    I can't listen to the Archers. Too much drama:o

    I really struggled to sleep after visiting Coventry cathedral with school during the first Gulf war. Not sure whether that was a good thing or a bad thing for me but at least it was a one off visit rather than happening again the next day.

    Yeah. I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you ;)

    My cover story is that I put landscaping fabric under the slate and wasnt ready to plant up the beds on Sat so thought I'd cover them in fabric to try to hold back the weeds in the meanwhile.

    :)

    P.s. Austrian beer isn't a patch on Belgian beer :beer:
    I was also going to suggest countries on either side of Austria as in Munich and Ljubljana. Or a Danube cruise?

    Thats such a ridiculous cover story it's almost believable.

    I shall bear that in mind if the coin gods take me that way. :beer:

    I so fervently hope those are secret nuclear missile launch silos under the tarpaulins....

    Or at the very least entrances to an 'Evil Underground Lair'.

    Don't know if there's an evil lair but we do know that house is on a hollowed out volcano. And she seems to have deleted the posts about getting the underground monorail system installed. :eek:

    ...and what ever happened to the orphan children that she forced to build it for her? We should be told.

    And apparently it is only because of auto-correct that her google search history includes 'harness for attaching laser to shark'

    To add, the advert currently on TV for British Heart Foundation is deplorable in my humble opinion as children may well see it. A child's worst fear is that one or more parent will die. This ad is about a father's death.

    That was how I found out about my grandad. Exactly those circumstances. I will never forget that day. I was 7, he was 68 and my favourite person in the world. We buried him two days before Christmas.

    These ads are designed to shock, but if one person adapts their lifestyle to try and prevent heart disease, then it would be worth it. People always think 'never me', but it has to be someone. :(
