Sport in general Mac is the only place you can go that avoids wall to wall assertions and if you don't take a break from wall to wall assertions it is easy to believe there is no other way of thinking.
Elections are as good but once every five years is not much of an antidote and even they are not entirely free of the bacillus. But at least the result cuts through the crap.
Mornin' everyone!
It's mild out - and not raining.
I'm going for an eye test today...
Glasses are very expensive!

yes, Walter
I was so shocked at spendy's posts, that my glass eye fell out and roll down the street, under the wheels of an articulated lorry...
I know have a conker in it's place - well, it's seasonal!

You naighty boy, Walter!
Would you just let the others know what prompted that reply...

Morning, smorgs!
I'm up to the airport shortly - Mrs. Walter escapes European weather to stay in the mild climate of an exotitc contry for some time, called England or similar :wink:
Oooh, you bugger!
You deleted the post alluding to my glass eye!

That's why I deleted my previous response - and if I'm naughty, Mrs Walter won't go :wink:
Quick off the mark there, Walter...
Wouldn't let me edit 'naighty'

I've got a very bizarre song in my head today:
I'm Henery the eighth I am
Henery the eight I am I am
I got married to the widown next door
she's been married seven times before
and every one was an Henery
Never had a Willy or a Stan
I'm her eighth old man called Henery
Henery the eight I am, I am
Henery the eight I am
Anyone remember that?
...how bizarre!

natures bounty - eh?
It's not as strange a thing as it may seem...
I was replying to Walter - who then had (very cheekily) deleted the original.
Makes me look a nutter!
(more of a nutter than usual)

Don'cha just HATE it when that happens?
Nopes. Is that you in the pic smorgs ??

Very funny scenes. Quite worrying for feminists and bleeding-heart bedside manners I thought but none the worse for that.
I've noticed a slight change in emphasis recently on TV and in the pub.
From today's Evening Standard:
Have fun .... and a clear sky :wink:
It does have some advantages then does living in London.
They can see dust particles in the sky.
Burning up too.
That must be wonderful. An antidote to a police siren going off every 2 minutes for ever and ever at an accelerating pace.
Has nobody noticed the difference in the frequency of police sirens when the cricket is at Lord's or The Oval and when it is at Old Trafford or Headingley or Trent Bridge.
It is quite striking.
I hear one about once a year but this is backswood gump country.
Your insights are always interesting, Spendy, if idiosyncratic.
Frequency of emergency vehicles' sirens heard on broadcasts from major sporting events. Hmmmm....
Maybe its because theres a major police station near Lords and the Oval. conversly maybe there is no police/fire/ambulance station near Old Trafford or Headingley or Trent Bridge.
