Hi Steve, Mr. Spendius and Mr.Mac - hope you have all had a nice day and will enjoy your evenings.

Listen Izzie- how I enjoy my evenings has flip all to do with what you hope. Suppose I was Jack the Ripper and I enjoyed biting the throats out of young innocent virgins in the dark alleyways who are taking some medicine to their dying mother.

She would still hope you enjoyed it just as long as she didn't have to know what it was you enjoyed.

I think we all feel a bit like that.

Night-night, sleep tight.

Dark alleyways don't take medicines to any bugger.

No. Must go, off to a meeting to support my mate the minister (with whom I am now on speaking terms again), fighting off eurosceptics and UKIPS who want a referendum on the Lisbon treaty. Might get quite heated with luck. More later.

Well Steve, if that's what you fancy I recommend you get your nose into Mr Holroyd's brilliant biog of George Bernard Shaw.

I'm pro-Europe myself. Warts and all.

In what way?

Harry's a bullet magnet according to the rest of his platoon.

Thats nothing compared with the image I have of Mr Spendius.

The MoD will be cock a hoop with the Harry story. They were severely embarrassed that Iraq was too dangerous for the boy soldier of royal blood. But now he's done his duty to Grandma* and country, and can soon be pulled out of harms way conveniently because the American media blew the whistle.

*I dont think she is his grandmother.

Don't you think he looks like Phil the Greek?

What else can the lad do?

He's in an impossible situation through no fault of his own.

Be a good laugh though if HMQ said "fewk this for a game of bananas" and took off.

Your republican sentiments are distorting your vision. You're just disgruntled and rather than blaming yourselves you are scapegoating.

Cripes!

It was a bit rough out there tonight.

I nearly got taken off my feet walking home from the pub after discussing the plastic bag fiasco.

I like plastic bags.

A nice hawthorne hedge in a January easterly near a landfill site makes a sound not all that far off Beethhoven's best chords.

Hi Izzie.

Telly's rubbish tonight, eh? I hate that Catherine Tate.

Now I've watched a bit of Catherine Tate, and I find her funny ("How very dare you!"). I take it you don't?

0 Replies

Some of her sketches/ characters work. I've not seen much of her show, but I find it patchy.

Perhaps "hate" was putting it too strong.

Hey Spendy a bit of my fence blew down last night in the gale and I was out after midnight in the lashing rain to save it and try to secure the rest.

When my apprentice gets up (human prop) I'm going out again to try to effect repairs. Wish me luck.

Hey Mac

Good luck with the fence mate. The weather was horrendous here last night too - yet, this morning, blue skies and fluffy white clouds - chilly tho.

Hope you manage to get it all sorted and that you and Mrs Mac have a nice weekend.

Cheers for now.

All done Izzie, thanks.

Hey speaking of repairs and DIY, did you see Grand Designs this week, about a place in Puglia?

Blimey O'Reilly. Fantastic effort- and result.

Never mind all that!

I've just settled in front of the PC with a brew, and a (well deserved) KitKat, after fighting my way round Morrisons, and as a prelude to the cleaning up...

THERE'S NO WAFER IN MY KITKAT!!!

IT'S JUST CHOCOLATE!!!

Now you know I'm not one for emoticons, but here's a Evil or Very Mad

How can this be?

Should I phone the customer service line on the packet, or should I send it back in a jiffy bag, in the hopes of getting a whole box of KitKats back?

Which I'll share, of course.

Does this mean I just bought a Kit, without the Kat?

May I have the privilege of seconding the motion?

That makes the frozen-ground-swell under it
And spills the upper boulders in the sun,
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast."
