Loz

HMV and Virgin basically have to battle each other until one of them goes bust. It's the only way the other has a chance of surviving as a company. All the fast-food talk is making me hungry. My fave fast food in the UK is Nandos. Without a doubt. Followed by Maccy D's breakfast muffins. Has anyone tried the Maccy D's deli sandwiches? I'm not sure whether to risk it.

Jess, you are such a cutie. I love the way you talk about 'the boys'. Although when I talk about 'the boys', I'm referring to something very different.

I'm not sure I'd want to know what's in the secret forums!! I'm meant to be writing tonight. But I've actually been making a collage of my New Year's Eve polaroids and browsing on here.

Congrats Merc.

All power corrupts, guys, just remember that. Why is it that whenever anyone refers to having power, I want to start singing the alternative words to the 'He-Man' theme tune? 'He has the power to pick up a flower, it may take an hour... or two'. Not that I'm directing that at anyone.

I think we have a few of those. Happy New Year, Si-Co. Congrats on the mod thing. Although you becoming green made me notice that Dan F has become blue. Probably ages ago, but apparently observation isn't my specialist subject.

I don't think you're a b**ch. Providing you mean a *it**. And not a *ut**. Or a *at**. But no. I don't think that. Liz, is it going to get confusing having a Loz and a Liz around the place?

Who thinks you're a b**tch? Happy New Year, everyone.

Hmmm. 'The Hunger' is my joint favourite movie of all time. (The one with Catherine Deneuve). Is that what 'The Hunger: Vampires' is? And if so... what is the 'The Hunger: Twisted Spells'? Just out of interest.

At least it's not pink.

@ Jess. Drinking it, of course. Actually, it was a present from my mother to my g/f. So it says more about my mother's classiness (or lack thereof) than it does about mine. Oooh, and I just remembered, my mother gave *me* flavoured vodka shots. And I haven't drunk them yet. Yay. Shloer... what is that? Sparkling grape juice?

Nope. But I've just realised there's a half-empty bottle of pink champagne on my bedside table. I am *so* tacky.

Thanks. Mate.

I could put a clue in my signature... but I don't think I will. Most people I talk to a bit will know it's me. The others will find out. Or not care.

Actually I was trying to take advantage of the fact that we've actually met so we count as 'knowing' each other, Dan. But your good nature will do just as well. And thanks, Di. This feels so much more... me.

Cool. *Eyes Dan F sidelong*

I'd quite like to change my bttb nickname too. I've been thinking about it a while. Who do I have to put the request to?

Hmm... I'm hoping you mean the one with Laurie, because in the other one I look *well* dodgy. Yeah, nice to see the Oldies resurrected. Except that I'm so rarely on here at the moment I miss half of the old Oldies... like Ryan and Karl.

Hey... nobody cops a feel of me unless I'm drunk, y'hear? *hugs Jess* *ruffles Jess's hair* Icons... well, duh! More Laurie ones, of course. Always more Laurie ones.

Hey guys! Glorious weather so I've been having a barbie in the garden. I'm now giving myself a sun exposure break for exactly thirty minutes. ! I didn't know Jess had started posting in here. Hiya girly!

See, that's interesting. Because people thought *I* was *male* because of my Laurie avatars. So you can't win.

It says 'Mr' Angie Russell underneath his name!

Let me rephrase that: until somebody evil reminded me of one, there weren't painful reminders.

Thanks guys for trying to cheer me up. But it'll be hard to see the Aussie sunshine through my tears. At least when I watch Emmerdale, there aren't painful reminders everywhere I look. And it's a show where I actually really like at least half of the characters. How many viewers can say that about H&A?

Oh no!!! That makes no sense. Scott really has shown he cares about Zoe. Unless it's her trying to force him... maybe she's gone a little loopy again... Great. I find a new favourite show and it's just like that backstabbing H&A.
