Hi Ken
As Geoff has said before: Remember your Shakespeare "To be or not to be" - always 2B.

Could i just clarify what that means please?
I've always used lolly sticks in the past (living next door to 4 children there's always plenty available) but now having to use plastic labels. What is a 2B pen?

Pet hates!
I try hard to be tollerant but it is so easy to compile a list of things/actions which can enrage me (for about 30 seconds - I cann't be bothered to keep these things in mind)
- people who stop and chat to each other at the narrowest point of the pavement/corridor. Why do they always stand right in the middle and across the space?
- people who stop at the top and bottom of stairs to fiddle with their wheelie cases.
- dawdlers of all kinds.
Surely you don't want me to go on!

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Well, if it's a pork chop, it's nothing without the fat

Fat is flavour. Mmmm. I'll have it if you don't want it.
Allotment, but little achieved.

Finding a gang of Chinese people in my garden picking the plums a few weeks ago, and then some more calling at the door this week asking if they could get some pears!!!!! - at least they asked this time.

Hmmm - this is a recurring theme as my dad discovered some neighbours had been stealing apples and veg from his garden and when my dad commented the guy said that my dad was somehow harming his daughter by stopping her eating apples

Reminding me of an anecdote in yesterday's Independent. The writer's friend had lost her cat, and then found that a neighbour had it and was claiming it as hers. When the friend protested that she had bought the cat and paid the vet bills, the neighbour said: "Well, it comes to my house, I feed it, and when it's night time, I lock it in overnight - it obviously prefers me..."
