We have the grand kids
Apparently they needed to go to Greggs for lunch
anyway I was just paying and the 3 of them were right next to me
and the woman (old - well - older than me) started telling the youngest that he was going straight to bed when he gets home
she repeated "straight ot bed"
no idea why - they were not causing any problem and were right next to me - so not running around or anything
and she didn;t look at me even once that I saw
certainly never talked to me to say they had done something wrong
The eldest (13) was at the back and she said she saw nothing wrong and had no idea what the woman was going on about
Honestly!!!
I mean - they were obviously with me - so even talking to them in that way was just not acceptable!

But the important think is
do the dogs like him (without there being food involved)
and how often does he change his underpants!!!
Is that the low cholesterol option?

Hes allergic to dogs. He comes round ours and his eyes are swollen almost shut, but he just politely dismisses it with a wave.
Im pretty sure my also wont have seen his underpants yet, and will not until theyre married. If he knows what's good for his knees anyway.

Dorset, a bit further south ( It's on the outskirts of Poole, and abuts Upton which is a different district council )

Probably unusual. Many households seemingly cannot run without the TV or radio on.
Our TV goes on to watch specific content only. Radio/hi-fi goes on only when the mood arises.
Other than the above; peace reigns.

My virgin broadband has been crap for the last few days only getting 50mbps.
A while earlier lost it all so phoned them up and spoke to a guy in India, he wants to
send someone round tomorrow to check it all out.......
I just hope he's not coming from India too or it won't be tomorrow !!!

I have never understood this......how do you know what speed your broadband is running at ? (if that's the correct phrase).
