Hands held up high, seems a bit off topic for the unaware poster, LB and I have a loosely coupled cuisine connection...sorry

I like your style LB!

'Tis the season to be growing your own herbs now! I got a bumper pack of Sutton seeds - cheaper than the MAP stuff you get from supermarkets

About the only thing they can do at the moment is choose where the insurance company are going to put them up while the loss adjusters get to work. I would suggest a nice villa in Portugal would suffice. Probably be cheaper for the insurers as well.

This guy is a star!

Just out of interest, check out the 'don't miss' section down the right hand side of that webpage.

Who says culture has been dumbed down?

Unfortunately , women set a lot of store in 'being there for them', so logic and common sense have no place here.
I also predict a divorce or possibly some golf clubs with a head-shaped dint in them.

Isn't that a head with a golfclub shaped dint in it?

Marvellous attitude the guy shows though...

Hi there,

not bad thanks. We have almost reached an agreement of partial work from home so that I can commute from the italian part 2-3 days a week. Mrs likes CH. If you are a hypochondriac the hospital system here welcomes you with open arms. It almost had become part of the daily shopping routine for her. Check this jacket, that skirt and actually let me stop over to the doctor and see what they think of this... at all at quite reasonable prices with the insurance systems. In London they would have beaten you up with a stestoscope unless they believed that your life was so in danger that you had to call a doctor.

Sounds like everybody's happy then! I'm pleased to hear it. No hankerings for the good life in SW19? So would she be actually pleased if they found something wrong with her? My mate's mother was like that. Pestering the doctor every week for years with imagined complaints and then was delighted when they told her she had (treatable) cancer.

Exactly.

His wife is with her sons. The house is and probably will remain sealed off.

Why ruin a holiday just to sit around wondering what you are going to do.

I mean is there anything that you can really do?

Yeh! but he did nothing, with style

Hello, Franco, my friend. Still larging it up en Suisse? How is Mrs Franco adjusting to the move?

With access to a nice golf course?

That would be pure coincidence of course, but a nice bonus nonetheless.

[Sockpuppet]

Well, there's not much he can do after all. You can phone the insurance company just as well from a Portuguese golf course as you can from a B&B around the corner from the smoldering remains of your house.

Threaded could have gone back in time and build his own emergency landing lane before this would have happened.

Ah, but if I did that then there would have been a reduction in the research funding to find how to prevent faults in complex systems, and man would never have reached the stars/invented time travel.
