Big Shout Going Out.
For James and Faye of Palace Fan who is going to be a Dad. It appears that junior season ticket holder is going to make an almost on schedule appearance, but at the time of blogging is taking a bit of time about it.
Killing An Arab
It was actually a wheeze thought up by Jo Nicholls. Everyone drop into their post Transpocalyse reports a mention of Siobhan and the Arab to see what would happen. People did, Siobhan bit and it was great and now it's over. But I've had the Cure song running through my head ever since the weekend, hence the title.
When we hit the bar next door to the hotel, Milano's at 6:35 I heard a disheartened wail from Becky, "We are the only one's here"
"Sit down, don't worry, I'll get us a drink, they are just being fashionably late"
For a wee while Becky was "the only tranny in Milano's" but eventually the rest started to arrive.
All in all only staggering over to the Chinese restaurant 20 minutes later than we said we would was pretty impressive. The larger the group the higher the cat herding properties are, tranny or non tranny.
I've seen office does fall through because it is impossible to get 10 people organised enough to go out on the same night and we all live in the same area. That Becky managed to get a group of about 20 people from all across the country into the restaurant less than an hour late is stunning.
There isn't much more to say really that hasn't been said by now, it was great to meet people who I've only seen as pixels on a monitor. And it was especially nice to meet Steph Angel's partner Tracy, it's women like her and mini Sophie who remind me that I'm not mad or weird or wrong for enjoying going out with a tranny.

Transpocka transpolcays transapoc Birmingham
I'm still recovering from the self inflicted headache I woke up with morning. Transpocalypse was a resounding success I think a good time was had by all and we certainly gave a lot of people in the Chinese restaurant something to talk about on Monday at work.
I'm still sorting out the photos which can be found here I will try to write out a fuller report on Monday once my head has finally stopped pounding.
Becky should be congratulated on organising such a splendid do, but just one thing Bex, please next time choose a name that I can spell ;-)

It's snowing
It snowing - well it's trying to. The office is trying to decide whether a couple of small flakes make a flurry.
I say no.
It is bitterly cold though, my plans for what am going to wear tomorrow night in Birmingham are rapidly changing, from a skimpy top to thermal undies from Damart and a more Nanook of the North look.

10,000
I've had my 10,000th visitor today.
like my 5,000th visitor it was a brief look see and off again, never mind.
However my 9,999th visitor was my friend Charlotte I recognised her work's ISP.
Today's Should Have Been Working came from:-
The Constuction Industry Training Board they were looking for the phone number of the newly opened King's Lynn branch of Frankie and Benny's. I am the number one result in the world for "frankie and bennies - kings lynn - telephone number" it's things like that that makes being a blogger worthwhile. Anyway being an obliging person here is the number:- 01553 666 300 please don't all book at once apparently it has been chocka since it opened.

Flock
Flock is the new pre beta web browser that there has been a bit of a buzz about recently, it hopes to reinvent how we use the web by integrating common tools together. I am already thinking that I could get very used to their approach to blogging. Instead of having to go through several screens on blogger you can press a button in the top bar of the browser screen and a window pops up which you can compose and edit from. The link creation is not as easy as it is in blogger but I'm sure they are working on that. The really neat thing is that I can view all the public photos in my flickr stream and drag and drop it into the body of this post so that it can be seen after publishing. There seems to be a lack of formatting tools for the pictures, the spell check doesn't work yet and I can't find how to preview but I'm loving the drag and drop facility so far. But the test is in the posting so here goes.
