Indeed @raisingirl. There was an interview with George Harrison once, and he told the story of how he and Art Garfunkel had a chat about their respective 'Pauls'. Both were of a similar nature apparently Today's piece of useless info - the song # Only Living Boy in New York, has the opening line #Tom, get your plane right on time - the Tom being Art G. It refers to their previous lives when they performed as Tom and Jerry

I loved the Paul Simon African inspired album but not so much Boy in the Bubble and Diamonds songs. Homeless is my favourite and I bought the Ladysmith Black Mambazo CD on the strength of it. Brilliant.
Totally ignoring anything to do with sport. Far too much of it at home.

My elder brother is only 11 months and 9 days older than me, so for 3 weeks after my birthday I'm the same age as him. We were dressed and treated identically. I've turned into a great big nancy boy and he's a homophobic bigot

There’s only 10 months between my two step grandsons, they were in the same school year. They were very attached to each other as little ones, but not so much now, completely different lives and jobs. One lives in Wales, one in Okey.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
...good grief...wish I hadn't joked about The Obvious Child and hiding behind a pillow. What a horror that game turned into (and good job the pillow was there) - and with all respect and heartfelt sympathy for Gomes.
Might just get out in the garden today - although I have a couple of parcels turning up from Fedex - my NAS decided to un-RAID itself by losing a disc , so I have a new disc ... and a new NAS arriving (allegedly) - as I spent a lot of time recovering data from the NAS over the weekend when I could have been out. Barking though isn't it? I bought the NAS as backup, but now I have a problem with the NAS, so I need backup for my backup (I see a double mirror here, with a reflected image disappearing off into infinity) - but the NAS was a backup for the family (and held ripped copies of all my music and DVDs) - so I don't have another device with enough space to back it up - and I won't use the 'Cloud'.
*NAS=Network Attached Storage (basically a bloody great big additional disc for your computer/laptop/blah)
@steveTu- technology is great - when it all works @Obelixx is so right - families can be so peculiar @Hostafan1. Not much you can do except spend less time with them and more with your friends and partner. After spending ages faffing and footering yesterday to attach the new shower pull doohickey, I wondered - why does someone not invent a better way of attaching cabling/wiring into these things? At the risk of sounding like Chandler [from Friends] -could it be any more awkward...
I had the same thought - why are taps such a pain to fit? Hozelock roughly works - so why not plug and play taps? Ditto light fittings - why oh why do you have to stand on ladder with the fitting balancing on your head while you try to wire a new one in....? A simple standard base plate that the new fitting clips onto surely could be designed. And as for door handles - why not have a standard base plate - saves all those screw holes in doors where the new furniture is smaller than the old. Designers aren't that bright are they?
I had a shower head holder (the bit that allows the head to be angled) break a few weeks back - a simple piece (made of rubbishy plastic that was always going to break at some point) to replace you'd think. But no - the shower riser pole that ours fitted on was oval and not round - so 'standard' head holders don't fit - and then to top it off, the fittings that held the shower riser pole were fixed distance apart and outside of the range of replacement risers' flexible fitting options - which meant a complete riser and head replacement kit wasn't an option as we'd have screw holes visible in the tiles. Aaaarrrrrrrgggh. Took me two weeks of googling and hunting using various terms to try to find the manufacturer of the original part - and then the spec had changed slightly. Heaven forbid the piece fails again.
