^^ I suspect you may be right there; though my chat-up lines, on the vanishingly few occasions I drummed drank up the courage, were usually more along the lines of; "I... I... err... you... that is... um... er... I... you... um... nice... err... would... erm... I... you... ummm... <ad infinitim>"

I think I just come across super needy or 'a dog with two dicks' is the expression that comes to mind , I can count on one hand the amount of girls I've tried to chat up.

Incredibly bad luck to happen all at once.

RIP.

We had a school trip to York in the early 1970s, and I was fascinated by a recreated 19th Century street called 'Kirkgate' in the Castle Museum. I visited the museum a few years ago, and it no longer seemed to be there. :cry:

I've noticed that virtually every town or city in Yorkshire seems to have a 'Kirkgate', by the way.


Kirkgate's still there. Castle Museum is the best museum in York IMO.

Go in the main entrance not the dungeon entrance then go around the exhibits and you'll eventually come to it, if you're ever there again.

Actually even through the dungeon entrance you'll get there it will just take ages.

Kirkgate was named after Dr Kirk. The guy in the 1930s who went around gathering things from the 19th century to make the street for the museum :)



Discovered another recreated Victorian Street today at Salford Museum and Art Gallery in Greater Manchester. It's the 'Lark Hill Place' exhibit, a much darker (literally) environment than the York Kirkgate, but well worth half an hour or so of your time. I was quite amused by the 'Bowel Mixture' drink in the sweet shop, and the 'Unseasoned Bovril' for 'delicate persons'. They also had a box of 100 year old 'Victory Babies' (the original version of Jelly Babies), which didn't look very appetizing at all after all that time....

How are you guys ok with concerts and stuff? I always want to be but I can't be cos of my light sensitivity and cos of to an extent a sort of sound sensitivity and just the crowds.

(I'm jealous.)


In my brief career as a punk bassist, I wore earplugs on stage, and listened to the other bands from the greenroom where I could actually hear music instead of pain.

I like fat, cuddly London rats who like to eat sausages. Sid from Flushed Away comes to mind. :O)

I obviously fell for one of your tabloids. lol I was looking online about rats since they are really tearing up jake in my garden.They “trimmed” a six foot arborvitae to a stick then ate my onions and pea shoots,then a bunch of houseplants and impatiens.Ive been live trapping them and relocating but some the dogs find before I do.
I did find an interesting YouTube vid on Lurcher dogs.Wow, those are some dogs.

Mine were fat and healthy looking but they would eat your sweet peas to a nub.

Walking home from work on Friday there was small bird on the pavement (high street) about the size of a canary, it was very distinctive in black and white like this

only slimmer, but that might be because it's warmer now. This is a Pied Wagtail. I thought someones pet had escaped; it just didn't look like a wild bird.

It's also the height of their breeding season at the moment, so the adults will be getting lots of exercise! If it was "twerking" like Miley Cyrus on amphetamines, it will definitely have been a wagtail; no other common British bird waggles it's bum quite so suggestively! :lol:
