It's something to eat we share in the same plate.
<ham, cheese etc>

I don't think I've ever been described that way before....but I kinda like it, it fits somehow.

While all this was going on, I was clearing up my brother's kitchen, in Enfield.
One parent was out with one daughter to ice skating and then swimming, the other parent went with the other daughter to her ballet lesson.
Leaving me to clean the kitchen.

When I arrived at the hotel, it was about time to left to the Penderel's Oak.

Easy enough to get there walking : Picadilly, Shaftesbury avenue and down Holborn High.

But when I arrived at this place, I saw that man Horatio looking mockingly at me. Then I took a taxi (I got a cab).

"Leaving me to clean the kitchen."

Never, in the field of human cornflakes, has so much been owed by so many to so few.

Know what you mean McT, life's a bummer sometimes.
