I also recall something being said about needing to go to get fabric for curtains and cushions and "I'll need your help in deciding" being mentioned late last night. Like I'm going to be listened to. shrugs:
Any advice on how to cope with the ensuing argument. I suspect the earplugs that I was helpfully advised to buy for my shoes problem may be of use

WTF is a Cyprus Poodle? Surely poodles are the same the world over, nasty, poncy yappy dogs with funny hair cuts. The only variances are in Colour (Black, White or Chocolate) and size (Minature, Standard and fvcking huge). Photgraphic evidence is required here BM

Well the one with the "lady" is indeed a poodle. Originally bred as hunting dogs by the French (who else) I suppose they are properly known as "French Poodles". The other little scruff looks far more like some sort of cross breed to me but I do like the Bonio tag on the collar ... may I have one please?

Right said Fred
Both of us together
One each end and steady as we go
Tried to shift it
Couldn't even lift it
We was getting nowhere
And so
We
Had a cup of tea and
Right said Fred
Give a shout to Charlie
Up comes Charlie from the floor below
After straining
Heaving and complaining
We was getting nowhere
And so
We
Had a cup of tea and
Charlie had a think and he thought we ought
To take off all the handles
And the things wot held the candles
But it did no good
Well I never thought it would
Oh
Right said Fred
Have to take the feet off
To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo
Took its feet off
Even took the seat off
Should have got us somewhere but no!
So Fred said let's have another cup of tea
And we said
Right-o
Oh
Right said Fred
Have to take the door off
Need more space to shift the so-and-so
Had bad twinges
Taking off the hinges
And it got us nowhere
And so
We
Had a cup of tea and
Right said Fred
Have to take the wall down
That there wall is gonna have to go
Took the wall down
Even with it all down
We was getting nowhere
And so
We
Had a cup of tea and
Charlie had a think and he said look Fred
I've got a sort of feeling
If we remove the ceiling
With a rope or two
We could drop the blighter through
Oh
Right said Fred
Climbing up a ladder
With his crowbar gave a mighty blow
Was he in trouble
Half a ton of rubble
Landed on the top of his dome!
So Charlie and me had another cup of tea
And then we
Went home

Incensed by Mrs Nick waking me at 7.30 this morning reeling off a list of jobs that she had to do and how busy she was I decided to make a list of jobs: his and hers
By 10.30 I had done 80% of mine.
She had had a shower and had breakfast. THREE HOURS!!
I then pointed out that if she was to get her car to the garage it would be advisable to get there while they are still open!

NO! You should have told the insurance company to piss off, and take it to a body repair shop elsewhere.

Mrs TMR and I have joined the pub's "Tipster" competition where you choose a horse in the races shown on C4 or the Beeb - normally seven races.£5 a week, winner takes the pot, usually about £125. You get five points for first, three for second and one for third. Mrs TMR (to be) has chosen six of the same horses as the "champion tipster". Out of seven races. Eeek!
No shopping, we will do that tomorrow as Thruxton looks like it will be a soggy affair, so sod it.

Done the shopping (table lamps of all things), done the farm shop, done Morrisons (a shame the farm shop doesn't do soap powder and conditioner). Relax for a couple of hours, "petticoat management" permitting of course, then Quins live on the box. I would normally go to watch but I'm sure that five hours in an open stadium won't exactly do much for recovering properly from flu

Glorious weather here in Surrey, lawn mowed and my own hair cut too (don't get jealous Barman). Mrs TMR (to be) and I have picked our six horses for the tipster competition and are now enjoying a relaxing drink, watching the Chels beat the Mancs.
Why is it that as soon as we get a decent day, everybody seems happier?

