As those of my readers from the UK know today was Wet, Cold, Miserable, Cold and generally horrible. So today we discovered that my father – Lord Moor Common – had a blocked drain from his kitchen!
A very understated activity called Drain Clearance was then embarked on by Major Dickie, ably assisted by [...]

I’m being wooed and lured! 1st by Nissan and their Qashqai – which was lovely to drive but has a few irritating features – namely the back seats don’t fold flat. And now Ford have leapt into the fray and are attempting to seduce me into a Kuga! It’s all getting quite [...]

On to the Victoria went our own dear Lynn
In search of the Togs and maybe some sin
She found the Engineer’s garments – and donned a disguise
And the sight of his pistons – brought tears to her eyes!

It’s time to put me down
I’ve started watching Hole in the Wall! And I – almost – find it amusing!
Bring on the Death Squad!

Trying to buy a new car these days is a nightmare.
Why does every car I look at offer 7 seats? I don’t want 7 seats! 5 is more than enough.
And why when I walk into a salesroom does the patronising salesman look me up and down (all 5’ 2” of me) and [...]

What did we miss?
Whilst the country has been consumed with waltzes, foxtrots and tangos – Not to mention the plight of Sparrows!
What Bad News has the Government released and conveniently buried whilst we’ve had our eyes – and ears diverted?
It’s VERY, VERY worrying!

So Brucey wants you to be parachuted in to Strictly after the departure of You Know Who!
Well – I for one don’t think your knees are up to it – and those lifts could be the undoing of you.
In My Humble Opinion I think Boggy would be the answer.
A quick [...]

On Eurovision tactical voting is known
This leaves the UK with no points of its own
They vote for their friends – and never the tune!
But from such tactics we are not so immune!
So P’raps we shouldn’t look so askance -
For Here – too many are voting [...]

The viewers of Strictly have not had enough
Of seeing John Sergeant strut his stuff!
Certainly we know he can’t really dance
But we’re all keen to give him – just one more chance.
To get a high score is NOT so essential
For in dear John we can see – potential
And the viewers [...]
