Not at all. No nonono.
I've not (I don't think) mentioned it here, and it was all a long time ago. I'll have the rum though.

Hmm, so that's in about 6 weeks - just enough time to get the last 30 years worth of my holiday photos onto digital format and made up into a powerpoint presentation...

Morning!
That's a nice dance you've got going on there!
Was Cathode the one who hadn't been laying?

Congratulations to Cathode on the egg! And all the better for being a 'happy chicken' egg, not a 'chicken acting out of habit' egg, so to speak...
Well, had a couple of busy days, so not been about - spent yesterday being a recyling collection operative (handy few extra quid!), must have walked a couple of miles in all, back and forth between the doorsteps and the trike/trailer/electric buggy. And getting occasionally splashed by that mix of rainwater, dregs of old wine and beer and god knows what else known as 'box wee'. Still, the weather was lovely and warm and we wombled two perfectly good chairs, a laptop bag and (my favourite) a novelty bottle which once contained M and S whisky, in the shape of an old (like model T type) car.
And thanks to the generous gift of a friend I had staying over the weekend, I must have been the only bin person in York to have fois gras sarnies in my packed lunch.
Just one thing. Why, if people have kerbside recycling and it comes with a leaflet asking you to sort stuff into bags, or whatever the instruction, can't they follow it! Sorting big stuff (bottles etc) out isn't that bad, but having to wrestle open a tightly knotted carrier bag to find it's a mix of tins, jars and stuff we don't take, when you're wearing gloves, is a right pain in the ar*e. And while most people manage to rinse stuff, one kind person yesterday had included a tin still HALF FULL of peas! It's wierd - it's not compulsory to recycle, so you think they must care enough to do it, but they don't care enough to do the simplest things like follow the instructions...
Anyway, it was a nice day, hard work, the hardest physical work I've done for a while, and I'm booked for a couple more days in a fortnight...

@ Waffles
Yay for the egg! If you were holding it while you danced, it's probably whipped by now.
*titter* He said whipped! *snork*
@ Arch
Could you not have added the peas to your lunch? A few extra veggies never hurt anyone...

I may be poor, but I think I draw the line at eating food out of dustbins... An unopened tin perhaps, but not one that was open, and still half full...
What's this about whipped eggs? You don't whip eggs man, you beat them. Whoever heard of a whipped egg?
BTW, was watching Breakfast News this morning and they featured an exhibition of smells (recreated from historical or chemical research), and they had samples, and one of them was supposed to be "a desirable woman from the 17th C" or something and the lady presenter said it wasn't that nice and she reckoned all she needed to do do be desirable was dab the scent of a bacon sandwich on each wrist. And it made me think of the Tea? crowd...
