...and then - to cap it all - when I waited for the train at Elmers End, it had the timerity to arrive 93 seconds EARLY! Although I was grateful to sit inside it in the warm, I was distinctly UPSET to discover that instead of waiting, it simply LEFT the station 72 seconds before it should have done. (I might well have MISSED the damned thing!)

I bet you are one of these people who stands on the station betting how late the train is going to be then complains if it is early...or late ? Do you also have a problem with McD's too? and Starbucks? A |

Do you also have a problem with McD's too? and Starbucks? A Blimey - how did you know? I am intensely annoyed by all mid-transit trains which (by definition) can ONLY be either "early" or "late". So what's the point of having a printed timetable? (Pure waste of paper.) AND (my God) - McD and Starbucks! Where do we start? Well, MuckDonalds delivers only muck, and (worst of all) Starbucks actually SURCHARGES those who eat or drink inside (so much do they hate their so-called "customers") - and please, please don't go and plead the old "VAT" adage! It won't wash. Baz |

Dear Mort, I understand the wine, the beer and the cocktails - but could you please explain the last of your illustrations? Thanks. Baz |

I have to say this reminds me of my day Baz... I went out for lunch and a wander around and my partner was in a really grumpy mood. I think it was also to do with the pub being shut, but it kind of spiralled after that... Have you any advice for me? how should I respond do you think?  A I think you're psychic A (and sorry about your day too!). But the really funny thing is that the pub you have displayed looks JUST LIKE the Harvester at Addington (but without the sign outside saying "Open all day"). Your partner sounds (on the surface) to be a man after my own heart. So...my advice is this: "listen and learn"". Baz |

Dear Baz, Being a well-brung up convent girl, I am a little vague on the origins of this image but I believe it to be a pleasurable and popular method of reconcilliation between couples who have experienced an certain amount of angst. Obviously this would not help you with the MuckDonalds situation or even Starbucks (try Nero or Costa, far better coffee), but you may wish to file it away somewhere for future reference? Might come in handy....  |

So - to your final riposte - wherein (exactly) does the hand go? Baz |

So right, Mort. Especially Nero. And you can still smoke in Nero - just! (Only 3 1/2 months to go now...) <urbane lighting of fag smiley> |

Dear Baz,
Alas, I am unable to answer your question as the `Hand` chapter was torn from our textbooks by Sister Enid of the Perpetual Mortification of the Shameful Flesh. However, I believe that there exists a school of thought that advises people to follow their instincts in such matters. I can but pass this advice on to you in the hope that you find it helpful.
With all hopeful thoughts for you
Mort
