Well, he turned up. Did the windows. Said he wasn’t insured to go up a ladder. You’re made of sterner stuff north of the border @brianN.

My window cleaner says he’s coming today.

Good luck with that mate. Twiggy’s ears were horizontal on our morning scamper round the block.

The high speed reverse Remi second shot was almost my best – a pig failed to pop and I was left with close to about 127k. Think I’ll give up. Not really sure what to do now. Managed to sneak back ahead of asher on Birdday Party and Bad Piggies, now just need to lie low and hope he doesn’t notice. Perhaps seek out some gliches, still a few to find.

Almost up to 1000 comments in the refurbished BP. It will be almost exactly 6 months.

Compare that to 160363 comments in the old premises. If we carry on at the rate we are doing we will sail past that figure in a mere 80 years.

But if we hurry up a bit, we could get there by the end of the century. @hunnybunny will be on her thirty-third new…[Read more]

Reached 84k first bird but still no luck. But spring seems to have arrived today in these parts of the western fringes and I have been pruning my rosebush.

It’s all go.

Well you will enjoy Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen being mauled by Ben Wishaw dressed as a bear in Episode 5 then @brianN.

I just got a message when I tried to post twice in a row “Slow down, you move too fast.” I’ve never seen that before. Bl***y cheek!

Forgot the spoiler.

Yes, I watched Black Doves about a month ago. It has legs, i.e. it deserves another series. Knightly and Wishaw are both very good. Need to suspend belief a bit but hey, it’s escapism and I didn’t feel guilty a bit.

Nor did I feel guilty about Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen being savaged by Bear in the Bear Hunt.

Watching Celebrity Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls on Netflix. Celebs don’t hunt bears, they themselves are hunted by Bear. What a load of wusses. Trying to hide from Bear for just 60 minutes in Costa Rican jungle is universally “the most difficult thing, mentally and physically, they have ever done in their life”.

Really? I mean really? And Bear is…[Read more]

The RL match is a complete reversal of  high scoring football matches being said to be running up a rugby score (or even cricket!!!). Did the commentators say that Wigan and Leigh were running up a football score?  And did they say that extra time was looming.

In fact I have never (repeat never) heard a football commentary referring to an i…[Read more]

The wonder of YouTube. I heard this song just once about 45 years ago, never managed to ever hear it again or work out who they were, but here it is, popping up out of the ether, If you like the Undertones, you will like this.

Re: my previous comment about the final destination.

Forget wet farts. How could thousands of years of human advancement end up with such wilfully obscene ignorance? It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

A rare sighting of the raspberry ellipsis there.

Seen in Pedants’ Corner in Mumsnet (don’t ask).

“If you blow a raspberry…how would you spell it? Please help it is bugging me and a group of friends”

Context is everything, I guess. It’s the friends that worry me most.

There were 35 replies.

Apparently, and this is the consensus of three contestants on House of Games, Spain borders Italy.

All good clean fun.

Drinks are available plus assorted nibbles. Managed to overhaul asher in Birdday Party at last, the final Classics assisted episode where I hadn’t managed it. Now I need to sort out Bad Piggies where, somewhat implausibly, we are locked in a 5519790 to 5519790 dead heat for first place.
