Why do so many male City types wear pink shirts nowadays? Complex psychological reason involving pink shirts' connotations of sexuality and the liberation thereof (I've no clue whether I'm spouting nonsense here or not, so feel free to correct), wishing they were free of the office trappings??  |

What about that financial/stockexchange geezer who comes on BBC Breakfast TV in the red braces (suspenders for the US members). Don't know his name so can't get his imaage, he comes on for a chat with Declan smiling whatever the financial gloom with those flippin' red braces |

Declan Declan is one of the most irritating people on the box imho, generally non-informative and once delivered a very underhand 'has been' comment to the one who was on celeb come dancing battling on with the leg injury.
Aboutthe time I ditched the telly and let their various pusillanimousnesses battle it out while I read the paper instead. The other dude, one Robert Preston?, comes on like a thesp but can explain things a bit more dynamically.

Woken up at 7:15 this morning by a genetically-modified-size-wise wasp. It's still there, the stupid thing. The window's wide open! Get out!  |

It has taken me until now to remove the last big of the iceberg that was in my fridge. It now sits in the sink - in fact in almost fills half the sink. Upon washing up (prior to iceberg final removal) I find my old, but most favourite earthenware (Denby) casserole dish has two serious hairline cracks in it. Goodbye faithfull and trusted friend! Does anyone else get attached to oven dishes I wonder? It was just the right size and depth for my pasta bakes.  Upon going to put the washing on I find I forgot to buy washing powder. On the plus side, after a long search I have found my zester. |

Icebergs in fridges are a big nuisance. I got a frost-free one and even that had icebergs for a while, until a Fridge Man sorted it out. Another queen wasp this morning. It crawled up my leg but I didn't get stung, and only yelled a bit  |

And yes, I get fond of dishes. Often it's possible to find an identical one on Ebay.

Yup Ants, I have formed attachments over the years to pots and pans. I particularly mourn the loss of the saucepan reserved exclusively for cooking rice. A flatmate nicked it and I am convinced rice has never tasted the same since  Also a rather battered 'roaster' from the 30s. It mysteriously disappeared - it was perfect for making baked chicken with rice. <stifledsobemoticon> Btw, if you find my paring knife somewhere in the fifth dimension of your kitchen let me know. It sure as hell ain't in my kitchen |

Crikey Mort From the 30s? I never knew you were that old  Cheers Mary, might have a look at ebay to replace it. |
