I've heard i. 'I love it', ii. 'o, it's a bit sporting' and iii. 'you look quite trendy'. so far.

It probably suits you. More than a suit would suit.

Nick: bizarrely, RJG and I were in Waterstones the other day and that song was playing. I could hardly believe it. I still can't. Hardly.

I think I might suit a suit. in fact, yesterday, I was looking for a brown suit jacket to go with my brown suit trousers. one day, eventually.

I just saw 'capturing the friedmans' and cook has so much money that he doesn't want to play pool, any longer, and I have lots of work, to do.

I am depressed.

I am disturbed by the X in the middle of that Scout site's title. It makes it look like some kind of porn site.

RJG (RJG), Sunday, 11 April 2004 22:24 (twenty years ago) link

easter monday? I doubt it then.

what time suits you? you call it.

I was just thinking that if schools are in, which I doubt it, then we'd have to play at 4, if we were to play on my park.

are we playing on my park? or elsewhere?

cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 11 April 2004 22:25 (twenty years ago) link
