Arrgghhh. Paddy McGuiness in The Factory. Bring back Gregg, all is forgiven.

Ah, reminds me of my pen anecdote.

At university my good mathematician friend Rob had an expensive ink pen which developed a fault so it took it into Smiths to get it repaired (a service they obviously offered 40 years ago).  The girl scribbled a handwritten note to confirm possession of the pen, the problem with the pen and a repair price. He…[Read more]

All I feel is immense shame as a human being.

Always good to hear from you @sweetp, however brief. Were you involved in the redecorating of the BP when it was re-launched? You did a good job. I particularly like the color (I’ll go US spelling here) scheme for the new indoor swimming pool but the pool room walls make my eyes go funny. There again it could just be those funny cakes that Tom…[Read more]

Dance floor @brianN? What sort of life do you imagine I lead?

Please don’t answer that.

I knew that @hunnybunny. Just trolling. Woman’s Hour seems to be on most mornings when I take Twiggy in the car for our daily route march, er…. walkies. Never been a Radio 2 man, I got to Radio 4 via 5 Live. Radio 2 sounds quite a lot like what Radio 1 sounded 50 years ago. So can you imagine what Radio 2 might sound like in another 50 years?…[Read more]

Only songs in Welsh from me now on.  Expect you caught these girls on Women’s Hour today @hunnybunny!

I went on AB Fandom to check out the Cheetos game. Apropos of nothing, some dude there is asking people to pray for their sick cat?  Is this a service provided by the Nest?

History will judge all these people to be the fools they are.

Unless the fools themselves write the history books.

Churchill had a point.

Elvis is the elephant in the room.

Sorry…

No protest from me. I think we are getting more Angry Birds Challenges and I like that. Runt hunting on yesterday’s at the moment.

Reminds me that Superb Owl time is almost upon us.

Yes, but I think they might have mentioned it at some point in the next 45 years. Maybe it was in the bathroom too. Although there was no toilet in the bathroom. That was in it’s own room. The past certainly is a foreign country.

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.
