A new venture for 2008 perhaps?

"Darwins Choc-O-Maggots" could be just the thing.

Advance orders taken now.

Wenchy will have a gross

I suppose "Coco-Spiders" would be equally attractive?

Mrs Nick and The Boy went to this and tried some samples................

[grumpyoldsoldier]

A tiler, engaged to re-tile the kitchen splash-backs two weeks ago, failed to show up. Mumbled 'phone call with lame excuse at the last minute. All other tilers too busy for at least two months. Resigned to doing it myself or waiting. Today, out of the blue, he turned up (half an hour ago) and started work. Reckons he'll do half today and finish off on Thursday. Mrs S will be p*ssed off as the kitchen is a mess and he has just shoved everything to one side. I can't wait for her to come home ..... she is due at 3.35 ~ I am searching for my tin bowler.

I must take issue with you on this post, to whit tin bowler. The expression is either tin hat or battle bowler. (Point to note the helmet is not made of tin) I felt that it would be remiss of me not to bring this to your immediate attention for fear of you making an arse of yourself during the after dinner cigar and port.
Young Carruthers, 1st Battalion Foot and Mouth, made a similar gaffe in the mess some years and was drummed out of the regiment, I understand that he now works in the retail trade.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

He is now working in our bedroom. Mrs Nick has moved virtually the entire contents out and spread them all over the house. There is nowhere to sit. The whole house looks like an Oxfam shop!

And Mrs Nick keeps mopping up. WHY? He stillhas two more doors to strip...........

GOS,
Many thanks for your guidance in this matter. Being an ex-RAF NCO the subtleties of these matters are beyond me. After all the RAF was the only service to get it right. We stayed at home and sent the officers to do the fighting!

Bloody outstanding Snoopy

He's back!

When he presents his invoice hand him one of your own:

To listening to your life history or part thereof
                                                              £ (insert an appropriate figure proportionate to his bill)

I think the workman may countersue with an invoice of his own of a similar nature ....prolly like
