and still no real word on the apartment. We gave references yesterday - they're being checked today. We're hoping for a contract tomorrow. Haven't managed to catch up with out current landlord yet... which is a worry as he could 'say anything.' We're hoping that 3 years in the building, no damage done and every payment on time will stand us in good enough stead with him to make his recommendation good.
News here talking about "Popcorn Lung"... there's a chemical in microwave popcorn that gives it a buttery flavor.. and gives people in the factory lung disease. Now it seems that lardy microwave popcorn users have the same condition. Who'd have thought? Two bags of popcorn a day, from a microwave oven, with a chemical topping tyhat tastes 'buttery' could be bad for you.
Oh and Pavavorotti is dead. How's that for an obit?

Yes, fat old pav finally popped it
What i want to know is this... why were the taxpayers of Britain (and presumably others countries too) making his children rich?
In the last ten years or so, everytime he popped up in the UK he demanded millions in appearance fees, that could only be met by arts subsidies that could have gone to... you know... struggling british people in the arts - not fat millionaire Italians.
He was a true musical great... like Jagger... and McCartney... yet we don't expect the taxpayer to fork out for them. We expect the ticket sales to pay for it. Ricki Gervais is fat and popular and demands huge appearaance fees... again... no subsidy there.
So why opera singers? And why pay millions to an ailing old man who was never going to live to spend it anyway - it just all went to his family.
Great voice, but shameless parasite really.
