CLP

Thanks again for the mensh this morning. Made my day, you lovely chap!

Can't beat a good bed, even betterererer when there's someone beside you making it all the more worthwhile!

And really ...... would you want a copy of Tone's tome?

Muchos Amore

Deevs

and talking of hotels, I've been looking at that lovely one in Bath that overlooks the Royal Crescent. Not cheap by any means, but one day .... oh yes, one day ......

x

Oh CLP I sooooo agree about the bed and shower - as I have been in plaster and my bionic boot for what is now the start of week 9, the ONE main thing I am looking forward to most is a shower! Even my piddly little not so power shower will feel so damn good I know!

Enjoy your baking, give that Paul my number wontcha!!!

toodles - off to put my pie in the oven - having a Warrington lunch in onour of our lovely MC - holl@nds meat pie with mushy peas followed by choccy - cos I'm worth it!

oops forgot to mention the bed - comfiest ever bed in the world ever was a very expensive brand that the M@yf@ir hotel in Mayfair subscribe to

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssss

(first purchase when I win the lottery - oh yes siree!)

Blimey!

I pop out to negociate the wheelie bin stand off that's occuring here and there you are!

Honestly, 5 bungalows, 5 green bins, 5 "anything else" bins - how complicated can it be?

Answer - VERY!

Deevs, will go back and listen, think you must have sneaked in while I was planning how to get 2 boys in 3 different places at the same time tonight!

Debs, nasty man!

Hazel and AS and Andy and Maddy and all lovely bloggers - Hi!!

Seza xx

PS must listen to the show more carefully. In my convoluted route to get to this blog at work I saw that Chris is going to do the show from Archbishop Sentamu's house!! Is this right or am I imagining things? How much would you love to be there for that! The joy in that room will be
a-maz-ing!!

PPS Love Jacob's Gems but would really like to hear the first one he suggested for Chris again - something about smile in the morning? I always do!

PPPS (I promise I'll shut up soon) Sheryl Crowe's Tracks of my Years just on t'radio - Georgia and Try a Little Tenderness - have me in a little puddle on the floor!!

This is bagpuss - reporting in from under the sword of damascus - or should that be an axe?

Still employed today but its getting worse and my boss is not picking up my calls.

Should I just leave? I hate the feeling of unrest here and not knowing about my future - if I leave at least I'm back in control of my life?

Baggy

Baggy, only you can know what to do, It is pants if your boss is not picking up - trust me I know, I have not heard from my boss since July 22nd - I have sent him emails and voice messages - infact I sent one today with an update and put a read receipt on it - he has read it - but not even a "hi, good to hear from you" back - how RUDE!

Chin up chuck, let us know how you are

debs
x

Baggy, a job is only a job when all said and done. So sorry you are having a bad time. There is more to life than continual stress and unease and you are too young to feel so weighed down with the stress you seem to be under. All I can say is, in your heart you know what is the right thing to do, follow that instinct.... Take care of yourself, and just do what is the right thing for you.... Don't make yourself ill over a job - remember to your employers you are a number which is easily replaceable - to your family you are lovely Baggy who is irreplaceable..
I'll be thinking of you, let me know if I can help in any way.
Love Daisy x

Baggy & Debs (((xx))) for both of you

Baggy, don't know what to suggest, I'm sure that you have analysed your situation with your bean counter mind so really, you know how your different options will affect you. I can just say, will be thinking of you.

Debs, Nasty Man! You are collecting them at the moment aren't you? First the Doc, then the Boss, Let me know if I can help at all, your boss not far away if you want me to collect anything for you

Am currently trying to decide whether to keep the doors and windows open and freeze or close them and expire from the paint fumes.

Seza xx

Sorry Debs I missed your missive - sorry your boss is being "funny" with you too. The hospital malarkey sounded awful too. You poor thing.. Hope you get more luck on Friday. Hope your boss gets in touch too.
Love Daisy x

PS Seza - Freeze definitely!

It must be the time of year. I really like my job but one person in the office is making it hell for me at the mo, and it's not my boss - she's a gem.

And as t'other half put on here yesterday, he too hates his job.

Chin up Baggles. Keep an ear to the ground and an eye on the job boards and things will improve soon.

btw - wasn't it Swod Of Damocles? That's what I always sing when I go to Rocky Horror .....

Loving you all, truly madly deeply

Deevs

deev - your probably right - that sounds better - and I was quoting RHPS - although Mr bp actually knows the story behind that saying!

