Victoria

Hey, Si, we're going to be famous!!!! 8) Just as well you're bringing your m8 - he can take the piccies!! :D :D (those two emoticons are me and Si, smiling for the camera!!)

I can be there - whenever. Just set it up, folks, I'll join in. Where's Simon?

I so definitely can't cope. Chris and Paltrow - it must have been a rush of blood to the head. :shock: Where's Simon :?:

Well, I reckon it sucks. :cry:

Oh, you're kidding - I've just read this thread after the Paltrow one - so it's CHRIS who's going out with her?

WHO's she going out with? I've missed something .... :? :(

Great idea! :idea: :multi: Count me in!! But don't do anything too clever technically, you may need to spoon feed me some instructions first !!! :? Who's gonna buy the drinks? :lol:

Hi, isn't it funny, I have a leather sofa, too! :D But not a leather suit! Though I do have some long red leather boots that have been known to cause a stir at work! :wink: For anyone who's interested, I'm a secretary, too! I work for a director of the Forestry Commission, so there's lots of talk of tall trees and badgers and deer and foot and mouth disease (more last year on that one, but I wasn't here then). Very interesting, and I get to travel about a bit. The upside of having to take the minutes of meetings is that I get to go to the meetings, which can be fun, and are often held in London (shopping, yeah!!). :D Simon, I can't believe you're coming to Bristol !!! Shall we meet?

Hey, I'm back home now - and it's cold here in Bristol too! Yeah, time differences get me, too - it's now 7.30 pm and I'm hungry. But I'm so hooked on this chatplace thing that I haven't put the dinner on to cook yet! :oops: Tracy/Buttercup - I will talk to you from work tomorrow. Like you, Tracy, my desk looks like the aftermath of war! :evil: All this friendly chat stuff is much more interesting than the boring old minutes of the last meeting ..... So what do you two do for work? Have just been GIVEN the In My Place single, with One I Love and i bloom blaum (what does that mean?) - I can't get enough of this band!!! Isn't i bloom blaum absolutely so brilliant, and different? Wow!!

Hi Tracy! I'm at work and shouldn't be doing this! :wink: :lol: What are you doing?

Hey, cool, it works !!!! :D Well, well, so THAT's how to do it! :lol: Oh, yes, I can see how addictive this can be! :lol: Oh, yes, I'll have to work my way through the lot, now!! :smileyround: Woo woo!!!

Well, if it's as easy as that, then here goes ...... :D Is that right? All I see is a :D, no happy little yellow smiling face. Maybe it'll come out when I post it. Let's see ......

Hi, just getting in on the act! Y'know, I don't know how to add these emoticons to my text. Can anyone enlighten me? Oooh, I'm such a baby at these things ..... ! How are y'all? Simon, haven't seen you around in days, where've you been? Hiding away behind some computer, eh? Dear, dear, you must get out to play more often!! I've just been working, working, working. Oh, and sleeping sometimes. Not much else. Isn't life a bore?

Hi, you know me already - Victoria, but everyone calls me Vicky. I see there are some new people. Welcome all !

Well, it seems we're ALL nutty here! Hurrah for nuttiness!!!! 'Ray !!!! Anyway, nothin' wrong with wanting to be a farmer's wife ....... even if he IS ancient, bald and stout - and smells of pigs ! Whatever turns you on ....... ! I'm sure he's a very nice person. Love and kisses to you all - I'm feeling affectionate tonight ! Vicky xxx

'Ahhhh I getcha! I thought You've just landed in it now! The picture in the album...ah!! D'Oh' Ian, What ARE you on about? !! I thought I was the nutty one!!!! I have to tell you, Dave's Girl (sorry, can't remember your real name!! Forgive, please!) the farmer was ancient and bald and stout - but the farm workers, now, that's another matter!! yeah! Vicky.

I'd just landed in a friend's vintage aircraft in a farmer's field in deepest Devon!!!! Hairy, to say the least!!! Gobsmacked, or what?!

What about Hundred Reasons? Gonna see them soon.

Song of the day Today it's the last two on my compilation tape that I was listening to in the car this morning - Amsterdam (Coldplay) (sublime!!!) and Laughing into 1939 by Al Stewart, which has the most fantastic acoustic guitar running through it, and it's SOOOOOOOOO beautiful!!!

Hey, this is fun - really got everyone talking! Please excuse dishevelled pic - had just had a rather, well, unusual experience! I don't always look as tatty as that! Where are all these lovely men we want to look at? But all the ladies are GORGEOUS!! How can the boys compete, eh, girls?!!!!

Er, Al Stewart Reef Rammstein Offspring Steve Tilston Coldplay Coldplay Coldplay Coldplay (am I cheating?) Coldplay Coldplay etc etc etc

The truth is .... .... I wish I could eat something! I've been on this bloody diet since July and I can't shift the last 5 lbs! There is a box of chocolates in the kitchen here at work, and a packet of biscuits in the cupboard. Both are haunting me. But if I eat one, I won't stop - I just know it!

Hi everyone, how do I see the photos, then? I've been to the photo section but it's just band stuff. More guidance needed! Hello Ada - it's good to know people's real names! Yes, thanks - the avatar thing is fun!

Katharina, sorry, of COURSE you're not a tart!! I didn't mean it! And yes, the band is so brilliant, words fail me. No-one who isn't instantly captivated by them needn't bother living anymore!! Is that a bit OTT, or what? Love you all !!!

Yeah, Green Eyes - I like it much better than I did at first! Like all these tracks - it grows on you! Keep listening, all of you out there who don't list Coldplay as one of your top 5 favourites .... !! ('course, no-one who's not really into Coldplay will be watching this .... !!)
