutch version.
