I picked this meme idea up from Euan and Suw, type in www. followed by all the letters of the alphabet and see what gets prompted. How fascinating:

Now this is an interesting way to profile people, and it certainly helps the time fly whilst I'm watching the christmas pudding steam for 8 hours! Femke had the shock of her life as she helped me make it when she sneaked a spoonful of the mixture. Now usually cake mixes taste quite nice but the rum, barley wine and guiness made her spat it our and declare bah - to everyone in the kitchen!
What also helps pass the time is listening to Arrow Classic Rock who have their voted for top 500 rock tracks running for a few days, now rock on this dutch station has a broad remit, it has included today the quo, the cure, simple minds, marc almond, genesis, bowie, zep, ac/dc, the manics (yes!), fleetwood mac, supertramp, david sanbourne just to name a few. I like this broad defenition and listening to the radio all day is great, especially through my new platronics 90 headset (for skyping) so not to distub colleagues/family.
