  1. My head hurts - what exactly are you trying to say?
  2. I have just discovered Jan Struther online. She was the author of "Mrs Miniver", articles in The Times that was made into a film. They are a delicious slice of the thirties and as they are articles, one can dip in and out. Not as comfortable as squishing up on a sofa, but unless anyone out there has the book form, I shall continue to peer into the screen.
  3. Am I being thick? Point 2. seems to contradict point 1.
  4. [An aside. RH, I was taught as a child that it was very rude to refer to a woman as 'woman' and that the polite form was 'lady'. When did this lose favour?]
  5. A streetcar named Desiree
  6. Brendan, it was much funnier imagining ma with a gate stuffed up her skirts.
  7. That gaffe has a swimming pool. I know cos Princess Di wanted the RAC to close off their pool for her exclusive use while it was being refurbished. She was given short shrift. Bally good chaps those motorists.
  8. And then there were four. That's eight overnight - I'm convinced it's the heron.
  9. Marlene Dietrich - think it's all that talk about high-waisted trousers today.
  10. Besame Mucho - Mario Lanza
  11. That's not fair Louisa. I saw her handing out leaflets outside the old Peckham Safeway once. Oh hang on, I think it was during the General Election.
  12. One becomes 12 little ducklings, all to one mama. And the drake is still trying to roger her - typical man.
  13. Well I understand MCC are recruiting stewards D_C, you could be the best dressed one. Moos - if you will keep mixing those potions, it's hardly my fault. (ps - saw a great ducking stool in Canterbury the other day - I'm sure you could try it for size.)
  14. That could have something to do with tracksuits and the fact that "Noone likes us" is ours!
  15. David, you may wear a panama when you go to Lords, but not really at any other time. PS - asking after a lady's teddy could get you into trouble.
  16. Was it you who stole the Dalek in 1973?
  17. There's a riddle, Brendan!
  18. Don't be silly - Kit Marlowe
  19. Only from brickies from Penge.
  20. It's fine, but don't go if you have delicate ears with regard to swearing. Just mutter positive things about Harry Cripps, Bryan King and Terry Hurlock and you'll blend in.
  21. I love my dog - Cat Stevens
  22. Yuk. Couldn't see them yesterday either, but there is one new mallard duckling on the big lake.
  23. Bollocks. Even lovlier word.
  24. Egg - Larva - Pupa - Dormancy - Imago = Butterfly, therefore, Muhammad Ali?