Hello one and all

Deevs - I heard your mention this morning - well done you! xx

Hazel - it was oatso nice to see you on t'blog again - miss you xxxx

The sun's shining here in East Kent and I'm just orft for some lunch with a few of the gels in the orifice ... catch you later

Hello Again CLP & Everyone.

CLP-I can't believe that you don't have the most expensive beds & showers in your abode. But then sometimes the most expensive are not the best. I find it hard to get out of my comfy bed every morning and, as you say, even more so now the mornings are getting darker.

Many thanks to all who asked about my hospital appointment. I'm happy to say that I'm doing very well, blood pressure normal, oxygen a bit low but nothing to worry about and cO2 OK. Apparently I'm a star patient taking my oxygen & medication regularly as a lot of people don't which I don't understand.

My advice to all those under pressure at work is to not let anyone make you ill, just earn what you have to and don't worry. Life is too short to spend it worrying.

Right, off to the shops>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

MM x

DDD Yup you're right, have nipped into loo - also newly painted walls - and obviously shut the door - nearly expired!!

Anyone got JV on? Is it a slow news week or something? After half an hour on budgies I'm feeling very bird-brained!!

Seza xx

It's just a jump to the left................

Chris,

Tony Blair's book has to be worth a read, signed or otherwise.
Baggy - I know how you feel. I almost got up and walked out yesterday. Getting my boss to to do things the right way is like trying to nail jelly to the wall. And wasn't it the road to Damascus and nothing to do with his sword?
Matt, you can't be 40 - you don't look a day over 39! Happy Birthday!
Nic

Baggy, it's all Greek to me love!!







I am suddenly very overwhelmed with a feeling of being totally and utterly fed up.

Oh well.

Deevs
x

At least the budgies discussion must have saved our licence fee - it was very cheap!!

Seza xx

Seza

I think that's definitely a 'I'll get my coat' for that one.

Baggy - I know it's very difficult but you may need to consider whether its better to jump now rather than be pushed. Unfortunately only you can make that choice, but you know we are thinking of you.

Nic - could be either a Damascus road or a Sword of Damocles moment for Baggy I suppose, but I think the scales have fallen from her eyes but the sword is still dangling overhead, unfortunately.

A

Hi everyone. I have to say, Debs, you seem to be getting through your weeks of house arrest with amazing cheerfulness. I guess you must have your moments but hats off to you for keeping sane. Won't be long until you're running around again.

Baggy, Nic and Deevs - I'm sorry that work is so awful for you guys. Try to stay positive and don't let them get you down. I find that muttering an expletive really quietly to these people makes me feel better, as does flicking them two fingers when their backs are turned. Childish, unprofessional and unbecoming of a woman of my age, yes, but it doesn't half make me feel better.

Lots of love,

Barmy xx

PS Happy birthday Matt!

PPS ANNE WIDDICOMBE TO WIN!!!

So the question appears to be, do you take Tony Blair's book to bed or into the shower?

Deevs - I missed your mention - when was that I'll listen again?

Then again I started at about 20 to 9 and caught up to the song before the news.

Obamarama I think there are others who have more chance of winning - I take it you are talking SCD - therefore I think Jimi Mistry (or is it I at the end) might be pretty good

No chance Hannah - Widdicombe will elbow the competition RIGHT out of the way! x

Coat - got - Gone!!!!

Seza xxx

btw - Felicity Kendall of course!

Unc, personally for me it would be the shredder!

Obama - that made me smile. Sadly, the atmosphere in my office is so thick you could hear a pin drop so a mutterance or three might not be such a good idea. At the moment I am resisting the urge to prod him with a fork from the communal kitchen!

Hannah - twas about 7.20ish.

Now on reception, counting down to 5pm.

Deevs
x

CLP - I have a lovely bed which is hard to get out of, but then Mr GBB has to be at work an hour and half before me so the last couple of hours I can sprawl myself accross it. When I do get up I find going straight to the shower is the best idea as I love my shower, which is strange as I didnt before and had always thought I was a boiling hot bath girl, but my allegiance has turned to the refreshingly hot shower.

Deevs, Nic and Baggy, have been in that position at work and have nothing but empathy for you all, it is like being in ground hog day, nothing more depressing then knowing you have another day of it but you must do what is right for you. Hopefully you will be lucky like me and find your best job in the world they do exist I promise you.

