Killing it at backgammon at the moment.

The Cat in the Hat film I think you mean was awful but as children's books go, I love Dr Seuss. The Sneetches is great and I think you'd enjoy it - described by Wikipedia that "an allegory for prejudice and discrimination, and also offers a lesson of materialism and entrepreneurship" with the central characters being some "vaguely avian yellow creatures who live on a beach". Right up your street.

The Fox is a character in another story, Green Eggs and Ham. The main character doesn't like green eggs and ham and is challenged throughout the story by the irritating "Sam-I-Am" about whether he would like them in a variety of other circumstances, all rhyming obviously. "Would you like them in the rain, would you like them on a plane?". This is just a bit cheeky "Would you, could you, with a fox?" Maybe it's me - I saw a very large lady on hols with a "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" t-shirt and smirked about it a lot. Smutfest.

I do like childrens rhyming books, though. Pass the Jam, Jim, The Giant Jam Sandwich, The Gruffalo. All brilliant. Not rhyming, but the Shirley Hughes books, especially Alfie and Annie Rose ones, always make me nostalgic.

I love a freshly opened foil of Twinings, attempting to dunk my large chocolate cluster into it and it's not going well.

What tea is it? Not really a tea person me although I do like there Lady Grey and M&S do a very nice version called Empress Grey.

Incredible plot holes. Aliens invade to get Gold Rush America to get gold. Harrison Ford says "What're they gonna do, buy something?" So bad it's good. Daniel Craig must have shirtless scenes written into every contract now - Bond, this one, also a trailer for a sort of horror film Dream House out later this year - yes, the shirt's off again. I like him as an actor, but crikey he's a dull interviewee.

Guess I didn't win the bet then? Shame really I was looking forward to the veggie suet & the polos.

O/T to the residents! but is anyone watching Falling Skys on FX? pretty good, gutted Human target has finished, so much better then first season. Still, Walking Dead back soon so happy days.

I think you'll find it's a bread cake.

Your a bit of a snob really arnt u what's wrong with tetley tea bags

On the contrary, I very much approve. Local dialects of all kinds are traditional old English. It's the Victorian imported Frenchified fancy words adapted by the lower and middle middle-classes to disguise anything they thought was vulgar which are, in fact, vulgar, and which I cannot abide.

I'm a right patty eater down the tenny, so don't be chowwing at me, Goose Boy.

I think you will find that "chowing" is a single w.
