Knew where you were going with the humour reference.

Cushions on a sofa (or is it settee amongst us inverted snobs? WIH will know) - a couple for comfort, maybe a third for ornament. But 5 on a 2 seater... I can hardly fit my plump, hairy gluteo on it. Love her though.

Along Came Polly.

I've got a cold, that's about 3 this year - I thought you were supposed to get less as you get older. Anyone believe in taking zinc, vitamin C or anything else as preventative?

Take berrocca

Went to a couple of the holiday sites near Brid today (Reighton Sands and Primrose Valley). Used to love them as a kid, but they seem to have lost their character and be money-orientated now, e.g. Starbucks & Burger King at a Haven site. Way of the world though I guess.

Had bad cold / flu just before Xmas. I drank quite a lot of pure orange, symptoms only lasted a matter of days so the vitamin c may have helped but obviously you can't be certain. However, two great supplements I take are spirulina and chlorella. IIRC spirulina alone contains something like over 100 nutrients, both recommended for general health, preventing things like colds, supposed to be great energy boosters, etc etc. www.herbwisdom.com/herb-spirulina.html

Am a tad worried about Mr Worm. He's taken to standing at the edge of the campsite staring towards the sand dunes and the horizen.

He's refused to take a stroll down to the village for fish and chips and has insisted on burning a can of Heinz beans still in the tin over the 'fire pit' you can hire for 3 quid from the camp shop. When we got back he had wrapped himself in the dog's blanket and was lying in the mud next to the glowing embers, having shoved his bottle of Evian under the dog.

Dog is completely disorientated and hasn't even got the sofa (nor two cushions for comfort) to lie on, just a cramped blow up chair.

You have got to love camping!

Soooooo excited going to see the ape film tonight...Mr Manu being putting it off and coming up with excuses (some stupid one's as well), no more excueses he has finally caved in.

Youngest is getting nervous now he gets his results next Thursday, suddenly started tho think he may have dropped to a B in maths...the sooner next Thursday comes the better if you ask me he is just a cranky miserable sod

Where have you put my harmonica?

No more mead for you unless it comes back.

My friend put me onto this and it's something I've noticed quite a lot recently.

Why do people with big expensive cars insist on using there mobile phones whilst driving?

You can get a hands free kit installed for about eighty quidish, small beer surely when you're driving a 60k car? Or if you're a skin flint you could even get one of those awful blue tooth ear pieces that old men who no one ever calls wear whilst buying micro chips in Morrison's.
