Great news Karyn! Really happy that you're happy. I am happy despite getting up at 5am every day, but I can live with that.

What would make me uber happy would be for house prices and interest/mortgage rates to come plumetting down. I can't face the psychological trauma of buying a cardboard box for 5x my salary!

Other than that, life's good, good health, great friends, I'm spending time in the UK so I can see my friends.

All in all, things are good.

You may get your wish there if Alan Greenspan is right.

I'm happy because my daughter is beautiful and smiles and giggles when she see me come home from work. I'm also happy because I've finished work for the day which means I can sit down and have a nice relaxing beer before I start working on my (possible) new business.

Oh and when you say "Londinium meetage??" I assume that means London which sounds grand....

The Geordie phrase for bimble is tootle. Where one may go for a bimble about, some may go for a tootle aboot.

Bimble is in use up here too, we are very cosmopolitan up here now. Cockneys can walk the streets of Newcastle now with only a 40% chance of getting a kicking, down from 99% in the 1980s.

I did, but its used quite a bit in Sussex and moreso in Brighton.

I even have an album called Bimbling Wish I knew where it was, I've just twigged I haven't got it ripped onto my PC.

No, you all think Cosmo is a porn mag!

That's the national swing mate. A gordie now has a 99% chance of getting a good kicking which is up from 10% during the 80s. The sudden change for this was due to Geordies coming up with silly word like "tootle" and dodgy Chris Waddle haircuts - blahh

I'll be happy today in around 3 hours, when I can go home and have around 5 hours of uninterrupted gaming to finish off some games I need to attack. Work is pissing me off so I can't wait to get out of here.
