[Guest Always Good]

So it's a car. And why would you keep cds in a boot?

Agatha isnt just ANY car, shes Agatha Mk 3, named after all the cars my father had in the l950's when i was a kid - and the Alpha Romeo stereo system is like the car, l4 yrs old but in immaculate condition except the soft tops a bit worn so shes having a new one. The tape deck is on the dashboard integral with the radio but the 6 c.d's go in the boot in a casette but operated from the unit at the front - very funky............

The boot of the car is what we would call the trunk on this side of the pond.

ahem... And rubbers aren't something we use to erase pencil marks!

Several years ago we took a trip to London and took some students with us. We were riding on the tube approaching Leicester square, which is announced over the PA. One of the students with us, in her thick Kentucky accent says quite loudly and judgmentally "Why so they always have to pronounce everything here so funny? Why can't they just pronounce it the way it is spelled?" We were torn between trying to tell her that we were the ones slaughtering the language called ENGLISH, or whether to just throw her to the group of guys decked out in chains and Mohawks who were throwing us dirty looks.

[Charlize]

It would be so lovely if they could learn to speak english! But their silly out of date accent is so cute. I love to kid my english friends about that.

Hugs,

Charlie

[Guest AlexR]

Teehee! That's awesome Charlie!

Just to clarify, this was a college student (19-20 years old). She wasn't too young to know better, she was just an idiot!

[Guest Jaques]

when i was a child my english teacher made me stand in the corner for saying "ok" - she said "I will NOT have Americanisms in my classroom" - ha ha!

Know I'm in an odd mood-maybe it's the snow and long winter-maybe just a mood but right now I keep listening to Bird On A Wire. Especially the version by the Neville Brothers and the one by Jimmy Barnes. Never meant as much to me in all the years I heard it as it does now.

"I have tried in my way to be free"...........indeed.

Thank you.

[Guest Scarfy]

Various video game music(King of Fighters XIII, Yu Yu Hakusho 2(SFC), Sen no Kiseki). Guessing nobody else listens to the stuff, but hey.

Oh, and, I don't play any of those, either. I just listen to the music.

[Guest Mickey]

I have P!nk, Can't Take Me Home, going on youtube.

[Charlize]

"Oh Brother Where Art Though" sound tract. I love it as a country girl.

After hearing it on a commercial I downloaded a couple of versions of "I Gotta Be Me". Such a perfect anthem for us and our journeys. Just wish I could find a more modern version.

A correlary to it is the song "I'm not anyone". If you look up the words they are an amazing statement exactly how I feel. Both songs seem to define me in a way. The lyrics anyway.

Johnny

[Guest LizMarie]

Pentatonix, on YouTube. The more I hear of them, the more I love them!

[Guest Melissa~]

Juice Newton, Call me Angel of the Morning. From back when country music so...

I listen to Joni Mitchell a lot and Townes van Zandt.

I wish I could sing like Joni but I sound like Townes.
