    Any golf spectators who shout 'get in the hole' should be firmly ejected from the course

      Especially when the golfer is using an iron off the tee at a 400 yard plus hole.....

    Wonders if 'Twenty Twelve' will achieve complete convergence with the real thing by the time of the final episode.

      More likely vice versa and the real thin will become increasingly like '2012'!

      The RAF have to do something, they might as well entertain the public.

      Swimming pools were a long time ago - and yes, one of the best shows I've seen for ages, but book now in advance to avoid the queues.

      why don't you come up to Saltaire - his works are on display in a nice well lit gallery and there is never a queue. why go to London?

      It's called "continuity' - otherwise every other scene it looks like someone has changed their clothes...

      Which part of east Anglia was covered?

      One of the chaps in the FoD sub-forum on here has told us that he appears at the Dean Forest Railway at some point....

      Yes; their online bills get trapped as spam here.

    Back from the dentist - wary of eating anything in case I bite through my still-numb lower lip.

      I hate the dentist! I had my first filling last year.

      Have you got a food blender / liquidiser handy, Rod?

  21. 10800

    Strange experience to disinter a cat buried in the garden a year ago so that what's left (the larger bones and a bit of fur) can be reburied rather than being chewed up and spat out by the digger coming nect week.

    1. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      Nice! Another one for cremation!

    2. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      I wonder if I should be buried in my own garden....

    Put some additional bars around the bird tables to keep the gulls and woodpigeons off, and removed a load of brambles in preparation for the great garden makeover.

      Rachel de Thame has class! And like a fine wine, it improves with age! ;-)

    Passed a village called Ripple - if you lived there you'd have to call your house 'Raspberry' wouldn't you?

    1. Brinkly

      Brinkly

      That would be quite funny! Would you have to have the 'ripple' paintwork to go with it!?

  24. 10800

    Good day at the Malvern flower show - 3 year plan starts here