Whilst mowing the lawn, I also murdered about 20 of those foreign ladybirds that are invading. So I have done my bit for the preservation of the British ecosystem.
Did you hear about the rabid dog in Essex? (No joke)
-
Yup!
Mind it was a puppy imported from Sri Lanka and held in quarantine kennels in Chingford since April 17th.
More telling I feel is that it and several other pups (which have also been destroyed now) had been imported by a "Rescue Charity". Why can't these bunny hugging do gooders leave well alone?
-
I think NuLabour purposely imported the dog and made sure it bit people. It will subsequently transpire that there "may" be other dogs, outside quarantine afftected. Mass panic will ensue and eventually it will all blow over.
In the meantime, of course, it will distract the attention away from the collapsing economy, possible fuel shortages, teachers strikes, loss of the 10p tax rate, I'd cards, increasing repossessions, increasing personal bankruptcies/IVAs, immigration chaos, loss of law and order, the ugliness of Gordon Strachan, Hazel Blears and Harriet Harperson, the price of eggs and the failure all aspects of the education system.
And they can then continue to fvck us all over before the next crisis comes along.

The big race at Sandown up next - I've gone for an each way on Caribou, but I don't think that was too clever a bet...

You might consider Endless Luck in the 4.30.

'Course you don't have to listen to me
But it is the only horse he has running at Sandown today and it is a 500 mile round trip from his stables in North Yorkshire. Seems a lot of trouble and expense unless.......................... whistle:
Oh ~ and he (Mark Johnson) was at school with Mrs S#2 ~ she remembers him as a canny b@st@rd who was always soliciting pocket money from his classmates and bunking off to the bookies in the High Street. Nick Nairn (Chef) was also in that class as was Tennis Player Andy Murray's mother and Michael Farraday's grandson.

The same is true of the 5.20 at Ripon - Maha Dubai, with R Hills on board...
Hmmm...
-
rubschin: He has two running in that race at Ripon. It is clearly a run out for one and a winner for the other but which is supporting which?
Now stop it! I gave up doing the gee-gees when I retired. The pension can't take the losses.
Think you are right though. Richard Hills doesn't ride donkeys does he?

3.20 at Sandown won by a 25-1 French horse with French horses in second, third and fourth? WTF is going on there?

True. Fingers crossed.

Big disappointment at the Leeds show last night. Samantha didn't show up at all.
Humph was on the point of introducing her when John Naismith rushed on with a note from Samantha in which she said that she'd been making friends with the Yorkshire horse racing fraternity and one of the trainers had agreed to let her have a go as a jockey.
He was entering her at Wetherby last night!

I have decided to devote tonight to hot toddies; family visit out of town is postponed since they don't want no snivelling specimen of man flu infecting their home or GCSE taking offspring eeek:
Expect further postings over the Bank Holiday to be slightly surreal albeit infrequent. Can someone tell that Wan Ki Moon that I need some high energy biscuits too?

"Fervent Prince" at the 4.10 at Haydock has paid for the beer and a chinese at Wing Yip. Mrs TMR(to be) is throwing money at "Boychuck" in the 7.50 at Stratford. Women, eh...

This Saturday I shall mostly be in the garden seeing as those jobs didn't get done last week. What Mrs JOM thought was:
WE could have a new border there
WE could remove that dead tree
WE could remove those nettles down in the corner
WE could have a nice area in that corner so we can sit out in the evening sun
WE can get some nice terracotta pots and plants to go on a new plant stand I've seen
So while WE are doing the top four, Mrs JOM will no doubt be attending to the onerous fifth task
We've a lot to get done before 1430hr's when Leeds vs Wigan is on. Sods law states that if I do get a call-out it will be between 1430 and 1700hr's cry:

Anyway, border done, dead tree done, nettles removed, the nice area in the corner done (by Mrs Jom), just leaves the pots and stand tomorrow..... oh, and the rugby of course. She was right about the nice area in the corner too, ham sarnies and white wine went down a treat, nice end to a productive day. A shame Wigan didn't turn the tykes over though

Particularly when your ninth in a league of twelve, you play the current league leaders/league holders/world club champions and beat them. Five weeks ago they were singing "Thats why we're champions" at the endwhen they knocked us out of the cup. Oh what joy to sing "top of the league, you're having a laugh" to them this evening. I shouted/cheered myself hoarse, Spitfire doesn't taste the same after throat pastilles though

This Saturday, I shall mostly be pottering around the garden, watching last nights and todays rugby league and union, and doing my best to win a few bits and pieces on e-bay... but not necessarily in that order lol:
(Being on stand-by pays well, but it does restrict plans)
-
I have bitten a sizeable chunk off the side of my tongue - eating is painful.
Young's soothes.
-
I have bitten a sizeable chunk off the side of my tongue - eating is painful.
Why? shrugs:
-
Because, dear Barman, it is. Most of the things I eat have a heavy dose of chile on them, thus the pain.
Nobber!

