I don't get the ballgown + pants?

I remember reading your early posts when you started, and you sounded quite chipper then; I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

Treat yourself this weekend to celebrate your escape.

Let me see if I can help on this one (although I may be well off the mark).

In England there are two meanings for the word 'pants'.

One is trousers, which is used in some places in the North of England, and the other is 'underpants' which is used pretty much everywhere else (especially the South)

Now, could it be that 'pants' in this instance means underpants?

White Christmas coming up? Can you stop the snow on the weekend please. I have to drive and haven't been in winter conditions for 4 or 5 years now

Hmmm - better to issue a warning for all the other drivers: Move over, Kat on the road

Dreading have to walk to my car after work. Temperatures have dropped a bit here. Like 20 degrees C in 24 hours.

From 10C to -10C .... Stupid weather!

Snow? Is there snow!! Damnit, if I don't see some snow soon, or hear about some, I'm going to go mad! If you get snow, make a Mobileread snowman, with a snow liseuse, reading a snow copy of a snow text, but not by snow Dan Brown!

If it's snow, it would be Dan White, not Dan Brown... no?

But alas, no snow yet, is cold due to the skies beeing clear, so no snow yet. But it's suposed to snow tomorrow I think.

my cats are apparently dwarves, i hadn't realised. the big one is about 6ko (and quite fat for her size), the little one is probably about 4ko (and just right for her size, although maybe a little on the plump size).

wow. i'm amazed. i don't think that has *ever* happened to me. i have a few items on my list which have been there for several years ! and they probably will still be there when i die.

that is why i have made a clean break with my past, and have blocked out everything before the age of 22 (with the exception of 1 friend from high school i am still in touch with, and a few friends from uni). i don't need to know that stuff about my classmates !

i am still a bit perplexed when someone i don't know decides to follow me on twitter. why ??? i mostly use it for following other people, so i don't say much at all, and what i *do* say can't be very interesting for strangers at all. it's just beyond me.

First I had to get a ballgown - don't have any here in Oz, OH can't dance and anyway we don't do formal here (No one can do formal as good as the Germans, and maybe the Austrians).

photo please !

me too. unless we are talking about Vienna of the Belle Epoque ? (she did say austria too). in which case we will need a train ticket *and* a time machine.

possibly, but when i am at a very formal event i usually try to avoid showing my underpants !
