I probably shouldn't laugh at this, but some train driver's rather batty mum gets interviewed by the local rag for reasons I can't quite comprehend. Obviously an extraordinarily slow news day in Hertfordshire.


He's going to cop a hell of a ribbing if the boys at the depot work out who he is...

At the theatre the security guard was checking the contents of my bag thoroughly (middle-aged women being a suspect demographic). She suddenly stopped, gave me a funny look, pointed at the bottom of the bag and said, 'What's that?' I'd forgotten the large courgette wrapped in a plastic bag. Mortified.

"Is that a courgette in your bag madam? Well, it seems to be buzzing with excitement at seeing the play."

Those Aussies. Thinking of becoming a Republic again but still insist on using the Queen's English, which us Irish obviously fail miserably at........

A picture in the property section of this month's Living South, entitled:


"Presidents Quay House, prices from ?1,799,999"


Now I can understand somebody being taken in by something priced at, say, ?17.99 and thinking that sounds much cheaper than ?18.


But if you are looking at houses around the ?1,800,000 mark, is the pound difference of ?1,799,999 really going to tip the balance?

    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