;D
Shouldn't that be knobber? rubschin:
-
I have bitten a sizeable chunk off the side of my tongue - eating is painful.
Why? shrugs:
Surely the question ought to be How?
Tho' I grant that even How? is open to heavy sarcasm when it comes to replies.
Perhaps if we offered sympathy and asked "How on earth did you come to do that old chap?" he might be a little more forthcoming.
-
Only in Cyprus.
:-)
-
I'm intrigued, if not a tad scared2:
Has TMR been watching too much Hannibal Lecter?
-
Perhaps a motor cycle fall, a hasty munch at a tasty morsel, a punch in the mouth from Mrs TMR (To be), eating after a visit to and local anesthetic from the dentist, one of those accidents that befall us all from time to time and defy explanation. Could be anything really.
-
Washing! evil:
-
Nothing so radical. Just an age thing, I guess - chewing on a lovely bit of grilled lamb, I somehow managed to chomp a lump of my tongue off. Nurse Mrs TMR(to be) looked on in horror as a fair gush of claret issued forth.
She then, after I revived her, forced me to drink some 16 year old Bushmills to kill the pain and clean the wound.
I have only managed to eat an omelette today as a result - the usual chicken phall was not an option.
-
Nothing much doing today. Except the Welsh Witch's 50th birthday part later. I have heard rumours of a free bar...
-
Wish her Happy Birthday from me lol:
-
Tesco, washing, read the Torygraph, and a BBQ Birthday party with a brassy blonde this evening eyes:
-
Will do. The free beer is, I believe, London Pride. Shame!

The Teenage Hormone Wrecjk is on work experience for the next two weeks. This morning with 48 hours to go before I am due to deliver her to her place of employment she and her mother have decided that she has nothing suitable to wear Banghead
Minor is at Cub Camp so I am looking after Minimus whilst the wimmin go shopping .... I have not therefore even got my morning paper yet as they said they would be a hour at most and would bring the paper back with them. That was three hours ago cussing:
-
Quite typical. What sort of "work" will she be doing?
-
In keeping with her longer term ambitions she is spending two weeks as a gofer to the County Archaeologist. This will involve some office work, some cataloguing, a day or two manning an exhibition stand and visits to a number of sites. All in all a good intro to the work that she wishes to do when she finishes Uni.
Her careers co-ordinator at school is livid that she has landed such a position (having previously deemed it to be impossible) and was even more miffed to discover two days ago when she summoned the child to interrogate her about what she would be doing and instructed her to telephone the County Personnel Dept to confirm matters that the THW direct dialled the County Archaeologist from her mobile and said "Hi Fiona, its me, can you confirm to Miss XXXXX that we are all set for next week." Said teacher then discovered that daughter is a member of the Young Archaeologists Club run by the aforementioned Fiona and has been booked by her to deliver a talk on and give a demonstration of Medieval Braiding Techniques. "What do you know about that subject?" she sneered. "Well" said THW "Actually quite a lot" and pulled from her bag a book on the subject "This was written by my God Mother, I helped her with the research ~ we made a lot of the braids used in the costumes by the Globe Theatre company during their last season"
THW reports that teacher then dismissed her from the room without another word. As the dear child put it so sweetly "It's really rather fun to be able to say 'Bollocks' to a teacher and know there is nothing she can do about it"
-
Excellent stuff!! happy088 happ096

I was rather proud of her.
-
Fisr free pint of London Pride being supped...
-
cussing: I want one too
-
Oh my head noooo:

Ditto!
-
Remind me never to drink red plonk again noooo:

Found the Pride a little bit sweet, could just be me though.
Didn't do gym this morning, settled for a breakfast instead.
-
It wasn't the best Pride - good for constipation though.
-
Not a Pride to be proud of then? noooo:

No. Glad I didn't have as many as TMR.

