Morning Lambie Pies

Making friends. Nice one.

Reminds me of a delightful 9 year old on holiday recently. An only child, like myself, she latched on to every kid around that pool and on the beach, regardless of age, colour or creed.

My hubby thought it odd. I pointed out that as an only child, its a case of make friends or be lonely.

She truly was a delight to observe, and we shared a few shandy's with her parents over various evenings too.

That little 9 year old girl could teach the grown up numpties of this weird world a thing or three!

Have a good day. See you at 5.05.

I Agree. it just dosen;t seem worth it does it? But democracy is a wonderful thing ....... and we want everyone to try it, a bit like your mum trying to encourage you to eat your greens when you were little, but she didn't give up.... did she?

Well said Christoph!

Wall to wall here again, gentle breeze, long may it last.

Sometimes, CLP, it sounds simple cos it is!

Trouble is, there are so many ulterior motives for governments to behave the way they do, I don't think acting in the best interests of the majority counts for much - maybe I'm too cynical.

Anyway, enjoy the peace, the freedom and the sunshine everyone!

...ah, Christophe, I heard this on the news earlier...and the great Gordie has chucked two Iranians out of their embassy here...tit for tat.

My dad's bigger than your dad.

Makes me sick. Get the boys out, then my cousin won't have to keep going back there and frightening the living daylights out of my Aunt and Uncle.

Anyhoo, Chez, there were kids like that where we were too...fair warms the cockles it does, to see these little mites, who can't even understand each other, getting on so well...

My mate Deej got some fitflops last year, now she has thighs like Geoff Capes. Nuff said.

I think I must be being Cinnamon Spice today...mainly cuz I'm all lovely and brown and very VEry tasty...and smelling turtley edible dah-link...also cinnamon is a bark, which is def worse than my bite...

Hi CLP and fellow bloggers

I don't know that i agree with you Chris... you see if you spot a child being really naughty... is it right not to invervene and leave them to continue with their erroneous ways... or try and put them on the right track... perhaps this is a simplistic view but i do feel we should always try and show the right way even if no notice is taken... at least an effort has been made!

Ju xx

Absolutely Christoff. It's that simple.

The problem is-and I refer to my previous missive- is that the people who hold the reins seem to be intent upon steering round the houses to justify the fare. Seems they all need moral SatNav.

However. Hindsight is a marvellous thing, and whereas I abhor war and aggression in any form, the said stupid man had us all believing he had his finger on the button, and gave old Dubya the excuse he needed to play Rawhide and resolve some old tribal issues. And that's where it all went wrong.

I just get enormously frustrated that the people at the epicentre seem unable to learn lessons. Mistakes get made; it's the sign of superior intelligence that you learn from them and move on. But we've allowed the people in power to focus on blame, or more accurately, how to deflect it. As much as I've been loving all this s***e hitting he fan over the expenses of the politicians, we SO need to move on now and re-focus on what's urgent. Which is that people the world over are suffering.

After all, it's projecting problems elsewhere, not listening and being wrongly focussed that brought about 9/11 in the first place.

So there. If only everybody in the world knew EVERYthing like I do.

Hm.

Morning all - hot sunny and I wish I was somewhere else!!!

Ah well - totally agree Christoph - waste of space really.

LaLove - I heard about those fitflops expanding a few muscles !!! (and I don't think anybody voted did they)?

Saying that woo hoo!!! my pink flip flops just arrived!!

Hi Chris

Totally agree with you, you can't help those that don't want to be helped.

If we're there to help the oppressed why don't we go into Zimbabwe? Easy they haven't got oil!

Have good one all, cleaning the house like a mad person ready for the off. What's the weather going to be like in the East Midlands at the week-end?

Well said Clodagh !!!

MAW thunderstorms then sunny !! Have a good trip.

Here here Clodagh

now here's the thing - I have just been out a harvesting my loverly sweet peas and seen the first signs of the dreaded GREENFLY making themselves cosily at home

oh no

not on my sweet peas ya dont!

So lovely blog peeps - need a plan of attack - somewhere in the back of my mind I'm sure I heard that spraying them with washing up liquid does the trick????

