      I listen to the Today prog on R4.

      Or at least I do until it annoys me so much I switch the fecking thing off.

      This happens quite frequently, in particular when the blonde buffoon is on or the obnoxious Gove rears his ugly physog.

      Most of the time I'm shouting "feck off you lying Tory bastard" at the wireless which is an exercise in futility but better than reaching for the nearest AK.

      How inconsiderate of them.

      Do they do that on the same days as the association football lot or is it specially arranged so that doesn't happen?

      Our favourite fixture is the Neath/Llanelli fixture which is (or used to be) on the same Saturday in September as the Fair.

      These days Neath RFC is so reduced in circumstance that it no longer matters much.

      Tea this evening is chili con carne (big pan of currently cooking on the stove) with rice and one of those nice little Xmas puds from Morrisons to follow, with custard.

      All to be rounded off with 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea.

        Lunch earlier was a nice bowl of Scotch broth, with a crust of wholemeal and a slice of sesame bloomer

        They seem to make some effort to keep them on separate days, though they do happen on the same day occasionally. As the rugby and soccer places are only about half-a-mile apart, either side of one of the main roads into the city centre, each on its own tends to put great strain on the already limited parking available in their vicinity, not to mention clogging up the one-way system. When they’re both on the same day, I try to avoid going anywhere near that area at all

                    To the Chinese for tea, which was very nice as always

                    They had been busy with deliveries, but…

                    No, but there’s a road near here that always floods when it rains heavily, after which some idiots will ignore the warning signs, drive in, and get stuck. Tonight, it was the delivery driver’s turn to be that idiot

                    So she’d had to cancel the orders he was on his way to deliver, and was short a driver, which restricts the amount of further orders for delivery that she can accept
