    Sod's law. Started to tip it down. Just got the negligiggle orf over me 'ead (tucking in ears) and the doorbell rings and it's the roofers come to re-seat a dozen or so tiles. Talk about bad timing all round.

    I've seen headlines about people being 'traumatised' at trivial surprises. The poor roofers will probably need long term counselling after seeing that. :D

    You should patent your (the kids) marble run wild edges, make your fortune and then retire.

    That reminds me of the apocryphal tale about the starkers woman caught  protecting her modesty in the cupboard under the stairs by the man who came to read the meter

    Anyone else had it cross their mind that this warm dampness might be just what the Blight spores have been waiting for …? 🙄

    Just cut a stray wisteria strand near the hedge and pulled and pulled.... 7ft later it disentangled itself from a nearby birch tree and I nearly fell over.

    Paxo going from University Challenge. Good luck to the man as he hasn't been well for a while. Who will be next? Boris Johnson would be my recommendation.

    It wouldn't work with Boris.  He would have a different answer to real one and declare that his was correct.
