Check out this link: Exciting! (Well, it will be if the link works properly!)
That’s us. We’ve finally come out! Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the shit to hit the fan (if you’ll pardon the pun). Gordon has already spoken to the press, as you can [...]

Whilst browsing about this morning I came across this on the ‘Phrase Finder‘. It made me laugh and hopefully will do the same for you!
Here’s an example from Brendan Behan (the self-confessed “drinker with writing problems”) who, when asked to define the difference between prose and poetry, is reported as saying:
“There was [...]

Tuesday 25 August 2009
I finally got around to making chutney yesterday with one of my giant courgettes. According to the recipe I also needed apples and tomatoes or plums. My ‘orchard’ is currently groaning with fruit and surprisingly this year I have fruit on every tree. I don’t think I can remember when this last [...]
Oh No!

I’ve had an e-mail from the Halifax to say my online account’s been suspended. I will never again be able to access it and all my money will disappear forever into a virtual pit unless I ‘click here’ to re-activate it.
Phew! All I can say is it’s a good job I don’t [...]

Since I bought my new computer in January I have, on the whole, been quite satisfied with Vista and its over-protectiveness in a lazy, can’t-be-bothered-to-make-the-effort kind of way. I’ve reached the stage with my computer where I just want to turn it on and watch everything run smoothly. No longer am I [...]

Following on from the flies in the office and a discontented grumble to Gordon about how his rubbish at the end of the room was taking over, possibly concealing anything dead, he decided to ‘tidy-up’ yesterday. His things that have resided in the corners of the room since we moved in thirteen [...]

Reality is for those who lack imagination.
It says so on my keyring, so it must be true. Enough said, really.

Driving home from dropping Steph off at the bus-stop this morning I did a double-take as I turned into our small lane. There it was, sitting on top of a gate. In all its glory. A peacock! Yes, a fully-grown male with full tail and the whole shimmering feather thing. I didn’t [...]

Whilst doing a spot of online banking the other day I decided we no longer need paper statements since I keep the accounts as well as I’m able on the computer and check them regularly online. Considering the mere sight of numbers makes my brain stick its fingers in its ears and [...]

I was glancing out the window this afternoon and spotted the perfect photo opportunity. This crow is a regular visitor and quite happy to taunt the cats rather than fly away. It usually appears when I throw meat scraps on to the lawn and I’ve even seen it catch a cat by [...]
