I'm with you there MW74 nothing like embarassing one's offspring, which I keep telling mine that's what the parents role in life is, just like our parent's toe curling attempts to slaughter us, especially in front of a gaggle of our best friends. What's the point of having kids if you don't give them grief to the max. What kind of parent could I be classed as, if I didn't show them how excrutiating life can be as a young raw adult. It is excellent preparation for youngsters to learn how to shoulder the burden of lifes all engulfing mantel of many miseries.

I wonder if there are any Physics/Scientists out there who remember something about wave energy and the bobbing ducks which were classed as highly efficient at extracting energy from the waves off shore. Although not considered to be economical to manufacture then, around the early seventies as energy was so cheap. Would the same be the case today with all the massive rises in oil gas etc? Why are we buying American extremely safe nuclear systems for billions if we can harvest the west coast of Scotland?

I see that as a positive trait with your child mightyroar, perhaps she will become an accountant and cut the rate of taxes for her clients. She may progress to the banking fraternity and cut interest rates. She may become a dress designer/tailors cutter. A new Banksy cutting out collages. Can I have her autograph before she gets famous.....

I saw Joe Brand stuffing her face on an outside table at the inappropriately named Petit Chou, perhaps La Grande chou might have been more fitting.

Yeah but they had a donkey ride.

Dear Huguenot, Myself and the new luddites would like to thank you on the information you have supplied us, and we admire the depth of your knowledge on this new fangled do-nut shaped, death ray machine. Me and the boys (new luddites to a man) wonder if you have a timetable of the security monkeys posted around this Devil machine and does anyone sell big hammers near by to the do-nut mountain? I am thanking you sir in anticipation, The full membership of the New Luddites East Dulwich Branch.

I guess it relieves the dull repetitive nature of a dull repetitive job in a strange land, culture, and language.

Bit of a sauce when lottery money was its saviour.

When we have airports surrounding London why fly over it instead of landing at the nearest air strip. Wouldn't that save on fuel, for which they surcharge? Wouldn't that reduce the risk of one falling to potential disaster in a densely populated area?

An expensive do-nut shaped euro trough, for euro snouts to revel in. Or am I being cynical?

Revamped on lottery money too!

They punch and they kick you

Last time I was in thigh boots Ms B Was fishing in a scottish loch in the Shetlands. It was early August, the rain was horizontal and the wind was blowing hard enough to lift the toupee off a bald midget standing in a crater. I caught nothing but a chill, and I have never missed wearing those thigh boots.

Increase the parking at peckham pulse, and make sure the amount of disabled parking conformed to the national average of disabled people. Remove all legal speak and replace with "Simple English". All appliance books (cookers washing machines etc)to be re-written in Simple English. All parking signs to be made understandable to the users, more Simple English. Stuff from the council written in above Simple English. Explanations on all food products in honest and truthful Simple English. Accountants, doctors, lawyers, Psychiatrists, business managers, and any other jargonistic bullsh2t will be punished by a day in the stocks. TV advertisers will be flogged if there adverts are not quieter and lower in decibels than the actual programme. All TVs will be fitted with 2 volume controls, one for speech and the other to control the music, independently. All tobacco products will have the addict forming bits removed, to be replaced by some loathsome product that would make the user gain weight, Fat Fags. Boris Johnson would be sent away on a bendy bus, no mayor of London from here on in and no bendy buses. The house of commons would be used strictly for tourist to hang out in and charged accordingly. The incumbents would be moved to somewhere more appropriate designed for modern day commerce, like 'carbunkle tower'. Bicycle lanes would be on all main roads, and seperated from motorised traffic. Aircraft would be forbidden to fly over the capital, eventually to be banished from flying over all urban areas. To be continued..............................

I have been in there and I could barely understand them either Lizziedjango had to ask for a repeat which I still didn't comprehend then gave up. Well over due for an upgrade.

Cross post, and moos line worked better.

unless you're on speed

Drear times indeed

I am concerned that I have not instilled in them sufficiently the most important lesson, how to live on what they earn without drifting into debt.

Saturday night with nothing to do
