    Verily, off to the infirmary went I, not before taking mine pair of stately hounds for a brief constitutional, to the infirmary where alas lays mine most beloved young sister. Following a lengthy stay by said siblings bedside off home set I, partaking to gaze upon warbling wannabes and judges in a cunning test of skill whilst all the while munching upon a delightful concoction of bread and cheese and tomato and sausage and pepperoni washed down with caramel flavored carbonated beverage.

    T'wll not be til the morrow which I discover which wannabe hast ended thy journey upon the road to stardom, and which shall continue to enthrall me in the coming weeks, indeed.

    Arise Sir the noon has past,
    Bedraggled by thine own crust,
    To sweat in vain for vanity sake,
    To swim for sake of swimming
    And thence to dine,
    The forbidden mini fish box,
    Gaze from distance,
    Upon lustful times of past,
    And wenches fine,
    Rest thine wrist,
    Upon paper sheet.


    (woke up in a ball, went to the gym, watched filth)

    I always liked this, read it years ago

    They hang the man, and flog the woman,
    That steals the goose from off the common;
    But let the greater villain loose,
    That steals the common from the goose.

    Was to do with landowners taking over common land

    You could almost apply it to today, mortgage holders going to court while the golden circle are being looked after ;)

    Arose I, this early morn and prepared a feast for a wench I am well accustomed with. Much wine we drank and laughed heartily till I, noticing the hour, invited them to return in the morn for tea and pigs insides encased in matter. They agreed and gleefully we bid them good night until the morrow. When we shall meet again.:)

    "Our hedge master died in 1805 and since then weve had no school, and for what we see of the CIE sure we might as well be in Kabul.
    And yet we might get the auld electric light and then again... We might not, and the Christmas mail arrives without fail after Easter in Drumsnott."

    Surely, by God while fiddling with this new Babbage difference engine, I have recently become cognisant of the fact that Master Tesco and Sons will deliver all one's weekly wares and needs right to the tradesman's entrance of one's manor. How convenient but if I was avail of such dispensation, I fear the kitchen boy would become to indolent and focus his attentions on pilfering from my good self.

    I am contemplating on summoning my carriage, so as I could attend an evenings entertainment accompanied by some fine ale at the gentlemen's club.

    Why Lord Sitec, i do believe your governess has failed you. Lest your intention was to equate your quaffing company to the upper bone of ones arm.

    My head aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
    My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
    Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains

    Last night I imbibed to much spirit at the gentleman's club, one mustn't, but I dearly suspect cook is trying to poison her good master, that foul creature, I will notify my very good friend Sir Robert Peel of her foul and immoral transgressions.
