Odd  coincidences at times.

Yesterday I was discussing Harris Tweed as a sideways hijack on a thread of harmanhay 's

Having thought I'd escaped jury duty all week as the phone line kept telling me to not go it, today I had to go along today ( Read more... )

I've been listening with interest to the golly debate on the radio today, and in the press. In the wake of Carol Thatcher's rather stupid comment comparing a tennis player to a gollywog all hell has broken loose.

Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
