Sorry but global warming is a fact and despite it being called warming could make it colder here in the UK which, thanks to the gulf stream, enjoys 10 degree or average higher temps than other countries at the same latitude.

No you blind eejits..there’s been a revolution whilst you were all enjoying Christmas and scrumming in the festive sales. I personally overthrew the lousy Englander Government..consigned Brown and buddies to a Gulag in Rotherham and declared anarchy in the u.k.

I love January..the icy-cold pristine freshness of the air; the starkness of the trees against a baby-blue sky; snowdrops in profusion and a chance to delve into my christmas books..oh and the days lengthening (although I enjoy the anonymity that being folded in night’s black cloak brings)and blue hyacinths in pots on the windowsill and the…[Read more]

Oh Toy…how I adore Thomas Hardy…and as I’ve gotten older..his poetry even more than his prose (and I fell in love with him when in my teens..at one point convinced I was the reincarnation of his first wife) There are few more beautiful pieces than my favourite The Darkling Thrush..but Bags Of Meat has made me cry today.

Such tragic news, Kenty, but it is only natural to feel relief that the tragedy is someone else’s and not your own. It’s small consolation, but the fact that these poor lads are from your brother’s troop, means that in all probability, statistically it’s unlikely to happen to his troop again.
I’m sure that along with your own prayers, all the…[Read more]

Once by the Pacific
by Robert Lee Frost

The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore…[Read more]

Now THAT made me laugh!

I’m sorry, but I’m not going to be able to make the phone in for the quiz later.
Hopefully there’s enough time to find a replacement.
Once again, my apologies.

Ditto..hope one of the blokes will have a go at the phone-in tonight in my stead. Good luck. x

Especially for Pete..
