Of course! Are you mad?
First class old chap, a marvellous creation.

On reflection, it should be left as it is. Putting all that bacon and stuff on would spoil the whole issue, especially with the custard.

It's what John has with Battert's 'House Gin'; he says it makes it fairly palatable.

Looks good with the light behind the glass, too.

We've had to avoid using the 'b' word as far as possible since the horse sculpture business.

I got a filthy look from the Chief Constable in the B&L yesterday. Don't know why, I didn't ask them to park in the dispersal area.

It was only a bloody Focus anyhow grumpy

Thanks, Jim, but should you really be using the present Earl's code name in a public forum? His Lordship is a stickler for that sort of thing.

Odd that, though: 'Earl 80.' He's the Seventh Earl, I believe. Must be a reason for it.

Battert says it's okay, the present Earl is unlikely to return from Monaco and we can have the run of the place.

Might it be best to hear that from the horse's mouth, do you think? The Earl I mean, not the horse.

I appear to have got over my night of over indulgence, a two hour power nap helped, just finished off the leftover roast pork and Mrs Bobbers turned the leftover veg into a veg/cheese tray bake thing, twas very pleasant!!
The only trouble with talking to horses is you don't always get the answer you want, when we go to the races I always go to the parade ring and ask at least 2 or 3 for tips and none of them have given me any!!!! frown

I was behind a classic mini earlier,it was still 2 years newer than my comedy Fiat

Why does auto correct change years to Yeats ?

Who is Yeats ?

Apart from the former Detective inspector of Trivton- on-the-Green

Yeats? Apart from the DI chap, there was a poet called Yeats. I know Keats was a poet too, I'm not getting mixed up with the names. There was definitely two of them, Yeats and Keats.

Why your phone should autocorrect to Yeats is a strange one though. You haven't by chance switched it to Poetry mode have you?

Bruges? That's a worry, the bugger didn't autocorrect Estuary to EU did it?

Anyhow, I'm glad you reminded me about ex DI Yeats - he borrowed a battery charger from me some years back.

I don't think there's much point in me visiting him in the 'Scrubs to discuss it, I'll find out when he's due for parole.

I wonder if he's got any of the money stashed away? If I'd known at the time what he was up to I'd have told him to buy his own bloody charger grumpy

Four Weddings and a Funeral introduced me - and others presumably - to Yeats.

Funeral Blues

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
