oooh, wierd one...

ok, desirable - the ability to run, emotional range beyond horny/perplexed/annoyed, that cocky/witty in the face of danger (or at least in the face of those people who give you parking tickets) thing that all good heros have - you know, quipping at inapropriate times? thats always amusing. Until it gets irritating. Erm... obviously that whole 'heroic' attitude - cats get stuck up trees all the time. And their ability to really Live.

undesirable - that shoot first and ask questions later thing, and the fact that wherever they go Trouble happens - worlds blow up, evil people start throwing their weight about, aliens with attitude problems arrive. Its like Midsommer or that bloodbath village Mrs Marple lives in. Its just not peaceful.

Hope everybody had a good time and you all still have the same number of limbs you had on the 3rd and that you partook of barbeque and beer to a pleasing extent.

Sadly, no time for beer and BBQ. I slept through most of the fourth with my new schedule. But I somehow woke up with an extra limb....

yes, I start at 10:30 and go til 8:30 4 days. works well for me now. Silly pubs are always closed at 9am ;) Ah, well, 9am is a grand time to catch some Zs. Those pesky Zs are so fast sometimes, and clever. Always scurrying about, hiding just out of reach. I like to lure them out with a bit of bait... okay, clearly needing some sleep now as this has gone on too far, but I've got to stay up a few hours more. Places to go, stuff to do. Perhaps a short nap.... :cheers:

The 4th was fun. I watched my nephews do their fireworks. The 7 year old made me very nervous though.He did good and was much braver than I when it comes to the awful noise. Then I went in early, because of the cannibals attacking. (I got welts the size of half-dollars from the mosquitoes!)

those are some scary mosquitoes. No fireworks with the nephews for me. That's what happens on holidays in mid week for me now. But ahhh... the weekends is nice now.

Ah to be 7 at the fireworks again. They never seem as impressive to me these days. Jaded I guess.

No, i went to something much more *cough* entertaining 'The Tranmere Alliance Show' Like a fair and a stage with local bands playing. But it rained solidly leading up to it, so it being held in my local park, there was mud mud in abundance!

Is there no way we can't convince you to come? No way we can point out that it's not absolutely necessarry to pay for things untill you can afford it?

You could give me the winniong lottery ticket, or arrange for a bank loan that i never have to payback, or find me a job that not only pays well but is willing to pay me as soon as i start...

None of which are going to happen really.

Whats annoying is my brother just got a letter througgh from his old uni saying that he still has an account with them - thats £310 in credit.

Garh!

Oh well, that would have paid hotel and keep and even a lot of the ticket - why do things like that not happen to me? Poot.

So no, there isn't really any way. I've already changed my holidays anyway and agreed to go up and help decorate my grans house anyway, so I think its a very dead project.

Anyway, as soon as you cancel it tell me and i'll arrange for payment holidays from a loan for however long I need them to get your money back to you. And I do apologise, I really do.

Well, I see one of those as well but it's not what I was thinking of. We should probably work out some kind of tack and muzzle aparatus for it so we can ride it about and not get eaten by it. I'll get started on that while you have another guess.

A vast array of V words but all sadly wide of the mark. Another clue perhaps may help narrow it down; seen most clearly in twilight times.

Well you've earned another clue at least with all of those fine but situationally incorrect words of V; Inara might be her priestess, possibly.
