Gosh!

Visitors!

I'll put kettle on then.

And get the Custard Creams out.

spends, you go a fetch more coal for the fire.

Muckty, go and get the spare chair out of the back bedroom.

Sit down, take a load off your slingbacks.

I don't mind arachnids.

Well we have to be tolerant. But is it reciprocated? That's what I'd like to know. Some of these 'nids are really dangerous.

Thanks smorgs! A proper British cup of tea would be lovely. (I'll pass on the custard creams; apparently I have had too much chocolate and it has made me cranky.)

It means crank, but with a y.

So when you eat a lot of chocolate it makes you want to crank things, like engines and stuff that needs cranking...

I assume.

It's like when you're cranking a starting handle and the engine goes PHUT PHut phut phu phphph and then silence. Spitting on your hands sometimes works but not when they are really cranky.

now this is what I appreciate from a2k

the world wide sources of knowledge

from manchester about cranking things

from Germany about a really remarkable offer on custard creams or was it karamel wafers

and from outerspace...problems getting the intergalactic hyperdrive wound up.

I've fallen out of love with Nigella.

I can't stand any more of that stuff.

An amalgam of Billy Bunter and Pippa Bluestocking with a liberal dash of coy-chuzpah-flirty-girliness and lip gloss. And a pudding which was instant coronary.

I think there is still hope for you and Nigella. Just stay clear of the puddings.

How deep do you wish to go into the matter Steve?

I saw, during my afterbath TV visit (10 mins) a whole load of blokes clapping the winners of a ladies hairdo competition. Or that's what it looked like. Nothing objective mind you like winning a gold medal or stylish hanging out the washing.

Ads are geared to a likely audience and the first one was for Shreddies with the reminder about the sugar on the dummy. Some old dears were shown making us all like little babies. I turned over to watch the sad news when the choc-chocs were shown coming off the production line like well patted turds.
