Literally dozens upon dozens of calls, and nothing in Whitby for the Gothic Weekend.
The nearest B&B we can get is in *Sleights*.
I've been offered large, ergo very expensive houses in Newholm, Dunsley, Robin Hood's Bay, Hawkser - all about an hour's walk from Whitby.
I leapt with joy when we were offered something (VERY expensive though) in Ruswarp, which is 1.5 miles away, and walkable..... but Brian won't let me book it. He's adamant we're going to get something IN Whitby.
We are NOT going to get anything in Whitby. It is simply not going to happen. Brian thinks the Magic Accomodation Fairy is going to appear and wave her wand; that is really not going to occur.
The exact words from the Whitby Tourist board when I said I had been offered something in Ruswarp was "Snap it up straight away". But Brian says no it has to be Whitby or nothing.....
We are going to end up NOT going to the Whitby Gothic Weekend.
I can't believe this has happened to us twice. I book over six months in advance EVERY SINGLE TIME, I *NEVER* leave it till the last minute, God must really hate me.
And I'm UTTERLY pissed off. Brian promised me this morning he'd be happy with anything I found; then did nothing but turn down EVERY SINGLE (admittedly, lousy) OPTION I phoned him up with. I don't think he REALISES that every single lousy, too expensive, too far out etc lead I rang him with took ME about six calls to get...... but he's not willing to do it himself, he says he can't use the phone at his work, so I have to sort something for us.
I really feel sick and so fed up I could weep.
I'm reaching the stage I just don't want to go now. Well, hey, there's a Magic Wish a fairy might well be able to wave her wand and make happen. |

Well, our accomadation for Whitby's just cancelled on us - if anyone can help us sort out something at short notice, your help will be super-appreciated..
Just me and Brian.....
Were planning to stay Wednesday - Tuesday, but will take any period we can get.
Help us, we're cute amd fluffy and we need to go to Whitby......
*cries* can't believe this has happened to us AGAIN

I'm sure loads of people have posted this on LJ already (as I am just so behind the times an' not a kewl hip kid 'n all), but Joss Whedon's just posted a supervillian musical online that he put together during the Writers' Strike last year!
http://www.drhorrible.com/
Part one was released yesterday, part two comes out tomorrow, part three comes out on Sat, and then it all gets taken down again on Sunday - so hurry up and watch it !!! (so ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nigelmouse we'll be needing the use of your laptop over this weekend mate :-)
It's bizarre but fun, and features Nathan Fillion (Captain Mal from Firefly) and Neil Patrick Harris (Barney from "How I Met Your Mother") along with one of the blokes from The Big Bang Theory.
Enjoy! (particularly you, darkapotheosis)

| In response to David Cameron’s recent comments about the Blair Cabinet:- |
[May. 10th, 2007|05:58 pm] |
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6638593.stm
[Street scene – a rundown alley on a dark, miserable foggy night lit only by a pendulous and foreboding full moon.
Enter DAVID and MRS. CAMERON, hand in hand. They glance nervously from side to side as they proceed down the alley. DAVID is dressed in a bizarre red leather jump suit and sports a curly 1980’s style perm.
Enter stage right: a shambling wave of groaning, moaning living dead, which begin to stumble their way towards DAVID and MRS. CAMERON. Too late, they realise the alley is a dead end! They stop and turn to face the lurching undead.
As the head zombie approaches, the true horror of their predicament is unveiled: this fetid abomination is an UNDEAD TONY BLAIR!!!!
Cue music. Cameron starts moonwalking as a funky bassline kicks in.]
TO THE TUNE OF MICHAEL JACKSON’S THRILLER:-
It's close to midnight
And something evil's a-lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart You try to scream
But Tony takes the sound before you make it
It's not a dream
Next Gordon hits you right between the eyes
You're paralysed
Cos this is Laaaabour.... Labour Night
They took us to Irag and then swapped peerages for money and for
Faaavours..... Labour Night
You're losing civil rights because of Labour, Labour, tonight
[cue Vincent Price-esque Voiceover]
Darkness Falls Across The Land
The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood
To Terrorise Your Neighbourhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found
Without The Love of Gordon Brown
Must Stand And Face A Black Damnation
Of Cameron Administration
The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Britain's Tory Years
And Grizzy Ghouls From Every Tomb
Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive
Your Courage starts to Waver
For either is a Frightsome Choice
Conservative or New Labour……
[close with evil ringing laughter, and darkness] |

| A Question |
[May. 10th, 2007|12:23 pm] |
I've written something that (well, at least I think) is actually quite funny and very very topical. Like, might not be so funny tomorrow as it is today, topical type thing. Anyone suggest a good topical humour site/newspaper site/whatever where I could post it?
I'll happily post it here too, but if I can get a writerly credit somewhere more visible out of it too that would be cool. I may even just post it to the BBC or something I guess.
Any suggestions much appreciated, Sho x
(on the other hand you might all think it's rubbish but it amused me mightily) |

