Somewhere, a web designer is very pleased with themselves
Lounging on the settee, as you do after a long week, there was a chuckle from cori_gated...who was quite entertained by what was happening on the BBC News website:

And so it begins
"Due to exceptional passenger numbers, all trams are currently experiencing slight delays."
It's the future of public transport, I tell you.

Too soon?
Somewhere in the dim-and-distant mists of time, I was faintly enthusiastic about m-g having willingly taken a dump in his potty. As it turned out, it was a bit of a false alarm and, apart from occasional lucky catches, it hasn't become a thing with him. This is a source of mild concern to me.

Today I learned the word backpfeifengesicht. Apparently, it's one of those wonderful German compound word for a face that's badly in need of being punched.

Meanwhile...
For the occasion of It's Just Bloody Friday, myself and cori_gated have taken some time to take a trip to Basel. As you do.
We're going out for fondue tonight.
There's a long and complicated answer to "Why Basel?", which involves the BMI Diamond Club, British Airways, lots of Avios and some intricate wrangling over where, when and how - all of which has taken ( Read more... ) -
There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you
I am very excited to discover that Extreme are going on tour again, will be appearing in Glasgow in July...and are playing Pornograffitti in its entirety.

Now this I am going to HAVE to see
