She refuses to look sheepish though, the little cow. What's wrong with sink washing? #The hands that do dishes, can feel soft as your face, with mild green Fairy liquid# Does nobody remember that song from the sixties? Probably written by Joni Mitchell? The first mention of which inspired the Green movement we have today? The inspiration for Madame Ulay to produce her oil, so that hands and faces would continue to be equally soft? I despair sometimes, I really do. Magna Carta? Did she die in vain?

Waking up early on a day when you're not working and taking a few seconds to realise that you have liberty, then making strong tea in your enamel mug, going back to bed and dipping into that book of Evelyn Waugh's letters that you haven't got round to reading. Or old copies of Viz, that works too.

Afghanistan Bananastan. That's from a film I like. Can't put a name to it for the moment, but well done on the Barry banana tree.

A window seat on the upper deck of a bus. Especially on the left-hand side. Except if it's the front seat, then right-hand window applies. It almost makes up for the c@ntbollockses shouting on their portable phones. Most nearly.

So pleased the opera singing twins won. When the more ginger of the two threw down his crutches and jumped into his brother's arms, I was likened almost to cry. That version of Herman's Hermits' No Milk Today was the utmost class. So let's wish the best of luck to Doubly Red.

The Moon Upstairs - Mott The Hoople

Dishwashers? So sixties. Come on people, we're in the eighties now.

Was there an expose-ay of a local politician in it? A sex scandal involving me and Louisa? If there was I'd like to read about it. If not, meh, I'll wait 'til next week.

I liked it when I bought the cassette tape, I'll have to look for it and play it again. I'll have to find out which album it was featured on. It's alright, don't look it up, I'm keen to search and have a bit of a guess. I'm a believer in that respect.

Out Demons Out - The Edgar Broughton Band

They gave, it's yours. To do with what you will. Take time out to watch Flog It and Dickinson's Real Deal, there are wasters and nogoodniks on there selling items that have been in their families for generations. On the spurious grounds that 'It's just sitting in a cupboard', 'none of my kids want it' or 'I'd like it to go to someone who might appreciate it more and give it a good home'. The lying greedy graspers. And some of them only realise 40 or 50 quid for their heirlooms. Work colleagues? Who cares? Sell the thing and spend the money in Chener Books. It'll do some good there.

Robert Wyatt wrote a song seeming to favour Stalin in his opposition to the 'Beast of Berlin' , and I like Robert Wyatt well enough. Too beardy (unless you're one of The Dubliners, then don't, just don't) and a bit too floundering 'commie', but a bona fide national treasure. His version of I'm A Believer is quite the cat's pyjamas.

Bored? Don't you have the telly? I have two, one of which is in colour. I'm in a constant state of thrill. Go on Ms D, Argos will let you have one and you won't even have to pay for a year. This weekend alone will ensure you can watch Saturday Morning Kitchen, and if you watch it on the correct receiver it'll be in colour. The butter will never look more real.

Oh now I see, the joke is on the employer, asking for a trio when he only wanted a duo. Booked Foster & Allen when what was required was the original Thin Lizzy. Or something similar. Or something else.

Deal? I've just spotted this for the first time since my post. I would like to apologise without reservation to StrangeMartin for a post that was personally offensive and generally obnoxious. Strangemartin I hope you're able to accept. Regards

I've just looked at my collection of notebooks containing my thoughts, reflections, feelings and receipts for the last 30 years and realised they've been recorded on Moleskin, rather than Moleskine. How could I have been so stupid? Buying out of a suitcase from Romford Nigel that's how. Oh how I rue the day I met that cunning rogue who sold me a 'set of notebooks that'll keep you going for the next 50 years'. It's just not the same now it's not Moleskine. Louisa, I withdraw my critical remarks concerning WH Smith and will ensure that I visit tomorrow and seek out Moleskine notebooks, of which I am sure there will be a wide selection and plentiful supply. The final record in my Moleskin notebook will be that I have litttle or no confidence that they will be any less sh!t in the supply of Dymo label cassettes. Fondest regards to you both.

Sue Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Have found the tree department quite helpful in > the past :) See, Sue now I feel I'm being led down the path of the joke about the trio of Irish arborealists, you know the tree fellers. Now I consider it I don't know the beginning of the joke.

Louisa Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Erm how about W H Smith in Rye Lane? > > Louisa. The last time I patronised the establishment, the range of cassettes for my Dymo label maker was poor in the extreme. And as for the selection of Moleskin notebooks... I made note in the Moleskin I carried at the time, that 'should I wish to label WH Smith as anything, I would not be able to do so, for the lack of Dymo label cassettes'. An apercu that found its way to several salons, let me tell you.

No, please don't. You'll only encourage the blighters and they might think they might have to actually do what you're suggesting. Let it lie. Do.

Oh stop, I like some tree coverage, and wouldn't cut a leaf off their branches. It'll be autumn soon enough and no one will remember the leaves. It's only for a few months each year, and we can always duck and dive around them, so let's keep Barry Road a proper avenue.
