Home from work our Juliet, clears the yesterday to spread some blue slate chippings around a flower bed (and discover that 6 bags goes nowhere hnear as far as you'd think), thence to Our Mutual Friend for a couple of pints of cool Elland to lay the dust.

Good news on the new gaff front Syz, I hope you and Mrs Syz will be blissfully happy there  ^Jim, it's weird isn't it? this stuff looks/sounds awfully heavy, sounds like you could cover Nebraska in it, and then you find it'll only go half as far as you wanted! The new humane mole traps are due to arrive today............I'll keep you informed.

Those slate bags're bloody heavy to carry round the garden in 30 degree high humidity too...  < that's sweat, not tears btw
...still £24 for 6 bags isn't bad I guess, and another 6/9 bags should do it.

Jim,
Colin Bean died on the 20th too. He was Private Sponge in Dad's Army. He also happened to have roles in Z Cars, The Liver Birds and a guest role on Are You Being Served?
Molly Sugden was also in The Liver Birds.
So it is a sad year for '70s British comedy, what with the deaths of Wendy Richard and Peter Rogers this year as well.

According to Radio 4 this morning her pussy's hair stood on end whenever a stray dog came close.
When you off to Newfoundland Jim? Not via Airbus I hope.

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

2 weeks Friday (17.7.09) we're off to see the Rideouts.
Thankfully, not an Airbus - Boeing 767-300...

Just tell Mrs S that you're still reading the instruction manual.

Just come across a company called Tokyo Jazz Panda (google it). If that isn't the greatest name for a band ever, I don't know what is.

Ha! I'll see your Tokyo Jazz panda and raise you King F***er Chicken. (Google it) - how rock and roll is that?
Incidentally, while I saw the KFC t shirts in Japan, I never came across any actual music by the band, which I suspect may be an urban myth.

Thanks Alan - a combination of genius and simplicity that should keep me off the hook for a good while yet.

Shock news.
Damon Albarn had the idea for the song "Park Life" whilst in a park.
Who'd have thunk it?

Hmmm - so how did Frank Zappa come up with the idea for Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask?
I'm not sure if I want to know.
