Comment on Snotting Hill by Pauline

Ooh, serendipity alert – I’ve been discussing ‘Tulip Fever’ today with a Facebook friend. Inspired by the Firestation Book Swap, I’m sending my copy of this lovely book to her in Barnstaple, in exchange for one of her favourite books, the name of which I forget (but I’m sure it will be wonderful).

5×15 sounds a fun idea, but I am stricken at the thought of your enduring 15 minutes of Brian Eno. All the evening needs is a ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ make-over, with large Xs on the stage and voting buttons for the audience. A lot more discreet for Notting Hill than catcalls or well-flung Maltezers (my missile of choice) but just as effective, no?

This never happens at supermarkets near me. I’m obviously in the wrong part of the country. It reminds me of when a student I used to teach came in on St Patrick’s Day with green hair, swearing blind he had Irish antecedents and was celebrating. I sent him to the Head of Year. He turned out to be as Irish as I am, which is not at all.

BTW, I’ve changed my blog address. I hope the new link works if you want it.

Are you sure it wasn’t you and Julie dancing in front of a mirror?

Anna-May I think this may have been an out-of -body experience. Check your body for possible probe type markings left by your green alien leprechauns— it happens all the time and to the least likely people.

Julie, If I went to the Doctor he/she would diagnose that I had been scammed.

Pauline, true £2 was v v v good value for arthritic dancing – and yesterday I had 2900 cals btw.

Jealous, now embarrassed. Cannot spell ‘leprechaun’. Am also sounding like Bridget Jones. V. bad.

Jealous. Not a leprachaun in sight at my supermarket, let alone shamrock deelyboppers. Surely worth £2 of anybody’s money for those alone, let alone Paddy McGinty’s Goat and the idea for today’s blog. A great ‘3 for the price of 2′ offer, if you ask me.

What a great scam – I can’t believe you gaev them money! I bet these gals are clinking glasses and toasting St Patrick in a bar with pints of Guinness. Either that or you need to see a doctor. Happy St Patricks Day!
