PM me some photo's and I'll let you know. Best if the photo's enthusiastically show the full personality.

we all look up at the sky worrying about Amazon delivery drones meanwhile Monsanto are in your cupboards kerplunking patented GM lucky dip all over your foodage

hmmm, think I'll drop this for now as it's not as mundane an injury as first reported

- Ghandi according to the Rev, statistically Ghandi probably had a really small cock

true story! really thought at one time that I was going to take a kicking, but we quickly agreed the rules and they stayed their side and I left them to it it's a while ago, so it might not have been sherbet, but it was a box of sweets of some sort, to be fair it was funny enough for it to instantly be a funny story and kind of chilled me out there and then rather than being the scariest day of my life

I worked in an off license for a short while I was on duty one day, on my own, when the shop got steamed, about a dozen piled in and started taking the stock. One went to come over the counterr, I produced my persuader from under the counter (a hammer basically) and we agreed he'd stay his side and I'd stay mine. Anyway, they left with wine, beer and sweets but no fags or money. About 2 minutes later whilst I'm on the phone to the police I see one come running back around the corner and into the shop. He put a whole box of sweets back on the counter and explained 'none of us like sherbet', then jogged back out of the shop.

ah, Merthyr, what a place - somebody once tried to thieve our roll-a-long staff canteen from outside a building site there once. Plan was only foiled by 3 of us being in it as it began to move off.

oh, I also stole a milkfloat once, ended up leaving it in someone's garden having mounted the pavement and gone through a wall and a hedge more power than I could handle I guess

when I was a kid I used to collect the little packs of soldiers, the ones 10 / 15 mm high Our local toy department in our local department store had boxes and boxes of the things, but all at different prices. I'd spend my Saturday morning finding the box of soldiers I wanted, then finding the price sticker that was lowest and matching them up. I'd get my pack of commandos or japs or whatever and go through all the boxes, 50p, 55p, 60p yay 40p and take the nicest price sticker and stick it on and go and pay for them. It wasn't done out of mischief at first, i was quite brazen about it. It was months before it occurred to me I might be doing something wrong. Didn't stop me though!

Like Villa, too reliant on route one perthaps? Like Villa, lacks decent penetration. Truly relegation form at the moment, we are being bouyed up by the fact that there are teams below us incapable of even the occassional upset. Teams below us get a change of mentality or a lucky buy in January and we are in the shit. Another injury, Guzan out for instance and we are again in the shit. Right now, in all probability we'll likely stay up courtesy of others superior shitness. But that's no way for my Aston Villa to drag its sorry arse through life.

Interesting POV. I've always thought that his decision to change the colors was down to simple superstition, but... I think it's a Malaysian superstition not a Taffy one. I was at a match down in deepest Llanelli today, people there watched the first half (early kick off), then travelled 60 miles over to Cardiff, to pay to get in, to walk out in the 19th minute as part of a protest. Odd way of protesting, paying your money and walking out, but I'm sure they feel they've done what they can.

Swansea are above us in the league, so we will at least try. Saying that, we're at home. So logic says draw. Heart says win.

yep, deffo

there's a dvd of one on the telly right now, which is fair enough as my kids are, er, kids and so should rightly be interested in sci fi popcorn oh, apparently this is Star Trek, not Star Wars, but with Sherlock in it

Since the billionaire owner sacked their first popular manager (Dave Jones), changed the team colours and changed the club badge, crowds have gone up and season ticket sales topped out over 20k. His plan is to have a brand wearing lucky red called the Dragons that he can sell and franchise throughout Malaysia as their foothold in the Premier League. Cardiff, population 350,000 is a vehicle to sell Premier League in Malaysia, population 28,000,000. Tan has made his money several ways, he introduced Mcdonalds into Malaysia, he took over the state lottery and he has various sports and gambling interests. It'll take more than 500 protestors (many in visit Malaysia logo shirts), to convince him he's got it wrong. Be careful what you wish for.

hey darlin' I'm a tractor once I've field you, Ima gonna plough you

just about to go and create the mother of all turkey curries incidentally, the kids have just realised it doesn't have to be Christmas to have the old pigs in blankets and they've already put a request in for Sunday

hmmm couple of good suggestions there chaps, it's something I've moved on to having pretty much done the Jack the Ripper Tour and 'pubs of the Krays' next project for mid 2014 is to have a pint in as many London boozers as I can where Dylan Thomas had a jar

ah, it's all about money and buying stuff, I was sort of basing it on culture, 'my bad' as they say in americaland

no big deal in the end thankfully nowhere near the rain forecast (clear blue sky all day today) fixed a couple of slipped slates with my patent bendy hooks of metal strip system

a very nice book on the architecture of the London underground

I have a 100 year old slate roof. Wind can be problematic.

living on the crest of a hill with sea views rather blustery right now