All gardening tips re the above gladly accepted

debs

pees ess - thats tips about sweet peas not war in my garden......

although on second thoughts......

Watch out GREENFLY!

Here here CLP, makes you mad doesn't it!

Debs - Yes, get a garden or ironing spray with some washing up liquid (same proportion as for washing up), works a treat on roses too, and makes their leaves all shiny!

JG x

Debs.

Stop right there.

I'll send Renee round without delay with the perfume. She's had the leeches applied now and has had her cuppa so she's amidst a right sugar-rush.

Make My Day, cheeky greenfly. They'll be on their backs cross-eyed and shoutin' Uncle in no time.

With weather like this it should all be about sun oil!

I meant to say Hear hear, not that I don't get your point as it sounded.

C.xx

CLP- I made the very same comment to my Mum yesterday!

They don't want us there and we're trying to tell them that their way of life is wrong... we wouldn't be so happy if someone came here and tried to do the same.

There has been far too much waste of human life in the conflicts over oil and you'd think we'd have learned by now... seems not!!!

Morning Chris - here's a first.....I'm giving this one a hooj swerve, except to say that I sympathise more with what Ju_Julie said.

Opinions eh! Where would we be without them?

Morning to the rest of the gang,

got to the airport early thinking I would try and grab an earlier flight home, only to be told that it would cost me 200 squid to change it.......a full 155 squid more than the original cost me.

Even I'm not that daft!

I'm gonna learn em a lesson though......I've hopped onto their free wireless network and am going to get loads of you toob vids running until I've run up about 200 yooro's worth of jiggybites.........

Clodagh.xx

Afternoon Bloogers and schloggers,

Chris, is it worth it emphatically no!

The problem with the way both Governments spout off in the media that fuels racial hatred and give the radicals on both side more ammunition to hate (dont like this word) each other even more. I say pull out of there and leave them to it.... do we need them here .....no, so pack your bags and go home diplomats of nations who do not consider us to be friends. And likewise bring our diplomats home from countries that we are not welcome in. Simple!

As for our soldiers, I would suggest that am closer than most on here regarding to the goings on in Afghanistan and Iraq due to my work. There are times when I dread my phone ringing as the result for me can be truly awful not only for me but even more so for the families involved. Nuff said :-((

Whilst our troops are doing what they have been trained to do (and for the most part enjoy doing) it is so very hard for the families left behind to worry for loved ones.

I think it is fair to say that most of the UK population do not agree with the war as it should not be our fight. In my opinion we are there solely for politically motivated reasons and not necessarily in the best interest on the people on the street here. I say let them sort it out themselves even if it is hard to stand by and watch.

Give me the billions that have been spent ad I am sure even I could find better ways of spending it! ;-))

Right off my soap box. ;-)

Sat/sitting here isn't the worst thing I've ever had to do.....I don't know what they put in the water in this part of the world (well that's not strictly true, and I have the beer gut to prove it) but I have plenty to occupy my beady eyes.

Just listening to PMQ's and am glad to see that Mr Berk-Oh (as he is known locally?as a neighbouring MP) is as bad as I thought he'd be.

It must have been very hard for you coping with your father being away and seeing your Mum trying to keep the family going.

My heart goes out to everyone who've got serving family members in the forces.

Did anyone see the James Nebitt programme last week about Iraq? I can't pretend to have understood all of it but it was bloody good telly and just shows you that nothing is simple, nothing is at it seems, just lots of different people with different agendas doing their own thing.

Love & peace man.

MV x

...Deev, def agree...and there is far worserer stuff on telly with 'language' etc...now, I ain't a prude, but some of the programmes are just vile with the use of it...

All you gotta do is watch sunnink like the Sweeney or similar (which I reckon if it was re-made these days would be full of spleetivs), or any of the older non-swearing programmes, to realise that it really isn't necessary most of the time!

...and the c word isn't necessary at all...

Christophe, all I wish for, for your wee boy, is that he grows up in a peaceful happy world...and I wish that for everyone...at the risk of sounding far too gushy and luvvy-darling for my own good...

What's all that nonsense I've just heard on SW.

