I've got to write this before I forget. Oh, life just keeps giving you lines to make everything bearable.
I have been entertaining Malc tonight (he of 'The Edge of Nowhere' fame). Some of you might know him. He's my long-time chum who jacked in journalism to go and raise pigs on the Orkneys.
I love him like the bro I never had - actually, I have a brother but.......
Anyway, Mal Baby (for that is what he is known as to everyone he ever worked with) and I chewed the fat at Pither Towers for a while and then we adjourned to my nearest pub to continue our dissection of life's bitter ironies.
This was when, after the fifth pint, we fell to reminiscing. I coughed to the first lady to have enjoyed the pleasures of Pither's passion but then Malc followed that up with this memorable line:
"I first did IT with XXXXXX.
"She later went off to study zoology at Manchester University!
I had visions of her first day. "So, this is a hamster's penis and this is a man's penis? Are you sure? Only I know this bloke who........"
Bless him. He is my chum. He is a mad pig farmer but he IS the little brother I should always have had. Grantham shall not have him.
To Make You Laugh and Cry
I was listening to this on a Sunday, the very-soon-to-be ex-Mrs Pither is a Catholic, Tom Lehrer is one of my all-time heroes and this is one of his best.............no other reasons.
On a more sombre note (and with thanks to Fish for coming up with this Woman's-Own-passes-the-time-in-the-dentist's-waiting-room nonsense), why not get a computer to tell you that you are a waste of space and your life is a sham of a mockery of a farce? Ok, it's from one of those poxy dating sites but...go on, take the test. You ain't got much to beat!!
Apparently, in my case, "computer say 'no!'"

But did you get him to drink Vodka? I tried to help you there, but I think he caught on.
You guys are both the cat's meow. I am glad you got to clock in some time. Did you convince him to drink vodka, after all??????
I know, I'll make some obscure comment about you posting the article twice, and then you can delete one and make me look like the embarrassing uncle that you never had.
You must be really annoyed about Malc getting there first since you've posted twice about it.
No wonder he moved to Orkney. Better that than suffer your ire.
I think Malc got you back for the penis comment, he told us you were dancing around in a pinny in the kitchen, the thought of which I find highly entertaining. ;)
Hang in there - still sending good thoughts Pad's way.
lovins,
