Cheers for that PGC.

The next time I play pretend rugby with my made up 15, (named the 'Roaring Boys', the other non-existent 14 weren't keen, but I had the sham casting vote) I'll be sure and certain to visit a load of old cobblers shop and pretend to purchase a tin of saddle soap.

Actually bollocks to all that I'll pretend to nick it and the imaginary shopkeeper can run after me while I show him a clean pair of heels. In my mind the heels are attached to a pair of deep purple Church's brogues. But there I go being fanciful.

Any way where was I? Oh, the imaginary shopkeeper chases me for a few hundred yards, but I outrun him (yea right) and ends up shaking his fist ineffectually at my rapidly disappearing back (yea f@cking right)

Any way I get home all exhausted and that, and what's waiting on the doorstep for me?

Only the new Beatles remastered box set, autographed by all four of the Beatles.

Don't know how they manage it, but I'm glad that they do.

Love Me Do? Not something I'd admit to in mixed company.

Help? I'll have all I can get thanks.

Ticket To Ride? Uncanny, it's like they knew the Oyster card was going to happen.Gives me goosebumps.

Don't you know LB a sense of humour will not get a man anywhere with a girl. A girlfriend/wife is the only person in a man's life who does not find him funny.

That's my experience anyway - these women train themselves to roll their eyes rather than laugh - they get so good at it that it becomes an automatic response to even the funniest things. Its an amazing skill. My wife is really good at it.

Libby, I tip my hat and waggle a glass in your general direction for one of the finest pieces of sarcasm it's been my pleasure to receive.

Skol!

And when someone close to you says "That's funny" accompanied by a tight-lipped smile, where once there was a thrown-back-headed throaty 'come to bed' sort of laugh, it just makes you want to go dancing in traffic, doesn't it?

Or something or other.

Let's see now, soon BBW will be flirting with LibertyFlush and they would be engaged in acts of mutual ...er... admiration. I just wish that this young man would confine his fantasies to the privacy of his top bunk from now on. The musings of an adolescent boy are not really for me...
Let's see now, soon D.M will be flirting with the notion that LibertyFlush would be engaged in acts of mutual ...er... admiration. I just wish that this middle aged woman would confine her fantasies to the privacy of her bathroom from now on. The grabby desperation of an old witch are not really for me...

    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.
