I doubt if they would understand the word "tosspot" in the US!

I was struggling to find the right words but you found them!

Thanks for reassuring us that you continue to be prudent in managing Wulferhampton's finances.

I am very tired and anxious today though. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

And it can be used as a lethal projectile if it is still in the tin. These things are important in Wulferhampton.

My mind is not very still though. I wish it were.

It is a bit repetitive for me.

Oh, he should be consulted. I did not know if I had missed any changes over the weekend when I was busy in RL.

Is Spam now Wulferhampton's official reserve currency?

Very well put.

Yes, they get bored with music which people actually enjoy listening to!

I know you are RC, so am I. You told me you were.

Thanks for including me. Recently, I have been left out of a couple of circles. I have been busy in RL though.

Heretic - I thought it was Spudvent - or is Wulf Helm enjoying playing his power games over us again and will refuse to give us our Christmas spud?

I had a girlfriend at school who had grade 8 on the piano and clarinet by the age of 16. She is a composer now of atonal music, after going through a jazz phase. I heard some of her music once, on the internet, and that was my reaction too!

I missed it too. Get well soon.

I did wonder about that. Does he still go to the pub every day, dreaming about West Ham's glory days?

Thanks, I nearly messaged @petersbrooking yesterday because I thought West Ham might beat Liverpool - but they didn't. I hoped he might know what was going on too.

Frenchie? Incroyable! I have missed all the details.

There is only one thing worse than polyrhythmic jazz and that is polyphonic jazz - where you hear the same broken bits of scales, pretending to be tunes, one after another, over and over again.

It is interesting that the O E D's "word of the year" is rage bait." Susie Dent was on TV saying that this applies to words on SM sites which provoke an emotional response - anger, outrage etc - in order to attract people to the accounts of people who get paid to promote a political agenda.

I had terrible head injuries just before I went but I made a friend for life there. I went out for a drink with him on Friday night.

We only see that branch of the family and christenings, weddings and funerals. One branch of that side of the family used to contain an admiral but I think he is dead now!

I went to that college from a comprehensive school in Norwich. I am now feeling a bit nostalgic!

I found out that you can dictate texts when I was texting my wife's posh cousin in London. I made a mistake and said, "bugger." The word appeared in the middle of my text!
