  1. @ronniejoice They also contain the coordinates of Atlantis and the present whereabouts of Lord Lucan.
  2. Ah, got the whole Wordpress/Facebook thing sorted out.
  3. Check our some great links. fb.me/1ueta6CdY
  4. Oh, hang on, got the one from 31st. So I'll blame Wordpress for the other one.
  5. Facebook, where are posts on my page? Where's the one from 31st May? And where's the notification of the blog post I just made. Grrr...
  6. Choosing a pen name is like choosing a tattoo. You'd better pick one you can live with. #randomthought
  7. @sunita_d Thanks! I do them as much for me. It means I can easily find an awesome post I might want to read again later.
  8. @nicolamorgan @EvieMcLaughlin Though you may have some trouble convincing a jury of that.
  9. June know what I've got for you? Links! wp.me/p13kvb-qS
  10. @JosephineMyles I have to give mine a regular clear out, or it gets to the stage I feel like I'm following every RSS feed on the Internet!
  11. Strewth, did they have to inflict Katherine Jenkins on the Queen at Epsom? Couldn't they get a proper singer?
  12. Okay, editing done. Tiime for exercise, then food! Later, linky blog post to do.
  13. @Knitronomicon I get furious every time I pass the closed down & still empty Odeon on Pilgrim Street in Newcastle. It was a great cinema.
  14. @Knitronomicon I can't stand going to the cinema any more. Nobody can shut the hell up. And multiplexes are rubbish. Such small screens.
  15. @Knitronomicon I'd laugh - if I wasn't already totally fangirling a couple in a TV show I won't see until October.
  16. @marcstamper Ooh, from I, Claudius. Yes, I'd look about that pissed off if I had to wear that wig for my job...
  17. @Knitronomicon They should have used Cuprinol. It's so annoying. I was trying to post a very important reply. Totally impotant. About sheep.
  18. Well #LiveJournal appears to have gone KABLOOEY! again. Varnish erorrs. What's varnish got to do with it?
