I’m very sorry to hear of your family’s loss @brian, in the manner that it happened. It might have been even more traumatic if he had also visited and ended up on your bathroom floor instead. I’m not saying there is a bright side here. One of my grandmothers died while visiting our house when I was a kid but my parents covered it up so well that I…[Read more]

Can’t have new upstarts on my parish.

Actually it’s good to see some fresh (young?) blood. The more blood the better in fact. Blood is better than tumbleweed as my old nan used to never say.

My runt did in fact nick Cody and Lay’s trophy @brianN. They’ve got another – I’m on the case. All hand-crafted in rustic surroundings.

Another runt. Ham ’em High 12-4. But I can’t upload my proof.  Anyone else had that sort of problem recently? I don’t feel I want to pester birdleader again, poor chap.

Just been on a rail journey between Flint and Stone.

Not doing birds but doing bird eh @brianN?

I’m on fire.

You need to tell us where you have been Brian. Money was on you being in the MiL’s dungeons. Or blown into the North Sea still clutching a ladder. Or just stuck in that BP cubicle with the dodgy lock that OB keeps saying he means to fix.

Good for you!

I’ve actually ordered a book/audio that claims it will teach me to speak Welsh. And another that claims I will become a pianist.

The two things I seem to have no inherent aptitude for are languages and music. This is not going to end well.

Brian? Normality?

Well you did ask!

Yeah, where is @brianN? Is he just lurking until we acknowledge we are missing him?

Thank you @hunnybunny.

Things to do don’t all have to be chores. Write some good ones and some that need doing. Put them in a hat and draw them at random. Well, it’s a thought anyway.

Thankyou @karen68.

For the record (and I feel I need to make this clear) I am going to learn Welsh, learn to play the piano and write a book as well as walk virtually from Mexico to Canada.

This is a higher bar than calling Luke Littler an athlete.

Thankyou @catsnbirds.

For the record (and feel I need to make this clear) Twiggy’s actual father is Karesu Born Achiever.

I was just wondering about New Year Resolutions and how many have been broken already. I wasn’t necessarily looking at you @hunnybunny.
