Oh the weather outside is frightful ...

Blimey! It's nearly Christmas already .. and, well, I've got some presents bought. But what is going on with the weather?

When I were a lad ... [cue old-man voice] ... all this was fields. Oh, and we had snow. Real snow .. stuff wot went "creak" when you trod on it. Dahn Sarf all we get is a wind-and-rain combo. Pah!

We don't need no education ...

Well, I'm chuffed. My wife educates two of our kids at home. This is still regarded as a bit hippy (suits me).. but here's an example of how we can do better than schools:

They were reading "Thieves of Ostia" by Caroline Lawrence. Kieran wrote a review of the book. Show me a school who would publish the review on amazon .. and I'll take these words back!

I shot the sheriff ...

A couple of today's finds wot amused me:

Ahem, exactly why were you speeding, sir?
Well, it was like this ...

We love our Government. They love ID cards

Rip it up and start again ...

OK, OK. Let's just pretend that was "R&D" .. and begin again.

So: on to my life. Well .. bits of it. And my loves and hates. We could start with a Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down. Mmmm Nice [as in biscuits ;^)].

Oh, FWIW, the editor thingy seems to works fine in Firefox. Hurrah!

I guess y'all would like to know whose blogs I read .. well, dontcha? Oh, well - please yerselves. 'M gonna tell you anyhoo. Check out: Stray Toaster and/or Maternally Touched. Husband-of-friend-of-wife and wife respectively.
