If this bit of exciting news regarding il riturno di Italia is true, I'm very tempted to set up a Raffaella Carrà for Italy Eurovision 2011-type Arsebook group. Might as well use the social network for something important... ;-)

A day late, but the class of students in the room next to my office seem to be chanting "Lady Di, Lady Di".

It is possible due to the fact that they are playing Hangman and the (generally) poor English pronunciation of the Vietnamese that they are actually saying "Nearly right", but I'd prefer to think it is the former. After all, IWSWHW. :-)

I may have to be hitting F5 every couple of minutes, but I'm still grateful to hostream.net for showing the Leeds match.

1 man down (so far), but at least we're not a goal down. Odd that the stream is better now it's half time...

Fingers crossed. I'm hoping this result will be more to my liking than the election results.

Sad to hear the news about Lynn Redgrave. Her and Rita Tushingham played a rather large part in my teenage life.

I feel I may now have to watch "Smashing Time" as a tribute when I get home (any excuse), but for now I shall remember Lynn Redgrave with the BESTEST song from 60s British cinema.

My one day a week, then two days a week, then three days a week job assessing language, literature and numeracy (LLNP) appears to have turned into five days a week at least until the end of April. No rest, wicked, and all that ( Read more... )

We all know that LadyDiQOOH had a certain relationship with food. Therefore, I can't decide whether this is complete sacrilege or hysterically funny. I think I'd probably go with the latter.

Yes, I am a bit bored as you can probably tell... :-)

Australia is FINALLY getting Soreen Malt Loaf!!!!!!! :-D ( Read more... )

I (finally) have a job interview! Tomorrow.

This leaves me with very little time to swot up on the actual position and the programmes/initiatives it deals with. Anyway, it's as a pre-training ESL/Language Literacy and Numeracy assessor. As far as I can ascertain, it's not that different from IELTS oral examining other than it's not as high ( Read more... )

I don't suppose any radio listener with good taste downloaded and still has "The News Quiz" from 8 Jan and the week before? I managed to forget to check whether the new series had started and missed them. :-(

1-up at 52 mins in. Nice one. I just wish that the BBC World Service and their Sunday Sports programme was covering the match live. Grrrr.

But yay to Hostream.net... :-D Now I can actually watch it.