You're more likely to get a favourable response from a chap if you talk into 'is right ear, because of the brain chemistry of the average chap.

What a load a tosh. Brain Chemistry indeed. It's not that at all.

Everyone knows it's because most women are right-handed.

To cite the example of my dearly beloved friend Craig from Barnsley. He who can accurately pin-point any woman's bra size purely by weight. You HAVE to talk into his right ear, owing to the tinnitus in 'is left after he correctly guaged mine from behind and without prior authorisation.

See. Point proven. No pun intended.

Afternoon,

I've been up to the Big Smoke this morning for a meeting, so just caught up on the blog.

Chris, if only it was a simple as them coming home, but as has been said I fear that it's got more to do with oil than anything else. Well said though xx

I've got greenfly on my geraniumns (sp!) and they are three floors up on a balcony, so I guess the little blighters fly high.

Lovely day in Kent, bit breezey bit it cools it down a bit.

AliB - Sneezy Spice (you should have heard me I just did 8 in a row, very loudly!!!)

xxxxxxxx

P.S. Happy Hump Day

Clodagh - I nearly blew coffee out of my nose....thanks for that!

C from B, obviously doesn't know you so well if he expected a positive outcome from that effort!

Flight delayed - Quel surprise!!

Hi Thunder - bang on sir.

Rips

Rips, are you flying with those so-and-so's who offer you cheap flights then charge you up the wazoo for everything except the seat (I reckon soon enough they'll be charging if you want a seatbelt - or have I just given someone an idea...). If so, what possessed you to think they'd move you to another flight for less than the cost of a five bedroom mansion in Kent??? That'll be the porter, eh...

Not much to say, all, had a very draining day - strange how having nothing to do can make you so tired... Nearly home time anyway, then off for drinkies (well, just the one, I'm driving) with a friend so she can offload about her (and my) current employer.

Have a lovely evening all.

AF xx

Bloody hell Rips my little puff adder, you're not still stuck in t' airport are you?

Blimey that comes under the category of Beyond The Call Of Duty surely. What a shame though. You could have spent a lovely day in Cork; it's not completely wall-to-wall eejits really you know, there are some great little bars and coffee shops, and, of course, you coulda mooched around Brown Thomas for summat gargeous for the missus.

Anyway I'll shrup, that's not helpful is it. Like when you stop to ask directions (which I usually belligerently refuse to do by the way), and you get some daft old bat who says, "Ah, well, see... I wouldn't start from here...." grrr.

Actually, speaking of Craig, as we were en route back to Dublin airport after his latest jaunt a couple weeks ago, we took a short-cut and ended up rowing, as Craig didn't believe I knew where we were going. "See." He boomed. "Pull up 'ere. Al ask these twou women. EXCUSE ME LOOV," .. the two looked startled. "Is this t' reet way to t' airport?"

"Ah Jaysus." looking at each other as if he'd asked 'em the Swahili for Psychiatry.

"You want ta get off dis road, Jaysus what ja tink, Breeda? Tell yous wha. Go up to de top and torn dat way (pointing left) ..right? Den when you see Murphy's Bar, torn right at de lights before yous get there. Right?.."

Craig shut the window and said not another word till we spotted a Ryanair jet overhead and simply followed that.

And yet another example of what happens when you talk to a chap's left ear. It goes in, turns to shrapnel and exits via his gob.

Clodagh.xx

Hi AF,

Air Fungus, aren't too bad, we went away last year with Ryan air and were told that the two bags (instead of four, as four of us were travelling) we had decided to take were over the weight limit, but there would be no charge.
No charge until we came home and found that they were willing to charge us 200 squid going the other way.....

If we'd known - we would have bought new bags on the way out!

They don't wear masks either!

Rips

Aww Rips

I can think of better places to spend a day out!!

Clodagh, you've put me in mind of Billy Connelly describing the Liverpool ring-road - when he asked for directions, he was told "you can't get there from here"!

JG x

Hope you enjoyed the strawbs KH-Spice mine were delish!!

