Pedantic query: isn't it meridian?

As it happens, I finished reading the "Midwife" book just a few days ago. And while it does contain distressing scenes that one wouldn't find today, it also laments the decline in morality and community which the journalist conveniently sidesteps.

Slip of the keyboard, old boy, I meant Jermyn Street of course.

Trouble with watching at EDT is that trying to listen to commentary over the noise of the music is a bit trying. Not cricket, what?

Soho?

Nah, nah did just about sum it up. I'm not keen on furreners playing for England and I certainly thought KP was an arrogant tosspot, but to give him credit, he does seem to have responded rather maturely to the captaincy, and lost some of his ego (or at least learned to hide it). But despite trouncing SA on the last two one dayers, the grown up tests are the ones that count and we failed. I reckon the SA team were just resting on their laurels a little too much, besides, what have they got to prove?

Yours for the Lords test then?

I'm sure he did type it correctly. I think Brendan's rather in need of some uplifting support given the state of the SA one day team.

Damn - didn't have access to a computer that day, so much I wanted to say to you Brendan!

I have a vague recollection of Barnes Wallis doing some work on this donkey's years ago. How come nothing has been seriously developed in all that time?

I think the point that BBW was trying to make is that if you care about animals, you want to minimise their suffering in the most humane way possible - that's not the time to be sentimental, it's time to act.

Don't distract D_C, Sean, he'll be agog at the showjumping at the moment.

That's cos the real olympic events are on: running, hopping, skipping - that sort of thing.

Well done, BBW - completely the right thing to do. In the case of the fox and in lieu of a rifle, a swift club to the head might have been the less distressing option for it.

David, be fair, they are greased with whale blubber first.

Well that's another blow for gentlemanly behaviour e_p - everyone will now rush to be out of the lift first.

Asset, you're not going woo on us are you?

But will we be able to smoke in pubs again? If not, the people will insist on Jah.

Damn, missed it. Like a bit of (non-worm infested) mud. Bute has quite interesting side effects for horses & humans. See how much more fun it is with live animals - drilling holes in boats doesn't come anywhere near it.

Don't fancy The Hobbit round mine then? BTW, Mr Lewis, that noted philologist, would have us spell it 'dwarfs'.

It's cos he has 3 A Levels - thinks he knows it all.
