h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Speaking of the garage, it's a project now finished with the windows replaced in December and yesterday Gordon fitted the new electric socket to replace the old cracked one attached to a shattered piece of wood which the window fitters left dangling from its live wire...

so, do you reckon can I book next year's cruise with my payout? Or just redecorate my lounge?

Oh go for both

just had another phone call...

Oh no! Six months since we moved them all back??? Time to change all the clocks again, an hour less in bedon the plus side, can't think of anything

Was away camping with the Explorers this weekend, so only had one clock to deal with, my camping watch...no wait, there was the car clock when I got back...oh and the central heating clock before I went...

Never mind, it's over now for 6 months

Hey, have you heard about that panda tea to rival Kopi Luwak? (certainly more expensive...)

See now *that's* why I only drink

not Kopi Luwak, I hope ()

Good morning Maestro!

Why would someone say "I'm not on all fours with respect to this article"? What does it mean?

Thanks,

Confused in Cleethorpes

No I didn't understand that either

Glad it's not just me

Ooh, ta and

I've been really good ignoring all the in the shops, as my diet/exercise regime is going so well.

Been a strange day, finally thrown Andrew out and am now emptying his bedroom so I can decorate it and move in there myself.

Nest cleaning?

Yes, unfortunately I am now taking flack from daughter #2.

Still had to deal with Mum's errands today of course, strange how children never notice these things.


I bought some wallpaper and paint to cheer myself up (it hasn't worked).

...my first solo effort since last November

Time to celebrate

Hey we're both on the FP today. I was wondering where my Metronome entry had got to

Definitely time to celebrate <-- my preference

Happy holidays

a joint then

Had a good time this weekend with the first visit of daughter #2 (most of Saturday afternoon) since Andrew moved out, when I went to show her my new bedroom, her reaction was exactly like the one displayed by homeowners to the TV makeovers she said she was expecting to see his bed/settee/bunk and get the Andrew smell. "...but this is really YOU Mommy!"



Then yesterday there was a BBQ (under a hastily-bought gazebo) at Laura's, to celebrate Karl's birthday. I did tell him that I'd arranged a pageant on the Thames for him, but he didn't seem all that interested

Hiya Maestro

Did you perchance to see the Diamond Jubilee Concert in its entirety on Monday night?

No, didn't see any of it. I was otherwise engaged.

OK, then you would't have heard Peter Kay introduce Sir Paul McCartney as "Paul Winston McCartney" then. I can't find any explanation for it
