I once went sea fishing ( brave girl that I am )


I caught a large Codling and then started pulling a Mackerel in. The guy on the boat I was with took it off the hook and threw it back.

Now, that didn't bother me but my darling lady can't face eating one since.


Put her right off it has.

I have noticed 'bee miles' on jars of honey now. Agree, it has that effect on me too.

What Mr Ben says. Also that gruesome fraud "Lady" Gaga is putting me off music. Not just her own cheap derivative doggerel. All music. Stop her -NOW.

I have never been able to open a can of baked beans (which I lurve) without thinking of a news story years ago where someone opened up a can of beans and tipped out not only the little golden/red ball of yumness but a perfectly cooked mouse http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/wuerg/vomit-smiley-019.gif

I used to quite like Bright Eyes (tha Conor Oberst band, not the Art Garfunkel song, though I have a soft spot for it, loving Watership Down as a kid) until I went to a live concert.

His fans were singularly the least humoured most self regarding bunch of mopes ever and Coner, far from being the witty ironic satirist i though he was, was just as much of a self regarding, humourless mope.


It was about eight years before I was able to put on any of his songs again.

I occasionally indulge these days; a twonk he may be but he does write a good song now and again.

I like cycling- but its those hills that put me off- whenevre i head south and hit crystal palace hill I seem to decide it is better to cycle to the bottom of the hill and back 3 times rather than cycle up it ..............

Just watching Northern Exposure on DVD, but in searching out where it was filmed , I discovered that the spectacular and sexually charged Maggie is now a host of Tea Party events who says that Obama stole God from her children.


Ho hum....

    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
    • Is it lame? Or is it Lamey? (sorry)
