@Izzie,

Too right Izzie, and a jolly spiffing one to you too.

Should we extend this to those unfortunates further afield? Yes let's.

Happy New Year to everybody.

@the prince,
Many of us don't think otherwise but we are more PC (politely cheerful)..

@McTag,
Did you see Tyrone make that crisp butty Mac? It was his dinner and his young wife was moidering him about something or other. Getting on in the world and he's saying he's as happy as a sandbag and who wouldn't be getting tucked up with that Molly every night.

It was quite witty I thought. A classy comment on the state of things. There'll be a repeat. And acted to perfection.

Nigel Havers was in tonight. Playing a gigolo. For Audrey. He was perfect.

It's a sort of Creature Comforts with more imagination.

Oh--Season's greeting to everyone.

@spendius,

No, you've lost me there Spendy. Was that Corrie?

Her indoors watched Gavin & Stacey, and I sulked in my chair.

@spendius,

Ah Spendy, you don't know the half of it.

And even your fevered brain couldn't imagine.

@McTag,
Well Mac--how about entertaining us with a selection from the drollest parts. I am given to understand that it is those that make long-lasting and tolerably happy marriages. Real comedy is about nothing else. And it isn't satire because the aim of satire is to force a change by mockery, a foppish affectation, and that comedy does not seek to change anything because the subject has been given up as intractable and incomprehensible.

All the sudden and exciting effulgencies of joy and romantic, rhapsodic resplendencies are like firewoiks. Just because you hear of one every day doesn't mean they have much to do with real life. When Audrey looked at herself in the mirror while she was waiting for the gigolo to arrive gave a glimpse of real life. As did Havers through the frosted decorated glass in the front door after he had rung the bell. Acting gems. She got the panics and pleaded a migraine and Havers said it was normal for first night nerves, knowingly.

Tell us about when you knocked a nail in a water pipe when you were fixing the floorboards to remove the unsightly ridge in the bedroom carpet. They could use that in Corrie. It would be a neat way of starting another chain of events which will lead we know not where by some route to be decided upon at the next conference which is tomorrow at the same time and in the meantime don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Like elsewhere in Europe, it's quite snowy here (15 cm at my place).

One of the few left VC10 (Air Force) being "de-snowed" at our local airport

@Izzie,

Yes, I wonder how he is.
Might be a bit slippery to walk down to the pub.

The snow sucks. Why couldn't it have been nicely interspersed through my childhood rather than coming in abundance when i'm too old to care.
