Thatcher dead.

[Barman]

Absolutely ~ Ghastly woman, friend of the MiL actually  

But a classic case of cometh the hour cometh the (wo)man. She did what was needed at the time. Now we need someone equally strong and determined but frankly, looking at the current Houses of Parliament, I find it hard to see from whence they will come.

Looking across the pond is no better. The choice is going to be between an aged war monger, a fat thighed woman and a blackman whose ears stick out making him look like a wingnut. Meanwhle old Putin must be Laughinhiscockoff (That's Russian for finding it funny). 'Tween him and the Chinese we ain't gorra chance in the next half century.

So true Snoops, it was the same with Churchill after WW2. This country has a habit of putting people on pedestals only to knock them off when they tire of them. I give you the  latest example of this, Jonny Wilkinson...

Jonny Wilkinson wasn’t prime minister! 

But the point is well made ...... Only Guscott and Brian Moore had anything good to say about him yesterday. Everyone else (Pundits etc) were saying "Well he's past it now of course". I expect the papers this morning will be the same.

I didn't watch it... 

Anyways... you're up early!

[Snoopy]

Went to bed early ........ "we" weren't speaking you will recall 
 Apparently "we" are still not.
Anywhooo, I have plans for the day. I am going to the council tip later (always enjoy that) taking a boot load of old PCs, monitors, keyboards etc. It is not worth the effort to put them on ebay, all have had the hard drives removed and destroyed, two at least were running on Windows 95 and even the 7 yo was complaining they were not running his "Reader Rabbit" Discs properly. The monitors are all buggered one way or another, have long since been replaced, same as the keyboards. Just never got round to binning them all until yesterday when I had a bit of a sort out. It will be fun to watch the tip attendants and others scrambling in the cack trying to salvage what they will think are "COMPUTERS".
After that and following on from my "experiment" with a G&T yesterday (two in fact) I have not taken any valium today and plan to go round to my Brother's and drag him out for a lunch time pint. Prolly have a sandwich in the pub too as I doubt that lunch in this house will be a pleasure somehow. After that I shall return to the kennel and watch the Rugby.

Excellent, good on you! 

I have no plans for today yet… just see what comes my way…

Exeter beckons for me shortly, shopping for mirrors of all things, that'll keep the Mrs happy

Then a late lunch at a 15th century pub on the edge of Exmoor that an aquantance has just taken over, that'll keep me happy

Glad to see there is a sensible reason for that long drive.

The tip was a hoot. Hardly had the last of my load of computer bits hit the rubbish mouldering half way up the skip than three people dived in and started dragging them all out again. Meanwhle I (having "not seen" these idiots) calmly tipped a dustbin full of hedge prunings over them. The language  !

I shall go again next week  ..... it's better than the telly.
