THE BRITISH THREAD II

I've never had an email from anybody in my entire life.

What does it feel like Steve when these big corporations offer you the hand of friendship?

Nobody loves me like that.

You must be a very special person to have been offered such attractive terms.

Hello everyone! How are you all?
I'm back on the south coast for a few weeks.
It's pretty boring. I've just had a nice evening chewing bits of easter egg and then spitting them into a plastic bag so I don't get fat.

Izzie, I see you are from dartmoor. I have good memories Smile

You have been reading Holy Terror attentively as well anybody with artistic pretensions ought to do.

Get a dog. Call it Archie. Teach it to talk. You'll be on easy street.

Hey PQ

Nice to see you. Yep - I'm on Dartmoor - nice spot to live - moving house in a few weeks tho just off the moors. Enjoy your Easter Eggs girl! I've got one unopened - if it makes ya feel better - I'll eat chocolate too! :wink:

Isn't Dartmoor where Andrew Newton, an airline pilot, shot Rinka after luring Norman Scott to a desolate spot with certain promises and then bottling it and inspiring Auberon Waugh to pen that wonderful story called The Last Word about the trial of Jeremy Thorpe and which he personally signed my copy of after I had told him it was the funniest book I had ever read.

Two years for shooting a dog!! Brits don't like dog shootings.

Oh yeah! I was thinking that was what andy did when I was doing it actually. Although wasn't that with chocolate mousse?

Dartmoors lovely. I live in dorset.

Hey

Good for you PQ - Castle Drogo isn't too far from me - the moors are incredibly beautiful - so, nice place to live and spend time here.

Decided to go with Jaffa Cakes and tea. Hope you're eating the eggs now Smile

Oh - hope everyone has a good Thursday!

Harry Kewel has another injury and was left out of the OZ team that played china.
I would'nt expect him back with Liverpool.

Poor Harry. He's had a tough time. I saw him in a lengthy interview a while back when he returned to the squad and I felt sorry for him. He was great to watch when he was at Leeds.

Still- a lot of other people have worse things happen to them.

Spendy, give me your email address and I'll send you one. Free and yours to keep for ever. You havent got an email address? Thats why no one can deliver emails to you. Believe me there is a lot out there just itching to come your way.

(regarding the 2.5 mil I said I'd settle for 1.75 no questions asked provided they ****** off still awaiting response)

There's a Singing The Blues on You Tube and it's played on an art-deco record player.

Steve-

I'm hid out under a sand dune
In the attic at my friend's,
She says, "where ya bin ta get like this?"
I said, "following all the trends."

It was. Guy was incredibly popular in the UK during the austerity years of the early 1950s. He sang with a chuckle in his voice and his feel-good songs seemed to be just what the country needed in those grim times.

It may surprise you to know (not you, Smorgs, obviously) that there are 48 songs on the CD set and I know well over half of them.

Takes me right back to the good old days before the tranny, the telly, central heating and just about everything else.

The truth and Spendy are only very tenuously connected.

No I'm joking really. He never, I should perhaps rather say, lets the truth interfere with a good yarn. A gift for innacurate precis, to quote the fragrant one.

How could I forget. But I was on a borrowed number. The only things I know how to do on this infernal machine is what you see me do.

I would never have mentioned it myself but now you have I can tell these Brits that Queenie is beautiful. I did think of doing a Prof Higgins number on her but I thought I might get sucked into a whirling vortex from which even wings wouldn't free me.

Anyway--I'm a woman hater. Everybody knows that.

Quote:

Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed.
See how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams.
In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams.

I wiki'd him, he was born of immigrant Croation parentage. There's a Guy Mitchell appreciation club.

Suspendy, you are a right devious little bugger!

I'm...

Vaguley jealous???
