    Nice damp day here, I have already started cooking.

    Becks not an ideal combination, I am sure that  Jess will get  better soon and you will quickly sort out the maggots.

    Pam lovely flowers.

    Flo I am with you on this one, my dad taught me how to safely chop up wood when I was 11 and how a car engine works. I am the one who sorted out the rats while OH watched from indoorsimage OH is very good with a hoover thoughimage

    I was thinking John Van Dam -Flo-were the drain rods a pressie?

    Dan are you offering-did you sort out the crocosmia bulbs?

    It is no longer a Man's world-time to accept that and embrace the culture-can anyone fix my roof/ceiling-I think I am going to have to attempt this

    Plumber has phoned and will fix the boiler timer this week in case anybody was worrying

    What is a pleb?

    Oh, sorry Geoff, missed your reference - I don't watch films much. I anm thoroughly relieved about your boiler, I haven't been able to settle all morning ;- )

    Kate, my Dad taught me to chop wood too :- ) My OH is good at cooking and window-cloeaning, he has to be asked to hoover.

    And yes,, the drain rods were a present from me to myself.

    No idea, though I think it might be a Latin thing - as in ancient Romans, not Salsa and Rumba.

  • Is it not a word for a policeman then, perhaps in some rustic dialect.

    The man from The Sun said he'd seen the transcript and the word was preceeded by an expletive. I'd have thought the expletive was the more objectionable term.  Perhaps not.

    Geoff so pleased about the boiler, I too have been worrying all night.

    Plebs were originally Roman land owners so I do not know how it is now an insult.

    Flo OH will happily cook but  I wince when I realise some of the less healthy ingredients that go in. I was taught how to light an open fire by my parents and that is one of those usefull skills that stays with you.

    I can imagine-and I missed the call-out on one of my rare trips to the shops

    It seems to have stopped paining-washing machine on -that is a real man's jobimage

    What will your treat youself to next Flo-I bet you have your own drill?

    Yay-I am a pleb it comes from plebian-this is the definition

    "a member of the lower social classes": the feeling was shared by plebeians, gentry, and clergy 


    I feel so proud-I shall start a club

  • kate1123kate1123 Posts: 2,815

    What club, where, membership details? Do I want to be a member of a club that wants me?

  • Good morning all

    Have just been reading Daily mirror article on " Sorry I haven't a clue" radio programme. some little gems from the past.

    Reindeer. - A Michael Winner weather forecast.

    Ovaltine - a fat adolescent.

    Pastiche - What Sean Connery eats in Cornwall.

    Unfettered -. Without Greek cheese.

    The list goes on, made me smile on this horrible morning.image.

    Becks - Hope Jess is feeling better. Maggots in the middle of the night,  sounds like a horror movieimage.

    My OH says he can't cook, I don't think I could stand the mess he would make, he would probably set the kitchen on fire, he is the most untidy worker, but gets the job done. He spends most of his time looking for tools as he has forgotten where he has left them.image

    I think feeling a bit jaded yesterday was due to the flu jab I had on Friday,- yes it's that time again folks,- at least that's what I think.

    Plebs, I like that word, it sounds like it's meaning, if you know what I mean.imageWhat is the requirements to join the club?

    Have a good day, although the weather is dreadful.image

    I am a WOCAOPT of course - woman of a certain age with own power tools.

    I'm a dragon  (as in year of) Kate, I've always loved fires and am especially smug when I get the woodburner going with just one match. I have the Girl Guides to thank for that skill - firelighting, not smugness, before anyone asks.

    Don't get Geoff started on clubs, imagine the T&Cs involved!
