Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

an entire day spent sitting at my desk at work waiting to go home. I was reduced to watching Rush on Youtubes. Actually I quite like Rush, but after a couple of hours of letting my brain shrink I simply couldn't think of anything more current or interesting.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

I've now finished work and so can look forward to laying in tomorrow and then doing nothing but watching the fox trying (and failing badly) to catch pheasants in the garden.

at some point I'm sure I'll watch some telly and no doubt have a teeny-weeny beer type drink while i'm at it.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

And I read that as' watching Fox trying to catch peasants' - and for a moment it made perfect sense as a Helenism.

Rush (none / 0)

I am guessing you're referring to the Canadian band and not American drug addict.
