Yes, except someone's recent private messages apparently went public.

It only happened to a couple of people, though.

You're frightening me now! Just went to add you and you're not there yet?

I'm stressed out completely (and I'm someone who never ever ever gets stressed)

Am organising a surprise 50th party for my so much older than me husband - but not coping with the lies and intrigue! Have just had to phone the house phone from my mobile, pretend it's a friend in the village who is in dire need of one of my cookbooks in order that I can go to the local social club to pay the deposit and sort out the finer details ...

My brother's rock band were initially going to play for free - but the bastards have accepted a paying booking elsewhere, so I have the double whammy of no music, and no brother there My music budget is therefore zero, and I'm frantically trying to find a replacement - I may get a cheap disco ... wonder if anyone would notice if I popped some schlager in there

I can't tell Little Anzej anything about it (that kid's got a big mouth!) so am keeping all the family rows and stress to myself

Rant over!

I don't see what the problem is, just stick the ESC 2012 CD in the stereo and put it on repeat.

The music's really the least of my worries, honest!

Hubster hates parties, and hates surprise parties even more ("despises them" he said after wife of a friend held one for said friend)

Still, it's not all about him is it?

I'll get round to it at some point. Now that I'm teaching maths FB can be a dangerous thing so I need to be careful.

I'll send you my JESC 2003 cd of you want?

Just booked a ticket for The Scandinavian Show in London this weekend. How can I possibly resist stall after stall of thrilling Scandi food, drink and brochures with pretty pictures?! The first Wallander is going to be there on Sunday as well!

I think if it was a party purely for us lot then it would be fine - husband only likes Eurovision in May (sacrilege) but me and LA would be dancing round our handbags and having a great time!

I still can't think of you as a teacher ... how's it going? Do you manage to get any Eurovision into your classes - I would find it so tempting

Not yet but one of the classes is starting the money topic soon and exchange rates is part of it. I could maybe wrangle it in somehow.

It's going well so far. In a good school which is a bonus. Only the odd little shit.

I think that's a given wolfie, he's really into Barbra Streisand at the moment

When he talks about getting married one day, I always want to substitute the words "civil partnership" into his sentence

My Mom and sister are both teachers - inner city/special school respectively. My brother-in-law and I mock them terribly but I couldn't do it.

You never know, it might be called marriage by the time it comes around.


I went to clubs (plural, too much, feet paid for it) on Saturday. First was a rock club...which played Gangnam Style, as they do (which the dj prefaced with "worst song in the world..." - how anyone can say that when we have to put up with asshats like Justin Bieber is beyond me). Second was a gay club. The only decent song played was Euphoria at which point the Birthday girl and assorted lesbians decided to go and smoke. I did dawdle in HMV yesterday as I was buying Modern Family season 3 as it played there too. Made up for it.

I used to slip on my mum's high heels, sling her handbag onto my shoulder and prance around the house when I was 6 or 7.

Just a heads up!

I'd like to think by then it won't be an issue anymore. Although I wouldn't put it past Cameron and his cronies to go back on that promise just like all the other ones.

...Ooh, get me all political!

Join the Martina club, you!

Yeah I was listening to her Mum's press conference this morning, not an easy thing to listen to. Makes you wonder, if the suspect who police are currently questioning really did kidnap April then were is she now if she's not with her kidnapper?

I'm waiting to get a new password as its gone all weird in me but I'll be there don't worry.

This is going to sound very weird but me and my wife were talking about the situation this morning. Do you think as a parent you would rather know your child was dead than it being unknown for the rest of your life like the McCanns?

We couldn't decide.

I bloody hope so - it's ridiculous

Saw an excellent Facebook post - "How come Liza Minelli can marry TWO gay men, and I can't marry any?"

That's an impossible decision - you would want the closure that death brings, but the faint hope of a life still being lived is tempting .... would it outweigh the pain of not knowing?

I can't decide

There's been so many upsetting things in the news lately

A few of our coppers have been in Manc this week for the funerals, they've been taking over shifts for GMP coppers so that they can go to the funerals of their colleagues

The "price on application" is the scariest bit! I have always hankered after being a DJ



Early to bed for me, it's LA's last ever Harvest Festival tomorrow - I've been through my cupboards and found some questionable tins of food to fill a box with

I'm not a mother (although I dream that one day I will be) but I'd always want to hang onto the tiny thread of hope that my child would still be alive somewhere and maybe living a completely new live with total strangers with no memory whatsoever of their previous life, I think this could possibly be the case with Maddie McCann & Ben Needham.

I saw the news coverage of the funerals earlier, so upsetting. One of the victims was only 23, only 3 years older than I am. Can't bare to imagine how the victim's families are going to cope with such an unexpected tradgedy, it really puts our own silly little problems into perspective doesn't it?

I can't ever see me wanting kids so I'm not in the best position to answer but I think I'd need to know. I can't imagine how anyone could get over the death of a child but whatever chance there is of some closure and a fresh start would have to be taken.

Different topic but I have issues with the way the McCanns are put on a pedestal in the media because of their social position.

I'm not the marrying kind - or whatever it's called but if it riles the patriarchal, misogynistic and homophobic elements of the church, I'm all for it.


What happened to those police officers is terrible. I can never get my head around why people feel the need to take lives before handing themselves in/killing themselves. I hate that it's sparked debates about arming the police though. It's so reactionary. The officers were attacked with firearms and grenades - what are we going to do, give the police grenades too?

On a lighter note, Chickens pointed out to me a few weeks ago that the music video to Avicii's "Silhouettes" reminds him of me. I just watched the video for the first time and now I understand why, kinda put a smile on my face.

This whole April thing is of course an absolute tragedy, but I personally can't see why the mother let a 5 year old go out and play without constant adult supervision. 5yo is far too young to be left on your own in a public place.
