Can't believe I missed Kiss A Ginger Day

Eks oompie kisses and tannie cheek-pinches. Ah the memories

Just as well I missed the day, I would have passing germs around like sweeties, coughing so much I just blew the computer off the desk

Hey Mic, what a way to go, eh? And take the world with us ... nah, leave them behind. Who needs them?

By the way ... no drop in service for the last few comments.

Kal, I'd take my chances with pneumonia, and frogs are a bit squishy. Fingers crossed you find a charming frog who talks into the bargain, that would almost be better

Like Molly said, Ed Sheeran has raised the profile, and Prince Harry is practically our poster boy right now

Maya, you can still kiss gingers whatever your hair colour, getting kissed back, that takes the special gene which apparently is shared by only about 2% of the population - your hair colour does look fab, but your skin looks even fabber so you're a lucky woman if you are a natural redhead!

The cable is provided by what seems to be the sole supplier, there are bolt-on internet providers but if the problem is my cable I am paying more for the same problems - if the problem is the cable.

Cach, it's nearly lunchtime and ash blonde is the way I'm heading too

DW it was - kissing girls is different so they say I'm still preferring boys but hey, any port in a storm

RE: Drones the future is here

So I could get drones delivering my order if I could get my internet stabilized long enough to place it.

Technology is a bit like my house. Rushing on to the next thing and the next before perfecting what we have

That was a personal rant, of course. Fascinated by the blog

I'm getting a bit frantic about my internet connection. All well and good when it crashes repeatedly during a blog, big deal, but I came to Spain confident I could earn an income teaching online, what's happening now is I am crashing out of classes. If I can log back in within 3 minutes, all well and good. If I can't - and often it is 5 minutes or more - that's it, the class is switched to another tutor, I get a black mark against my name, and I don't get paid for the lesson. That's sometimes happened 40 minutes in and the classes are only 45 minutes long.

So - no income. The supplier is willing to come and check my line, but if they can't find a fault there's a 90 euro charge for the callout. Ask me if I can afford 90 euros when I can't earn.



Mind you it now seems to be happening every few minutes, maybe I can risk the callout.

Baie dankie Diova, lekker soentjie

Mimi I responded at the time and my comment was showing but isn't now. I am not loving my internet.



And listen, you bring your Art and his busy fixing-things-hands over here right NOW, okay? Ireland can wait. I have a small list ...

BC, they might suspect my agenda

Molly, in that case I'd like another

1to1, but we can keep each other warm?

But sure. Air kisses it is

Tokyo, DOUBLE sparks! No wonder my internet has crashed 4 times in the last 10 minutes!

Pat, the next time someone expresses an interest in seeing both I'll explain the situation.

Well this blog was a bummer. Not even a consolatory belated cyber kiss. Huh.



FINE. FINE.

Ha Itchy I answered your question in my last comment. Not as ginger as it was. I'm rapidly going, um, blonde. Or white, in which case I will sue my Spanish builder, all his fault

Therefore I am

Maya, when I was younger my mother liked to say 'if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all'

Another I like is 'criticism should be constructive not destructive'




Do as you would be done by
Be done by as you did

JJ I'm as mad as the next person

RE: Vacant Position: Idiot Required

Dear sir

I wish to apply as your Idiot

I am widely experienced and could also offer the added inducement of being your praise singer.

This is an advantage to both of us. It would cheer you up, when I have been too successful in my idiot duties. And it would be cheer me up as praise-singing is very highly paid.

I strongly urge you to consider my application with bigly favouritism.

I present examples for your consideration -

Cat, you are an idiot

Sir! You are well known as the most erudite and downright hilarious blogger in the history of CS!
























The sample was of course free.

RE: Philosophical Fiction

I did, I surely did

RE: is it time to be honest on this site

Sorry I mocked

Rite of passage when we are criticized and the critical one makes a spelling error while mocking us for silliness ...

RE: Philosophical Fiction

Non, my love, it could be that the position of his cranium, which I believe you have exactly to rights, accounts for his youthful appearance which, under the circumstances, is truly incredible

I'm ever so tempted to claim I created whodunits, though.

RE: Global Warming Is Probably A Farce

Global climate change - how's that rain of yours coming along, Cat? Plenty of it? Water reservoirs filling up nicely?

Therefore I am

Thanks, Molly

I flinch away from unwanted truths, close the door on them firmly, then spend a few nights at 3 in the morning fretting.

Very mature.

Therefore I am

KN, good strong words and a shining example, thank you!

For the record, I never ask people their opinions of me as a person, although I will take advice before I make big decisions. I may not follow it, but I will listen carefully

There will always be those who give their opinions unasked, and sometimes it can get under the skin and sting a bit if you respect that person

Moi? less than perfect?












they're wrong! They're morons!

Therefore I am

Molly - serious question -

Do you still respect the opinion - not of a decision, of you as a person - when it is totally unlike your own view of yourself, and not in a good way?

Do you completely reverse your judgement of them and their opinions, or do you examine yourself to check your selfview isn't completely off-kilter?

Well, not that serious a question. Call it interest, though.

Therefore I am

Ekself - the only one to pick up on that change of direction - old is weird. I know people in their 30s and 40s who are staid and dull and set in their ways, watching telly every night, youth is completely wasted on them. I know people in their 60s and 70s who are inventing, travelling, writing, painting, climbing mountains, changing their lives, have such a spring in their step their joie de vivre is infectious. But they are the 'old' ones.

Therefore I am

Good girl Molly, and you've come up with some epics yourself, don't try to guilt me out

I'm not struggling with any angst here. I think I'm right, therefore I am.

But Cat raised an excellent point about Zuma, who also thinks he's right, and has united most of the country in disagreeing

One point I wanted answered was what happens when someone whose opinion we value doesn't agree with our view of ourselves. No-one even noticed that one in the flood of words.

Therefore I am

Angel - sit, sit. Have a coffee, or tea, after that marathon. Cake?

Did that help, do you forgive me, do you like me again?
