It's worth dialling their number just to listen to their telephone message.

Correction - it's probably only worth dialling if you get free calls and don't value a minute of your time too highly.

Unfortunately Johnny Vegas no longer is the voice auto operator chappie for St Helens Rugby League Club.

Do you have any memory left for apps, though?

I didn't know Netto still operated. Weren't they bought by ASDA a while ago?

Just spotted your signature. Percy Jr. on the way, woohoo! Congrats!
If you need help with names, let us know.

I'm both excited and slightly nervous for tomorrow....Josh, the one known for drumming, is singing at the chamber concert.

That might seem weird to others but singing was his original instrument, he won competitions for it but then he discovered drumming and how it calmed him down, then lost his confidence and wanted to just hide behind the drum kit. Now, his confidence is growing and he doesn't want to hide so much anymore.

I've decided to hang curtains on our lean to thingy outside. Nuts, when I haven't got curtains sorted inside, but I think it will reduce flies inside. I'm sure I can pull together enough odd white curtains or even old sheets to pull over the porch to leave the doors open all summer.

I tend to get bees in my house if I leave doors open (only bumbles), luckily I quite like them, the wife on the otherhand is rather scared by them.

I do remember once when a queen bee found it way into my bathroom (though the vent I guess) as it was the time of the year the new queens are looking for homes.

As amusing to get home and find the wife saying there is something scary in the bathroom, to which all I could get was it was big and flying.

Got my trusty capturing tub and card and went in the bathroom to find nothing, after moving a few things I found I had a buzzing towel. From there it started flying around for about 5 minutes just circling me to which I though it was great with a positive ID as a red tailed bumble queen.

Eventualy it calmed down and I managed to capture it and have a good look before releasing it.

And more importantly the wife got to use the toilet.

Don't mind bees at all. Nor wasps really. But on farms and small holdings you can get plagues of flies, and that's horrid and makes lots of work. I'm fed of of cleaning fly pop of the walls for hours every day so would like to minimise impact, and would like to have doors open more in the kitchen when I cook.

I need to remember to ask fir to remind me to eat breakfast tomorrow and am hoping typing here helps me do that.

Thank you.

Edit/ duh....could just email. Twit.

Emailed, and eaten a vat of chicken soup. No fainting here. No siree. On the other hand, I'd sink if I fell in a body of water I'm so full of soup.
