Can't help you there ????. I'm allergic to the Guardian and all it represents.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend - Marilyn Monroe

Or a least a tight-ish bun or two? (Preferable two now I think about it. A half-arsed bloke isn't really ideal.)

I know - it's really quite disappointing. Not a single rant? Not one heartfelt tirade? Not even the weeniest spot of self-righteous anger? It must be the weather. If we've all become well behaved and tolerant I shall cry. I may even stamp my foot.

Hmmm sorry Daizie I'm not sure anyone's in the mood for a scrap today. :))

Oh ok. I'll give it a go: Prosecco is, like, well nice an' anyone who says it isn't is a SL*G an' I'll see them outside. *legs it like the coward she really is*

That should have read "pump" of course. Though I quite like idea of pups with guns chasing the local cats...!

Prosecco isn't really a fad for me, I have to say. I don't like all Prosecco by any means but I really like that one. It's cold, bubbly, goes down a treat and is a whole pile cheaper than champagne. Don't knock it till you've tried it Quids. In fact I'll give you a free bottle, and if you hate it, you can come back on here and dis me. But if you like it you have to come back on here and play nicely! Deal? And yes it is domestic bliss over here giggirl!! Though mop head is now gone. We'd reached the stage where he needed a hairband to watch Thomas the Tank Engine, and after his father had had them for the weekend I could hear mutterings of "no son of mine......." etc etc. Shame, but probably for the best!

Ooooh tempting, but must sadly decline. I am at home with the baby beagles, who are off school now till September (god help me) and we are waiting for a hairdresser to arrive. Harry currently looks not unlike a vileda supermop. It just can't go on. Can I recommend the Bellenda Prosecco btw? Perfect in this weather. When I checked yesterday we had several bottles in the fridge.

Tenerife Lanzarote. Spanish coast around Marbella (but don't go up into the hills because it's quite nice there). Any cheap resort in Greece. (Or so I'm told. I remain pale and interesting in secluded parts of the Italian countryside when the baby beagles and I are holidaying, don't ya know.)

Giggirl, have you tried "Goose Green Playground"? It's been going a while, but there is some quite good "softy liberal hug a hoodie" -v- "string 'em up in the park as an example" type rows on there. Bit late for your lunch hour though, sorry.

Pup action water gun, at your side at all times. Works every time on cats and foxes. And irritating neighbours.

Box

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! I did it for 10 years. Almost anything else would be less, well, soul destroying? But that's just me. You might really like it.

Baggycat - pop into Green & Blue on a Saturday (I am one of the owners) and ask for Kate, and tell her about the wine. She is incredibly knowledgeable and will be able to tell you what you should do.

bump

That's very kind of you to try and accomodate me MP but I'm afraid I am a little disorganised right now, so it might be better if you stick to your plans, and perhaps if you have a meet up in late August I'll be able to make that.

Spaghetti

Yeah, they might keep feeding you in the hope that you can't sing and stuff your face at the same time?!

Oh please no. I'm not sure they'll keep their naan's down if we do!

I'd love to but it will have to be another time - Wednesday is choir day I'm afraid (same as Brum's choir) so I can't make it.

With you all the way Moos! The cheek of it......

I once walked into a door frame in Italy and really banged my head. Since the kids were with me I couldn't swear (oh how times have changed!) so instead I yelled "Santa Patata" (Holy Potato) Caused great hilarity amoungst the Italians.

On the HINGES of the coffin, if you don't mind. Feel better now?!