Some friends from London have been here for a few days.
The first time they visited (5 years ago) their car blew up as they arrived outside the house. It was the BANG which heralded their arrival.
On their second visit they came by train. A gale that weekend brought down the West Coast Rail lines and they were stuck here for an extra day.
I took them to Runcrn station earlier.Total power failure for an unspecified period.
They are visitng again in October. What can possibly go wrong?

We drove South of here and into England yesterday. Went down to Wroxeter and thence Ironbridge ~ drove back via a lengthy route involving Herefordshire. First times this year I have felt that it was really August. Wife commented the same thing. We actually saw and smelled the harvesters at work. It was like the Augusts of my childhood in Hampshire. Nothing like that in this part of Wales ~ just bloody sheep and grass.
Ah well ~ soon by half term and I can get my annual dose of Hants and Dorset air for a week as we are back to the same farm cottage near Bridport.

That spider.I was going to comment that the whole thing felt very "French".
Then I read this
There was some disappointment earlier on Saturday when crowds turned up outside the Cunard building expecting a show which never materialised.
Spider to reawaken
Nicky Webb, a director of Artichoke - the company producing the show - blamed the mix-up on cultural differences and said the French artists never intended to stick to a schedule.
She said: "For them the story is a piece of magic. They want the spontaneity of things not running according to our British clockwork... it doesn't work like that with a show like this."
Of course, of course char048

Have you been to Snowshill Manor? Extraordinary collection of exotic stuff there... rubschin:
Last time I was at Snowshill Manor was two years ago. It was a baking hot day and as it was a terraced garden on a steep hillside I remember being totally s*****d out when we got back to the top. I've never ventured into the house as we usually take a long time around gardens leaving little time to venture inside
We never got up that way today either. We called in at Littlecote House and spent a bit longer than expected there. Lechlade on Thames was as far as we got, but an early evening meal was enjoyed rather than late lunch. I'm sat here now knowing that I'll probably get the munchies just after ten tonight, just as the supermarkets close
-
Today I shall be mostly lying in the sun, drinkin beer, swimming and reading.
And hopefully winning on the Gold Cup at Ayr.

I've always suspected that section of wall in the hall kept secrets, sounded like plasterboard, not masonry. Today's the day with the help of handy Andy (Prince among chippies) we ventured into a century old hidden space scared2:
I have to concentrate when conversing with handy Andy because he sounds just like Dud as in Pete & Dud, and it wouldn't take much for me to start taking doing an E.L. Whisty...
"I'm wondering, Andy, that if you remove that supporting strut it could be significantly detrimental... the wall might collapse, and with it, the rest of the building, shortly followed by the end of civilisation as we know it..."
"Yes. That'd be awkward, it being a Saturday 'n' all... " eeek:
Fortunately all is well and by tea time he has the best part of a cupboard carcass in place, doors to arrive next week and complete repainting of the hall next weekend.
Meanwhile... it looks like a building site... "I'll cover those marks with stain fix... they won't come through when we paint next weekend."

Today, I shall mostly be watching Leeds play Warrington in the Challenge Cup final. It should appeal to Darwin, 34 Northeners knocking crap out of each other live on TV ;D
-
I have to be honest JOM ~ The longer Rugby League goes on the more like Professional Wrestling it gets. Union ~ that's the game for real men.
Nobody ever gets hurt in League ~ No real scrums, no hard tackles. Just tap the man and he rolls over. They have legislated the fight out of it.
-
It's a debate that has gone on for many years by fans of both codes Snoopy and one that will go on for ever it seems.
I see them as two different games, and appreciate the different qualities in both. I prefer an uncontested scrum to two minutes of resetting the scrum each time it collapses, and seeing quick movement of the playersand ball all the time, but I also appreciate the greater power of the RU players
For gawd sake turn the volume off

-
cloud9: As somebody that has watched the game from seven years old I would still prefer that it wasn't a summer game. Summer brings harder and faster pitches and a far quicker game, but there's no better sight than somebody diving for the line 6 yards out and sliding over with a plume of water spreading before him
Fortunately, summer rugby starts in February and continues to mid-October, so there's still a few "mud and thunder games" on show each season ;D
