Went to Oakham today in Englands smallest county, Rutland. Pure Anglo Saxon place it is. Had to watch daughter do parading up and down the street in her RAF gear. She had a big gun with a spear on it. Not sure if either was real. Army there too, but they wouldnt let them have a gun. Would be pointless anyway, they looked like they would all jump if something went bang.  Luckily I didnt have to go in the church, think it was full of uniforms. Handy pub opposite, very old peeps in there mainly eating roast dinner. Looked crap and didnt help when one old dear put her cheesecake on her dinner plate, still had one roast spud and gravy on it.  We had dinner in Wetherspoons, steak and kidney pudding. 3/10 but the beer was cheap. Nice weather and Oakham was a nice place, very English. 

Jet set life style,   cheese cake  

Wear

Yeah, I was wearing my poppy. Now we are coming out of Europe its no longer embarassing.

Costco this morning then ?

On route to London ,job to start in Clapham x

Young Ross is staying with us while his parents skive off to Florida, he just came in from school and told us he has a job with Mcdonalds, he can buy his own ale now 

I despair of today's youth. Just saw a dizzy blonde on "Tipping Point" get asked the question, "In 1841 who organised the first package holiday and the company is still going today?" "British Airways" she says. FFS! Obviously she doesn't know about Orville and Wilbur Wright either then!

FFS!! Everyone knows it was called British Caledonian then

I was hanging a shower door. Complete bassa. The wall tiles were porcelain. Hardest substance known to man to try and drill through.

Put a bit of duct tape on first to stop the drill sliding all over the tile...today's top tip.

Yep, duct tape first, then tap the spot you want with a steel nail. You also need a diamond tip drill bit for porcelain tiles

Awesome DIY tips Dermo!

Gorilla grip, feck them screws

Phone call at 4.30 from neighbours son, can i pop round and see why she wasnt answering the phone,
deceased on the sofa thats why, I could have done without seeing her like that,
Hazel was 79 and she always called me her 4th son We had a good natter at the weekend while she got some leaves up. I blew them back with my blower, she lobbed her rake at me laughing,
I hung about in the house until her lads turned up we then had a group hug and i left them to it
I believe Dibble has to come first being a sudden death, 24 years next to her and pete

Thats sad but its not a bad way to go, in your own home and quick.

Layed on the sofa watching tv by the looks of it, daughter in law was the first to arrive,
i said you really dont want to go in there, but no in she went then began screaming the house down
then she rang hubby who is driving as fast as he can and started screaming down the phone at hiim,
I said sit there dont move until they all get here,i know she was in shock but shut the feck up,

Our neighbour over the way has had cancer for a couple of years. Shook of this mortal coil on Saturday. I was going to work this morning about 06.45am and saw Andy walking the dog, "How's Kate" I asked. "She died early hours on Saturday morning" he said. Felt terrible, but I didn't know.

Met some people for xmas dinner in Tenerife, breezed in like you do and spots this lass i met a few times on her own, Hey up where your fella have you dumped him at last
another person said he died a few months back, no fecker told me either,
Now it gets interesting, i went to the carsie and she followed me, the others thought she was going to say sorry you should have been told, but no, she grabbed my privates and said when your ready, feck me i wasnt expecting that, i can understand it but i wasnt expecting it there and then,

anyway i let her calm down over dinner then had her over the christmas pudding Messy

There is a research project in the UCD school of medicine going on at the moment ( might be Trinity ). They are working on a way to "highlight" the cancerous cells and the treatments can be targeted directly at these cells as opposed to the way chemo hits the whole body at the moment. The oncology professor in charge ( he's also a senator ) reckons 15 to 20 years, cancer will be manageable ( maybe not curable) and patients should have a virtually normal life span with none of the side effects of current treatments
