It's f****ing cold!

Joseph complained that his face and hands were cold on the way to school, there was a definite chill to the air, as there still is now at 3.30pm.The house feels cold and it's time to start putting on the fire.
One of my favourite programmes on Tv in Hong Kong was the World Live that used to come on after the news or weather on TVB or ATV.I used to enjoy watching it with Joseph, who would say "Have you been there Daddy"? I often had, as it was quite often showing live pictures from various parts of Germany, where I lived for 8 years as a boy. I used to enjoy seeing Europe-live, being so far away in Asia. I switched on the Sky travel tv channel today and my heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw Hong-Kong-live.It would have been about 9pm on Friday night, and I imagined the multitudes of people in TST and all of the Gweilos in Lan Kwai Fong and the people I know in the Old China.I could see ferries on the harbour-were you on a ferry at 9pm on Friday?, if you were I was watching you!
I am pretty sure they don't have one trained on the Mersey, but I was in Travalgar square in the summer-Did you see me?
As in Hong Kong 'World Live' is only shown on the hour for a few minutes, shame really as I think I could quite happily watch a channel with just that on it all the time.
Well, it has now been pretty much 3 months since I was last in a pub.My parents are moving back to the UK next week and will be living in Southport.I am looking forward to visiting them and going to the pub, as there is no way that I will go to any around here on the Wirral.
I applied for a job in the jobcentre this week, I'll let you know how I get on.
Chinese lessons are going well, it is actually not as difficult as I thought it would be to read and write.
I am hoping that the price of chicken starts to plummet as bird flu panic spreads .It doesn't matter if something is safe to eat or not, people are just paranoid about food. They keep on mentioning the fact that 140 people have died from HN51 , what they don't say is that all of those people handled live birds, and that is over a 7 year period.I seem to remember that Bird Flu first appeared in Hong Kong in 1997/98, or maybe a bit later. I bet you 140 people have died from eating bananas since 1997.
