We now own an Apple Mac, but can’t access the internet yet.
Geoff seems very enthusiastic, as he hopes to use the Garageband facility to make *new music* and, in his own words “to become the next Nathan Barley”.
The thought of being married to a forty six year old man who wears red denim skinny jeans and a swirly patterned “nu rave” hoodie doesn’t fill me with enthusiasm, I must say.
Still, that’s all in the future. As of tomorrow, we’ll be on holiday for a fortnight.
When we get back … well, who knows what the future holds as far as this blog is concerned? I really would like to get back to my **real** blog. It all depends on whether or not Blogger LET ME BACK INTO MY HOME (sob).
I don’t want to continue being left out of commenting on other people’s blogs but assuming that an ever-dwindling audience will come over here to carry on supporting me, as if I’m some dilettante former A-list twat. Well, a cursory glance at my stats will reassure me that I’m still very much a dilettante Z-list twat, which at least stops me getting too big for my boots. The way things are going, with readers being lost by the hour, I’ll end up being a minus Z-list twat, too.
What a to do.
Anyway, see you around (if you’re still around), with any luck. Take care of yerselves.
Enjoy your hols! With no rain or menstrual difficulties this time, eh?
Hey, there’s no “preview” button on this thing. I see we can only “submit.” How pervy.
Thanks MJ. No rain forecast yet, and the first non-menstruating holiday since puberty, it seems.
I enjoy having to submit. Don’t fight the feeling.
Enjoy your Mac, Betty.
I’ve got seven of the buggers and I love ‘em.
You can post as much Leo-nard Nim-oy (say it like that – it sounds great!) as you like and it still won’t stop me visiting, so there.
Have a lovely flat holiday, both.
Enjoy both the holiday and the mac … I’ve got 2 now and love ‘em … no spam!
Dive – blimey, Mac owners do become … evangelical, don’t they? Doesn’t Maximum Bob own about half a dozen Macs as well? Or do they start breeding, like rabbits? A bit of a worry. We only have a small house.
Arabella – thank you. I’m sure it will be a flat holiday in so many ways. Better that than an up and down holiday. I’m glad I’ve got at least one reader who has pledged to visit here again, anyway.
Belle – thanks! The lack of spam sounds quite promising. I hope we enjoy the holiday. At least the weather’s looking promising.
They do breed, Betty.
Actually, because my job invloves high end 3D creation, our IT department has to give me all the latest Macs when they come out, so I’ve got four at work and three at home, and more about to come in. That’s on top of the old ones cluttering up the attic. And my personal iMacs. Yikes! I’m a Mac bore. You gotta admit, though; Steve Jobs is sexier than Bill Gates.
Have a great time away. Glad you have got a Mac – how exciting. Don’t worry – I’ll be here dusting the misty buff dralon curtains and doing the shake’n'vac until you get back. xx
Have a wonderful holiday.
You are certainly on my z- list
Are you back yet?
HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!
SUCH IS THE AWESOME POWER OF MY BLOGGER-FU!
MY BLOGGER FU IS UNBEATABLE!
YOU CANNOT DEFEAT MY AWESOME BLOGGER FU!
damn. you really posted nimoy.
dammit, i am suffering from the same problemo
i can barely post on other people’s blogger blogs any more
i fancy i am being punished for resisting upgrading my blog, in true luddite fashion
so i am on the brink of going off in a cyber-strop to wordpress too
bonne vacances, betty!
why are the comments at the beginning and not at the end where they should be? Confusing for dimwits.
I’m back from working in Italy and I’ve found you! Phew. I tripped over a rusting Hotpoint on the way here and stubbed my toe on what looked like an old mangle, but thank goodness there’s still a utility room.
Anyone for a (virtual) Jaffa cake while I’m here?
Boy have I had probs finding you too. . .No probs betty we shant forget you and your blogg old bean. . look forward to bloggin again, readin again on your old site.
Until then enjoy your holls you luck thing
see you soon hopfully on Bettys Utility x x
are you staying here now, then? i came over and haven’t regretted it – not hardly at all. i still can’t comment on blogger sites that don’t allow anonymous comment or other types of site though, because when i’m logged into wordpress, blogger pretends not to recognise my blogger login – bastard!
Oh god – are you still on holiday? When are you coming back – we are nearly running out of Shake’n'Vac and having to resort to Findus Chicken Pancakes from the emergency section of the freezer x
please come back, auntie betty
your loving nephew,
rodney b.
Dive – tonight is the night when we hope to install the new Mac, so I hope we don’t end up shouting, swearing, calling BT, getting to bed at three in the morning … if I seem to disappear until 2008, that’ll be the reason why. Btw, anyone is sexier than Bill Gates.
Rockmother – thank you. Those dralon curtains really have got to go. They’ve started to smell of death.
Z – thank you! Likewise. Z is a much better letter than A after all, as you have proved.
MJ – just about, although very battle scarred.
First Nations – I have no shame. I am a game old bird.
Urban Chick – I’ve still got a paranoid belief that Blogger are behind it all, and will even deny me access to the blog on the new computer. You are very brave not to have gone over to Betablogger. I salute your integrity.
Ziggi – WordPress are trying to avoid looking as if they copy everything Blogger does, and confuse everyone into the process. I’m still confused by WordPress myself.
Llewtrah – yeah, I was worried that the Utility Room would have been concreted over when I got back from holiday. Hope you enjoyed Italy.
Erindoors – thanks! I’m hoping to be back on the old blog soon, with any luck (and if things don’t go wrong with the installation. Famous last words).
Rivergirlie – I think I might keep this blog for some purpose or other if I can get access at Blogger again. Thing is, I don’t want to confuse readers and I have to say that I find Blogger easier to use, despite all its shortcomings.
Rockmother – Findus Chicken Pancakes! Yeuch (horrible childhood memories – the opposite of a Proustian moment).
Tim – I thought you were referring to Rodney “Thelma! Pet!” Bewes for a moment until I remembered the business with the TUC leaders. God, it seems years ago now …
