Brings back some great memories. Thanks Slarv. I don't get to hear references to Japan "My New Career" and The Clash "Career Opportunities" together very often. Little things like that is why I love reading Alloy.

Funny how wedlock rhymes with deadlock. And headlock. If you think I'm comparatively prosperous you clearly haven't seen my bank balance. Just trying to make ends meet as a single person in London is roughly equivalent to shovelling money into a shredder. > And BTW, I missed the first couple of episodes. > Can anyone tell me why The Biscuit is so called? see: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/2927/faq.html#cage And be none the wiser.

Young, free and single in London. Some people's idea of paradise, I have no doubt. But it's all a question of perspective I suppose. Right place, right time, wrong salary; two out of three is not to be sneezed at. >> And BTW, I missed the first couple of episodes. >> Can anyone tell me why The Biscuit is so called? > >see: > >http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/2927/faq.html#cage > You sad bugger, knowing where to find that. It just shows what you young, freee and single folk get up to in London in the evenings. But thanks anyway, I looked up the page and the explanation will just have to do. I'm sorry to see the end of the series, the one saving grace being that by the time it returns Georgia may have let her hair grow again. She's too good for that smarmy husband of hers. Do you think she'd consider a spin off series based in Chorlton-cum-Hardy? No? Well, I can dream can't I? >And be none the wiser. This page also explains about Perkipsy (or >Poughkeepsie). > Yes, I knew about that. And that crazy therapist played by Tracy Ulllllman. It's about the only decent thing I've seen her do since she defected. Her American show was the pits; she was better all those years ago in Three Of A Kind (IMHO).

Beena's mother is in poor health so we will likely be travelling to India in January so she'll get a chance to see her grandchildren. Beena's father died unexpectedly before he could see the grandchildren and Beena has always regretted that, so it's pretty important for her that her mom gets to see them while she can. We're still not sure what route we'll be taking to get there but one route might have a possible stop-over in London England. So if any of the Alloy Londonites would like to meet up for a quick beer that would be grand. I'll let you know for sure if London will be the stop-over. (We might stop over in Dubay instead to visit one of Beena's sisters).

Logan had a misadventure the other day. I sent him upstairs to clean his room and he comes down a short while later crying. I was sitting on the chesterfield and couldn't see him so I asked him what was wrong but all he did was go "Bwaaaa! Bwaaaa! Bwaaaa!" I figured he was upset because I was making him clean up his room so I said, "Well if you're not going to use your words and tell me I'm just going to sit here and ignore you because I can't understand a thing you're saying when you cry like that." Well now he's crying even louder and the baby has gotten in on it so I figure I better go see what's wrong. It turns out he had his finger stuck in this plastic template from his "Play-Doh Factory". It had these teeth on it that would only let his finger go through it one way and when he tried to pull it out it would dig into his finger. So I realized I was going to have to cut the template off so I told him to calm down and I would take care of it. So I head off into the kitchen, Logan is crying, the baby is crying and Beena is asking what's going on. I come out with the scissors and Logan's jaw hits the floor when he sees me. He screams and then runs up the stairs. He thought I was going to cut his finger off. I wish I could have caught the look on his face when he saw the scissors, it was priceless. So I'm trying to cut the plastic thing off and he's screaming bloody murder and Kerala has worked herself into a state. Whenever we're walking home from school and Logan is tired and starts whining about the walk saying "My legs hurt, I'm tired, my feet are sore." I always tell him, "Well we could just cut your legs off and then they won't bother you anymore." I guess this time he thought, "Oh no! Dad was serious all those times!"
