I'm thinking of coming to MTP for the Patti Smith show in late October at the Corum, and would want to talk to you about this idea then.Ed Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805932361842578943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052429.post-5173143906263744692007-08-29T15:41:00.000+02:002007-08-29T15:41:00.000+02:00Hello Ed, we are still waiting for you in Montpell...Hello Ed, we are still waiting for you in Montpellier.

Please do not throw paper on the floor." Which the residents of my building mostly ignore. There's also now a sign ordering us to break down boxes before throwing them away, which I expect will also be ignored. <BR/><BR/>Mt. P, I <I>love</I> the idea of a "gastronomy deliverance service." That's when you're staring at the stuff in your kitchen, feeling totally uninspired, dreading the idea of Bratwurst as a default, and the phone rings and friends say "Hey, put on your hat; we're taking you out to dinner!"

I'm always tempted to print up a little notice saying "That goes for YOU AS WELL, appliance repair people and gastronomy deliverance services".<BR/><BR/>What really irritates me are the occasional delivery places which attach their stuff to your apartment doorknob with an elastic band - a surefire way of announcing to all and sundry that you're not at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052429.post-67898069443484772372007-08-10T15:01:00.000+02:002007-08-10T15:01:00.000+02:00You're having your "silly season", Ed.
