Grey days
The weather has changed overnight. The crisp, just-frozen dew of last night, which sparkled on the grass as we walked over it, has gone, leaving a grey smudge of a day.

A moot point
… how are there going to be ‘British’ embassies to no longer promote whisky? … (whatever name you come up with for the rest of the Disunited Kingdom).
If Nova Caledonia floats away, Britain will be diminished! Britannia’s rump will be……what? Anglia, including West Anglia?
This problem would never have arisen if Victoria’s desire to rename Scotland ‘North Britain’ had been adopted. Britain would now survive any minor pruning by hysterical apostates.
Please submit name suggestions for un-Jocked Britain – there’ll be prizes of course: 1st prize a week in Stirling, 2nd prize 2 weeks in Stirling.
Books, who needs them?
So it’s books, who cares? Reading’s such a bore
My Information comes off the streets
from Facebook, Google, Wiki-p and more
to my hand held phone or simple tweets.
Knowledge they cry, ‘you should read and learn’
But Why? In the twenty first century.
Go green don’t chop down trees or slash and burn
think the future, save our ecology.
Agree that books and paper are finish
so last century, old, so outdated.
A laptop, TV and satellite dish
keep me up to date and educated.
So if your out looking for me
It won’t be Waterstones but HMV!
Carolling the “Isles of Wonder”
My instant new version of “Star of Wonder”
Isle of wonder
Isle of fright
Isle with dignitary blight
Fiscal bleeding
Coe proceeding
Soak us past our present plight.
Actually I prefer a much ruder last line which is more the measure of our glorious leaders’ opinions of the population! (Note apostrophe in correct place)
Treat us as your milch cow shite!
What a nice idea for an article – well done Auntie!
In this year of the Olympics (I’m yawning already and have booked my holiday to Turkey for the first week – and I’m a sports fan!) I was delighted to see this article on the Beeb website and I thought immediately – where would my fellow Charioteers, who all have UK connections, choose?
Read this first and then add your choices!
I’ll start with the Peak District – especially Bakewell and the Monsal Trail. Just for its simple breathtaking beauty.
Clematis and Ladybirds
The clematis buds among last years dead looking twigs herald hope for the Spring.
A Michael Caine moment
As a mere Sassenach I’m hardly qualified to draw conclusions but I wonder if Alex the Braveheart realises how much business his Nova Caledonia stands to lose by cutting itself adrift?
The other day a Tory minister let slip that scotch would no longer be promoted by British embassies worldwide. No doubt Irish whiskeys and bourbon would do instead. And an even deeper cut was revealed today: English people consume more haggis than Scots! Which would certainly cease to be the case if Alex prevailed. We’d resort to tripe and onions, Cornish pasties and Eccles cakes.
So be careful, once more, for what you wish for, you apostates.
Another sonnet for the pomes comp
Its all a load o balderdash! Dyou wish
To keep those pesky commas in mid-air?
How can they influence the price of fish?
If bookshops want to drop them, do I care?
Them Waterstones will still sell books, I smise
Like Boots will do the drugs and Tiffnys jewls?
And Ronald will make burgers, Sainsbrys pies?
Do squiggles in some logos make them fools?
So lets go back to dear old GBS.
He knew a thing or two bout grammar stuff.
Lets rite it ow we say it – dont digress.
Of snobby arty farty crap – enuff!
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
I shall! And sweep that comma clean away!
