I went to a ‘do’ once dressed as Max Wall. Obviously I wore tights. Someone complimented me on stuffing socks down them to make my knees a funny shape …… I hadn’t stuffed socks down them ….. I’m still depressed at the thought …..
Oh, you mean the Knotted Hankie who’s been seen over at the Top100.net which is accessible from the clever widget type thingy top right? …… nah, can’t be bothered ……. tee hee
I’ve just spend an hour of my very valuable retirement time trawling through that list. No where could I find this mysterious Knotted Hankie! Who is he? Who is he? (turning into the insufferable Nicki from BB)
Blimey! His Top Ten reads like a recipe for a heart attack! My daughter loves most of the food on there but being an ex heart attack person, I can’t indulge in any of it.
Which probably explains the tears on my toast
[I have a feeling that it won't even be soggy toast tonight - I'm thinking a glass of tepid water with a single curly ginger hair in it - {that's a quotish from Oscar Wilde BTW}]
Now i’m going to have to look up that quotish thingy….tsk, tsk and double tsk!
All my waking hours are taken up with the Tour de France (mountain excitement).
Hope TG’s eyes are OK, as a hayfever sufferer I know about teary eyes.
Luckily DP its only the eczema and food allergies I suffer from. The Hayfever gene missed me out but hit my youngest son who is probably crying in his toast right at this very moment. Thanks for the kind concern (hope you meant me in this commment. Getting sort of confused between my initials and your dear ladies.)
I put DP into Gurgle to see if more confusion could be spread, but I became so confused after reading the third entry that I had to have a lie down…..I’ve led a very sheltered life as you know…
Hmmm…..I found another Wilde quote that amused me…
“It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.”
He would’ve been happier reading blogs methinks….
This is wise advice for you DP… and so… in the interest of your health… I suggest you vow (and do whatever it takes) to make sure Lo, TG never ever has a reason to cry into the toast again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My goodness though, but aren’t you so fortunate that all the incredibly wise goddesses seem to somehow find your blog?
(Did I use enough of those exclamation marks to please you though? I know how much you like them, and was hoping to soften the blow it always is when a man learns he should do something for the good of his health…)
When I say grateful …… oh, never mind …. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …. [beat you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Are you talking about toad-in-the-hole Drowsey? Sausages in batter – my mum used to make it. Cheap, filling food that was very popular after the war and utterly scrumptious ……..

Tear stained toast? I remember partaking of some of that particular delicacy. It has a sort of salty taste
It isn’t bad but I prefer Marmite though …… [I'm now verrrry worried about Technogran ...... oh dear]
Don’t be! I probably had something in my eye whilst using the toaster! Either that, or crying with laughter.
Dammit – I was hoping for a desperate tale of doom and despair – you know, like losing an earring or snagging some tights ……
Don’t wear either. Allergic to both
I knew you had something to cry about!!!
true, oh so true! Damn those genes!
If you wore tights you’d have a coin slot.

You’re showing your age now.
….. and what’s worserer is I had a drink with him at the Greenwich theatre once ….. oh dear, there’s no hope …..
gosh you are that old!!!
He only died in 1990 you know …..
Sounds like a bitter-sweet diet. Still, if you get hungry, there’s a chap called Knotted Hankie who has a few suggestions…

I’m not allowed that stuff either ….. *sob*
Oh dear Technogran …… I hope there aren’t tears of frustration affecting your toast ….. [still desperately looking for some drama]
That’s the fellow. I feel he could be the next up-and-coming TV chef.
hmmm, not so sure about that……didn’t I hear something yesterday about taxing “fat” foods! Could be an expensive cook book!
I know I might sound a tad obsessive but has he every mentioned gingernuts?
‘every’!!!?!! ……. tsk
Currently nestling at a slightly-undervalued #13
Are you working your way through the Kama Sutra?
hehe… not on a Monday morning, sadly!
Oh blimey what’s to do??? I think TG needs a big old treat….
I agree ….. I’ll get her to cook me something extra special tonight …… good idea 70’s!!!!
mmmmm not exactly what I had in mind !!

Oooo – the TG ‘thing’ might be a problem …… excellent …. confusion is good!!!
I put DP into Gurgle to see if more confusion could be spread, but I became so confused after reading the third entry that I had to have a lie down…..I’ve led a very sheltered life as you know…
Crikey …… I’m NOT clicking on THAT!!!!
If you Google ‘Oscar Wilde + pink gin’ you might find the quote ……. hayfever is very good this year isn’t it?
Hmmm…..I found another Wilde quote that amused me…
“It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.”
He would’ve been happier reading blogs methinks….
He did come up with some crackers ….. I wonder if his dying words about the wallpaper was true ….
You had better watch the sodium content of that toast. Sounds like it could affect your blood pressure adversely.
The match of the day made me snort coffee on my keyboard. (Makes not not to sip coffee right before perusing Match of the Day)
For some reason the Matches of the Day are going to be quite good this week …… except one which I’m not too sure of ……

I am forever grateful for the plague of goddesses …… nuff said ……..
When I say grateful …… oh, never mind …. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! …. [beat you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Oooooo – I seem to have spilt over a tad ……
I think all goddesses (who’ve spent enough time around you) have grown used to the spillages. We love you anyway.
That’s a lovely thing to say Fraccy – I’m assuming you’re talking about the iPad …….
i suppose there are far worse body fluids that could be used to butter toast…
Tee hee …… I mean …… where’s the b****y delete button? …… yuk
You’d better make her some toad-in-the-hole
Ooooo – I haven’t had toad-in-the-hole for yonks …. *smacks lips*
is that a British delicacy?
Are you talking about toad-in-the-hole Drowsey? Sausages in batter – my mum used to make it. Cheap, filling food that was very popular after the war and utterly scrumptious ……..
