I can laugh about it now but at the time I was really annoyed with myself. I used to do it a lot actually. Now I have to actually see my front door keys in my hand before I'll close the door. I've given myself OCD over it.

People die from cancer every day, and lets face it, almost everyone we know who has suffered or is suffering means more to us individually than Jade Goodey does. That said, I feel for her kids, poor loves. Mind you, I felt sorry for them before she was even ill.

One in three people will have cancer at some point in their life. When I am with a group of people, I often find myself remembering this and doing a mental head-count. There are five people in my immediate family - statistically at least one of us will get cancer, and I have no hesitation in saying that if it happens, I hope its me. Its a horrible horrible thing.

Yesterday was World Cancer Day - I struggled to find any publicity, any campaigns, any awareness events in the media. Bonkers.

[Bonanzoid]

I currently don't have anywhere to stay tomorrow. Shit.

Oh well, my objectives have been changed.

[SAV1OUR]

Can't the BBC take a bloody day off?? Apart from the usual bashing it turns out Radio 2 shows cost more than Radio 1's. Why is it that the bastards are trying to make it sound like its a BAD thing for commercial radio to cost less than BBC shows?! It's a good thing you idiots! Inventing their own misery for the nation yet again.

Oh, and why should star's pay be scruitinised yet again?? They're doing a good job, theres no need to treat them like they've got something to hide, they haven't.

[SAV1OUR]

I was saying the other day, a while back the BBC had this little advertising thingy where inbetween programmes they'd have a short segement showing what they 'do'. One of those segments was to do with the Big Weekend, it featured a camera positioned on the site (Maybe Preston) and it fast forwarded the whole weekend, the tent going up, the tent going down, in about 30 seconds, with the slogan at the end 'This is what we do'

YES, this is what they do, they don't make profit, they have Comic Relief, while some shit at the Star writes crap about Moyles he's busy preparing to climb a mountain, rather him than me, but, yes, these are the things they like to DO.

He speaketh the truth. The boy's in Spain and getting kicked out his hostel tomorrow and his flat isn't ready till next Sunday. These are all bad things.

[MK Chris]

That is bad. Why aren't you able to stay on a bit longer at the hostel Bonanzoid?

[foot-loose]

He said the place was fully booked tonight. He's hoping to find another hostel today.

My advice was to get himself arrested so he could stay in a police station overnight. Or to buy an overnight train ticket somewhere. Then buy another one back again.

He called me a tit.

[Yudster]

I hope he finds somewhere. Its no fun being stranded, and being stranded in your less fluent foreigh language is not what you want.

[Bonanzoid]

I've managed to get another hostel for tonight, a pretty shit one I think, then back to my current for the next 2 nights. I really need to find a flat though, s'mo easy.

[S4B]

Glad you have somewhere to stay tonight Bonan. We could all club together and send you a one man tent if that would help?

[Bonanzoid]

You don't understand how basic my Spanish is. Unless "My name is David" or "I am from Scotland" are pickup lines then I'm *.

[S4B]

"I am from Scotland" works on me, provided it's said in a sexy Scottish accent.

[Munki Bhoy]

Try "Donde es ra boaby?" That might work.

[Bonanzoid]

I have a rough idea what you mean there Munki, yet not too sure. 'Ra'?

[Munki Bhoy]

Parleamaglesga. Ra = the.

[Bonanzoid]

Still lost.

[foot-loose]

Still lost.

Is that the name of that programme featuring two old Scottish guys (Jack and Victor) who are the survivors of some plane crash on a mysterious island?

[Sunny So Cal]

Parleamaglesga. Ra = the.

Oh my God, is the hypothermia setting in?!

[Munki Bhoy]

Okay, let us dissect. The sentence is made up of two languages. First half is Spanish. "Donde es" basically meaning "Where is" (but usually "Where is x from" because I don't actually know Spanish properly). Second half is more Glasweigan dialect. "Ra boaby" basically referring to male genitalia. "Ra" being glaswegian for "the". So think "ra good, ra bad and ra ugly". Similar to the yorkshire "t". As in "t'good, t'bad and t'ugly".

Note, more often than not is is preceded with the word "for". Or more accurately, "fur". Sometimes these are concatenated, so you'll see the word "furra". So go into a Glasgow chemist and say "anyhin furra boaby?" and you might be handed condoms or viagra.

So ends the lesson. You too can talk "pure ned man".

[Yudster]

Was that Swahili?

[Bonanzoid]

I thought I already understood "pure ned man", but the term 'ra' for the is a new to me. Everything else I got, that just threw me off.

And, just to be a prick, if you want to ask where something is it's always "Dondé está?" not 'es'.

[MK Chris]

And, just to be a prick, if you want to ask where something is it's always "Dondé está?" not 'es'.

Just to be more of a prick, surely it should be "¿Dondé está?"

[Bonanzoid]

Yes it should. However I'm not on a Spanish keyboard and therefore cannot be arsed looking up character map. Ya dick!

[Munki Bhoy]

I wish I could have done Spanish at school. We had either French or German. I did German, and it only ever came in handy when I went over for the last World Cup.
