How many times......? They're all posh on here, apart from you, me and Sue......

My monocle fell in my madeira glass at that. If I was posh I’d have a valet who could fish it out for me but I don’t! :mad:

Not posh. Public sector salary. The private sector assumes we spend our long vacations flying across the country in our gold-plated helicopters shooting swans with silver bullets, when in actual fact we’re only ever a few nanometres ahead of the bailiffs at the best of times. :eek:

I'm sure you and FC would despair of my clothes sense - (-:

Being a mere man, I should confess that Mrs Z frequently despairs of my sartorial "sense" which she claims consists of me covering myself in sticky glue and jumping through my wardrobe. :eek:

well I did warn you not to.

I've seen a lot worse:o

edit: for example I don't like this one (I don't object to embrodered garish birdies exactly, but not in rayon and polyester) but would work with wall colour and existing sofa furnishing...http://www.fabricsandpapers.com/item/view/paradiso-curtain-fabric/category/embroidered-fabrics.

so we're all the same after all?

lostinrates

any body who has the same skies as me should go and look at it, its beautiful,

The moon is bright but evasive, like one of those very silver koi fish...are they ghost koi? And the sky its self is sades of grey and furious. It really looks like a fish swimming in stormy water. Stunning. If we ever move I want a window in the ceiling above my bed.

You have the bare faced cheek to deny it?! Blimmin' public sector workers. You'll be claiming that they turned off the Bollinger fountains at the country retreat next.

It's another glorious day in paradise. The sun is shining and it's 17C already (7am). I'm off for a morning of kayaking.

I'd deny it too, but I'm overdue a tea break, & it appears no risk assessment has been carried out...

At severe personal risk to myself, is this a NDG spelling error?:eek:


>>>>runs & hides

No, it isn't.

Strait, as in narrow, navigable channel of water that connects two larger navigable bodies of water.

(edit: for clarity, it is a nautical metaphor, many ports are protected from the gales of the ocean by a narrow channel, the home strait. ).
