Feel free to add that to your repertoire of dinner party anecdotes. You can even tell it as though it happened to you.<br /><br />Rosie - Trumped you both, ha.<br /><br />Tessa - Thanks. But I liked the ending of the Sopranos. I may well expand on that in my reply to Radge.<br /><br />Kitty Cat - From about September onwards every Spanish student moans "Eeez so cold in Dublin." I finaly snapped the other day and asked a couple of them "Did you think Ireland was in the Mediterranean?"<br /><br />Annie - You need to watch The Sopranos. Quit Facebbok and you'll have heaps of time for it.<br /><br />Jo - Not a heap of jobs going for the missus in the Irish language sector in Brazil, but. <br />Apparently the owner of the circus that the wallaroo may have come from was on Joe Duffy claiming it was "just a man in a kangaroo suit."<br /><br />Radge - You're not alone in that at all. I liked it, Rosie liked it, and I'm reliably informed Eli Mordino liked it. People just seem to expect dramatic Hollywood endings without even the slightest hint of ambiguity, it seems, and The Sopranos was never going to do that.<br />We've watched the first couple of seasons of Six Feet Under and liked it very much. But we stopped watching for a bit after we got engaged because it made us far too preoccupied with the seemingly impending death of the other one. And then the owner of the boxset reclaimed it for someone who would be quicker with it, so we've yet to resume.<br />Giving a run to something called Carnivale at the moment, in tandem with Deadwood. It's got to the stage where I automatically trust anything with an HBO sticker on it.<br /><br />Regina - Cheers. The first time round I was actually quite shocked by how much I missed having stuff to do. I thought I would be far happier as an idler than I am.<br />And it's lovely to hear that you've been reading, as I follow your own musings keenly.<br /><br />Janelle - Asante sana, dada. Teaching in Arusha is not the worst idea, but I don't know if it suits right now. Either way, I'm hoping to pay a visit to Moshi in the next couple of years, so I'll let you know if we're there. I miss the fucking view there.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170574944537866579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337056659803732067.post-33891783235514791992010-10-24T16:08:55.200+01:002010-10-24T16:08:55.200+01:00pole SANA re" job....! come teach at braeburn...pole SANA re" job....! come teach at braeburn in Arusha!? always looking for good teachers...you teach English, hey?? x j and ps: lovely fucking views around these parts, as you know.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125077795925721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337056659803732067.post-8193244859741636892010-10-24T12:46:37.202+01:002010-10-24T12:46:37.202+01:00Hi Andrew - I haven't posted on your blog befo...Hi Andrew - I haven't posted on your blog before, but I've been reading.
