    Well, I had vaguely heard of the "your nan" expression but had to google it.

    To be honest, I'm not really any the wiser as to the nuances of its usage, except that it's a vague come-back insult.

    Fury at late-night Hertfordshire Police door knock for bad parking http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-47330804

    Police came round at 1 in the morning over a parking offence. Rather odd. Anyway, it's put Herts on the national news.


    I think I would rather have the trauma than a ticket :)

    Yoghurt prepped this morning ready for tooth removal tomorrow. I think someone mentioned that tepe brushes are expensive, you can get the wisdom ones in home bargains for less than a pound.

    Sending the Tooth Vibes to you Jazee! Hope all goes well and isn't too awful. Cyber hugs from Liverpool.

    PS will send some more Vibes tomorrow too. :)

    Just fulfilled a life long ambition to see the penguins in their natural habitat.

    Galapagos Islands, for the only penguins that live in the Northern Hemisphere?

    They had a couple being PET penguins in a nursing home a couple of weeks ago!

    I was really jealous! The residents were petting them and everything!

    Was it the beach that gets cleared of people just before the birds come ashore for the night?