Oh by the way Chris why did you move your car for Tone, surely it should be the other way round.

Looking forward to SCD cant wait to see Anne Widdicombe give the panel a bit of her mind when they diss her.

well thats it - I have said that I think I've finished - far too much was done last minute again, it will all be my fault - shall we run a book on how many days I have left? I go for 1 week!

On the plus side, I called every agency that i ahve sent my CV to and actually sopke to two, have an agency meeting lined up next week and have been advised on how to make my CV better - all good avdice and at least people will remmeber me.

On the dark side - nearly broke down in the office - it was one thing too many, but that is very unprofessional of me and I wish I had been able to hold it together

Baggy

Baggles, honeybunch

I too was on the verge of a screaming ab dab moment about an hour ago. I could feel the burning sensation at the back of my nose, rising towards my eyes. Deep breaths, walk away.

Then I had a couple of texts from my lovely, caring, considerate, sexy and also very stressed at work man and felt a whole lot bettererer.

Then my boss came out to reception and had a chat with me. Can't share its contents but its made me feel a bit brighter about my future here.

And then ..... I jsut had a call from an agency about a PA role I have applied for.

How quickly our worlds can change. But the 9-5 stuff is a means to an end. It's the partners, friends and family that really matter.

Deevs
x

Yikes. Just read that back. Profound and almost Clodagh-esque in its wiseness!

I'm growing up ......!

This is a picture of the Earth and our moon taken three months ago from somewhere near Mercury. Wonder what I was doing three months ago. Whatever it was, it can't have been as important as I thought it was.



Barmy (your unofficial NASA correspondent). xx

Afternoon Each,

I am sorry that so many of you are having a tough time at work xx I've said it before do you work to live or live to work, life really is too short but I hope by the time I come back things are a lot more positive for you all. Big Hugs {{{}}}

Debs, Sorry you saw such a numpty yesterday but as Barmy said you really are quite cheerful about it all xxx Now have another choccy.

I'm making the most of my bed tonight as I am not sure what I'll be sleeping on for the next four weeks and I was told yesterday that water isn't in great supply so I can only have a bath once a week!! Don't worry I will wash every day :) I think when I'm back I am going to appreciate these things a lot more than I do now.

So the packing is about to start, I've got all my piles ready but I am so rubbish at packing and have so much to squeeze in. Any tips about packing would be much appreciated.

This time tomorrow I shall be at Heathrow remembering to breathe! Thank you for the cards, texts and comments on here and FB, you really are a wonderful bunch of people and I will try and blog if I can. I've creatd an email list which some of you are on so when you get the email perhaps you can spread the word.

I'll be back on for some reassurance I'm sure. Had lunch with my bestest friend today and she started blubbing what's it going to be like saying goodbye to the parentals tomorrow. Still I'm only going for a month and I'll be back before you know it.

AliB
xx

P.S. Happy Birthday Matt

Ali - have a great time - I am so jealous - do you want to swap?????

Ali

Roll things up when packing. You'll get more in, and I'm sure the crumpled look won't be too much of a problem given your task ahead.

Thinking of you.

Stay safe.

Deevs
x

Ali B,

Where you going?

Afternoon each

I love my bed and my shower, although bed wasn't quite so comforting last night after I found the most enormous spider on the bedroom floor. I kept looking for its friends.

And what a cheek Chris, having to move your car for Tony Blair. First come, first served I'd say.

xxxxx

DIdn't CLP have to move his car for Rips once?!?!?

;-)

x

Baggy - Er NO but thanks for the offer xx

Deevs - Thanks good tip xx

Themanfromuncle - Zimbabwe for four weeks to work in an orphanage xx

AliB

#38

Fair play to you Ali. That should be rewarding, and as you say, no comfort zone. And there's me going to Malaysia and Australia for fun, well, partly fun. Good luck with that. Put a smile on the faces of the children I'm sure.

Unc - give my regards to Colin!

AliB, just wanted to say publicly

GOOD LUCK DEAR BUDDY!!!!

You'll be back in time before you know it!

I agree with Deevs, roll up clothes and stuff as much as you can inside other things like shoes. You'd be amazed how many pairs of knickers you can get in a trainer! Failing that wear as much as you dare tomorrow!

bon voyage and we look forward to hearing about all your adventures.

debs
x

Will do Diva, will do.

