Got through it in the end, some stories rather better than others and all very reminiscent of the valleys back in the 40s, 50s, & 60s.


"Wild Wales" by George Borrow, a victorian nutjob who...

Never heard of Excalibur.

Rather liked Crusade (1999) though it was cut rather short.

You can turn on the mine entries & such like, but I'm sure you've figured that out for yourself. :D

I can't understand some of it, but it's a nice map all the same.

Nope, the hole is whence the water cometh.

It doesn't end well though. :eyes

Yup, they are now.

Most of the boomer's parents are dead.

If you were born before 1946 or after 1964 you ain't a boomer. :smokin

And looking on the the bright side, your bones...

'Tis odd, really, you'd almost suspect some form of corruption, whereas, in reality, it's simple incompetence led from the front (when he can be arsed) by Bozo the clown.

And a good dose of real...

Had something like that on my Fiat Tempra when I'd knocked the wire that goes to the dashboard charge light off when changing the oil & filter.

Didn't notice the lack of charging until it ground...

There was a chap on Moneybox at lunch time who'd had the temerity to ask Admiral if his policy covered his front gate being damaged in a storm.

It didn't.

And they put his renewal up by £300...

Me too, you could smell the games programmers from the other end of the corridor.:smokin

Insurance shock!

The Supreme Court says the robbing bastards have to pay out some money instead of just taking it in.

Due to the lack of hammering etc. next door, I stayed in bed until 09:00 whereupon the wireless started becoming more irritating so I got up.

No current precipitation but it looks like it's thinking about it.

"Lying in State" by Tim Slessor, being a collection of the finest lies emitted by the Establishment, starting with The Dodgy Dossier and the Hutton Report.

The other 0.1% were in the gulag.

Very probably. Being awakened at 06:57 by some scamming **** on the phone didn't exactly help.

The days of Diver etc. are long gone.

At least Diver was inneresting.

Yes. There was a <ping> in the kitchen but I couldn't find out whence it came.

The next day I found the pyrex(tm) jug in the kitchen cupboard had cracked into 3 pieces.

Plus there's all sorts...

STFU Brillo.

Stop polluting every fecking thread with your nonsense.
