It's like trying to get blood out of a stone.

I've just used that expression in an e-mail to the BF. It made me think - who has ever been silly enough to even try? Where does that expression come from? Is it of biblical origin?

Going through the motions...

That expression makes me go "urgh" - because of the profession I'm in I supose - it gives me weird imagery. What expression or phrase don't you like - & why?

Have you ever been disowned?

My mum completely disowned me once in Boots in about 1979. Never mind genes & all things maternal - she turned her back on me & pretended she hadn't seen me when I knew darn well she had. Any Why?...

Reasons to be cheerful...

... I've just been reading through Ian Drury's List of Reasons (yes; incredibly busy here again today...) & very entertaining they are too. What would you list as a reason to be cheerful today?

Is anyone going to get laid tonight...

... and if so, will it be worth the effort - or will you end up thinking you could have got to sleep half an hour earlier, or not missed a good half of Jonathan Ross?
