I was recording a radio brodcast house music set and accidently recorded it. I have kept the tape ever since ('04) and just pulled it out of my closet again while cleaning. The tape is labled "deep deep sound" and is marked to show where in the tape it starts! i plugged in the song lyrics to google and this is the ONLY posting that came up for the song! I recognized it by your description and knew this had to be the same song. So a big THANK YOU because you posted the track and artist in an update. Now I can go find my song in this big big music world. Oh I DO LoVE that song! ~cat OMG, I have this song on a tape. I was recording a radio brodcast house music set and accidently recorded it.

But this still pisses me off. I don’t bother with cycle lanes unless I absolutely have to use it (for example contra-flow ones on one-way systems). But this still pisses me off.

Or: what’s in a name (getting old?) by Sarah http://jontee.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/anyone-for-coffee-or-whats-in-a-name-getting-old/#comment-80 Sarah Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:49:13 +0000 http://jontee.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/anyone-for-coffee-or-whats-in-a-name-getting-old/#comment-80 I bridle at this too. In fact, the whole lactification of coffee in this country appalls me. I'm not a vegan, but I don't want vaguely coffee flavoured milk, I want coffee with a little milk, please. So white americano, not latte (or larrtay, as so many peoplelike to say)or cappuccino which in this country is completely indistinguishable from a latte. And what is it with the sizes? Since when did small become tall, medium become grande etc., etc.. I bridle at this too. In fact, the whole lactification of coffee in this country appalls me.

I like to ask for a "medium filter coffee please", just to see whether I get thrown out, or arrested. I’m with you on the Starbuckspeak.

]]> Comment on Why go vegan? by jontee http://jontee.wordpress.com/why-go-vegan/#comment-48 jontee Tue, 04 Dec 2007 09:19:23 +0000 http://jontee.wordpress.com/why-go-vegan/#comment-48 Hi Lucy. Glad you like the blog - thanks for the post - Well... this time around I've noticed no changes at all really (though I did go to the doctor last week and he commented 'so you've put on a couple of pounds - living the good life eh?' !!!). I'm pretty active, cycle everywhere and play a lot of sport (ultimate frisbee) so I think I'd have noticed it pretty immediately if the vegan diet was leaving me tired or whatever. It hasn't. Someone told me Carl Lewis had his best year when he was vegan so that's always seemed reassuring ... I do recall that when I went vegan the first time - 12 or so years ago - I found myself needing to eat much more regularly than before (which isn't the case this time). Looking back, and knowing now much more about how to cook and what to eat, I'd say that the difference is I realise now that it is really important you make sure you have some good low-GI / protein source with each meal (e.g. pasta or stirfry with tofu, not just with tomato sauce/fried veg; for a snack falafel or some fake meat filling not just a salady type sandwich; etc.). Otherwise you will (or I would) get hungry too quickly. This is dead easy, but requires a little bit of thought at first. Took me a couple of months for it to become second nature. Oh yes, and I make sure I eat marmite regularly for B12. Hope that is re-assuring/helpful. Good luck... Let me know if you need any more tips ! Jon Hi Lucy.

I'm newly vegan as well - I was for a long time a while back, then stopped when I moved to the middle east, now finally finding my way back. I was wondering if you might share some of your personal experiences being and becoming vegan. What changes in health (i.e., weight loss or gain, energy loss or gain, mental or intellectual changes, etc.) have you experienced since becoming vegan? There is a lot of scientific research, but I suppose I'm interested in personal stories a bit more. Were there any difficult aspects from a more physiological angle? Thanks and keep blogging! Lucy.
