    Great news Allie.
    A cider in the fridge sounds great. Perfect for around 7.30 this evening :D
    (not sure about enjoying the weather though - its raining here)

    It (the weather) will be sorted soon Tixy - I've asked the sun to move over and shine above your house all weekend - he said he'd try but apparently the whole country is demanding sunshine at the mo so there might be a slight delay :)

    cider is in the fridge, ice cubes are currently freezing, and my favourite pint pot is washed and ready for action! :p

    ETA: also meant to say thanks Tixy! :o

    Vicious bodyless cat you've got there. I want one to keep people from putting junk through my letter box. I don't want to buy anything, I don't want to switch anything and I don't want saving thank you muchly.

    Important match?? erm, let me see.....
    .......Tixy has a bet on the first scorer and the result, a free bet though so still MSE.;)

    Let's get this right - The Monkey might be innocent but if he went to Hartlepool they would still lynch him as a spy

    Hi All, GeeBee thanks for breakfast, would you like some Roses from handy's garden.

    handysRoses1-1.jpg

    Erme, theres no code, handy is just saying thanks.

    Had a strange sort of day, Lord Hooray says handy is now a proffesional P1zz taker. He's now on Pee bag and guess who gets the job of fitting and emptying. Won't give me a pay rise though.
    seriously poor old booger is a the end of his tether, Lady H is of to a Cocktail party, so the handy's are on duty all evening. She won't take him in case he dribble's. The rich can be callous.

    Tommorow I'm going to Brigadier Booming - Voice's to look at a litter of Fox Red Labrodors. Yup every one is Red Coated. If there are any spare, there may be the pitter pater of tiny paws in the handy household. If all goes well I will post photo tomorrow.

    I'm back off now to see if the Boss needs draining again. Handy gets all the best jobs.

    Respect to you all, handyman.

    Is it the Hartlepool Monkey reference you want explaining Erme?

    If so ............ during the Napoleonic Wars, a French ship was wrecked off Hartlepool and the only survivor was a monkey - the locals thought it was a French spy, so they hanged it!! Hence, when anyone says they are from Hartlepool, we Geordies say they are that bright they hung the Monkey' and if there is anything about a monkey, we say it would be strung up in Hartlepool

    The mascot of Hartlepool football club is H'angus the Monkey and a chap dressed up as H'angus the Monkey was elected Mayor of Hartlepool a few years ago. In fact, the people of Hartlepool were very annoyed that he did not wear his monkey suit when he was on mayoral duties!!

    Now, did that answer your question - or are you more confused than ever????

    Quick bump

    Erme - the sailors of hartlepool (possibly) once hung a monkey they thought was a french spy.
    Paddington is much quieter than a vuvuzela Erme and better at bumping. Though I'm thinking vuvuzela's might make a good trollbusting weapon.

    Hopefully the trolls are watching football this evening as the board may be a little quiet........
