SPENDS!

Must confess, I've only just read the last bit of your post.

Made me too shy to post now.

But thank you, it's the nicest thing you've ever said to me...

(you bastard)

Just come in from the boozer in Gatley where we discussed Wayne Rooney, S G Ericsson and Richard Dawkins among other topics but it was a bit boring because there were no lovely ladies there to inspire us.

I find male flesh abhorrent.


Strangely, I couldn't agree more.


I thought ladies admired footballers for their firm and exposed thighs?

Or maybe nowadays it's for their wallets.

I am not familiar with such concepts but if you could possibly flesh it out a bit I might give it my earnest consideration. I'm ever eager for new ideas and quite quick on the uptake.

They are in your bonce, spendice.

You would have to Wiki P it.

I was just trying to say that knowing about coil pots doesn't make you a potter.

As for admiring footballers wallets, I 'signed' a professional footballer who played for a minor club and he wasn't on that much, about the same as me, and my wages are rubbish (for the work I do) but we do have good conditions and queeniepoohs birthday off!

and Maundy Thursday
and a days 'shopping' at Xmas
and 'privilege' days

But then I am abused and threatened regularly, and I take it all just like a woman, but sometimes, especially when children are involved, I get a coffee, go out the back, light a fag, and cry just like a little girl.

Must go and put my 'face' on, another day, another £2.50.

TTFN.

These are probably the people who throw money in wishing wells, even if the "well" is only a plastic pool in a shopping mall where the've gone to do a bit of loitering, petty theft or worse.

Don't you think it's sounds great?

The Nodes of Ranvier

Like the name of a vast formation on a distant planet.

Something else I like the sound of; was driving home,and heard a man being interviewed about Elvis on the radio, he described him as having 'a whim of steele'. I like that, shall tax it.

And thank God, women have put their clothes back on and started to make 'real' music again.

Any opinions on the Peterloo furore?

I think we should have a bigger blue plaque which tells it like it was, a brutal attack by cavalry on citizens demonstrating for their rights.

Did anyone see the "Atom" series on TV? I had it recorded while I was away, and have just seen it. Hard to grasp, quantum mechanics and subsequent atomic theories. Mind-boggling somehow doesn't cover it.

No, must have split when that was on.

I did watch Rick Stein though...

I'd love to go to Italy.

I would throw my last 50p in, especially if I had my granddaughter with me...

She still lives in that magical world, where the firing of a synapse turns a plastic pool, shimmering lapis blue, lined with nacre and edged with pink scallop shells, inviting wishes.

I just looked up Wishing Wells in the Yellow Pages but there weren't any.

What a dump this is.

Yeah well. Very poetic, and who in their right mind would deny an opportunity of magic or fantasy to a child? Its just a weird old custom, that's all. But things change. The Easter Bunny was the March hare. George Bush was the uniter, not the divider. Manchester City used to lose football matches.

I'd give anything not to be in the Jobcentre today.

And it's raining!

My only consolation is that people regularly fail my appointments when the weather is inclement.

Where's Steve, still on holiday?

I went up to the clinic this morning to get my dressings changed. I'll live.
Hey would anyone like to see a picture of me in shorts?
