Currently on hold to EE. Why do communificati0on co's have hild mudic that sounds as if it was recorded under water 20 years ago, onto a tape that has been played a million times and stretched like knicker elastic? Is it a ploy - make the music so abominable that you ring off in disgust?

The road closed until the 17th was open at 14.30. Why did yhey think it had to be closed for 3 days?
Life's too short. I mught never get back.
Good grief, a Scottish ferry that is actually working.
Until the 17th! The Road Closed notice also says the businesses are open as usual. Does this apply to the Coashopper bus route that passes through Stiffkey?
One would hope so, but I have my doubts.
The A149 along thr coast in Norfolk is closed for about 800 yards through Stiffkey. The advertised divession on Causeway One Network is 44 miles and would take about 1hr 20 minutes to complete. Is this a record?
One Amaryllis bulb, two stems, nine flowers. Possibly a little over the top?

I like the "consistently" - presumable meant constantly?
Isn’t it amazing how quickly the price of oil went up. I wonder what has happened to all that oil that is in transit in tankers, in storage prior to being refined, and in storage after it has been refined?
For dinner last night I roasted a free range chicken and served it with roast potatoes, carrots and broad beans (all home grown) and hispi cabbage and a mushroom/ shallot gravy, followed by a home grown apple crumble. Tonight it's a chicken leek and mushroom pie with a green veg of some sort.
The trouble is that he probably thinks that this rubbish is true - perhaps he read it inside a Christmes cracker?
Bloody Private Eye. Terrible news judgement.
Much better. I'm being good and doing the physio 3 times a day. Mostly it doesn't hurt, but standing upright and bending the knees is a right bugger. Another 3 weeks before I can start thinking about driving.
Having been confined to the house for the last 3 weeks recuperating from knee replacement surgery, I am in complete agreement with the cats. We have had only 2 days when it has been dry enough to venture outside for walk.
That's one way to up your fibre intake

Whilst looking for something else (which I did not find) in the kitchen cupboards I did find a jar of French Moutarde verte a L'estragon. On close inspection I found the best before date — 27 Jan 2009. Having managed without it for 16 years, I don't think that I'll be opening it.
Did it?
Entrance to a Bank on the island of Burano, Venice. Once you are over the step ther is a ramp to get to the door.
Disabled access, Italian style.
I tried growing it from seed with terrible reults, very few plants at all. Now they have self seeded all over the garden, growing in the gravel path, in the cracks between paving stones, everywhere. I love it.
I had to agree with the woman standing next to me who opined that there should be no Christmes tat displayed before December 1.
More lika a bloody gallop.
Whilst collecting my newspaper this morning from our local Spar convemnience store I was confronted at the entance by a display of Advent Calendar chocolates. It's not yet Autumn, for God's sake.
Brave!
