I can't stand kedgeree!

There's something about the combination of rice and fish and the smell of it... no, me no likee.



No accounting for tastes, is there?

I had the remains of my McTageree for lunch , and it was even more delicious than before. And more smelly.

Hey have you taken a paper tissue out of a box recently? You got not just one, but two, didn't you? And you only wanted one.
They have started folding them so it's almost impossible to get just one tissue. They are designed to come out in twos.
Who said they could do that?
This is a diabolical liberty, and the kind of thing up with which I am most reluctant to put.
Tissues are made out of trees! Rise up, people, and save our planet!
Demand the immediate restitution of your birthright, mono-tissue dispensers!

Maybe it's so you'll use more tissues = buy more tissues.

I find that one tissue is never enough though, maybe I have a big hooter?

Don't suppose you got sats Guardian did you Muckty?

The magazine had a recipe for Pear Cake, I wanted to make it...

I've put it in the recycle, I would get it out, but there be earwigs in there, and I'm scared of them.

Much appreciated. (With some extra almonds, if you don't mind.)

Mornin' all!

Couldn't get on last night - I was forced to watch telly.

Morning, your Smorgatiousness.

A bit parky this morning, isn't it?

When can I come round for a slice of that pear cake?

Thought you were on a diet, Muckty?

Got some curry in the freezer for you as well.

I'll see you on Wednesday though - you can pick up your tea and afters then.

Just trying to fix my garage door, in a cackhanded and stupid fashion, nearly killed myself.

But I'm still here, with all of my fingers too.

But the door mechanism's goosed.

Glad to hear you didn't hurt yourself, McTag. Dem garage doors can be bloody heavy. I once fixed in a remote door and managed to blow a fuse on the first time of trying it out. I now pass that stuff onto a qualified sparky, as it's just too embarrassing, standing there in a cloud of smoke and trying to explain to the customer what went wrong.
I've just got back from six hours of insulating a loft space, and am shortly going to dunk myself in a bath, because I got the stuff all over me somehow, and have various personal itchings in places you don't want to know about.

Very Happy Very Happy

Owing to the yawning age gap that you pointed out the other day, this Paul Anka song is the only one I could think of as a response:-

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please coooook for me, Smorgana.


What?? No response on this one? I thought I was going to get my head bitten off.

OK, I'll have to respond for you, smorgs.

I know in your heart of hearts that you really wanted to take a deep breath, puff out your chest and sing this to me:

I-I-I don't wanchooo
To be no slave

I-I-I don't wanchooo
To work all day

I don't wanchooo
To be trooooo

I - just - want - to make - chips - for - you....

Chips - for -you...


Go on, admit it. That's what you'd have chosen, right?

I like that.
No doubt Smorgs (who has to work for the man) will respond later.
They played that song last time I was in our supermarket and I got a few odd looks whistling and singing along.

Okay now I've got to go and take that worthless junk which I broke, off the door.
Having difficulty finding a supplier of spares at the mo, but someone's going to ring me back.

The bath's running and the loofer's been located, so I'm now going to play lighthouses for a while by lying on my back in deep water.

I'm then fitting up three TV aerials this after, and going to Wickes to buy several gallons of various paints. The idea is that about six of us will decorate, tile, landscape and turf three houses by next Tuesday, when the carpets are due to arrive. I reckon it's too many cooks, but it should be a laugh. Just think DIY SOS, but with uglier workmen.

Byeee

I'd never bite the head off anything!

How little you know me.

In the olden days, I would have offered to scrub your back, but I don't want to come accross like an old slapper - which I am.

D'you want bread and butter to make a chip butty?
