A Fresh Start

Gosh! Guest posting..! This feels like I’m poking around in someone else’s house when they’re away. Writing stuff in someone else’s control panel. (Em, why is the writing box so WEE?! And why do the images not float left properly like they do on my site?!)
Heh. I can say whatever I want here. Oh, […]

Have any of you seen this Ebay entry, which was hit by loads of time wasters, the guy who is selling the MPV is very funny in his replies, to the comments and questions.

Oh and EM - you can share the “news” that was top secret until now, when you are back to full Blog-worthyness ;-)

On the first day, God created the dog and said:
“Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said: “That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and […]

Norway doesn’t get a huge amount of coverage on British radio and television. A great shame, since as we’ve seen from Em’s pictures, it really is a beautiful country.
What a coincidence then that as I opened up the first email from the man himself while on his sojourn in the fjorded place, a voice on […]

Can’t get enough Em while he is cruising the Ffiods?
Well. here are some definitions based on our hero to be going on with:
Emontillado: Spanish Sherry, or Welsh checkout person speaking their mind frankly about your choice of groceries.
Eminate: Welsh member of Rowing Crew
Emport Duty: Welsh Staff Rota at Felixtowe Customs
Empathy: School of Garden design developed […]

When Em3 mentioned that he was going to Norway, I thought it was an interesting choice of a vacation destination.  I have never thought about visiting there personally.  I think I wondered to myself why he would choose to go there.  Was there a relative?  Did he have long lost friends there?  Those were the […]

As I casually browsed through my emails today, I noticed the interestingly titled subject of “Your a winner“.
Noticing it was from Play Monday, the new “alternative lottery”, I was excited to say the least…..Especially as I had put 5 of my well earned gold coins on it the week before and forgotten all about it.
After […]

Well, I suppose it’s time that I lost my blogging virginity.
Last night after football training (registering players, not participating, I hasten to add) I found myself in the pub recounting a story of football supporting daring-do involving myself and our host. It therefore seems opportune to recount it again.
Our beloved yellow & blues were playing […]

Being an honoured Guest blogger and as “mini Em3” (as the rumour suggests) is sleeping, I thought I would offer some words of wisdom confusion….
After dropping Em3 off at the heli-pad on Sunday, that wisked him off to his secret Fish surveylance mission in Norway (shhhh…), I felt empty, withdrawn and concerned.  No not because […]

It is a great honour to be amongst the Half Dozen guest bloggers whittled down from the initial, er, six applicants to fill the expansive boots of the Em whilst he is exploring darkest Norway. Or lightest Norway. I tried to come up with a collective noun for us but “Em People” was the best […]

Brrrrrrring, brrrrrring, brrrrrrring.
 
“Hello.”
 
“Yes, one moment please.” 
 
“Mom, you’re wanted on the telephone.”
 
Have you heard that saying, if looks could kill?  I received one of those from my mother at that very moment.  I just smiled at her and handed her the receiver.
 
In a sweet, friendly voice my mother said, “Hello.”
 
“Oh yes.  Mmmmhmmmm.  Yes, uh huh, well, […]

Ah, bliss.
The fat bloke’s buggered off somewhere or other and the mad woman from next door is fussing over me twice a day.
This is the life.
Let’s have a party …

Where’s that fat bugger got to? The strange woman from next door’s fussing over me, but she’s no fun - won’t play This Door That Door, for example.
Still, at least now I can sleep wherever I want to.
If I could just entice those ginger buggers into the house when Strange Woman’s not looking they’d […]