Just caught up

Ali - have an absolutely fab time - lucky little'uns having you to take care of them. My packing tip is shove it all in and sit on the case to zip it up.
Bags, Deevs & Debs; Remember you work to live, not live to work. You need to earn the pennies to pay the bills but no-one should have the power to bully and make you feel bad. I always found closing the office door, leaning against it and swearing lots of foul words helped.
xxxxxx

Oh I think we have have bullies in all forms of work and life.
The best thing is to rise above it all as they usually get to go to Jail and not pass go eventually.
My admiration goes to Sarah Kennedy, a show so many enjoyed and yet still she had some critics that thought they knew more than a broadcaster of 34 years.

Still not sure if this Lady Gaga Tupperware outfit suits me. But it's plastic and I'm pretty fantastic anyway.

evening all, hope you're well?

Fully agree bigman, never change sheets mid-week, far too dificult to get up in the mornings. Can't believe you don't have a top notch bed and shower though!!! Sort it CLP, they're part of life's essentials, along with always having 2 tv's, one of which needs to be in the bedroom, 2 loo's, I recall you have this already thouugh, yours being the one with the DFYT pic on the wall and of course a good coffee machine - shimples (squeak)

Went back to work yesterday, man that alarm was loud in the morning, straight back in the groove, had a rview today and was told I'm doing A-ok, been for a 6k run this evening, had ribs for dinner, now going to watch the news then will pop to the local tonight fora cheeky half, or two, with mates.

Did anyone see Derren Brown's show last night? if that was 100% true - WOW! what a show

bonnet de douche

KWx

Oh how rude of me -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT, one of the coolest guys

Bonne anniversaire

KWx

Yeh what ever happened to Matt the Hat.....

Well now Howya yous lot; and Happy Birthday Matt!!

You know, Christoff, as much as I love some of the hotel beds I get to fall into, not to mention the marvellous Riot Squad showers wit the big fat shower heads an' magic buttons that blast yous on all sides an' nearly flay you alive, there's nowt like returning to me own bed. Which, spookily, last night, lost one of its little brass nobbles.. after clingin' on for dear life for 110 years. Fancy that. That bed's seen some action. No, not THAT sorta action (although I can't speak for the first 90 years of its life), but the sort that comes wit 5 house moves, one roof collapse an' various kids, dogs an' rugger-buggers steamin' therein. An' then only last night it lost its nobble. Go figure.

Any road up. Am back to me lovely duck-down duvet (aptly named when you've got Renee hoverin' over yous at 6am wit a hot cuppa) an' me feather pillows, finally woke this morning with the sun streaming through the window, to a text from the GD proclaiming, "4 sleeps to go..woo-hooooooo", and all is well with my world. Indeed we do have only 4 sleeps to go, and suddenly the sadness of the last couple of weeks is lifting with the excitement of our trip. It was hard leaving Dublin this time after Damian's demise as it felt sort of final, as if I was finally leaving him behind. But this is life. It's one of life's ironies that if you're lucky enough to lead a full and long life, you will pay the price by bidding farewell to some precious others as you go. And we owe it to ourselves and to them to carry their memory and aspirations forward.

And so. The said (DD)GBF will be carried forward alright. To atop the Empire State Building, where he always said he wanted to abseil down, bless 'im. Well there you go, my friend. Only without the rope...

Life goes on. And I intend to follow Our Glorious Leader's lead and grab it wit both hands. And a big fat shower head.

Clodagh.xx

Hallo Clodagh - only 4 more sleeps?? Have a great time with the gorgeous daughter.

Sounds like Damien had a bagful of friends who will keep his memory forever - just like my darling brother. Am in awe of the people he touched in his life.

Can't comment on your dropped knob - would get modded!!

xxxxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT

MM x

Christophe - when I was younger I was told:

Always always spend the most money you can possibly afford on your bed and your shoes - because if you're not in one, you're in the other,



:^)

Are we human, or are we 40?

Just popped in to thank you for your birthday wishes. I made it over the threshold and am now a fully paid up member of the 40+ Club.

I do still read what goes on here from time to time, heck, I spent long enough here that I feel like part of the furniture. Not a swish, cream leather sofa mind, more a threadbare armchair with bits of the stuffing hanging out. Think Frasier's dad's.

Anyway, keep rockin' and rollin'. And don't feed the trolls.

Much peace + huge love

MfR

PS Greed's been crowned the new king.

