I knew someone whose mind went blank and passed a sociology exam by making up research findings and crediting them to the owner of a removal firm whose name was painted large on a van he could see from the exam room. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this technique though Dominik. As already suggested, today is probably a day for relaxing and charging your batteries.

I hope not, but that is just me being selfish.

I've kept quiet up to now but........ .......isn't Martin O'Neil wonderful?

Thankfully everyone was driving very carefully and sensibly. The only problem was a taxi that had slewed but even that was toward the kerb very slowly.

You know that freezing rain that we don't get here...... ....... well i think we've just had some. We had a little flurry of snow a couple of hours ago and it stopped. I thought we had escaped then just before I was due to go out to pick Mrs. S. up it started a mixture of hail and rain. It just froze where it fell. De-icer wouldn't touch the windscreen, it had to be scraped off everything. Braking and turning was challenging but at leat I'm back, no damage done. I'm staying in front of the fire.

Ah. Bacon butties, coffee and the papers. Perfect.

Morning. -5 here today and yesterday but not a bit of frost anywhere to be seen. It's not often we get air with so little moisture in it. I wish they would make their minds up as to if, where, when and how much snow to expect. I've never heard such confused, conflicting forecasts. Good to hear that they think your neck problem is solvable Dominik.

I've never had a mac. Big, magic, air, book, plastic or otherwise.

I'm sure there are a million suitable replies here but my mind has gone blank.

My hobby used to be watching Neil Warnock when things were going against him. Great fun. But now my new hobby is watching Mancini getting beat. It doesn't happen too often but oh boy it's entertaining when it does. What a bad sport he is.

You've been on that cheap whisky again, haven't you?

I think that it is now a matter of interpretation. It 'looks like' hands down by the sides - unintentional, hands away from the body or raised - intentional. Thats only the impression I get from the indications the refs are giving now. Trouble is even that seems to applied inconsistently at times.

5 hours? It's only 10 minutes and 0-0

Got the joke. It was the Adobe structure bit I had to research. I recognised the type of building material/styles but didn't know it even had a name. Another gap in my knowledge filled.

Essex? Isn't that somewhere near the South pole?

I'd fancy my chances with her anytime. It would be an uplifting experience. As to the match - Ive got to think we will win...... ........but it's a derby, it's the cup .........

Good morning all. Depressed by England's performance in the test but then lifted by Newcastle's result in the F.A. Cup. I feel so lucky that it is only such trivial things that I have to worry about. Have a good day and take care of yourselves.

Or external?

According to the packaging, the sausages I am having for breakfast were 'outdoor bred' I must admit to never having seen sausages either in the wild or on farms.

Now you are just being sill-y

You were leaded astray.

Are you sure you weren't framed?

Morning all 'having once shut a window without moving my head out of the way' I bet that was a pane, Tony.

No - but gin or vodka can be clear. Ditto the best of luck bit.

G'night Gran'ma
