European Tribune - Comments - Saturday Open Thread

Saturday Open Thread | 25 comments (25 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Two sets of people have left this house tonight, both to different themed fancy dress parties. One is 70s glamour, the other is Bohemia. Muggins is left transferring high res back ups and low res proxies from 23 gig Sony optical disks. This procedure involves going up and down two floors every 35 minutes for changeover and file maintenance.

We shall see who is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow morning.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (4.00 / 4)

Not one to question aged authority, but having passed successfully through the celebration of beating the arch-rivals just now, i must place for discussion a simple but pointed Fragezeichen...

Of what use exactly is the so-called "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" state?

We're inna meltdown, man. Go dancing.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (4.00 / 3)

That is one of the worlds most important questions, that normally would lead to a clamor for a diary. But even if a diary was written about it I doubt that any useful discussion would come from it

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Some of us, CH, have vowed to go with our boots-up on OR to die in 'the Bilnås chair with thin cushion designed and manufactured by the Singing D'.

IOW I shall die laughing and typing.

Re: Saturday Open Thread (none / 1)

I have taken the liberty of establishing a diary for the ponderment of these questions.
