I like that tuba because Yamaha makes pianos too.They are good. I have kawaii upright, but I want to have Petroff upright. This piano looks really good.  Sting stung stung - This is my lesson for today. Thank you Turfan Fragment. |

I thought the past tense of 'sting' was 'stung'
"Staing" is the present participle of the verb "to sta" as any fool knows. |

Sta - staing  Child's shoes comes from that word some how. It is probably children's wear company. I am bad with names. Now I know Sta. |

They were so big I didn't have the heart to break them.
You are being FAR too kind to those spiders. Have you ever seen what they do when they're not building webs or sucking the juices out of live insects? Nothing. They'd buy their flies at Waitrose if they could be bothered to walk that far.  Sadly the alternative to the post-its is the old web-in-face/spider-in-hair trick, with which Mort is all too familiar... You can take them down all you like, they're always back in the morning and I'm rarely perceptive enough to spot them in time. [sigh] The Golden Orb spider is quite big and has a web to match. As some may remember I once walked through one such and heard a ripping sound as I did so that I was convinced had come from my shorts (snagged on a bush or something). I then looked up and behind me and saw something about the size of the palm of my hand sitting in a web with an Ollie-shaped dent in the lower half. I continued somewhat shaken on my merry way. |

Now, now, now, bbm, as well we all know I hardly need encouragement in my excessive posting behaviour. I do wish martle would get a move on though. He should have overtaken me by now. I question his commitment.  |

I think that the haggis I had for lunch was a mistake.
Normally our canteen does fine haggis but this doesn't seem to have agreed with me at all.

What's the difference? actually I do quite like haggis but I've only had it once or twice owing to my position in the deprived southern wastelands |

These are haggies. Not even the Scots would eat those, t-p: it's haggis that's being discussed, not Huggies. |

... but perhaps this is where the canteen went wrong today...  I think I would have noticed. I hope I would have noticed. We all had it so perhaps it's just my digestive system being unhappy. I have been feeling generally run down lately and this might be another symptom of that. If things don't improve by Friday I'm going to the doctor. The idea of facing a new term like this is distinctly unappealing. |
