Every week I get nice feedback and funny bits from you guys and every now and again I like to share it with the group, just like when you pass notes in class. Here are some random comments from the last month:
RE using the word funky when over 30:
As I’m over 30�I can’t wait for your housemate to get old! Ha ha ha. It happens to us all. Just so she knows, there are loads of cool people over 30, they don’t try to be cool, they are cool.
I just had to say that (sorry) � no dig at you, of course. J
Well I’ve just had my 27th birthday and I was right in the middle of the curry-turns - no not “Thai prawn belly” again, I mean when an Indian restaurant is too hot and you’ve eaten too much Nan and you start to feel a bit dizzy and the tiger beer doesn’t help, anyway I got a text in which someone described me as “almost 30″; I had to go outside as I was about to black out with panic I’M NOT ALMOST 30 there’s THREE WHOLE YEARS UNTIL THAT - although c-hem if I was, that would be FINE. I think that over 30s are cool and relaxed in a way us 20 smths can never be - so yeah, go 30. I have had three things happen recently which confirm I’m old
1 I can’t stay out til 5 without taking 2 days to recover
2 Kids I used to baby-sit are now glamorous adults
3 I actually thought to myself the other day - that policeman looks young
RE…..actually think this one was apropos nothing:
Here’s a wee suggestion for next week…Why can’t you make a list of where young single people can meet similar young single people for a bit of er…social interaction?I’ve been in London four months now and everywhere I go the places are either a) too expensive b) not the sort of place young single women go for a bit of social interaction c) too expensive. Now I realise that ‘c’ is the same as ‘a’ but I thought it’s such a biggie that it deserves mentioning twice..
So can you help?
I know that this may seem unfair, but I’m kind of busy running a recycling business for 800 customers, I’m not sure if I’d have time (eyebrow raised). Although the idea of having to buy a hat to a Laundry Wedding does seem very appealing. Would the guys in Shoreditch want to date people from Mayfair = ah the great divide. If 1 boy and 1 girl email me this week I will definitely hook you up on a one time only chance. We have had a Laundry party near Brick Lane once, maybe I could arrange another once we hit 1000 customers.
RE Jazz
The following website: www.pandora.com � it is the greatest website ever.
You type in an artist or song you like and it streams similar artists to your computer, you can say if you like or don’t like that song and it will alter its choices accordingly. Set up by some music geeks who categorized lots of artists and the music types into a database ( e.g. The Killers: vocal-harmony, electric instrumentation, anthemic etc�). You have to be a Yank so make up a zipcode (I used my birthdate in Swedish date format - 80128, which gave me a lovely residence by a lake in Colorado). I set up a radio station for ‘Smile Like You Mean It’ and it has just treated me to the Doves, the Thrills and a few bands I have never heard. And you don’ get some annoying dj interrupting or playing that bloody Rouge Traders � “Baby baby baby, I’m supernatural” b *ll*cks!
I’ve tried it, it’s great - I’ve got a motown channel, hurrah.
