    Alexander Koryagin:

    It was probably Monday, when I sent it, a hard day
    in Russia. ;) It is a hard day on the other side of
    the pond, too? Or it is a Russian phenomen only? ;-)

    Monday's hard nature permeates the Western culture, e.g.

    /Blue Monday/ by Smiley Lewis, covered by Fats Domino
    /Stormy Monday/, by T-Bone Walker

    I also remember /Monday, Monday/ by The Mamas and The
    Papas, but is not sad enough.

    Hello, Alexander!

    Monday December 15 2025 14:36, you wrote to Anton Shepelev:

    We have here different cultures. First one drinks hard on Sunday, the
    last day of the week after work, another one starts week gaily on
    Sunday. ;-)

    People fighting in Putin's stupid war drink every day, because death is breathing down their necks day in, day out.
    It's just sad that you are a daft bloke who can't see it himself and would rather sit at home like a mug, banging out an endless load of silly propaganda on Fidonet :)


    Best regards,
    dp.

    Seen in the blog of a Russian psychologist:

    Upon working without weekends for a couple weeks,
    Monday does not seem so horrible, but one's life
    does.

    Hi Anton,

    Fri 12 Dec 2025, 13:56, you -> Alexander Koryagin:

    It was probably Monday, when I sent it, a hard day
    in Russia. ;) It is a hard day on the other side of

    Monday's hard nature permeates the Western culture, e.g.
    /Blue Monday/ by Smiley Lewis, covered by Fats Domino
    /Stormy Monday/, by T-Bone Walker
    I also remember /Monday, Monday/ by The Mamas and The
    Papas, but is not sad enough.

    1985 "Manic Monday" by The Bangles, a great song too!

    ========
    It's just another manic Monday
    I wish it was Sunday
    'Cause that's my fun day
    My I don't have to run day
    ========

    For sure, that sounds familiar to most. :-)


    ... End of message, Anton. Confused? Me too! :-)
