Cliff - putting football before The Undertones - shame on you. Stanstead Derry - easy trip, forget Man U. Alex says you can share his bed but no Coca Cola after 7pm. Tried unsuccesfully to arrange time off for Morrisey at Albert Hall next month. Anyone in London thinking about it - Rick? tickets are going fast.

An Undertones day sounds like a great idea. Name the place. Following the last trip to Ireland, I spoke to a number of skatepark groups while there. Well, they've invited me back all expenses paid in October. I don't suppose there a any Tones gigs going on near Enniskillen? Apparently there are 15 groups trying to get a park for there area. I'll be particularly interested in the Derry contingient. Julius, I know all about sleepless nights. Baby's cries seem to get through even the best earplugs.

Wondered where you'd got to Julius. Hope your feeling better and take it easy! Would a present cheer you up perhaps? As luck would have it, spotted the very thing this week and will despatch across the North Sea on Monday. Clue: Half of it is edible, the other half recyclable. Hope the stress of wondering what it is doesn't cause a relapse!

Lookin forward to it Lindsay; don't have a clue yet as what to expect but had a whole variety of ideas. Very nice of you anyway!

watching lord of the rings is bloody hard work. I'll have to watch it a couple of times just to see all the bits I slept through the first time. Can we not bring the chat room forward from half past ten. I'm still knackered and didn't even get a lie in this morning as my children stayed overnight. we're not getting any younger.

You need to get your children trained George. Mine don't wake in the hols or at w/ends til after 8.30 (or else!). What time do you suggest we start on Thursdays then? I agree it does get too late and I'm sure Julius in particular would welcome an earlier start. By the way, was it you or Vinny with the guitar and dimples?!!
