Dipping Into The Water Butt

Our borough council has decided that they’re going to put a ban on dogs running free anywhere within the borough. I can understand why they’re fed up with people exercising their dogs on the playing fields because far too few bother to pick up after their dogs. After all, the dog might drop it while […]

Another memory pulled from the pot, this time with the aide of Richard, ex live-in partner, present… err… boyfriend? Well, some kind of relationship, anyhow
I can’t remember how long ago it was we met and I certainly can’t tell you when this happened, although I’m sure Richard will be able to. He’s always […]

I had another blog for a while that I was using purely to record my memories on. Eventually I decided that keeping two blogs was too time consuming and that I’d use this to record memories as well as rant, discuss, tell jokes, etc. The memoirs bit has kinda died off though and it was […]

So the fine for using a mobile phone while driving has increased to £60. Is that good?
Well as far as those of us who survive on the minimum wage or something close to it goes then yes, it’s good. The fine should hurt otherwise it’s no deterrent. But what about those who earn much, much […]

My mum was on the phone the other day and during our conversation she reminded me of the story of her and the bomb. I was rolling up! Honestly, she had me laughing so much that tears were rolling down my cheeks! My mum’s like that, y’see. She can make anybody laugh and even though […]

Apparently, this letter was recently sent by Tesco’s Head Office to a customer in Oxford:
Dear Mrs. Murray,

I just want to be able to snuggle up on the couch with a blanket pulled over me, candles alight and with a glass of vodka and bitter lemon to hand while I chat with Richard. That’s not much to want, is it?
I can’t have it though. His parents don’t have a walkabout phone so […]

I’ve decided that no matter how badly I need the money, I’m not going to accept jobs that mean working for a pittance.
Since Richard left, money has been very tight and, because it’s the beginning of the year, work has been slow in coming in. When the bills still need paying, it’s easy to start […]

Anybody remember the story I wrote, about my daughters and their igloo?
Well a guy’s just been and commented on that post and left a link to the story of his night spent in an igloo. Does that look cool (no pun intended) or what?

The title is the leader I happened to notice on today’s Daily Mail. Or was it the Express? Whatever… one of the black tops.
Tut Tut! When are they going to realise that all they’re doing is spreading piles of dung through society, making far too many people believe that everything around us is comparable to […]
