    Insults. But with some class...

    Not sure about the class aspect, but I quite like the "you're as useful as a hemorrhoid and your presence is just as painful" one... Bill Bailey had a great line, he was referring to modern celebrities being thick and how we catch passive stupid off them etc, he used the line "they're...

    Insults. But with some class...

    As above, I do swear, I just wish I didn't, purely because sometimes it can come more naturally than company would prefer, so I do my best to stem it. I think if it this way, if you swear in company, or in public, they'll either not bat an eyelid, or they'll find it uncomfortable....if you...

    Digital Documentation.

    Most stuff is digital or saved online anyway, but if you want an additional back up then I'd also consider making sure you have your monthly bills documented, especially if you don't pay via direct debit... Council tax, utilities etc... these are the morons you'll spend HOURS on the phone to as...

    What did you buy today?

    Fat lot of good that did me.... Lit a fire on the beach the other day and was wearing my down jacket, left the padded jacket behind... burnt a hole in the jacket. I was walking around for a good 10 mins wondering why there were feathers flying around everywhere before I realised...

    Community Garden Vandalism

    I'm glad there are many that are more open than I am, but I've seen a few wolves in sheeps clothing and it's made me cautious enough to be wary of what people portray. I genuinely believe she has done a good thing and that she always started with good things in mind, she worked very hard. As for...

    Fire side snifters

    Not by the fire tonight, but it's been a long few weeks and I decided I fancied a small drink, opened the cupboard and was greeted by an opened Aberlour 12yr single malt... I think I recall now, but for the last 30 mins or so I've been racking my brains trying to remember where it came from/when...

    Community Garden Vandalism

    This is all very true, but equally, we have very real examples of donations being poorly allocated (morally speaking) in past calls for help and support. It's not to say that is the case here, but being cautious isn't a bad thing. But as the other old adage goes, "if you dont watch the news...

    A little bit of advice

    With the above as the forerunning thought, I'd also have a little consideration to the the amount paid originally. Given you state you used it once, it's new as well (yes?), so if it was a costly purchase 20-25% could be quite a significant amount. I would also check if there are any second...

    The Grey - Liam Neeson

    I recall I somewhat liked and disliked the movie... the story within the story etc was v good, but if I recall correctly the wolves were silly big and there was obviously some hollywood liberties with nature behaviour. But it's been a while...

    Community Garden Vandalism

    I think the only bit you missed was where he was hired by the local greengrocer... Oh on the signing front of things, crossing your fingers isn't a good sign in Vietnam, it supposedly represents female private parts....

    Community Garden Vandalism

    Between vandalism, salting the earth, rabbis, archers and the english language, I'm left totally confused... Think I'll go and salt some earth... or was that the bad thing?

    Community Garden Vandalism

    I suppose there is a hercule poirot to this whereby she, a generous charitable person was running low on time, energy, money, recognition to continue, so sabotaged her own spot in order to gain public sympathy and donations so that she could continue on a larger scale. Twiddles moustache...
