I'm pottering.

See, you lot of men bicker and bicker more than us ladies. We just go with the flow... and have adult conversations.

Over tea and cake or extra strong bloody maries.

Me. I have had to look at myself for fifty one years. I have seen the kid, i have seen the teenager, i have seen the adult who has gone through things that you would not want to put on anyone else.

And my sister too.

Otherwise, i love Dame Judie Dench.

Like i said on the animal thread.

A big worldwide hug to you and your family. xxxx

And good for you.

I'm not an angel. Far from it, but to see animals have to go through <deleted> quarantine it absolutely goes over my head and upsets me.

Why don't all countries come together and get a universal vaccination to give to all animals. And then our loved ones can come with us. Wherever we are. They do it for us and for kids why not for the dogs and cats-

But, oh dear, he actually comes from Zanzibar.

Aha, my first love... It was magic. 15 17. He was hot and i was hotter. But we never did it.

I know his name - i could google him.

He had lovely green eyes. But it's always best to leave old memories where they are. With fondness.

Do you still love me?

Playalong, playalong, playalong. mumble. mumble.

I'd go with me, I am terrible.

What's wrong with Richard Gere? Swoonish.

Sadly, the most famous German at the moment is that bastard who flew a plane into the Alps.

Hitler

Another Austrian.

Sandy who wrote gobblygoop - and it took ages to sort it out. and in the end it was gobbldygoop.

he seemed ok.

Patsy let your pawns from the Vodka ....

Pawns, no pawns - no vodka, just some white wine.

Take care.

For a very small country, Switzerland can be very racist. I have lived here for 40 years and the animosity between the three parts is rather mind blowing. They may be neutral in war thingys but within their borders they are nasty bastards.

See, got a sense of humour. Not one of those dark deep Yerman people we know and think.

It must be soul destroying to be called a Swiss person. I know, it happens to me practically every day. But now i have my new Irish passport i can just rise above all that!! It arrived yesterday.

Simple Minds were here in Geneva last month - sadly i couldn't go - the tickets were around 30 pounds. Whereas, James Taylor (another on my list) the tickets were around 80 to 100 squid. But he was playing in a large theatre, and it was sitting down only.

It all depends. For me, i like to be outside at concerts. Seeing fat Axl Rose inside was good but probably not as good as if he had been outside. Also, with outside four day festivals - you can potter around and find bands in other places that you may not have heard of.

Perhaps my list is not long enough because i can't remember the names of the unheard of bands that i have enjoyed. They all deserve a smile.

And, no, i do not dress like a throwback hippie.

Google Paleo Festival in Switzerland. That is where i have seen most of the people on my list. I actually did it and Wikkied the years and concerts!! A few years ago we would camp there and just forget the day to day life. And what fun we had.

Nowadays, its all money money money. We can't camp unless we have a ticket etc. And the tickets are pricey. So, we just go to the area before the camping and party there. I have been left sitting there for three hours with four dogs.

And one thing that floored me there, Bob Dylan was supposed to play. He got sick and cancelled. So they asked the Red Hot Chili Peppers to step up. Those bastards wanted 1 million dollar each to come and play at our wonderful venue.

No way.

Just Google Paleo Festival Switzerland. And if any of you are in the vicinity around the end of July. PM me-

Dont be silly. It was a great concert in a football stadium. I enjoyed it. Imagine - two great stars together. And he buggers off to the toilet during Cocaine. And when Elton was singing Candle in the Wind i was actually down on my hands and knees in the Gents toilets trying to get him out of there.

The train journey home was a bit stilted. The poor bastard couldn't handle the pot. And i told him to take just one or two puffs. But no, he smoked the whole damn lot. But i did buy a t shirt. Which i wore the next day to the pub. And he had no recollection at all of being at that concert. Even though we had got a train, bus etc.

Twainthpotting

The Commitments - when they took the horse up in the lift!!

Full Monty

I could watch those ones again and again.

Also the other two in the Commitments trilogy - The Van is great and i canny remember the other one.

Watching Trainspotting in the pouring rain with French subtitles in an outdoor cinema will stay with me for the rest of my life. Have you tried to read the book?

Who's Sandy?

Ricky Gervais - it's his laugh that grinds on me. It sounds so false. Grate or grind, who cares. It is a plastic laugh. It doesn't come from the belly. When he laughs his eyes don't laugh. From what i have seen he is just gathering the money.

That guy that used to ponce up rooms - Laurence Llewellen-Bowen and his big fat wife. I just cannot stand him and his flamboyent ways, throwing his hair back - yuck.

I much preferred his Irish gardening person friend. Diarmud. Sexy.

Now ask me who i would watch 24 hours a day and i think is the most wonderful person on the telly.

It has to be The Supervet. He performs miracles. And he is rather good looking and single and around my age and too intelligent for me and and and.... stop pats. And he's Irish.

Billy Connolly has to be number one. The incontinence pants sketch almost made me pee myself.

No, it is the Austrians who make the cookoo clocks.

Living in Switzerland can actually be fun. When asked if i speak Swiss, or Swedish or whether Swaziland gets hot in the Summer.

No no and i don't know.

Germany, don't know much about it. My brother lives in Munich and that's quite nice. Skating on the frozen river, the beer etc.

And the German people i know are just normal people like you and me. Nothing odd about them at all.
