There is only one massive ball of gas, millions of miles away, which dictates anything to do with my life - and I live in Scotland, and hardly ever see it.

It is not that I am a sceptic about Astrology, because that implies I have doubts. I am pretty resolute. It is balderdash!

Wait a minute, 董小毛 may well be the God of Good Fortune!

The more I listen to this lesson, the more it sounds like:

boyfriend walks into flat

girlfriend stops playing a siren cassette tape.

What a quirky girlfriend.

I think the idea of a 4 person class makes a lot of sense. Less time to muck about, a sufficient amount of time to warm up and get your head in gear. I think it is a really smart move.

I just need MORE TIME! If only I could virtually turn up to work, and in reality be studying.

No, I managed to get away with it. The smell of cologne outweighed the smell of burnt carpet; The bed covered the bald patch. Over the years, I guess the rest of the carpet looked similarly scruffy.

Happy days :)

I once set fire to one of those Dancing Coke Cans, using some of my dad's Old Spice. It danced a hardly visible flaming dance, then spilt some of the flaming cologne on the carpet - making the carpet a little plasticy/melty.

I had to spend the rest of my youth in that room with my bed at an unnatural angle to cover the aftermath of my experiment.

The End

I am looking forward to the 'Poems with Josephine' lesson series.

I would never pronounce Crepe 'crape' and I am from the UK.

I did once look at a sign, on the way home from the pub once and say "What the hell is a 'Bag El'?"

I love toasted bagels, I was just inebriated.

Unrelatedly - did everyone see the Mobius Bagel?

Loving Maths and Bagels, this to me is the greatest breakthrough this year.

Thanks for the show! I didn't get FnB at the beginning, but I sort of gathered it from context.

And one last thing - Beijing 大饼 (dàbǐng) are delicious! But they seem quite a distant cousin of the crepe!

Cheerio!
