I wear a lot of wool. Not set fire to the kitchen for years now. Cats and hens can dispose of evidence: they are thorough but slow. Denizen of #Wulferhampton. In real world North West England. Mostly happy.
Oh! And good morning Ash!
11.10.2025 08:55 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I usually do, but on Saturday I get an actual physical copy.
Get me with my anachronistic lifestyle!
Good morning!
Popped to get a couple of things. So far, I have a brace of partridge, some venison and a copy of the Guardian.
This seems a slightly incongruous shopping bag to me.
I am probably trying to say something of the duality of man
I used to love the brown jelly at the bottom.

Where's me chip?
24 hours on Merseyside last week and I've regressed
I also recall Stiff Peaks.
If that was Mary Berry, she's had a radical change of career.
Although the beating until it was really stiff remains a commonality.
We're they peas of God which passeth all understanding?

Go 'ed!
Give us one!
Well! I wish you'd said earlier!
We lost the pub quiz in the Ficticious Arms thanks to you.
I bet you'll even try to tell me the Elephant-Man wasn't a superhero whose alter ego was a circus performer called Dumbo.
I can, if I notice.
I do worry in case people notice the same shirt, tie, suit combo.
I doubt anyone does.
Oddly, most people don't register details
I wore my 6th form scarf for years. Bought from Ebay my old college scarf: completely different colours.
Lots of people were convinced it was the same one.
Thank you for your help.
I really think we are in with a chance in the pub quiz tonight!
Sometimes, an ambiguous end is best.
It has made me wary of buying striped ties in charity shops, though.
Btw Michael Heseltine famously wore his Guards tie a lot. He was entitled, but it was 9 months National Service.
Just looked them up. Same colours as my primary school!
10.10.2025 20:03 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Too complex for this time on a Friday.
Obvs code for cider has been drunk.
In fairness, I was working till 7 & Mrs Mac opted out of cooking.
I can tell it's affected me: I've been trying to remember who directed Blue Velvet. I knew it wasn't Ken Loach, but that was the only name I could recall.
Oh they do! Sometimes inadvertently.
I remember hearing about a man who bought 3 from charity shop, and was pulled up twice. Once for the Cheltenham Ladies College one, 2nd time for the Royal Flying Corps.
I don't think he dared wear the 3rd.
They would add something to your sandwich, though.
Probably that kukri knife.
You seem terribly proactive this evening: there were gherkin soldiers to riff on.
10.10.2025 19:44 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I know I'm middle-class, but every now and then the origins come through.
Just been to the kitchen. Roasting pan with a skimming of fat* so had to use a slice of bread** to mop it up.
It's another version of goosefat being middle-class dripping, isn't it.
*oil from sun dried tomatoes
** sourdough
Well, I could.
I was just hoping not to die without any newfangled elecktrickery.
Just the normal sacrifices and bathing in the blood of gherkins sort of thing.
A Theoryn, btw, is a compound word: a theory and a Lord of the Rings character.

World Shut Your Mouth!
Mrs Mac is happy.
Susannah Hoffs. Me too.
But ye gods! Nick Berry!
Not so far.
We are all immortal until proved otherwise.
At least that is how I lived from 15 to about 35.
I'm less reckless now, but my mortality is still a theoryn
And you!

Tay in Irish.
But some form of nominative determinism could be suspected.
