Wot, No Big Bruvver?
Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:21:23 +0100
With the announcement of the axing of Channel 4's Big Brother next year,
what on earth will be left for the comprehensively uneducated chavs of
Little Britain to watch whilst they fill in their benefit forms (suitably
amended for the next chavette they've just created during the daily exercise
on the sofa), sm ...

Dearth of a Milk Salesman.
Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:33:00 +0100
Our milkman used to run an outmoded uncool system for selling milk. My
dear wife, whose name escapes me for the moment, used to leave notes out
for him saying what she wanted in the way of milk, yogurts, single
cream, double cream and treble cream etc. Once a week he'd add-up the
bill, tell her how much, and ...

Arterial hypertension leads to eccentricity
Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:54:00 +0100
It's a strange course that my life has taken over the last year or so.
I'm finding myself doing things that I wouldn't have even thought of
doing a couple of years ago. I'm even enjoying the hot weather that
I'd have hated as recently as last summer. In the past, I'd always
have gone north for my holidays. I'm n ...

Where Have all the Giant Hogweeds Gone?
Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:38:55 +0100
Some years ago I had a giant hogweed that flourished in a humid
hollow in my backyard. I loved that plant/weed. I fed it and
watered it, and watched it grow to a monstrous size -- a bloated
and menacing crimson. But, like John Benyon's fictitious triffid,
it can cause blindness. It became a danger to grandchildr ...

Chiddingfold
Wed, 19 Aug 2009 22:52:09 +0100
Thought I might mention a comment from a friend of ours of pensionable
age. She has lived in Chiddingfold for several years. In some ways still
isn't fully reconciled to being there - don't ask the circumstances, but
it isn't her ideal - but she thinks now that it is a very good place in
which to grow old ...

Great Place for a Wedding!
Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:18:27 +0100
Yesterday (Saturday) I went to a wedding in the Queen's Stand at Epsom
racecourse. It was opened by Brenda a few years ago. What a fabulous
venue it is! One could almost smell the money that went into that place.
Judging by the sumptuous luxury in the function rooms my guess is that
the Jockey Club got their ...

Dragons' Den

Might be worth watching on Wednesday evening to see
if Jayson does get the neccesary investment into his high impact
packaging material.

Tossers and Tensa Barriers
Tue, 11 Aug 2009 08:17:38 +0100
More evidence that the Monty Python sketch we're condemned to live in is
tightening its grip on our sanity. I watched in some disbelief yesterday
a TV news report about how Oldham is tackling the problem of drunken
behaviour.
Bars are to be fitted with Tensa Barriers so that revelers have to form
orderly ...
