    I am fighting the impulse to response with a battle that makes the opening to Saving Private Ryan look like a pet shop advert.

    TA - my filthy mind!

    The staff at the M8 toll plaza in Watergrasshill make my day, having the craic with them for those brief seconds when handing over my fee brightens my morning.

    Got some tax affairs sorted out last month after I paid the guy to do them I have ten euro left of the refund to spend on 'nothing'!
    The plans running through my mind for this solitary ten euro!

    My last attempt at trading here grossed E6 as the expected large group got detained and arrived far too late..my neighbours bought a Mayo angel each and pressganged a passing cyclist into buying one....

    My boss told me to spend it on chocolate! Sounded good to me..

    TH about an unexpected invitation for chicken breast with mashed potatoes at a friends place yesterday evening. Fooling around with his kids and getting put their tame rat onto my shoulders. ;-)

    Later there were two mugs of old fashioned rum ´n ´coke for the adults and me cycling back home in pitch black night surrounded by far away thunderstorms. Fantastic to look at my scheduled stop 2/3 down the way and seeing the bats swishing by as well.

    Like it... :-D

    Haven't read them books in years. Would it look a bit odd if a 30-something was to go & buy them

    No it would not!

    Have this song from Oliver twist stuck in my head this morning...consider yourself well in, consider yourself part of the furniture, we've taken to you so strong, it's clear we're going to get along....not a bad song to have stuck in your head in work on a Friday. You're welcome for the earworm :D

    I was obsessed with Oliver as a child, it's still the only musical I'd ever watch:)

    Another vote for Revolting Rhymes here:)

    My favourite books as a kid. Read them again with trepidation as an adult (good while ago, late twenties, I guess), but still found them a lovely read, which was a relief. I hope you enjoy them again when you get around to it!

    My dad is in one for the last couple of years and I was bottling it - same time as that Aras Attracta story.

    They are angels, and he's difficult!

    Bless them!!!

    The news that Big Brother is soon to be knocked on the head. The next "civilian" series will be the last, at least in the UK. Good riddance; now, for an encore, could someone please take off and nuke Love Island from orbit? It's the only way to be sure.

    Do you know what makes me happy today? That, for a change, someone I was expecting had the decency to let me know they were going to be late, and asked if it was still ok with me if they called in. MANNERS!!
