We used to say 'rude' (which it was intended to be ? I have irrational rage), but 'intolerant' is the sin du jour, I suppose.

Does your irrational rage extend to calling someone a Twat to their face, or is it just limited to being behind a keyboard/touchscreen?...

'Seems' = my perception. From memory it was a quiet day for me though.

How sensationalist the BBC News has become.


Man inappropriately touches woman's knee 15 years ago, he said sorry, she says she ain't bothered.

BBC front page news says "Michael Fallon 'apologised for touching journalist's knee'"


That's not news. It's an old, miniscule incident that's trying to be used to stir up more stuff to make yet more shit news.


Note to self: Stop reading the news you moron, it's irrelevant rubbish! Go re-read the chapter on Why you shouldn't read the news in that book The Art of Thinking Clearly.

10.30pm: put on clean nightdress and get into freshly changed bed complete with normal-weight duvet instead of thin summer one. Open Agatha Christie.


10.32pm: hot flush. Get out of bed, drink cold water, visit bathroom.


Repeat.

Commiserations xx

There's a certain type of song that has become really popular in advertising that I call the John Lewis cover song.


It's generally a young lady singing a slow soft ethereal cover version.


Current examples are "Stand by Me" in a Nescafe ad. "Send in the Clowns" in a car ad and "Ready or Not" in a Green and Blacks ad.


I am usually subjected to this at least twice when I visit the cinema.

    • It's a lovely journey via train, particularly with older children. Another vote for man in Seat 61 as the best source of info!
    • Hi there I am an experienced cat/dog/house sitter. If you are going away this summer and would be to know your house and animals are being taken care of well don’t stress I can help. I have experience across a range of breeds, rescued more animals than I can count and I am a qualified vet nurse.  Please get in touch with dates and location and hopefully I won’t be booked up. Happy to negotiate a good rate.    Contactable references available, current DBS available.    Many thanks  Trace  
    • What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
