Dug up mine the other day. Nice and dry and clean in the cool shed. Should get me to Christmas anyway. Then I might switch to the old rice.

TLDR: I'm alright Jack. Give my regards to the workhouse.

What she said was "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche"

No wonder they had her head off!

They'd have been alright if it had been cake. Who wouldn't been down with that?

Of course townies and city slickers never complain, remember all the crying you lot had about having to pay for water?

Weather forecast is accurate for 4 days after that it’s crystal ball gazing, so what’s your point?

My point is, it doesn't matter the fúck what the weather does, there'll be a hand out needed to deal with it - it's either too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry - never just right!

What other industry anywhere in the world whines as much?
