Agreed. I'm just about the only one in the office. Demotivated City.

Er, you do know where the Benny's Cobweb eyes quote originates from, don't you ... Miss Diane?

Features in Fall track "Who Makes The Nazis?" - This is an allusion to 'Crossroads'(first incarnation). In the late 70s and early 80s, one of the show's best known characters was Benny Hawkins (Paul Henry), a sort of gentle-giant simpleton figure who always wore a woolly hat. He was meant to be pathetic, and was regularly used as a punching-bag for fortune - he was illiterate, his girlfriend got killed off, a Mrs Prewitt made him sleep in a garden shed, and for a while he was blinded. When his eyes were being examined, he said to the doctor 'I can't see nothing, doctor... only cobwebs!'

Tell me about it. There's about 5 of us here, the office is freezing, I've got nowt to do and I'm still full of cold from since before Christmas. Hurumph. Just what is the point of these inbetween Chrimbo and New Year days?

Anyway, what I always wanted to know is, what the hell is wrong with brown eyes?! ;)

Yep, I know what it's like. My sadistic boss makes us all sit here doing nought (because there is bugger-all to do and he knows it but he derives a sense of enormous wellbeing from watching us hating him).

Still, all it's not lost, I have checked several jobsites (not very busy these days to be honest), arranged to have my flat's boiler checked, booked tickets for the weekend and searched for good pubs for tomorrow night). :moon:

Dated a girl from 1987-1990 whose eyes did indeed change between the 3 colours. I hadn't noticed but her sister pointed it out after hearing Temptation.

I wonder where she is now...

I've got really dark brown eyes with long lashes. Girls seem to like them, but I've always got eyelashes falling into my eyes.
