Was Practice too hard today again?
Thought you were not getting anywhere?
Fingers ached a bit did they?
Not sure if you made as much progress as hoped for?

Here is something I believe will make you never ever think of complaining again, in the piano department that is....

But, this could be enough to inspire some well-meaning but slightly insensitive soul here at PW to change their screenname to TenLeftBigToes... wink

Er, cos were british! Mind you, we dont understand why you have taken vowels out of words like say "color" instead of Colour.
We think vowels must cost a lot in the USA or , there is a shortage of them.
Anyways, there is no such language as "USA" you are meant to speak English, preferably like we do.
We English are famous for not wanting to or seeing the need to speak other languages, we believe everyone should and will eventually learn english.

Just to make it easier, we keep changing it a lot.
And the really weird thing is, technically there is no such thing as English, it is made up of old germanic words, latin words, anglo/saxon words, some french, greek and other stuff.

Japanese is meant to be harder, but I haven't tried that because I am English.

Is that because you don't have any toes?

Wayne, no I hadn't !! Tonight I had not been thinking about strapping girly thighs at all, (well only now and again) but now you mentioned rhianna, you set me off, Rhianna has got strapping girly thighs, but I still think that Jeri Ryan, shirley Manson, Milla Jovovich, are better suited to be in my new harem that I am making.
