Mahler is very triumphal and so is masturbating. It was nighttime, btw, and I was on 95 south, so it's not like anyone could have seen into my car.

Aimless, I am pretty sure that I have used the word 'subfusc' on ILX at some point up to now to describe the attire of Oxford Uni students when they matriculate and sit Schools (i.e., their exams)

but anyway

I am the only ILXor who has stopped for five minutes on the way to work today to listen to the croaking of the common frog, Rana temporaria.

I can't remember what vintage les cornflakes were. I was on a camping holiday and ran out of milk for my breakfast cereal, so sloshing some house red into the bowl seemed like a good idea (esp as I was still half cut from the night before anyway).

It was all a long time ago.

when they were babies they crawled at two weeks and walked at one month old. By the time they were six they were driving a scooter. A bike? Never bothered with it.

grimly, it said "Happy Birthday"....well, it said "The Queen Mother is especially pleased to receive your note about our birthdays, and would like to wish..."
The crazy thing is, I didn't write to the Queen Mother. My father did, on some drunken lark, presumably.
If she HAD made any demands of worldly goods and chattels it would have been hilarious because:
I was 11 years old and -
I live in America.
I still have the note.
it's really a form letter signed by the Queen Mother.
But it's mine, damn it!

That t shirt looks ironed... just check the sleeves.

it does, doesn't it? can't have been, though: at that time i was living in a hovel and didn't even own an iron.

it was probably the combined effect of the damp in my flat and the lack of ventilation; there must have been some kind of unintentional heat-pressing effect as it lay in a heap on my bedroom floor.

god. that flat. boak.

Ok, this is definitely going to rule this thread.
I am the only ILXor who witnessed the president of Mexico's daughters being spirited away from an American boarding school because Mexico gave the Shah of Iran asylum.
1980, I think.
It was very weird.
or maybe it was a former president of Mexico... anyway. the CIA came in to the dorm and literally carried them away.
Because their lives were in danger once the asylum had been granted, so they were, I suppose, flown directly to Mexico.
I don't remember their names.
I remember being woken up to allow the "spiriting away" of the girls, and being impressed with the efficiency that the agents had with packing. It was all over in minutes.
