Yeah, those sheep shaggers really get your goat. Or sheep, even.


Reminds me of an old joke about a Kiwi/welshman/insert-your-favorite-sheep-nation-here taking their driving test:


Instructor: Can you make a U-turn?

Driver: Oh yeah - I can make her eyes bulge.

HmB,you want to try wearing tights: what you said, but all the way up your leg, and you only realise once they've cut off your femoral artery, AND if you try to straighten them rather than taking them off and starting again your irritation will make a hole so you have to throw them away and find a new pair anyway.


Twisted sock? You don't know when you're well off.

At this time of year you want your thermal tights on, at least for daytime. M&S heatgen are good because they're as thin as normal opaque tights but warmer, whereas the traditional thermal ones with wool are too bulky. To complete your winter granny chic look you need a thermal vest under the dress, knee-length boots, socks and a cashmere cardie. Then you should be toasty.

Ahem....

People who say "students" when they really ought to say "pupils", especially if they think it makes them sound more modern, trans-Atlantic and/or like they're "empowering" school children by giving them a more adult-sounding name.

The woman who stepped off the pavement into the path of my bike and said rather accusingly 'no lights'. A bit harsh considering I had four, two at the front and two at the back, even if the battery on the main front one was wearing down. She'd stand a better change of seeing them if she actually looked.

DEC charities and their local partners are now preparing to scale up their work in Gaza after months of extraordinary challenges delivering aid.   Food, water and shelter are desperately needed throughout Gaza.   The levels of need are catastrophic. Please donate now.   More than 2 million people, all of Gaza’s population, are facing extreme food insecurity. The UN-backed global hunger monitor, the IPC, confirmed in August that famine* is now a reality in parts of Gaza for the first time. Following the ceasefire agreement, safe access for urgently needed humanitarian aid is expected to increase, and DEC charities and their local partners are preparing to rapidly adapt and expand their programmes again. Donations to the Middle East Humanitarian Appeal are providing urgent relief to families in crisis.   Please act now to help people in desperate need of emergency support, with food, water and shelter.   We have seen what can be done during a period of ceasefire in Gaza to repair water supplies, reach the worst affected people and get emergency supplies to those on the brink. Thank you so much, Saleh Saeed DEC Chief Executive     Photo credit: Majdi Fathi/Christian Aid * The UN-backed global hunger monitor, the IPC, said in its latest alert that famine (IPC Phase 5) is now a reality across Gaza City and surrounding areas. © Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), 17-21 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GT.
