Ello babies I am finishing work in 45 mins for two and a bit weeks and as I have finished everything vital I thought I'd write you a wobs message rather than just sitting and picking my nose (although I might do a bit of that too). CAROLLING (ie content, lumme) Good to see the high level of shambolic-ness (shambolicity?) perfected by b&s over the years shows no sign of abating. Mind you 12 days of xmas is *always* shambolic unless performed by ninja-skill level choirs, due to: A: forgetting what number you're at B: everyone learning different orders for 9, 10, 11 and 12 depending on which carol book your school had C: everyone getting faster and fasterandfaster as the song progresses TOSS So I was watching sky sports t'other week and they had coverage of the BOWLING WORLD CUP from riga in that latvia and it was held at the TOSS bowling centre, which made me think of ken (I wonder if rowans is a rude word in latvian...) DANCING We're going out dancing tonite innit, and as I'm going to the pub to meet several dark and shady characters from pre-history first (ie as soon as I leave work (we're going to ye olde chesire cheese (fleet street) if anyone wants to pop along)) I should be well up for dancing as soon as I reach howdoesitfeeltobeloved. NB please do not let me throw up over stuart (or anyone else for that matter...) FLAT Not saying anything specific like, but has IC been as missed as much as during the first verse of OCOCE last nite??? MISSED? Don't forget that if you didn't catch the peel show last nite (or even if you did), you can listen to it for the next week via the wonders of bbc online. It's probably here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?peel_wed you'll need realplayer and to not work where I do as for some reason I can get a squillion radio stations but the beeb don't work, ho hum. LEMONY There was a documentary thing about LEMONY SNICKET on BBC4 the other nite which was quite fun and I thought of lllllllew. Also I have bought my sister (age 26) the first book for wobs so I might read it also to see what the fuss is abt (NB my sister does teach small children so she has to keep up with the scene, that's her excuse anyway ;)) WOBS Ah, the joys of predictive txt... GOING NOW Happily christmas one and all xoxo CarsmileSteve **************************************************************************** For the latest City Lit news & information, please visit our website www.citylit.ac.uk **************************************************************************** The City Literary Institute Registered Office: 16 Stukeley Street, London WC2B 5LJ Registered in England no: 2471686 Registered Charity no: 803007 *************************************************** PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE. *************************************************** This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information.
