Well it was the name, Black Tulip, that made me suggest it. Peach Blossom, Morning Flower, sounds like something out of

Cherry Blossom is different, more Polish.

At the risk of being blown out of the water by S., I would like to know if anyone else heard the April Foolery on Today today? It concerned birds.
No, I didn't. I was a bit sleepy this morning, too long abed, and missed the earlier programmes. Then when I eventually turned my radio on, it wasn't working properly. I was so dozy I forgot to listen for the spoofs.
Don't be so sensitive to Spendy's slings and arrows, if I may say that. Just slag him off from time to time. I think he probably enjoys that.

Will we recognise it when it starts? Give us a sign, O sour one.

It's OK. I give as good as I get. He has a sneery way with him though.
Flying penguins were on the TV I think, on Today they said there were too many finches in Britain and they should be in Scandinavia for the summer, so the RSPB were giving people cages to trap them in so they could be sent to Denmark. The Foolery side of things was underlined by their saying they would be sent through Terminal 5.

She means witty really. They call it sneery to defuse it a bit. Wit and sneering are connected. Then there's irony.

Don't you hate it when a car goes past you playing music dead loud?
And it's always dead crap music too.
How can these drivers be aware of anything outside their vehicle? They must be anaesthetised by decibels. Dangerous and stupid people.
I would send any car to the crusher which behaved like that, no second chances. They could maybe put little microphones at traffic lights, triggering a camera, (they could call it a din-cam) which would record the car numberplate, then they could visit the keeper, (preferably early next morning, so they would have to wake him up), tow the car and crush it.
That would teach them not to be so dangerous and stupid. And also not to advertise their crap taste in music.
Anyone else watching Curb Your Enthusiasm? I like it.
It is best, taking everything into account, the upsides and possible downsides I mean, to curb one's enthusiasm.
Not always of course but most of the time.

Doesn't the tradition say that 12.00 mid-day is the cut-off point on April 1st and anything after that it is the fooler who is the fool.
Not that I have anything against fools mind you. Salt of the earth are fools.
What time of day was this announcement made?
The tradition was designed to discourage ladies in the the late afternoon and early evenings from taking their knickers down and having another pair on underneath.
Such manifestations of female wit were deemed amusing before noon.
yer a hoot, Spendi... :wink:

Yawn...
Been frantic for a few days and it's finally calmed down again.
Now I'm bored. Back in work tomorrow (after the dentist).
What y'all doing?
What you up to spends? Apart from pottering in your shed, daydreaming about past conquests, books and knickers... and betting on the ponies.

I am 2/3 rds of the way through the 2000 pages of Michael Holroyd's brilliant biography of George Bernard Shaw, often reading chapters twice.
On my LAZBOY recliner in my lean-to with the see through walls.
I'm going to give the Grand National field the look over soon. It's one of my favourite races.
I never potter. I get down to it.
Good Evening UK, Europe and ROW:)
Hope all is going well with everyone. Tulip - nice to see you here girlie - tea soon OK?

George Bernard Shaw is one of my hero's as well as being a vegetarian (like me). So the book is worth a read? I will look out for it. George was such a clever man and a brilliant playwright, I used to read The Applecart when I was a teenager.
