Things like “one of the Boris boys”!

Amusing conversation with canvassing Conservative councillor last week. Hard working local person, respected in the village, blah blah. I explained that the Party logo brought shame on him, and that the local MP is the worst kind of filth.

And he agreed! He’s asked the MP not to canvas with him.

I’m wondering if a new Swiss watch industry is going to appear in Pennsylvania.

How was poor Nigel supposed to know?

Rothenburg if the pigeon?

Yes. Someone should make a film about this highly charged political planning drama.

#wankmalwieder. I’m going to translate that as “Let’s wank again” and no one can stop me.

We actually went there during our summer holiday. We rode the Wankbahn and saw the Wankhaus.

It’s rather lovely.

These Christmas Lights in #Marlborough remind me of something

Love it so much.

The Big Belly Oak

I see your baobab. A mere sapling. I raise you: the Big Belly Oak. It’s more than 1000 years old and I drive past it most days.

Badly peeled orange

Important question. What do we call an orange which is the opposite of an “easy peeler”? This one is delicious but it was almost impossible to get into.

It must have been difficult cutting it down from the book - there’s an awful lot plot lines in there. Interested though - which bits didn’t you like?

book or film?

Correct.

Ours used had this thing: pressure switch would get stuck on so the pump ran continuously. Until it went into thermal lockout after some tens of of minutes. At this point, if you “used” the toilet and then flushed, the water level would rise. And the pump wouldn’t run. Turds on the floor.

I could go on

Yeah we had a Saniflo. It failed catastrophically a couple of times and I had to … dismantle … it.

I remember weeping actual tears of rage as I delved into its evil, cloacal bowels.

(Not caused by operator error but rather because hard water caused the pressure switch membrane to become crusty)
