I had my medication review with Bucks & Oxon Mental Health Department - with Dr Brain.

In fact Mum queried it (I wrote it on the calendar). She thought I couldn't spell psychiatrist. Hello?! Trick cyclist, whatever.

My German teacher in High School was named dryer - Every morning the class had to recite "guten Morgen Herr-Drier"

The dietary consultant in Good Housekeeping magazine (UK edition) is currently Anita Bean.

I used to have Good Housekeeping on subscription - great magazine!
My current home-cooked staples are all variations of their recipes.

Oh good! When I saw you'd posted I feared you were going to out me as a middle-class, middle-aged housewife type thingie :o.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If I had, it would have been through the ignorance of not reading the magazine, and I hope you were prepared to smack me for it.

And no, there's not. But it's not actually true for Limey...

I don't have any current plans to be out your way, but I do appreciate the offer. And you never know. I have been to Edinburgh and enjoyed it a lot.

Edinburgh sounds a bit of a trip for Limey, what with the ferry passage and all. Is he better situated for a run to Glasgow?

limey 07-29-2009 02:28 AM

Embra is only an hour further away than Glasgae ...

Urbane Guerrilla 08-05-2009 05:24 PM

Figgered Glasgow meant one fewer stop from... where? Kyles of Bute? Jura?

(That's the only purely Scottish sea-road I've ever actually seen, the view from inside a submarine being what it is. Viewing a good swatch of The Minch from the weather decks of the USS Iowa would mix the Irish with the Scottish, and I think that time our track ran nearer to Ireland's coast anyway. It was well within sight.)

Aptonyms strike again!

You may well have heard that during our most recent election here in Washington, marriage equality was extended to all people, not just opposite sex couples. It's a big deal, big enough that folks were lining up the night before the first day it became legal to marry. City Hall was open at midnight, and due to the overwhelming response they opened up the Courthouse too. The first ones to be married at 12:01 am were Sarah and Emily Cofer at the King County Courthouse.

The judge who performed the ceremony? Judge Mary Yu.

Quote:

First wedding of same-sex couple tonight at 12:01 a.m. in the King County Courthouse

Sarah and Emily Cofer will be the first same-sex couple to legally marry at the King County Courthouse. King County Superior Court Judge Mary Yu will perform the ceremony tonight at 12:01 a.m. at the Courthouse located at 516 Third Ave. in Seattle.
