kerrigt vaseline petroleum jelly. Good name for a car that? Or a motor oil?

You lot have been busy! Between rain water, chickens and vaseline, not to mention ovens.

I could attempt to make you jealous by telling you I have a self-cleaning oven (notice: no oven cleaner in my little list!) but I am going to be honest and admit that even a self-cleaning oven requires a little help as they still get bits in. Also mine is ancient and the glass in the door is very hard to clean.

All invitations to BBQs and Christmas sound good to me... oh, look, the garden is turning into a swamp, if it freezes [STRIKE]tonight[/STRIKE] in the winter you can all come and skate on it...

i don't put salt on my food, just black pepper.

No, no, chicken has to have salt. Definitely. Ani and I say so.

Not if you buy pre cooked chickens

I just thought i'd make a note in my diary, as i have'nt forgotten what today is. 15th June 2011.

It would have been my fathers 100th birthday, today, and he would have received his telegraph, from the queen, ( that if its not been abolished through a cost cutting excercise). But i, remembered, anyway, so thats all that matters. I can never remember which year he was born. I guess it was 1911. I can only work it out, from the year he died. It was always fathers day, around his birthday.

That was certainly worth making a note of. 1911... such a different world. My Dad was born just the other side of WW1. Part of me would love to have been alive then, before the world wars and so on but when I think about it they didn't have antibiotics either and it wasn't really a time of peace even if in some ways it was relatively innocent.


P.S. My mum gets her Telegraph but we ain't posh enough to get it from the Queen. Newsagent down the road delivers it.

I'm at it, now. In fact its not a telegraph, is it ? Its a telegram, even.:rotfl:

I don't do broadsheets. Too boring / intellectualy challenging, for me. I personaly prefer a bit of the old tabloids. Pick it up, read a load of carp, have a laugh, and throw it away. :rotfl: Not that i ever pay for newspapers, but i do read quite alot of free ones I like reading the nonsense that is printed, and occasionally a spot of interesting information. You've got to be a teacher / student, to read the guard*an, for instance.

Oooops, that will have all the teachers / students, down on me, like a ton of bricks

I think it probably was a much more innocent time, then. Gone are the olden days when Britain were at war with germany, hey?

I got a job through a Guardian advert, once. It was a very long time ago and I was just out of student-hood myself so perhaps not so surprising.

I would never, ever admit to reading the Telegraph but I get the back copies to use in the rabbit hutch and the rabbits let me have the odd fascinating article and of course the Suduko. I can't do numbers so was very impressed when I accidentally worked out how to do these - and it helps me keep awake when working nights.

Yes, I think pre WW1 was possibly a lot more innocent in a lot of ways. There's no going back, though: the only way through is forward, unless, of course, you're Dr Who. How come he always happens to bump into well known historical figures on his jaunts, yet in my entire life I have met a total of one politician and two authors, seen absolutely no royalty and lost the only famous autograph I ever gathered? And why do aliens always speak English?

Am I going off the subject here?

Aesop

where's your new Avvi Ani?

I have lost all my famous autographs. Lost them a long time ago.

Pat Coombs, she came to switch on the christmas lights at the town where I lived.

The whole of the Carry On team. Couldn't believe how tiny Barbara Windsor is, I was only 12 at the time!

and more, that I can't remember now.

Aliens always speak english as they have universal translators - as we don't know any alien languages....:rotfl:

Hmmm...I'm not sure that there isn't an element of looking backwards with rose tinted specs on regarding past times perhaps?

Regarding Doctor Who, the alien languages get translated via way of the Tardis - that's why the aliens can understand the Doctor and his companions, the Tardis translates that too into what the aliens can understand.... oh my....!!
