Come into the BESHt youth club in town, all you sad and bitter crones.

[Ariesgirl]

Enter the darkened youth club, where desperate 30-somethings who have been TTC since the eighties determinedly try to recapture their teenage years: their snogs with Darren from maths in the corner of the disco, the waft of Impulse, the slow dances at the end of the night, table tennis tournaments and the queue at the tuck shop for black jacks, Panda cola, fruit salads and Wham bars. Bop to Ride on Time, Love Shack and Vogue with Madonna and we'll see if all those sweaty hormones and pheromones can do the trick.

rocket dust, manger, fleas and bald. :( shabby black and white.

Aww, poor thing, :( I bet he will make a wonderful pet, he will adore you for rescuing him. you HAVE TO.

What I can't figure out with ours, is that we have never in 11 years fed him anything from a tin yet he goes mental as soon as you get anything like soup or beans out of the cupboard. Is this so ingrained in them at an early age (he was 4 when we got him) or is it like a racial memory that they were born with?

I am at work and have just eaten an enormous amount of cake to console myself. :( I feel sick. Gluttony reigns supreme. Do the enzymes in tea break down the bad stuff that's in cakes?

Am liking the musical - if I had a single creative bone in my body I would join in making the lyrics. Am happy enough to join in with the tippy tappy dancy thing, though What Katie Did recently put me in an E cup. (WTF?! Am finding this very hard to believe as I still cling to the memory of being B cup) Bah, who am I kidding. This news will make you all prod me with sticks until I jump.

Oh - and StarryC - very nice on the Chandler-esque response. I also believe that dog owners who don't clean up after their dogs... Especially when they allow this to happen in the children's play area of the local park.

ps - I also want a cat. But am in rented accommodation, and the landlord didn't want pets. Also, we live in an area of feral cats, and any new blood may well just be eaten by the existing tribes...

I killed the fred! Damn that lack of creativity!! Back at work. As it's the weekend, no one is about, and if there was anyone to talk to here....? Oh well. I guess I have some work to be getting on with. Am off on hols tomorrow. :)

Oh well in that case brownb, allow me to be the first to say: "Relax and it'll happen on holiday!".

I bloody love car boot sales.

It didn't happen when I last went on holiday. I did drink my own bodyweight in Spanish rose though and had mucho drunkensechs. It was ace. Where are you going, Brownie ? Is it somewhere likely to make me want to stow away in your suitcase? If the answer is 'Bognor' then no.

I can barely type due to party (best one since, like, evah evah) hangover but just needed to acknowledge Cunty's musical genius.

However, straw poll - who knows who Dave Gahan is without having to google him? :o

Rocket. I have got the cat box out. I am going to take Tim to the vet. I think the end may be nigh... :(

Oh no, poor Tim!!! Waaaaaaaahhhh. I hope its not too upsetting dear boo ps I know who Dave Gahan is but you knew that.

Have a lovely holiday brownie Wine and funsechs sounds like a good plan.

We shall see. If I don't have to take out a bank loan to get him better then he may get a reprieve.

I don't know who Dave Gahan is. I am very ignorant in all matters of fame and fortune. Boo - am sorry to hear about Tim. That's the down side of having pets. (ps - hangover aside, how the hell are you? I was hoping last week or so that you'd finally kicked the lurgie.. yes?)

Holiday is in a family-owned farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. There's not much to do in the immediate vicinity except venture out to the town to buy croissants. Am hoping my "step"-DS will have loads of fun running around in the little forest that's on the land. I'm hoping to read a couple of novels. And to eat cheese.

So - Alps, can I sue you if it doesn't happen? In fact am at 6DPO, so I really shouldn't be drinking, and should be thinking sticky thoughts. But probably won't.

StarryC - what did you buy? We had garage sales where I grew up. I was a massive fan. But not having a car makes car boot sales a little more challenging...

Mostly plastic tat for 10p that makes molette very happy, but it was so sunny and there were doughnuts
I keep doing all the good stuff- running both mornings this weekend, eating pretty healthy SW friendly meals, and then Utterly Sabotaging myself in between, I Do Not Learn (rant bought in by 2 wagon wheels) Gah.

Happy hols brownie am jealous of croissants and fun sechs-leave the menkalling til you get back

(also jealous of boo's party animality-how's the head now?)

Brownie clearly you are going to France. Pliz to eat at least 6 rounds of excessivly runny Brie on my behalf and drink Bordeaux dry

I don't know who Dave Gahan is either.

