    That's damned unlucky. Isn't it typical though, wasps turn up when you least expect them, but you can never find one when you want one.

    Claims to game:

    Roald Dahl used to sell kerosene in the High Street and Evelyn Waugh used to holiday here with his maiden aunties.

    I agree Pacharan, lovely day, and to boot I had a little adventure on my jog around the fields and footpaths.

    An elderly gentleman in a motorised wheelchair had decided to go "off road", and had got himself stuck in a shallow ditch. His elderly wife, who summoned me to help as I ran past, said he got the idea from TV. Top Gear I believe, they recently ran an item on just such a thing.

    He was a heavy old boy, and so was the wheelchair, so after much grunting and heaving we got him out of the wheelchair and, as she held him up, I manouvred and drove it onto safer ground. We then had to manouvre him to a spot where I could drive the wheelchair up behind him and scoop him in, which we accomplished successfully.

    The funny thing was he had a Golden Labrador with him which became very aroused by all the goings-on, which I though was very strange.

    Got a nice bottle of white from Sonoma (California) last summer... reserved for the first warm spring day we can sit and enjoy it outside.

    Indeed NKUK. Pacharan must have a very odd neighbour.

    Weather peeps said it was 10C today, but it felt warm and springlike in the glorious sunshine.

    There is a reason he has a reputation as a shower of tulip. Ignore him and he will go away somewhere else to enhance his sad pathetic life.

    started a topic A first for 2012

    A first for 2012

    Had lunch in the garden.

    I had a chicken and apricot pie and the Missus had a lardy cake.

    She also had to flop one of her baps out to feed little Barry.

    Judging from the way the curtains were trembling the old boy next door had a good eyeful too

Working...
