Please thank Squid for lending you and the apprentices to us for
the day. 'T would've bin very hard jbex without you. BTW, I
ran a bath not so long back for the younglings - and the clod
tap still continues to jbex! Are you sure you don't know wot
you did tuit? Not that it matters pertickly, it'd just be nice
to know in case it ever refuses to give up its cache of clod
water again in the future. BTW2, HWSO has just gorn orff to
Argos in a rush 'cos they close in arf an 'our. We are cynavat
a couple of daze break and I want to get the rajos charged up
tonight. Hopefully they will have the 6-pack; failing that the

I just put the fluence on it.
For that that weren't there...Fran's bath's cold tap ain't jbexed for
over a year. I wandered into the b'froom to limber up ready to have a go
at fixing it (you know, suck air between teeth, tap things
knowlegdably), turned the tap...and Lo! there was water.
I feel a bit like one of Thomas a Becket's murderers.

Nah. One of the knights wot bumped him orft felt terrible remorse at his
deeds and smote the ground in anguish round the back of Otford castle in
Kent. A spring sprang forth from where he struck and it's still known as
"Beckett's Well".
The finding of Roman coins in the bottom of the springhead has done
nothing to dispel the story!
The spring [1] was later used to feed cress beds which in the 70s were
bought by part of the McDowell family (Roddy and Angie and that lot) who
turned it into a trout farm. Our neighbour's cat Omar used to go trout
fishing at least once a week and bring her in a socking great specimen.
The things Frances could do with trout in a kitchen were amazing. The
McDowells tolerated Omar 'cos he kept the foxes and other cats away.
[1] Part of the springline running along the base of the North Downs
where the permeable chalk top meets the heavy Weald Clay underneath.
There's a line of villages following the interface all the way along
because the water supply is so reliable...and very nice to drink, too.

Not...."The Black Spot"? Is your kitchen floor cowering in anticipation
of a swarthy pirate fresh from the Spanish Main bursting in with a pair
of hobnail boots and trampling it to death?
I whishy wood! Then I cood have a new one! This one were cut to fit
the previous kitchen, and there's a bit missing where the units are now
a different shape, and when they fitted it, they tore the vinyl (it were
a repair following a minor flood that turned into a major hassle - as is
everything in this house!), and a few weeks after it went down, the S&H
dropped summat sharp on it and sliced it. It was nice when we chose
it! I need a nice remnant, about 4' wide and 12' long, in a simla
colour.

IRTA cat.
Shame they're allergic to 'em, 'cos what Fran's house really needs is a cat.
Inky and Squid sat on the sofa last night and watched Fellowship of the
Ring. Shrimp (black cat) toddled along and sat next to Inky and he
stroked her for about an hour. This is quite something...he'd only just
made his peace with her after his own toddlerhood when Pipple turned up
and put her right off children again.
Pipple's discovered an arj trick...bodysurfing down the stairs. When
she's in a hurry she lies on her tummy, feet first then straightens out
and slithers all the way down in about two seconds. Had kittens the
first time I saw her do it...and latterly giggles. Squid says she's seen
her do it on her back, too...but I ain't seen that yet.

Some friends and I went to a staggeringly boring army party when we were
in our very early twenties. To relieve the boredom we slid down a vast
staircase for hours on end. I couldn't walk properly for a week
afterwards 'cos I was so bruised.

Could you lend her to me?
On Saturday I inphhzed upstairs, as that's my job while Rapunzel painted the
cot. On Sunday I inphhzed downstairs and then I jnfued the floor because it
really, really needed doing. And then my back went on strike and it's still
stiff as a board today. So I won't be doing that again. It's Rapunzel's

Should us in't'norf have done owt? In sympathy, o'course. Not that I
fimk the feckin' news's biased. Like the weather - torrential rain in
the south-east - I careth not a jot, I don't boodly live there. But
it's obviously worserer for 'em.

Old-fashioned sleds on icy hillsides were fun too, as long as

Stone wall? Eeeh, tha were lucky...we had a bramble patch. Found in the
end that it was more fun to molish a snow ramp and leap it than stop
before it. The wiser among us wore Dad's jbexshop goggles in case it all
went wrong.
We also had an enameled oven door which was splendid for polished ice.
The only trouble was that it was so slippery it lacked any directional
stability and allowed you to weathercock so your legs ended up behind.
Couldn't lie down...t'was too small, so sitting was the only option, but
you always ended up going down backwards unless you trailed a hand...but
that cost speed.
There's a hill near here leading down to Rough Park which is about 300
yards long, and if snowy enough and with a good tobacconist can be
navigated in one swell foop.

We did a couple of years ago. Splendid it was.

Aarrbut the 'bride price' is paid by HIS fambly to make sure they get a
goodun fer breeding stock!

Austin Shackles. www.ddol-las.fsnet.co.uk my opinions are just that
Once, when the secrets of science were the jealously guarded property of
a small priesthood, the common man had no hope of mastering their arcane
complexities. Years of study in musty classrooms were prerequisite to
obtaining even a dim, incoherent knowledge of science.
Today, all that has changed: a dim, incoherent knowledge of science is
available to anyone. - Tom Weller, Science Made Stupid, 1986

Unforgets me of the old tradition of using resteraunt trays ( silvery
steel ) to surf down the dry ski-slope at Aviemore, after the Scottish
rally. We used to use the side by side cycle things as getaway
vehicles when the dibblery arrived.

Fanks. Good to hear your own move went well too, apart from being
robbed by Telia.
I am a bit miffed today, on account of finding the perfect house
yesterday, and my sister looking the post code up on Upmystreet and
convincing James that it'd be a bad investment. While he was wittering
on about not wanting to ohl something that'd have no resale value some
other rotters snuck round and put in an offer. Me lovely house and
gardin, nicked right out from under me sweaty hands! They were only
asking 40 thou for it too, so I would have been delightfully well orf
on me little pension.
AAW I have come down wiv a rotten sore throat, snotty head and fever.
I'm sure it must be that clod what has been creeping through the shed.
I advise everyone to dip their puters in vinegar to kill the virus
before it spreads any further.
Now I'm gwaning back to bed, for the 3rd or 4th time today. Hope I
remember to log on to the intynet later on tonight and send these
massages.

Well, honestly, t'was obvious we were talking about brideprice, and
not dowries, don't be such a pendant.
I've dipped mine in formaldehyde, no less.

I've gotten the cold now TAAW. I don't have any jbex cynaarq for
today, so I'll stay home, make tomato soup, drink orange juice and
generally be very nice to myself. If they call from jbex to ask if I
can jbex today, I'll say that I'm ill which is true. I'll have to go
fubccvat for orange juice, but I *arrq* orange juice.

Seems that you did. I'll just sit here with my tea most of the day, I
imagine.
