Okay, thanks anyway, bread and gruel it is again then.

Adasmartdog.......LOL.

A quick one from the top of my head:

Moroccan Style Meatballs with Cous Cous.

Lamb mince with parsley, corriander, cumin, paprika, chilli powder, fresh chillis and a little bit of mint.

Can't really remember the cous cous side of it, just bang some lemon in it and don't have it raw.

Sodding office won't leave me alone !

"Can yo do a Coulsdon delivery when you get back ?"

Now it's.

"What time you going to get to Mr x ?"

Putting drivers under pressure leads to accidents.

I've just popped into the shop to book a haircut for later on today. My usual girl was behind the counter this morning doing all the computery booking in, with a newbie colleague by her side. Although she does know my first name, she apologetically asked for my surname to access my details and I gave her some mock disappointment at not being remembered, to which she replied:
"I'm sorry, but I see so many men"

Time stood still for a while before much raucous laughter erupted from all three of us along with the two girls already snipping away at their respective mirrors. I wonder what my chances are of escaping there without an Ali-esq shaved head this afternoon.

Mohecan or Mohawk ftw......

[RobinBanks]

Do you ever look at a car and think "I'm sure they used to be bigger?"
I just saw a 1970s Jaguar XJ6 and it looked tiny.

If that's all it takes to be on her list of men she sees - then bring on the scissors!

I have endless trouble communicating my surname.

"Can I take your surname?"
"Cutler."
"Butler?"
"Cutler."
"Cutter?"
"Cutler."
"Culter?"
"Cutttttt-ler."
"Gutter?"
"Cutler. As in "knife and fork."

And, sure enough, there I was, written down: Mr Cutlery.

I say it and spell it now.


My dad told me about a foreman at Vickers when he was an apprentice who added a Y to men's surnames to make a nickname; Smithy, Jonesy and so on. He didn't do it to my dad.

Fut.

Is that like the dried up fish bits that pet parrots like to gnaw?


Anyway, earlier I booked a table for two at a place a short distance from here for tomorrow night. The chappy gave a choice of a few tables and once happy with my selection, I gave my surname for him to write in the book. "Oh, are you related to Julia?"
Through gritted teeth, I confirmed she's my older sister.

[McAndy]

Lurking.

[DickyC]

Mc Lurking? Or just lurking?
