    What badge would that be .... The Wonky Drawers Badge - awarded for people who take 20 hours to build a small flatpack set of drawers .... and still have bits left over and the whole lot wobbles?

    The thought of a Wonky Drawers Badge amuses me lots.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Sounds like my nearest station may be on the Crossrail extension route. Glad I already own here!

    How much time will that knock off your journey time into London?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    About 15 minutes to the West End I think.

    For my journey it's not important as I don't work in London, but it's good for people who work there. If it happens that is.

    Oh, you think all the other bits have been removed already?

    Head and tail can be chopped off easily, although apparently keeping the head on makes filleting when cooked even easier. Though personally the head is what reminds me I am eating what was a living thing.

    I like fish, a lot. (eating that is)

    Just had another go at the fabric wardrobe. I figured that the first bit I built/broke was an "extra top bit" and I could still build a basic hanging rail from the rest for now .... well, that didn't go well at all.

    I've broken the plastic frame in two more places trying to fit it together.

    It's a write off now really.

    Take it back, it is designed to be built by DIY enthusiasts. That it failed to stand up to the test is a failing of the design.

    Silver and GDB, as you're around, can you please remind me when Jewish people need laurel. Is it for Hanukkah? The reason I'm asking is that we have a lot of big bushes that need cutting back on the estate where I live. We've been quoted to have them cut back, but if we could let them grow and then offer them to be cut free of charge, then that would be a win/win.

    How squeamish are you? Shudder. I'd go back.

    I rang Mr Spirit to consult him on this important matter. He came over all "hunter gatherer" and assured me he will do this.

    I am expecting minced fish with lethal chopped bones.:)

    I was not at work today but "volunteered" to go in for an afterwork meeting that was expected to be politically difficult and with every chance of me being eaten alive.

    I am home, uneaten but nibbled at the edges.

    Tricky one. It was one of their "one day" offers .... they come round every 2-3 months.... and I picked it up 200 miles away as I was there ..... and I picked it up in late June ... and god knows where the receipt is now.
