    Got texted earlier that an hour ago it was 09:09:09 on 09/09/09 and we will never see that time again. I can't believe I missed it :D :D :D I actually pointed out that technically it's 09/09/2009.

    It's not really anything special

    People seem to get really excited about these dates when there is one every year. Last year there was 08:08:08 on 08/08/08, next year there'll be 10:10:10 on 10/10/10 and the year after will be one that will make them lose control of themselves completely, 11:11:11 11/11/11

    Technically .....

    you are wrong on a couple of points.</p>

    1) Whatever the second / minute / hour / year .... etc ....... once it's gone, its gone. Capoot. Outa here. For good.</p>

    2) If you manage to hang around for another century, then at 9.09am on the 9th September 2109, then you might, just might, see it again.</p>

    Maybe its just the journalists and news outlets that imagine we get really excited. I here loads about these dates and times but I've never actually met anybody who gives a toss.

    @ supertyke... There isn't one every year, once it gets to 2013 it will be another 87 years til we get one, due to the stunning and mysterious absence of a 13th month...

    She's just worked her way through the dictionary and now he's got her studying logical thinking, punctuation and grammar. Nearly done now.

    I wonder how much real ale she's had to try.

    Went to a beer festival in Locke Park a couple of weeks back and I tried to like it, sampling a number of different beers, but after the 5th half it just tasted like someone had had a **** in me mouth. Had to get a bottle of lager.

    Very good!

    I like it

    And she likes some of the real ales....surprisingly likes stouts. (Which day did you go to the real ale festival Jay? We went on the Sunday - some excellent beers!

    She's adapting pretty well, although on occasion as she's been driving, turned into the road and been on the wrong side! That tends to be when no traffic around though!

    Not sure about "nicking our jobs" - she hates it! Got an interview on Sat for something else though so fingers crossed.

    We were there Sunday too

    There was certainly a lot of choice. I'm more cocktails than real ale.

    Got the chance to sample some real ale lately for free. Excelsior, Silver King, Pale Gold, Shepherd’s Boy Bitter and London Pride. Something with Nettles in the title as well. I think it's one from Ossett brewery. Thought Pale Gold was the best. When free it's much easier to drink and i've drank worse alcohol before.
