“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
My favourite character in Dad’s Army has always been Frazer the dour Scottish undertaker. John Laurie played him to the hilt and beyond. If you’ve never watched Dad’s Army, may I humbly recommend it as one of those timeless classics ? Here is Frazer – the quintessential Celt – who tells a Grand Wee Story. […]
Because we live out of town, to pick up any prescriptions we have to go inside the Surgery to the Dispensary. As I’m BANNED from entering said Surgery I sent young fellow, me lad in this morning. OMG! They are still doing the one out, one in rubbish so…I had nearly 20 minutes sitting in […]

Survival of the Fattest? Hip? Link? The helicopter that drops the cargo in Mongolia for Clarkson, May and […]
I F1RST came across Tom Hiddleston through Ken Bran’s Wallander TV series. Yum. Thought I. That’s one HANDSOME man. He also has a great schwoony kind of voice. In my humble opinion. Not QUITE KB but …Close Enough :o) For a girl without a single sweet tooth, there are somethings that I ADORE. Chocolate. And […]
“To all you old buggers, like me, out there, what are your memories of the Toc H? I remember it as being an addition to the NAAFI. They used to go round in old vans dishing out tea and butties on ranges and on the outskirts of camp.“ When you’d been up since before dawn […]
Let’s go back to the beginning? HE SAID : SHE SAID : I, I got a new life, you would hardly recognize me, I’m so gladHow can a person like me care for you?I, why do I bother, when you’re not the one for me?Oo-hoo-hoo-oo-ooIs enough enough? I saw the sign and it opened up […]
