Blue Monday today. The most depressing day of the year apparently.

That is great news Kris! Is this the permanent trip or is she still awaiting that visa? Either way I can understand blue is the last thing you'll be feeling .My lady love is flying in from the US today and so I am hardly feeling blue.

Blue Monday is all down to advertising really - link . But it gives the rags something to write about.

Yes, but who believes them?
After all the press seem more intent on destroying civilisation and replacing it with "SHOCK, HORROR, FREE DVD!!!" stories!

I would have said the actual "Blue Monday" would be the first one after the New Year bank holiday, when people suddenly realise that another work year has begun and there won't be any excuse for a party for a while?
That is, after all, why Yule/Xmas celebrations happen when they do. It's an excuse to shout and bang things in the darkest days of the year, when our minds attempt to fill the shadows with all manner of nasties.

Just had a haircut and getting ready to "jet my kitchen drain" - not a euphamism HG - as it seems slow with a build up of grease over the cold snap.

hmm - we have some blue bits of sky I'll admit , we also have some largish dark grey clouds and there are rain spots on my windows together with wet ground .
I'm beginning to think I'm suffering from SAD
I want some decent weather , I want to get out but neither I nor may camera are waterproof

I think you've just missed it Gareth, nothing's been deleted, but to be honest I'm not sure offhand which section it's in.Wasn't there a thread going about copyrights, misuse of it and that strange building in Brussels that's copyrighted?

It'll turn up!

It's cunningly disguised as a K7 thread link

Tozza, would I?
How's the drain?
I've now got to bag 2cwt of coal as we're expecting a delivery in the next few days and the bunker needs to be empty.
Camera bit now, just got a *ist DL from ebay, it;s in bits but did work (so the vendor says!), anybody know where to get a cheap lcd screen for it?

Well lager, not ale since we can't get ale so easily, but bangers and mash with onion gravy was the menu.
Nothing like a good serving of comfort food .
