I swept my chimney today and I can't believe how much better my woodburner is drawing/burning.
It's happened to me, as well.
What's going on??????
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
Chocolate cake or raspberry crumble?
While I'm on a Random Confessions roll (very cathartic) can I go with:
I am about to spend a long weekend in rural Lancashire, staying in the Miss Whiplash suite.
Chesty cold, when will it go away?
“Don’t look back, you’re not heading that way.”
My wife has suggested we get an au pair. The fnatasy in my mind is a athletic, svelte, blonde from Scandanavia with a tendency to wear fetish clothing and an penchant for energetic sex with bearded, overweight Yokshiremen in their 40's. The reality is probably a fat ginger Australian with an attitude problem. Just thought i'd share.
I'm still slightly hungover from the weekend. Screw work. I'm going for a snooze.
Well i wont be going to France, i might kill them today.
If the fat one asks for a chair one more time....
Yup, in a nutshell. Ah well, i may have to put the kybosh on this idea. If i have to share my home with someone, i'd rather it not be with somone who i hate the site of who annoys me or someone i love looking at who could get me in trouble. I'll just have to train the dogs up!
I have just remembered a period in my teens, when I lost the ability to say "lure". All I could manage was a rather strange sounding "loo-er" noise.
A day at the office doesn't seem complete until I've disappointed someone.
With a break in the weather I decided to take my boat from its summer mooring to its winter storage at the top of Poole harbour, some break in the weather! It took me ages to make any headway against the tide, spray and 25 knots of head wind. I tucked behind a Marines landing craft and allowed him to flatten the water and punch a hole in the wind.
Three hours later I was sat in a nice bistro bar drinking a pale ale and wondering why I was so nervous out there!
I torture myself with Man V Food. :(
since when did yum yum become om nom nom?
Today I have been mostly burning Hawthorne and chestnut, in the woodburner, both wind fall trees, what are you burning?
Had to get the jacket out today, it is in the 50's F here in Texas. Nice change from 100 F a month ago. :)
I'm puzzled by the need for a thread about a Tag/Zenith clearance shop in an outlet village having some watches at reduced prices.
Is this what it's come to?

im convinced that these glasses make me sniff.
Wee fella is potty training just now. Not done a poo for three days, poor wee scone. Just heard from the nursery that he has done the biggest poo they have ever seen. I am a mix of relieved (couldn't have been nice for the wee guy), proud (that's my boy, log off the old branch), disappointed (would have liked to see his first big poo laid properly) and disbelieving (some of those nursery girls are sturdy to say the least and must have dropped a kak the size of Alfie himself let alone one of his big poos)
Respect the past, live the present, protect the future
Two weeks off work and I've hurt my back polishing the car !
The polish boys down the road only charge a fiver doh
No sympathy expected.
When I'm watching him eat a huge New York 28-day aged grilled steak.

I was sitting in my favourite chair minding my own business when my watch felt loose. I looked and the bracelet had lost a tiny screw. Having spent some time looking for it I resisted vacuuming that part of the carpet for a week, searching each day, until yesterday I found it and fixed the bracelet. I'm happy with that.
i think im getting SARS.
do not eat a real foods chocolate bar.
theyre completely gross and scratch the roof of your mouth.
no.. it was foisted on me to the tune of "tryittryittryit" by a health freak colleague.
but generally im totally all over chocolate given half a chance
Why did the bloke in the pissoir stamp his feet before leaving?
By coincidence the lady next to me at lunch has just taken delivery of a huge, turd-shaped sausage. It has the consistency of Bavarian Weißwurst (though it's probably a blood sausage) and oozes out of its' skin which I find less than appetizing. Mind you, she looks like she's had a few of these in her time.
