Last night I took my OH out for dinner for her birthday. On the way out the neighbours said hello. I see they are back together as if nothing happened!
Anyway we had our meal. I had Deep fried Brie starter and Rump of lamp for main. OH had Red onion tartlet for starter and Red Snapper for Main. However my OH is a chef (5 star) and can be critical when things aren't done properly. I am much the same- it must be a profession thing. When I see some teachers I would think "I wouldn't do that" or "The kids aren’t listening" etc. Anyway back to the tartlet, and I don’t just mean the waitress who I am sure had a crush on me! When the waitress asked if everything was alright my OH decided to give her opinion on the tartlet. They had used a Sweet tartlet base on a savoury Dish! "It's not a criticism, its just that I don’t expect a sweet pastry base on a savoury dish"
Oh well, Apart from that the rest of the meal was fine.
.....
....
And then the boy next door arrived. My OH spotted him as he walked in. When he was at the bar, he spotted her and gave her a little wave, so she waved back. However he was out of my line of vision, so I leaned over so that I could see him then waved to him myself. He gave a shy little smile and waved back to me too!D He then disappeared for the rest of the evening.

After that we came home, had coffee and cake and went to bed.

I bet shops are quiter today!
Its about to start
England V Paraguay
...
...
I hope Crouch scores!
...
..Wahey!3 minutes in and one has gone in! From a Beckham free Kick
1-0
... And 6 mins in and the Paraguay Keeper is being Subbed.
24min - Did that Parageezer just headbutt Gerrard in the kneecap? The Cad!

Half Time Thoughts. Beckham has played really well, Crouch has got stuck in,in a sort of Geeky-schoolboy way, but other than that there have been some mish-mashy play from some of the others. I can almost imagine Paraguay scoring an equalizer and then we will spend the last fifteen minutes in a scrappy defensive battle.

Second half. That Ref looks like some king of Villain with that haristyle. He's making decisions like he was a villain too!
Althogether now .... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!:p

Reading LJ's comments recently about wating for the next installment of last nights meal out, got me thinking about suspense. (Master of Susepnse- thats me)
Any it reminded me of a joke I was told years ago... well only half told. It was told to me by a friend
She said "How do you keep an idiot in suspense?"
I didn't know so I said "I don't know"
At which she replied "I'll tell you later"
The thing is, she didn'ttell me later, I assume she must have forgotten, which is really annoying because I never got to find out, and I really wanted to know.

Does anyone out there in blog land know the answer?

At last a place for me to go.....

GAMERS' CLINIC
EUROPE'S first clinic for video game addicts opens next month - and children as young as eight could be among its patients.
Eight-week courses will be held at the Amsterdam addiction centre where they have seen 20 game addicts aged 13 to 30 this year.

We what do you know... Amsterdam has an addiction centre

Actually the Clinic is easy to find but to get in you have to find the key. The Key is locked in a Vault guarded by two Zombies which can only be killed by the magic sword and the only was to access the vault is via the Ventilation ducts. But beware of the infra-red security beams and annoying and totally unnecessary Saw blades that appear for no reason.
If you do finally get into the Addiction Centre they won't ask you to sign in, but they will ask if you want to save your progress so far

Director Keith Bakker said: "We have kids who don't know how to communicate with people face-to-face because they've spent the last three years talking to somebody in Korea through a computer. Their social network has completely disappeared."

This reminds me of the other day when my pupil asked me how, If I didn't have computers at school, how did I use MSN Messenger.
I told her that in those days we had to talk to friends if we wanted to communicate

Previously on CJ blog....
on August the 31st 2005 I wrote this blog titled Sky Blues and the Giggle Stick.

OK. Summer is approaching and it is all happening again. Every year for the past four years I have had problems with my Sky satellite system. I don't know if anyone else does or if it's just me, but around the end of May every summer, all I get on sky is "No Satellite is being received." It started a few weeks ago but it was just happeneing during the day and the evenings were fine. But for the past two days there have been no signs of it working at all. I have even wiggled the giggle stick and still nothing.
This is gonna be another long summer of Satellite engineers and Blank Blue screens.
Bugger!
Does anyone know if hot weather stops the dish from working?
