String
Posted on Thu, 11 Jul 2024
I'm really sorry to hear about your dental ordeal but pleased that you weren't so traumatised that you were unable to write your poem about it.
For future reference a bottle of rough whiskey, a piece of string and a door handle is a much...

The Swingin' Seventies
Posted on Thu, 11 Jul 2024
Dear Jenny.
I hope you find happy and rewarding times in your seventies. Save a place for me. I'll be in them soon, possibly accompanied by some travelling gypsies.
And whenever it was, I hope you had a lovely time on your birthday...

Pagan Orange
Posted on Wed, 10 Jul 2024
Thanks Paul. Yes I saw it. It brought outrage to the world and his pagan god. A very ill-mannered thing to do but it was only a bit of orange coloured cornflour and I'm sure the dear old henge has known far worse. The stunt gained a lot of...

Just Stop Many Things
Posted on Wed, 10 Jul 2024
I'd say that Just Stop Plastic and Bombs and Rockets Whilst Significantly Reducing the Number of Internal Combustion Engines would be a better name for a pressure group. We need oil for our chip pans and massage parlours.

Blood on the Tracks
Posted on Tue, 09 Jul 2024
Bob Dylan has highs and a few lows for me but Blood on the Tracks is the ultimate high and on which Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts really stands out. It's one of those got-to-listen-twice songs.
Long time ago when...

Embarrassing
Posted on Fri, 05 Jul 2024
Priyatelkata is half Algerian. She will haggle over the number of corn flakes in her breakfast bowl.
In market situations I feel half proud and half embarrassed. When I try to haggle she just laughs.

I'm very sorry to hear about your dyslexia... I wasn't poking fun.
I'm pleased to hear you've wandered a bit. They're all nice countries that you've visited, even if they don't have Maltesers.
But don't stop now. The world's your...

The other forty
Posted on Mon, 08 Jul 2024
Four times fifteen percent is only sixty percent. I hope the other forty wasn't the best bit.
