And why can't I find anything about his pointy nosed goodness that isn't in Italian or French or something?

Yes, they must mark up the wine a fair bit, but I buy all my wine from my local Thresher and I have discovered at least 3 types which are fantastic* - at least as good as any other £6 or less bottle I've found - and I get them for £4.66 a bottle. Sounds good to me.
Tissp - I think you get about 4 week's grace on your tax disc - obviously they don't make a big deal of this, but last year I got a fine exactly a month after I should have had a new one, and this year I renewed three weeks late (online, btw, which is so much easier) and didn't get into trouble.
*Zenato Valpolicella, Sandy Lane Zinfandel and Casillero de Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon, in case you're interested

I had a nice time in Bath over the weekend (the town in Avon; I did not spend a whole weekend in the bath, that would be silly). The Christmas Market was a bit rubbish (lots of stalls, but they were all much the same, and also the stuff was v over-priced), and everyone seemed very rude and bad tempered, with lots of elbowing and barging going on. It was just really nice to have a weekend away though :)
Excitement yesterday = taking the dog for a walk through nearby woods yesterday lunchtime, I found a SKELKLINGTON! It's the size of a very large dog - Great Dane sort of size - and it was in a curled up/sleeping position under a tree. My husband insisted on bringing the skull back home with us to look at more closely (because he was convinced it was that of a Big Cat). There have been several reported sightings of a panther across the moors where I live, and so he was all excited that we might have stumbled across something exciting.
I've checked loads of animal skull pictures on the web, and I'm fairly certain it's actually a very large dog - the skull is probably about 15" long, and the canine teeth are simply huge. Since the teeth are in almost perfect condition, I'm inclined to think that it's a domestic pet, and not an animal which has been living wild. Which is kind of sad, really - someone's Very Large Dog must have gone missing, and died alone in the woods (probably about a year ago, based on how clean the carcass is).

I've got that feeling too. Partly because I had a lovely weekend and now I'm back at work, and partly because my mother decided to start shredding her old credit card bills at 7am this morning. Having the house filled with a loud GRRAAARRRRRRR noise when I'm still only on my first cup of coffee is not going to set me up right for the day.
That's a sad thought, CJ.
I remember going something along the lines of "Argh fuck fuck fuck that really hurts"....
That's because you're doing it wrong ;-)
(candle-wax tips: drip it on from a height. If it hurts, drip it from a higher height!)

(Now at the other side of A Very Strong Coffee, so have perked up somewhat)
Oooh, FP, how was the photoshoot?

(if you think of them as "main subject with fashion accessories", like your usual fashion shoot, then I'm one of the accessories)
The woman who is the main subject has put some of them up elsewhere. I'm not posting links here, but if anyone *really* wants to see I will email a link.

It's interesting for *me* to see the pictures, because, due to the poses, most of the time I couldn't see a thing and had no idea what was going on in the rest of the shot, what pose the subject was doing, what her expression was and so on.

Three weeks until Christmas! Hurrah! I seem to have spent most of the weekend on a bus, going to and from London on Saturday/Sunday morning to see Johnny Boy at the Stay Beautiful Christmas party. Which was fun, although being by yourself at one of those things is a rather soul-crushing experience.
And now to Monday. Bah. I think I may have got up on the 'can't be bothered side of the bed' today...

Have I mentioned this before? - here that kind of thing gets attributed to cosmic rays. They even mention it in the weather forecast!

Can I add to the chorus of "bah, humbug, morning" around here?
Actually, I'm in a pretty good mood, I'm just tired.
Had a great time last night, mulling and then barn dancing, but even though I left at a decent hour, the OMIGOD I'VE GOT TO HAVE CHIPS IN PITA NOW NOW NOW urge struck me as I was walking down the hill home so I didn't sleep very well.
I'm looking forward to seeing the skullington pictures, CJ! Poor dog. But the last time I found a skull in the woods, it was a deer skull and I had to fight my dog to get it off him!

Something else has just pissed me off today but I can't talk about that. Grrrrrrrr. :-(
But then I got a nice email from PBW, which kinda made up for it. Just when I decide I'm totally not bothered by him, he decides he wants to be friends. OK. Whatevs. ::shrugs::

Anyway, as I said last night, I am officially Over Boys. Square Dancing is the new sex. For the first time, ever I stripped the willow* without managing to take out an entire row of dancers.
*this is actually a folk dancing move, not something FP is into.

Which one is Yanqui? I can't tell GSYBE records apart, though I think my favourite is A#F#∞ but that could just be the name. (the one with that gruff voice talking about "the driver is dead at the wheel" or whatever he says. Cannot quite remember, will have to dig it out when I get home.)

I haven't been anywhere folky (for want of a better phrase) for a while, but there was no cuteness where I was. It might be different in the Big City, where folk dances are gonna be populated by horsey types (a good thing, btw).
