Hello Curlygirl.

I hadn't read about your family shit. I hope it gets resolved sooner than later. I'm going through some of my own at the moment. The last words I heard from my dads mouth were that I was a c**t. I angrily responded by telling him to go fuck himself. That was weeks ago - there has been no communication since.

I dislike horse racing and especially races like the National due to the number of deaths of horses.

I also dislike betting as I have seen what that addiction does to someone.

I'm fairly shocked at how many people I know placed bets for the Grand National. My reaction is that I don't go in for bull fighting, badger baiting or fix hunting. The Grand National is no different.

I really don't understand how so many people ignore horse racing the rest of the year, but make an exception for the really barbaric one, that normally results in at least one horse dying on the track.

I guess you are right. I don't go in for bull fighting, badger baiting or fix hunting either so maybe should change my ways with the Grand National. I have actually thought to myself that the fences are unecessarily and insanely high.

Without wishing to get into a massive debate on the grand national thing, I shared a house with a groom and we had a conversation about this. Her view on it is, is that the horses love it. If they didn't want to run they quite simply wouldn't. Horses are highly strung creatures and can be very obstinate. When you watch the national you will often see horses that have had unseated riders continuing on the track and completing the course.

Anyway, I'm getting back to NFR NFC and leaving the politics aside.

p.s, I wont be joining the Hot Chip dance off cos I will be at the Foo's. Looks likely i will be on my lonesome for that.

Evening all, so sorry to hear about all the crap that's been happening with families, I hope things get better for all concerned, too much going about. Mine's disappearing tomorrow till Friday, so I've been off this week on hols and will be back at work tomorrow, while Mrs CJ takes the girls off to the coast.

Yog, the Eurovision's not been the same for me, since the sand lady was on, just been down hill since then...

I'd seen the Sand Lady before and agree she's amazing. The contest remains fab for me though despite the lack of her presence. I can't wait.

I agree it will be good, just that she shone out amidst the fixed grins and polyester. I particularly enjoyed the Eastern European women last year demonstrating 'equal ops', not. Let's just say MrsCJ won't be letting me hire any blonde washerwomen any time soon.

Morning all

Not so bright here today, weatherwise and me! I've got to go to the dental hygienist this afternoon. Eek. I've never been before!

As for Morrissey, I like his music and I think he's a character. He isnt everyones cup of tea but then neither is Kylie. I havent read all of the article, tbh I found it a bit annoying so stopped. Everyone has their own opinion about everything, some people just enjoy letting others know more. I tend not to really pay attention to anyone elses opinion- Morrissey included! As I said, its the music and his presence that I love.

Anyhoo!

Happy birthday, Thurlow!

And I hope everyone who is having trouble with things gets sorted soon xx

Age and wisdom win the day.

If I were younger I would have gone out gigging last night and damn th4 consequences. But that little voice made us stay in.

Slept the best for a week and woke up felling so much better.

Hurrah

I know what you mean, sometimes you have to be sensible!

    • Sun's out today. Can feel the hills calling. Time to ramp up the energy levels. I've been easing my way in gently the last 2 weeks with the likes of Hayley and Lael Neale and Cut Worms and Maria Somerville etc. Time to unleash some Shame, Mogwai, Place to Bury Strangers and especially Wednesday and Mannequin Pussy.  Also, just back from a brilliant night in Belfast at the Fleadh Ceoil so anything with a fiddle or a whistle or a squeeze box is drawing me like the Sirens. Madra Salach with the volume up. COME ON!!
    • My Orange car park ticket turned up today. The envelope looked like some kind of junk mail offering me a loan so I nearly didn't open it!
    • There is a bunch of TBC acts on Deftones day, according to APE insta. The obvious guesses are Fiddlehead, Nothing, Dynamite and Make Way, "Outbreak" artists playing the night before. The question is more about how are they are gonna fit in on three big stages.    is 
    • SURELY Reel Big Fish will be here? 
    • Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter is a very bland set of headliners. Commercially successful and makes plenty of sense, but it wouldn't be very inspirising. That said I want a band like Green Day to headline so who am I to say what exciting is.
