      Still in other news my prize from the cookery competition finally turned up and was installed this morning.

      Only took 6 months to sort it out, but my wine fridge is installed and now needs more wine, as I may have drunk some of the stuff I bought last year while waiting for it to turn up.

        It is remarkable how racist the rest of Europe is in ways that Britain just isn't anymore. Although granted everyone knows English so unless it's in Wales we don't have a blatant escape route

          Re: Dogs

          Afternoon all

          More excitement on the residents email.

          Could I please ask the lady with the two jack Russell looking dogs , who were outside my house at 7.40am this morning, not to stop and let the dogs walk and urinate over my knew planted shrubs and borders while she stands there letting them, very ignorant, I did bang on the window but she chose to ignore me!

          and in reply

          Surely dogs urinating on borders is not an issue? As long as their mess is cleared up is this really a problem? I can't help thinking that this lady is being a tad precious....

            In Wales, public sector jobs go to those who can speak Welsh. I am not sure if they can officially do that. But it is what happens.

                Here in Coventry I'm not convinced the locals speak English. It's some debased dialect with all sorts of weird vowel substitutions.

                      I thought urine was good for plants. An excellent source of Nitrate?

                      I remember when I was 9 a bull escaped and had to be shot. The farmer on whose land it was shot on objected to the blood on her land. The other farmer pointed out she should be grateful.