[Feb. 13th, 2007|10:55 am] |
| Dating Strengths | Dating Weaknesses |
|---|
1. Sense of Humor - 85.7%
2. Generosity - 73.3%
3. Confidence - 72.2%
4. Adventurousness - 66.7%
5. Kindness - 63.6%
| 1. Appearance - 66.7%
2. Financial Issues - 63.6%
3. Vanity - 58.3%
4. Temper - 50%
|
| Dating Strengths Explained |
|---|
Sense of Humor - Men are attracted to people with a good sense of humor. Be sure to put yours on display!
Generosity - You are a giving person by nature. Others will see this quality in you and recognize your kind nature. Take care not to let others take advantage of you.
Confidence - You are sure of yourself and confident of your abilities. Displays of confidence go a long way when attracting a date.
Adventurousness - You are willing to try new things and be spontaneous. You want to get out there and really live, and you will attract people with a similar love of life.
Kindness - You treat other people with empathy and goodwill. This positive trait helps you stand out and draw people into your warmth.
| | Dating Weaknesses Explained |
|---|
Appearance - Devoting a greater effort at making good first impressions is a must. Try to be fit and develop a style if you want to catch a man's attention.
Financial Issues - Your financial situation is not in good shape, and this does not bode well for you on the dating scene. Try to get on top of your financial difficulties.
Vanity - Learn to put a lower priority on looks. Appearance is, of course, important, but vanity is undesireable. The only people you will attract are the superficial.
Temper - You need to work on controlling your temper. Don't let your anger get the best of you. A calm and rational persona is important when dating.

 | You scored as Marianne Dashwood. Most girls can relate with Marianne on a more personal level than some of Austen's other characters. She represents the emotional longings and struggles that seem to attack and bless us at the same time. Loyal to a fault, passionate for experience and life, and a bit over-emotional, Marianne matures and grows (making her so beloved).

 | You scored as Rita Hayworth. You're the one who has the most fun. People are attracted to you because you don't pretend to be anything but what you are. You know you are attractive and like to play on that - which makes you even sexier. However, when it calls for you to be serious, like Rita, you need to know that only hard work will get success.
comment and rate this quiz... thankyou!

| Le Weekend??? |
[Jan. 5th, 2007|01:51 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| | bored | ] |
.... Plans for le weekend? Anybody got any exciting going on then? - I know it's gothadh's birthday and I wish I could be there sweetie but have a good one when it comes!
This weekend, I am going to (a) lie down and cough lots and possibly start the antibiotics the doctor gave me if it don't improve, (b) tidy my pit of a place up a bit, (c) sort through bills etc, (d) go to the cinema. Haven't decided between Stranger than Fiction or Happy Feet, (e) eat the Marks and Spencer prawn curry that's in my fridge, (f) possibly pop out to visit the invalid (Ems) for a bit. In other words, a quiet(ish) one.
If, like me, you haven't got anything exciting going on, then please feel free to do one of the following:-
a.) make something really outrageous and silly up and lie through your teeth so I'm really jealous about your colourful weekend of zorbing/plundering major ports of the caribbean/rampant decadence of withnailesque proportions/secret ninja training, or
b.) text me if you're in Glasgow (tell me your name in the message, too, please - most of my contacts are still gone) and fancy cinema or drinkies.
Hope everyone has lots of fun!!! x X x |

I'd love to see Bedlam, Lash, Ascension, the Wendyhouse, Cornucopia, Bitch or Club Noir make their well-deserved place as one of the UK's top club nights on polls everywhere!!

I knew what I was going to get before I did this Tarot Card quiz. I always get the same thing whenever I do these, and on the odd occasion I've had my cards physically read, this card has been mentioned twice as something I've a strong association with (twice of the three times I've been read).
( any guesses what it is, yet? lol )
Hope yer all having fun out there and apologies for meme overload |