Now Mum has just gone off down the road to find a nice man to hang me some hanging basket brackets above me two outside toilets full of flars!! She seems to have a knack of finding friends hubbys who she's no doubt been told have far too much time on their hands and getting them to help me out. She really is a superstar (for me) though would never dream of asking for help with anything for herself.

Fault!

Clodagh - I did find my way into Brown Thomas - they seem to own half of the buildings on the high st....I went in the main front doors and came out somewhere near Dublin!

Ah don't get me goin', Rips.

At least you knew where you were with Dick Turpin. Your Money Or Your Life was a simple choice. And a bit a horsemuck on the roads wasn't such a threat to the old Ozone Layer.

The amount of time I've spent warning my little gang about the pitfalls of booking Ryanair; nowadays I just book their tickets myself. It's less traumatic.

The best thing, though, is when you do manage to navigate the system and get the cheap flight, dodge the taxes, baggage charges, unnecessary insurance, etc., and then they charge you a fee for using your card. Debit card that is. And that's ok I suppose; but how the robbin' so and so's justify charging you the fee EACH WAY when it's only one transaction.... ???? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Jaysus am off for a Mivvi.

Hi Beez
Busy at work and was away in France last week with the family playing golf and drinking beer.

Didnt send the greenfly. I think they came from your direction.

Rips. I hope you have escape the confines of the airport.

Thunder

Maybe 'He' has sent a swarm of greenfly because 'He' is fresh out of locusts?

...which apparently are nice deep fried, albeit a bit on the crunchy side...

You'd be hard pushed to deep fry a green fly though.

We've got greenfies galore herem and many other colours and sizes too, with one thing in common: they all like to either a)fly in a demented circle above my head or b) bite me. Flies love me, despite my rigorous hygiene and fragrant demeanour.

Can I be Foxy Spice?

We've got greenfly too, but the washing up liquid does help the plants. No bees or wasps though, as Finlay seems to have eaten them all!

Am hiding indoors at the moment, as loads of people cutting lawns at the moment, and I'm sneezing like mad! Need to do mine too, but can't face it today.....Mr JG doesn't do lawns!!

Oh, and I know our lawn is full of horseflies, which I'm very allergic too, and it's far too hot for long trousers and long sleeves!!

Rips, hope you're on the plane by now?

JG x (thinking of more excuses)!!

PS Not sure about topless spice, don't wan to scare off the neighbours lol

Boleyngirl,
Therein lies your problem. You smell too nice.
They dont bite smelly people.

...and Jakeygirl what do you mean Mr JG doesn't do lawns. If I tried that on here I know exactly what Mrs T would say and it wouldnt be pleasant!!

Thunder
P.S. Let's hope Rips has managed to escape

Actually Thunder, have done an excellent deal with Mr JG, if I clear up after the dog tonight (done) he will cut the lawn tomorrow!

Now as I would have had to do both, I think that's a brilliant deal!! LOL

AND, he will still have to do the s**t job tomorrow too....LMAO

And he thinks he's clever!!

Evening all,

We have loads of green fly too, disgusting things . get everywhere.

Have just got my laptop back from the repair shop today. Now, thought i would be clever and password protect some confidential stuff, before leaving at the shop. As it has been 12 days since i last used it, I have no idea what the password was that i used. Driving myself nuts trying to hack into my own spreadsheets ;-(((((


Must be thick spice for me !!!!!!!!!

MC xx

Woohoo! thanks all for the concern, but I'm home.
Should be a laugh next week as I intend to take the beast over with some of the more specialist materials.
Can't afford to buy them over there, massive price difference.

Anyone up for a road trip?

Kids cuddled, storied and in bed!

Forgot however that I am now a Tennis widow for two weeks, so I'm off to water the garden!

Hi Rips,

Gorgeous day up north

Evening each

Chris, so profound, but so simple, eh? Why does no-one listen to us? The Save the Children website is worth looking at, although it's heartbreaking.

Hi all. Went over the rickety rackety bridge this morning in thick fog and returned this evening in glorious sunshine. Have spent the day helping a voluntary organisation to raise money, then the local Heritage Centre with the 4 yr old (used to be the 3 yr old), racing tractors, playing on the wooden train etc.......
