Imagine my excitement when I discovered that today the Mail on Sunday was printing an exclusive extract of the latest Dan Brown novel.


How to gauge its value and measure its worth against the free Smiths DVD given away by the Indie?


I found myself in quite the pickle - which, oh which to buy?

Yeah quids, what are you on about - OFM today, with extracts from the new Nigel Slater (I would imagine a far superior read to the extract from the Dan Brown, but as I don't actually enjoy bleeding eyes, couldn't tell you for certain).


Yay for me and my bleeding heart (if not eyes) - I bought the Indie AND the Observer - keeping the papers afloat single-handed (apart from that MacGabhann fella).


Unfortunately wolfie, I couldnae steal the DVD, as it's a send-away type offer. Also, my bleeding heart just wouldn't allow it. You and your stony Times-reading heart can keep your Shawshank (one of the best films of all time hyperbole nonsense!) I've already got it anyway.


Boy am I in high spirits this evening - even if I put my chicken in the oven really late and am only going to get a sandwich when Waking the Dead's nearly finished.


Oversharing, me?

Yes, I think so too - but I believe the Birthday Boy was talking about Dan Brown, so I concluded that SeanMac was misdirecting his ire.


But what do I know? I read trashy books, and enjoy them*.


*Yes, I know, cross me off, blah blah blah. Like I was going to get one anyway.

Rosie read me right, Moos read the situation right and I see quids meant Dan-o now


So I was wrong and an especially carefully crafted cardboard christmas c... no I can't alliterate any more - but quids is back on the list. Moos was never off it

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
