The joy of blocked drains!

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 [...]

Cars – Damn it!

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 [...]

The Togs Voyage – a few lines for Lynn

Broadcast
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!

Hole in the Wall – help!!!

Broadcast
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!

I still haven’t found a new car!

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 [...]

I’m Worried – have we missed a bad news day?

Broadcast
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!

Terry to take over from John Sergeant!!!

Broadcast
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 [...]

Strictly and Eurovision – it’s all the same!!

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 [...]

Children In Need – a few lines

Broadcast – well the 1st 6 lines – Wednesday 12 Nov
Hey Ho! – Wow! and Yes – Indeed
It’s the start of the week for Children in Need
But before you begin let’s hear what’s on offer
To help fill up the Children In Need’s Coffer!
And Dear Paul Viney is back in our midst
So bidding for prizes will be [...]

Strictly – ditty

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 [...]
