Oh Yes?

I saw a sign in a Primary School window saying, "Get a 100% attendence in March and win a prize."

I was under the impression that it is a legal requirement to attend school, without the aid of blackmail.

All the bestest!

I forgot to wish one and all the very best for the festive season, and sincerely hope that 2009 will be a better year for the majority than this one has been.

The rich won't suffer at all, whatever happens and the rest of us will have to pay more, do more, swear more and buy Plastercine to make voodoo dolls of the world leaders and politicians and Stick Them Pins in!

Let NO-ONE bring out tawdry versions of 'Hallelujah' in 2009!

Old ones are not the best . . .

Due you remember the joke about a man having an operation and asking the surgeon if he could play the piano?  The surgeon said he could, to which the man replied, 'Well, I couldn't before.'  NOT funny, not clever.  BUT obviously lodged in my psyche

I stood on the Labrador's paw this morning, which resulted in him yelping pitifully, and then I asked him if he could play the piano.

For goodness sake, he can do all sorts of things, but play the piano?  I wouldn't be surprised.

Should I be worried about this, or just accept that age is playing a big part in my going downhill fast?

Add a bit more . . .

I pushed the wrong buttons there and so nothing now makes sense.

I did mean to add the word WORKLESSNESS to the list of words just itching to be added to weighty tomes, but went wrong.  I heard the word on the radio uttered by some idiot government minster who couldn't/wouldn't answer a simple question.

I saw a Red Kite hovering and drifting on the thermals (not in its thermals) and probably eyeing up some small squeaky creature which was just going about its business, until it became RK lunch.

Weather or not

Where would we be without the weather?  Honestly, you can't move for all the pictures in the papers of the snow, and it's only November.

We still won't be prepared for The Weather will we?  Snow ploughs will be in for the yearly check-ups right in the middle of the Great Drift of '08.  Rafts will be punctured just when the Huge Thaw happens.  Due to the Enormous Credit Mess-up, no one will have been able to buy a pair of stout rubber boots, and Gordon Brown will be checking on his pension, while the majority of us are eating cabbage, wearing dull headscarves and moaning about 'Babuschka'

Wait a minute!  I hate that song, and look awful in a headscarf, dull or otherwise.  Cabbage?  Ain't bad with a dash of caraway seeds slung across it.

Have we got the Winter Olympics as well?  Thought not.

Today

How about PHILANTHROPIC?

Today I saw rain raining on my washing.  Do I really need this extra rinse?  No, I don't think I do.

By the way, this is being mangled in the HELVETICA font, which has had a film made about it.
