Sadly the Thirteenth Lord died shamefully...


In bed. But not his own! His son the Fourteenth Lord inherited his, erm... well... shall we say 'drives'. But not his sense of... erm... 'adventure!

How many drives does one man need. :scratch: I would guess there is the Royal Park drive, up to the front porch wotsit, and the Garden drive taking the circuitous route through the hundreds of acres of prime countryside and another drive that passes close to the Ha Ha, but surely three drives is enough.

Any more drives and the postillion rider will get very confuddled, resulting in the risk of being late for Dinner. :unsure:

Unless you count Queen Victoria that is, but the Thirteenth Lord was more, 'inclusive'.

As has been mentioned before I still have the family Groat^ in my purse. The Byegads may have been mad, lewd, and downright obnoxious*, but they were never anything but Yorkshiremen**.

^How much older do you want?
*Present generation is fortunately spared the above being nothing but charm, gentlemanly behaviour and personality.
**That's like a Scot with the stupid spendthrift attitude they tend to display with open handed generosity to one and all completely removed.

I am starting at a new gym by special request of the operators.

A review will be posted on the local page of ferret wearing flat cap breeders gazette.
I did a article on lard lures while haggis hunting it is open season on the 17th the bag limit has dropped for non scotch residents to 3, 7 for the man frock wearers.

That reminds me while chatting to the colonials as they were grumbling about the state of the economy, I did say we my have to take them back again and sort them out, divide the lands up in to principalities sub divided in to lordly manors. They would be aloud to play manly games instead of kiddy games like rounders put some back bone in to them.
There was a significant number of men running around in tartan man frocks and evan a cat stranglers matching band in one of the frequent parades
Though I could not get a plate of haggis turnip n tattys after the parade, I had to eat a Mexican thing like a failed Yorkshire pudding rolled up with every thing stuffed inside.

The total Xmas budget has been worked out.
Xmas cards, as every one I know now sends the written in pencil so they can be reused postage is nil as a totally bogus address is put on the front with a used stamp and the real address put on the back with if not delivered please return to......

The presents nobody bothers opening them now as we all know what is in them, all the stuff some one gave us at Xmas that we don't want or like, over the year I have been given the same parcel three times by different relatives .
I don't drink so will have a trundle around the local streets next bin day getting the carrier bags of tins of cheep Booz left out for the bin lads.


With food nuts ect I will have an inflation busting £11.23 bill I have already told my lad to only pay instalments over the next 8 months as I don't want the local triads men thinking I am well off.

Scrooge, the archetypal Yorkshireman and then tragedy! He caught generosity. I cry every time I think about it.

Good story crap ending!
The blackadder version is better, the rich don't get rich by following the rules, being nice and giving monye away.

When a welmeninig minion in a cubical near to me put tinsel around the base of his monitor, he was told to remove it, as some one might object to Xmas decorations being put up in the office, "We can not have anything in or around your desk that may offend any other worker".
I did suggest he drape it around his shoulders but was imedeatly informed it would breach the dres code as some one might find it efencive for instance a t shirt with a slogan on it might.

I am wearing my Rudolf the rain dear with flashing red nose tye on Thursday and have asked any one thet would like to trim up my wheelchair as nasty/tacky as the like with flashing lights the works they are welcome. I still think it is a lode of rubbish but I hate hippocresy. We still get the email every year asking staf not to eat any thing in front of staf fasting at Ramadan.

There is a very very sad plastic tree in reception with a notice on it "winter festivitys decorations sponcerd" it then goes on to give the name of the firm paying out for it.

What tearable world in which we live. It's all feed and greed. Surely how could we have forgotten the true meaning of Xmas. To clarify:

There's this obese bearded guy living at the North Pole with loads of elves making toys. Then every year he gets some reindeer, flies around the world and climbs down chimneys.

If you don't believe that you must be a terrible cinic. I know of a fellow who didn't believe and woke up one morning as a giant insect.
