Dear Mr/Ms Nero Have you read Pies and Prejudice by Stuart Maconie? I've always found him a bit annoying but book a great nostalgia trip for us northeners. I've just got back from sunny Normandy (so full of goat's cheese I can hardly breathe) where I should by rights have been reading Flaubert but was taken on a rosy tinted tour of Lancashire and Yorkshire- fabulous holiday read. Made me want to pick up a Wainwright and go trotting off up to the Lakes.......

Have a happy easter DM. You deverve it for hitting all those high notes! I was exhausted and parched after Oh sacred head ill used (great lyrics though). Mum and I had to go home for a small glass of sherry. (walked past Dr Boo on way home, Mum sighs "Oh what drab dresses") Off to France this morning. Everyone asleep still. Peace at last.... Au revoir!

I'll put in a tenner.

What that you singing solo? I was the one shouting "free Barnabus" very loudly.

Dear DM One and a half hour at St Thomas More! And then we were supposed to put our own chairs away!!! I do like a nice hymn though Happy Easter!

too posh too expensive too home counties too up itself too daily mail too not iceland

Is the temporary accommodation on another site going to be all the way over at Langbourne???

Elvis is in fact the Somerfield Home delivery van driver . I saw him in Sainsburys one day and he said he did his own shopping there........ I like Somerfield because I can walk there and I can walk home again (or Elvis delivers it for me). If I had more time (and money) I would swan around LL all day and shop local buying my bits and bobs and generally dispensing good cheer. I still feel that Waitrose is for posh people so I don't shop there. Sad but true.

I was once in the audience for Gardeners Question Time and I can honestly say it changed my life.

I think that Mr and Mrs Hopoe and Greenwood also live on Underhiil Road (large gingerbread house- you can't miss it)

There is a chess club for kids above that new bookshop on Northcross Road. Maybe they do adults too. (Or maybe you could challenge the kids)

I try this tactic: *shouts loudly* "GET OFF YOUR PHONE YOU IDIOT" Get's on my nerves alongside people who think they can drink and drive because "it makes my reactions better". No it doesn't. You are thick and stupid so is driving whilst using a phone. *quietly climbs off soap box*

*finds mantilla and rosary beads in preparation for Good Friday* *starts reciting the joyful mysteries* *cocks crows three times*

Amelie- I know that ladybirds like hibernating in window frames and things so they are probably waking up. No idea why they are in your sugar jar though! There is a new larger agressive ladybird that has arrived in the UK - called the harlequin ladybird that is a threat to our existing ladybirds- I think they have 7 spots but maybe you could swing by the London Wildlife Centre (Marsden Road, off Ondine Road) and talk to them. They will know exactly how to advise you! Good luck!

Dear DM ,Love to pop in and take tea with you but much as I admire the Northern music scene I can not in all honesty share your devotion to Take That. I hear that the gardening section of the Times is good though. What do you think ? I am however going to nip to Alleyns Garden centre tomorrow first thing to pick up a plant I ordered. I'll keep an eye out for you and your Gary Barlow special edition. PS. How many times has your mum been to church this week? My mum been at least 3 already. She is coming here on (Maundy) Thursday and so I have to overcome my natural loathing of Fr O 'C and check out Good Friday services at St Thomas More.......should I wear a hat or a hair shirt?

Jimmy Saville was on the cover of whatever I was reading. *shudder*

Definitely.

I used to walk past there and try and think of ways of rescuing the plants and giving them a happy home. It was horrible watching them slowly die.......

Lucky your mum. My mum coming this Thurs.She may be given an ASBO. I have banned her from ED for saying loudly "what a load of expensive tat", from the Blue Mountain for asking for Nescafe and "no frothy", from Pretty Traditional for scoffing at people who "are conned by buying organic food", from Hope and Greenwood "because Lidl is so much better value".......... do you have a muzzle ?

Isn't that Mr Batdog- Darcy I see emerging from the lake ?

*lounge user* *2 words* *first word 2 syllables* *sounds like "Bristol"* *second word 1 syllable* *sounds like "beer"

Do you actually tow your mum around Mr P ? What do you use? ( More importantly -what have you made her for lunch ????)

Traffic wardens are often patrolling round Northcross/Fellbrigg Roads in silver peugeots. Seen them loads of times. Drive round, jump out and ticket.

Is it true you also do great cakes???

Does you get a prize ???? (and what percentage of the posts came from your fair keypad ? I would have put money on it being you, Keef or DM !)
