Had a call from my lad before. He'd got out of the house and a few hundred yards away when he felt something move in his ruck sack.

Another vote for cats. Most days I’m visited by several feline friends. They like to “help†or just pop round for a bit of company. None of them are actually mine.

 

Cat mechanic’s verdict - “sounds like it’s coming from the top endâ€Â. Curiosity always seem to get the better of this cat and he tends to leave covered in engine oil or building materials. He loves a stroll along the ridge tiles too - a bit like the guide cat in Hale and Pace. Must ask what his name is.

 

I think this one’s called Charlie. He’s a bit of a bruiser. Most cats keep a respectful distance but cat mechanic goads him as he’s a cheeky little fella.

Partners in crime - Tyler and Squeaky. Grey squirrels vandalising your bird feeders? No problem, these two will take care of it. They tend to leave the birds alone too.

Mrs Seth did an energy survey on a local church a few weeks ago. She was writing it up in the office yesterday:

 

"The church contains a large Father Willis organ that was originally hand cranked but is now powered by and electric blower"

Jag has MOT!!!! Just driven it back from the garage in the village. Via Bury St Edmunds. I'd almost forgotten how great 12 cylinders feel.2 pages of advisories but the nice garage chaps promised to put them all right as part of the £2.5k quotation for the bodywork and welding of sills etc.

It is my birthday and someone who knows me very well has given me a bottle of Laphroaig. It made a nice change for my birthday tea along with the Christmas cake, I'm happy now - bad head tomorrow I expect.

Happy birthday. A bottle of that will certainly make it a goodun.Word or warning (although i am sure you already know this), after drinking a skinful of single malt stay away from your computer. I have learnt from experience that what you are trying to type is funnier in your drunken head that it appears on the forum/social networking site/email to ex girlfriends mum.

[pompei]

And stay away from ebay

Happy Birthday.Oh and Mr Imp, thanks again for plugging the nasty gash in my Volvo!!Beers at the do are on me dude!

Can we go back to horses for a sec?Just had a good back-lane journey around Suffolk and on the lanes between Kettlebaston and Monks Eleigh I saw some clippety clops in the distance so being as this was a really narrow lane, I thought I'd pull over into a sugar beet clamp and wait for them to go by. Daddy does his traffic cop impression and holds his hand out to stop me from moving as he trots on. Calls his offspring to follow and as he pulls up alongside me he shouts a lot of upper class noity toity stuff at me. As his voice gathers volume, I see his daughter's horse about 20 yards behind start to gallop. I pointed this out to him and he turns round just in time to see the younger horse collide with his sending his dearly beloved flying off, the upper rear wing of my car actually cushioning her journey to the ground. Horsey-wife starts screaming at Horsey-father and while they shout at each other, I get out and help sobbing daughter up onto her feet. She's fine, just a bit bruised and her boot buckle made a nice dink in my car. Expecting a lot of abuse, all I heard was"Dad you're such an idiot""Brian, when a car stops, you trot ON, you DON'T STOP to tittletattle""Is your car OK? Has my daughter caused any damage? I'm so sorry about my idiotic husband"Justice. I can't find words to describe the crashingly depressed look on Horse-dad's face. He really thought he was something special - now he's a prize twit who's family think so too.As X-factor wafts through the house, I do my best to avoid it; but I have to confess Stacie Solomon looks bloody good in tight leggings.

That's made me smile now. Top work!

The Marx Brothers.I'm going to wheel my collection of their finest films out soon and watch them all again.I honestly can't think of a funnier film scene than when they were selling popcorn outside a baseball ground(?) and the fella next to them was selling lemonade.

Groucho Marx especially. I caught a few repeats of "You Bet Your Life" on the Sky TV Open Access channels and he was fucking hilarious! It's not often a comic game show from 50 years ago can make me laugh. His put-downs would not disgrace a top level comedy store performer in the 21st century.

[pogweasel]

My fave Marx brothers are "Richard" and "Karl".

What about

Sainburys surprisingly..I know it is politically incorect to smoke these days but hey, I'm addicted! Anyway, as a girly menthol smoker my choices in my local corner shop are limited to; Richmond, Sterling, Richmond, Berkley or fucking Richmond. Anyway Sainsburys in Upton are stocking St Moritz menthol for just over £6 for a sexy box of 20 that would not look out of place on the dashboard of a Jensen Interceptor or Iso Griffo. Top marks to Sainsburys!

-10 points for poncey smokes, surely.

 

Any true "shiter" would have a pouch of drum and a pack of green rizla on the dashboard. Or if they are really classy 20 Richmond Superkings.

 

May I nominate Radio 2's Richard Allinson, for no other reason than playing Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Led Zepp's Stairway back to back at about 5 am this morning, made 10 minutes-worth of M6 far less tedious. RESTECP.

Richard Allinson is a top shiter, his daily driver is a 20 year old Merc S class.
