It tried to keep the car level at all times.

Mr Moos is fluent in German, perhaps it's because he is a German national;-) Moos and Mr Moos often turn up for the EDF monthly drinks.

Good stuff jollybaby.

Peckham Rose you've pulled!

There will be more "fiscal easement"!

If you liked that then you may like "There is a happy land" a film written about children growing up in a northern town by Keith Waterhouse.

I bet they sit quietly when the sparrow-hawk is doing his rounds. The garden looks uninhabited when the hawks are about.

Good for you!

Went to RHS wisley and saw a tree-creeper which was fun as I hadn't seen one for many years.

Enjoying Glen Miller's swing band! I bought a double CD from Asda for four quid and it has been hours of good listening.

I am honoured by frequent visits of a family of sparrows at the nut feeder, but I see far more of the great tits. When I was a lad they were forever making a cacophony of noise but now they are all but silent and no longer a common species.

Where does this guy get off insisting he is British? He was born in Pakistan has a Pakistani name and looks like a Pakistani.............. He was caught "at it" in a tough regime, sorry but I have little sympathy, no one knows how many trips he has previously undertaken laden with smack, and China has the last word! Their land their rules, would that it were so here.

We have another like minded flowery prose merchant called Ted Max and you sound similar 'The Eye' good quality scribes both!

If you use a feed, then you shouldn't have to change it at all, I wouldn't have thought... The garden man can confirm, as I'm sure he doesn't change the contents of all of his boxes each and every year.

The facts are that the performance of the health visitor when my two were babies '87 '90 were exactly as described in earlier posts, all boxes ticked and rush off to the next site. With the first one we only had young and inexperienced nannies, which was rather like employing a dependant child. When the second one arrived we had a mature, intelligent, and industrious nanny which made all the difference in making our busy lives much easier.