Boo is Tim okay?

Sorry for my unexplained absence of late, has simply been a mixture of being away at a conference, working 14 hour days and generally feeling rubbishly sick a lot. To be returning to such exciting musical excellence is a real treat and I have a contribution to the score:

Well stone the crows
These BESHies are such evil hags
Who'd have thought that fourteen million droids
Would mean they?re barren, selfish hags

Boo BESH, you must help us further
I have got a job for you
You shall lead us into preggo-dom
You shall help us with your woo

Boo BESH sent Mitchell slave to fetch
Some grapefruit form the local store
Whereupon she ordered him
To enhance the FFJ that the BESHes bore

The BESHies got a royal pardon (from HRH Zita West, praise be her name)
And a host of splendid tat
A womble made of tar, much sickness
A baybee and a belly that?s fat

I did a lot of dancing and am dram in my youth (I was principal boy in 'Babes in the Wood' I'll have you know) am happy to take on a singing role and will reassure you that no amount of shiny tan footless tights, zealously applied stage make up nor poor quality loin cloth costumes can dampen my enthusiasm for giving my audience the performance they deserve.

I am also absolutely delighted with the 3 short weeks in a row situation I currently find myself in. A bit of a bugger for getting everything done at work but by God, the long weekends are a life saver.

Smooches all round, plus some whipping with this cat o' nine tails (sorry, I seem to have turned back time and found myself back on the pirate ship)

Truffs!!! Nice to see you, and love what you've done to the song. Is it odd that as soon as I started reading I could hear the tune in my head and how all the words fitted and everything? It's just after the interval that one, isn't it? "Pharaoh said well stone the crows, this Joseph is a clever kid, who'd have thought that seven cows could mean the things he said they did, Joseph got a royal pardon and a host of splendid things..."
Etc
Etc
Etc
Etc

I am mizz today, and this has cheered me up a bit. Thanks luvver!

@ "a womble made of tar"!

JB is "not in the mood". He has just informed me that our neighbour is sunbathing, in the nude. She's quite old, even by BESH standards!

I don't know enough about this Joseph shizz to know the tune but the words are making me laugh. A lot. I might have to watch the musical somehow (is that possible, is it like on a DVD??)

A bad thing happened on friday night & now me & MS are not really speaking. I saw some stuff on internet I didn't really want to see nor did I expect or even think he would look at. We had a row. I'm not sure what to do now :(

But on the upside only 4 days at work & it's going to be sunny all week so that makes me :)

Well thanks BESHies, I do try my best. You've got it Rie and to be honest, I really wanted to do something with the Benjamin calypso song but it was beyond me to get any relevant lyrics to fit. I am amazed at how much I remember (in an 'it's all coming back to me now' kind of way) but then I was a bit of a stage child. I think in one of our dance shows we may have performed a Joseph mega-mix. And I'm not one bit so there!

Ski get him to watch the old folks home episode of Inbetweeners, that will make him realise how good he's got it with the nude sunbathing OAP.

sunny I had a similar thing happen (I am assuming anyway) found it by accident in the browsing history when I was looking for red shoes. More dissappointed by the cliche in my case than any thing else but left a most unpleasant taste in the mouth (unintentional pun there). He was next to me when I found it and the look of horrified embaressment on his face meant that we didn't row about it because I was too distracted and busy with mocking him for his total lack of imagination. This approach apparently spoiled it anyway and took all the fun out of it for him. Hope you can get it sorted out, the gut response to seeing things like that when you just aren't expecting to is horrible.

Sorry Sunny have just noticed my terrible cross-post timing. Had this with previous bf and the unexpected nature of discovery (and secretness) can be directly related to 'over' reacting. Hope you get it sorted soon and MS understands why you were upset so you can work it out.

Boo solo: The droid returned
and two days early (BESHchorus: A -a- ahhh)
I'm feeling surly
And a little blue...

Bring me green fags
and Bombay Sapphire (BESHchorus: A-a-haaa)
Toss the droid on the fire
Any diff will dooo.

Sorry about the stuff on the net Sunny, hope you get to discuss it and get it sorted.

Just realised I forgot to divebomb Truffs in my misery. Consider it done.

aRSE fuckKING biscuits MadameCholet-bastard. Here are some green fags, but I will only give you them if you let me feel you up behind the fire exit (we are still at the disco aren't we? Have you noticed all the cool boys have left since we started singing Joseph songs? Have you noticed all the camp ones who are mostly friends with girls and hate football are still here and joining in?)
