We had a new black Lambo Aventador LP700 outside this morning. It's a bit 'LOOK AT ME' with it's orange brake calipers.

[Impasse]

Morning,

I can't help but think of Wales without thinking of under milk wood.

I can't help but think of Wales without thinking of fat size 18 girls squeezed into size 10 clothes scoffing chips.

Here's your arsenic, dear.
And your weedkiller biscuit.
I've throttled your parakeet.
I've spat in the vases.
I've put cheese in the mouseholes.
Here's your... [Door creaks open
...nice tea, dear.

Question;

Do you think it's acceptable to ask a neighbour to borrow an onion, to save me going out in this heat to the shops, in order to make a Chili ?

[DickyC]

If there was a biscuit here, I'd eat it.

That's the mood I'm in.

So, yes, I'd ask next door's for an onion for a chilli.

Go round, say I said so, and tell them to be glad they're not a Custard Cream.

Just as well it wasn't an Amazon. You'd have been in trouble then.

He was the cleverest of wordsmiths. There are so many wonderful lines in that play, but my favourite of all the the lines of Rosie Probert and Captain Cat. They are achingly beautiful lines.

Have you read his short stories? A Visit To Grandpa's is my favourite.

Short? It's an essay really.

Does it do the customary slightly shakey delivery with sighing and head shaking?

I've never hit anything that was alive (other than a tree )

[Chunkymonkey71]

It's warm in Stornoway and I've run out of surveys.

Oh well, Uig beach it is then...

[drivin_me_nuts]

Uig beach with an egg sandwich and a bottle of bru. What more could a man want *

* well probably quite a lot actually, but on an island in the middle of the back end of beyond, one has to be content with just the smallest of pleasures.

I hit a giant seagull on Brighton seafront once. It smashed into the corner of my Fiesta's windscreen, sending a crack from top to bottom. I stopped in time for it to get up, look at me most indignantly and fly off in disgust.

Last night a big Thrush type of Bird flew straight against eldest daughter dear's bedroom window and then dropped two floors to the ground below. I went out and gently picked it up whilst is looked up at me with a sad face and shat on my hands. I then put it carefully down on the grass and stayed with it to make sure no evil sts cats got to it. It recovered after about 10 minutes and flew off.

To counter that act of kindness somewhat, when I went into the warehouse this morning there was a red admiral butterfly caught in a spider's web and flapping around like a loon trying to get free. I carefully helped it out and put it on the worktop. On seeing that it had already torn one of its own wings off trying to get free, I thought it won't survive anyway, so I put it back in the web.
