Silly Week #1

Save your shoes from rain damage today.

It’s Silly week again

Doesn’t time fly?  Is it really one year ago  that Man in a Shed began this fine tradition where, for one week only, we post things which are just plain … well … silly? Click either here or on the pic for the rules. Go to it rightly and may scallops rock yer tadger!

Why I didn’t delete

What must be perfectly obvious is that my blogrules have to change. Having recently laid them down, they’ve been knowingly and cynically tested by one person a couple of weeks back, which I find it hard to forgive her for and now inadvertently tested by “one of my own people”, if he’ll forgive me using [...]

Not a good day

It’s simply been an  awful day, on a number of counts. Sliding scales are a good device to quantify feelings and so, on the Mood-o-meter, where 10 is a feeling of euphoria, 5 is OK and 0 is total stress, today is currently about 2.5, the reason being two critical and a few less critical [...]

What a simply stupendous effort from the Queen of Attrition – Cherry Pie.  This Lady of the Gardens and Empress of the Board Games, doubling, in her spare moments as the boss-ess of the PCS, has no peer [to date].  Thank you once again for your esteemed patronage at this [not so] humble site.

All change again

Today I go to a menial job in another city, this time minus internet connection of any form – they don’t even run to email. Fine, the only way to handle this eight hours a day wrenched out of a rapidly shortening life is to pretend it’s an adventure and that it will create opportunities [...]

300 Comments!

The not-husband has done it again and racked up 300 comments this time – an amazing effort, when there is so much to do – post on Beelze-Bob, Mimi, Ted and Boris, as well as heaps more flora and fauna plus visits to Paris and good causes. It’s a wonder Jams has time for the [...]

What more is there to say about Dearieme?  Anyone who recommends the music of Concita Supervia [pity it's embedding disabled], is clearly someone out of the ordinary.  What excites this student of the anomaly is fine machinery [whilst others merely drink in the young lady in question]:

Mark Wadsworth, the UK’s premier cow attack blog, has hit the big two-oh-oh! Obviously not content with running for UKIP, telling us about Land Value Tax or ogling the girls on bikes over here, he also leaves … er … interesting answers to quizzes and somehow fits in some accountancy along the way. Sometimes Mark [...]

Sackerson is the man to visit if you ant to understand a bit of what the economist bloggers say. Bearwatch is self-explanatory, they laughed at Noah equally so and of course, Sackerson is a bear – clear now? Quite why he wishes to run a second blog – Broad Oak Blog is a puzzle to [...]

Zzzzzzzzz

Knackered – going to bed.  Plan to wake sometime this evening to annoy you.  By the way, excellent news: The Premier League referee and his English assistants Darren Cann and Michael Mullarkey were widely praised for their performance in previous matches. Fifa announced that a European referee would be appointed to oversee the final between [...]

Here is my opinion of Ubermouth. In case that’s not enough, here is another opinion of her. At 23:01, I’ve just noticed that she’s gone way past 300 comments – slap on the wrist to me and I have to rewrite this post.  Well, what can I add to what’s been already said?  Heart of [...]