Hope you're having a great day Matt. And you're still part of the furniture on here - a nice comfy armchair.

Don't make greed the new king. Have just been looking at the news that SK is leaving R2 and, although I don't really have an opinion on her, I wonder if she'll be joining the dole queue? As someone with friends who are unemployed and desperate to get a job it would be nice if she changed her tune!!

xxxxx

Clodagh - I really don't know what to say to that except what a way to go!

Ali, am so excited for you. Have an amazing time and I can't wait to see you when you get back.

Seza xx

Matt yous are like the Sunday best china. Only come out now and again, can be slightly fragile and yet never disappoint, an' best enjoyed wit a nice cuppa an' a sticky bun.

Me, I'm like one a them funky aul radiators. Bit noisy, needs a coat a paint, dodgy thermostat, an' don't sit on me if you don't want a sore bum. Oh. An' don't leave me wit your chocolate buttons.

Clodagh.xx

Any road up. Hows about this. Have been to the hairdresser's today for a spot a follicular torture an' a spot a prunin', and have asked him to dye my hair grey. Because Grey is the New Blonde and because I want to embrace my Old Biddydom in style. And after a few seconds, during which I thought somebody was inflatin' 'is eyeballs, he refused.

REFUSED. Now THERE's a first. I've had me hair blue, pink, frizzed, bouffed, plaited, spiked, permed, bobbed like Olive off On The Buses an' short an' black wit a plait down the back; but never have I had a hairdresser say NO. In fact not only did 'e say no, 'e welted me round the ear wit 'is brush an' booked me an appointment in 2030.

I can cancel it if I change me mind though.

Clodagh.xx

Ah bless Clodagh, am thinking of going grey too - save a shedload of money at the hairdressers.

Like you, have been all colours of the rainbow - including green by accident when best friend practiced on me.

xxxxx

Clodagh, I hereby invite you to grow old disgracefully with me!

Just back from me swim. Managed 60 lengths and feel fab for it, with silky skin thanks to a stint in the sauna and steam room.

Have put 'stenders on for the first time in I Don't Know How Long and am now about to turn it off again - how much shouting and wailing can there be in one "show"?!?!

WW Carbonara coming up .... accompanied by a bit of Human League from the pod methinks!

Deevs
x

Annie, yous have that hair that looks gorgeous silver so go for it!!

As for yous, Deev, grow old together? I wish. I've a 14-year head start on YOU; stood together we're like Granny Clampett an' Ellie-May, my dear..

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh, I have a good hairdresser!!

Deevs, haven't seen Eastenders for yonks - came downstairs from running bath and all hell had broken loose on the telly.

xxxx

Evening All,

Well the packing is 90% done, just the last minute things to squash in. I haven't weighed it yet so I hope I haven't gone over my limit. I am looking forward to my last night in my double bed and am enjoying all the mod cons, a hot shower, hair wash etc! I shall spend tomorrow morning in the bath ;)

On the 15th January I shared with you all about wanting to make a change in my life and on the 5th May I blogged that I was off to Zimbabwe for four weeks to work in an AIDS Orphanage - well tomorrow I fly out.

I can't thank you all enough for your love and support, you have all been amazing and I know that our Beez is toasting me tonight with pink fizz. It is going to be a life changing experience and I can't wait to embrace all that Zimbabwe has to offer me.

Right I'm off to watch Private Practice with a nice cup of tea, then it's an early night.

Lots of love to you all
AliB
xxx

P.S. Clodagh, have a great time in NY NY xx

Good luck Ali. I'm sure there'll be lots of heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. Look forward to hearing all about it when you get back. Look after yourself.

xxxxx

Good luck Ali, and I hope it is all you hope it will be!!

Hi Clodagh, I'm around if you want to meet over the weekend!

Am OK, will be having some me time...although he has a cold and is now threatening not to go away, just when I wanted him to....

Anyhow, I'll just get on with my plans anyway!

JG x

Ali, that's fantastic, what a valuable and courageous thing to do. As they say in Ireland, may the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back...

Take good care my friend, you take us all with you.

Clodagh.xx

Loved hearing about Transylvania this morning. Anyone interested in visiting should have a look at The White Cross Mission - a charity who look after young people rescued from Ceaucescu's orphanages in the 1980s. They have a guesthouse (Casa Delureni) which provides sheltered employment for some of these young people. Really wonderful place

Hallo JG. Is it this weekend your OH is off to NY? If his cold is better?

