why do i have the knee of doom?

i can feel bits moving around under the kneecap, which would be fun if it didn't hurt.

i want...

a greenman pocket watch. double full hunter manual mech. life is so unfair.

i really really hope...

that the taliban haven't got the internet and a set of snow chains..... if they have we are screwed!

how can everything stop........just because of a bit of snow. ok if it goes over a foot but its a couple of inches out there. if i can make it about in flip flops how can they not get trains to go through it? i think we all should take a good hard look at ourselves.

let them eat cake

me on that cake trip again.! stoke newington town hall. sat and sun. christmas fayre. come down and check out the goodies!

tea, ginger cake and page 18 of absolute beginners BANJO
