Vale Billy Thorpe - Or Alternativly, stay strong Smokey Joe Camel

So its not been the strongest 24 hours to be a Lovell.

First we learnt that family talisman Jan 'the man' Ulrich had decided that the accusations where too much and he was quitting cycling, all of a sudden July was looking a lean month for Lovell expectations. Then, far too early for one so young, Billy Thorpe, leaving honorary Lovell member, B K Warwick without a hero, passed. We all have a favorite Billy Thorpe memory, but let me just say that trying to remember what mine was has left people saying I'm acting a little crazy...

Anyways, there are always positives in this sort of situation. First of all Kapitan I urge you not to cancel your flights for june/july until you read this story:

Second, it has been Smokey Joe Camel's birthday over here (no idea what date it is over there) and a few remarkable things have happened.

1st. old Joe Norks had an ephinany this morning, she realised that smoking was a bad thing, and she has decided to give it up- so next time you see her, if she is smoking, be sure to go mad at her.

2nd. We all got drunk (it was her birthday)

3rd. I had a whole list before but have forgotten them as I began writing this post.

So let me just bring you up to speed. Had a job interview for a slightly decnet job today, all fingers are crossed (especially Joe Camel after I promised her I would move out for her birthday if I got a job).

and that's about all, I'm sorry, when I started writing I thought I would have a lot to talk about, but really, I have found out that your very own TGO was first to bed on Saturday (otherwise known as the Pickle House Warming) but as I have tried to explain I am the worlds champion at early nights at house warmings (lousy the tunny's and their Cuavar ? who the fuck knows?) anyways, what do peiople expect of me, i propped the party up for as long as I could (if you know what I mean) if it turned into an extended bridge game after I went to bed what can I do?)

So anyways, thats the end of the post, except to say that the first call old Smokey Joe got for her 41st birthday was from one David K Lovell, now I don't know if that means that old Linda J Mcdermott/lovell/hall/Warwick is slipping or if the old man is getting better after 30 years of practice, but it is still a debate topic.

Cheers