What's your plans?

I'm sat sitting looking at the humungous spider in the hoover thingy on the kitchen floor. Can't let him out cos I'll scream and scream but I'm worried about what I'll do if I find another spider in the house - won't be able to hoover it up without the humungous one getting away. Oh dear, oh dear.
xxxxx

Evening All,

Chris I love my bed and my shower but not at the same time haha

Ali - Good luck with your venture. I will be thinking about you, the children will love you. Take care and stay safe xx

Happy Birthday Matt xx

Hi Clodagh - have a fab time with your GD in NY xx

Take care all.
Mary xx

JG, you get on with your plans, sweetheart, and give Mister Snotty a big kiss goodbye on 'is travels. It's just a touch a Man Flu, that's what that is. Tell 'im enjoy 'is beef or chicken an' we'll toast 'im wit a latte an' a sticky bun in Starbuck's.

Clodagh.xx

Annie, no, he's off to his brother in Middlesbrough this weekend, he's away to NY on 7th October until the following Tuesday I think!

I can hear sneezing from upstairs so, methinks, probably man-flu already...!

I hope he does go, as I really need a break, there's only so much tip-toeing around one person can do!!

JG x

Hahahaha Annie bless you!!

Ah, let 'im out, hun. If there's one thing worse than a fat, hairy arachnid, it's a very, very cross fat, hairy arachnid. Wit some fat, hairy mates waitin' to give yous a good goosin'.

Free The Glasgow One. Or Eight, as the occasion demands...

C.xx

Have fun

Hope you're fit and well.

C.xx

Evening CLP et al!

A comfy bed and a good shower are A MUST!! My bed, though not expensive, is sooo comfy, my mattress was a bit of a bargain but I love it. And now my boiler is fixed I really appreciated being able to have a proper shower this morning, after having to improvise and boil the kettle and wash my hair in the kitchen sink.

keeping this brief as I'm only just home from work. More overtime, but as Deevs says it's a means to an end, and overtime in August/early September means trips away in September and October!

Hope all is well in Blogland, Happy Birthday Matt

Rx

Evening!

Any one seen our Fairy Friend around tonight?

I've just seen some strange lights in the sky and I need to consult an expert!

Bids, I've got un petit vin red too! Jazzercise twice in one week! I need something!

Kate, the charity guest house sounds interesting and a good way to improve some lives. Could they put up all the bloggers? That would be a meet and a half!

Seza xx

PS, Ali, I've got butterflies for you! How daft is that!

Clodagh, will text you on Saturday, will need to know where said coffee shop is, and what to order...I am a philistine, black coffee, no sugar, and a bit of cold water in the top!! LOL

And I really need my bed now! These 5 day weeks are really taking their toll, but I need to get used to it...himself is losing almost half his salary at the moment, but have done some research, and feel happier tonight!!

JG x

Oh, and Bids, yes I wish you lived nearer, and there is a lovely country park, well two, near here, and if the weather is OK, I'll take Finlay!

I don't suppose Clodagh fancies a tromp around Pennington? ;)

JG x

D'you know what, JG. The last time I fancied a tramp round Pennington Flash I 'ad the devil of a job gettin' shut of 'im. Flippin' persistent, them tramps.

Any road up, I'm under orders to be in Liverpool at lunchtime so I've faceclothed you if you fancy an early Tall Americano wit a drop a gold-top.

An' that reminds me of my lovely and completely mad friend Edna, who, while strollin' round Longshaw Common, perchanced upon a flasher. As she passed, deep in thought, said chap proudly and enthusiastically threw open 'is mac.

Edna looked at 'im disdainfully and said, "No thanks, sweetheart, I roll me own."

Bless.

Clodagh.xx

Oh Clodagh.It's good to have you back

Damian was a very lucky man!

xx

Seza, he may have contested that when on 'is way to a sound thrashing..

C.xxx

Sorry Clodagh I think you try very hard at your humour but it's very old hat... Terry Wogan Janet and John Stuff. Terry ia a gem but he is yesterdays news, as is the humour. If you ever write a book your audience will be over 65. they can't afford to buy books anyway and tend to use the local mobile library.

Any road up. Am off to the scratcher, perchance to dream of tramps on Pennington Flash and fervently hopin' no more nobbles drop off it whilst am lyin' on me back catchin' flies an' snorin'.

Night yous lot. May the bedbugs of life never bite yous on the bottom.
