Here's your first line:

As the plane touched down, I looked out of the window and recoiled at the sight of a large crocodile clinging to the wing, a knowing smile playing on his rubbery, teeth-revealing lips...*

It doesn't have to be completely factual Plummy!

*this will have to be changed at a later date

Sad should have her rainbow now. I'm still waiting for BG to figure out how to send a picture.

Stiffy is nominated as a GOW. The last but one person to mistake my gender was -Dirona.

Plum stared at the croc desperately, then in a flash of Anitipodean inspiration gave it 'the look' and a finger-wiggle like wot Crocodile Dundee did. "Take that you wannabe handbag" she said as the now slumbering croc plummeted earthwards, landing on two dodgy looking dingoes.

Right KJ, I've just taken a picture of myself and I'm sending it to you. It's crap so keep it to yourself.

Can't get a sodding signal now!!!

BG is having a phone nightmare ...

Grump:

It's 'crap band' practice night, several houses away.

They sound like those flute playing peeps in ponchos were they unable to sing in tune and had had too many magic mushrooms and/or tequila.


PS Where's Babe Rainbow when you need her?

good eveningg...am on a course...in Hertfordshire

I probably need to lose this one too.

As far as your noise problem - it sounds... interesting. I suppose popping round and asking to join in is out of the question?

snOwy - I hope you're staying somewhere nice.

I wonder how Plum's novel about the flying crocodile is coming along...

Here, we got the laptop and he's very happy. I'm not completely unhappy as I somehow managed to get *a deal*. And I didn't even flirt!!!

*splutters*
Yeah, right... :you flirt like you *breathe*

I second Stiffy as a GOW.
He/she's got what it takes!

snowy, you're being very professionally developed lately! Colour me impressed!

And is that an oinous silence I hear from Iggy's end of things? We'll shelter you from the authoritites, iggy, if you've done something desperate!

Plum - *I* think you're funny. And I've seen some bloody awful writing over the years, so I should know what's good and what ain't! (((((((((((hugz)))))))))))))))

Here, we're both late, both knackered and taking it out on each other. Oh joy, oh rupture...

Double post so deleted. I'm a silly sausage today.

Ignazio - Kitchen update ?

New bathroom arrived. I'm taking pix of the bathroom as it goes along. Keep your fingers crossed that Himself and I get through this. He keeps calling things in Engineer speak and I refer to things in a Pixie way. If I don't know what something is called I describe it i.e. knitted flexible pipe. My description of the knitted flexible pipe resulted in 20 minutes argument. He also refers to sizes as "mils". I say millimetres or centimetres. To me if someone says "mils" they are refering to millilitres.

At the moment the bath is in the hall along with the basin and pedestal that have to go back. The floorboards and plaster board for the walls are in the dining room and living room, the shower screen is in the kitchen and the new toilet and cistern is in #3 Slavettes bedroom. The taps and other bathroom fitments like AWOL. Don't even want to know where they have been delivered. Other stuff like tiles and pipes are in various locations round the house.

Himself is away to the tip and I'm trying to ignore the gin in the cupboard.

There's nothing like home improvements to test your paticence, is there, PQ?
I'm not sure which is worse, bathrooms or kitchens. I remeber having our bathroom done and the entire house was in utter upheaval for days and days - horrible.
Was worth it, though. Still get a warm glow from looking at the nice white tiles with the blue mosaic bit and the inset lights in the lovely waterproof suspended ceiling!

The kitchen ceiling looks as if it's all about to fall in

Himself dropped a spanner/wrench/big tool thingy when more water spurted from the "wrong" pipe according to him.

yoo hoo.....have started my Christmas shopping

Noooooooo snOwy!!! Stop!!! Wait until December!!!

That's a compliment, right?

Calling the insurance in the morning.

It had to happen. Himself put his foot through the kitchen ceiling as he stood back to admire his pipework and forgot there was no floor. Himself isn't a small bloke - think of a 16 stone Fred Flintstone. My fault of course 'cos I was in the upstairs landing clearing up and putting his various tools away and I didn't remind him to stay on the joists.

Oh well. I think it's gin o'clock as I can't go lie in a nice warm bath before bed.

Ignazio - Kitchen news?

I know it's a school night - I'm working tomorrow and tomorrow I work from home. Can I please have someone say "It's OKAY. Have another grown up alcoholic drink" ... please ?

I've had the other grown up drink.

Ignazio - I'll have one for you x

There is no hope for you. None.


Sure is

((((((((PQ)))))))) - is it as bad as it looked last night?

I think Iggy might have gone on the run...

It looks worse

I hope Ignazio hasn't committed murder and been hauled away to the jail.

Oh and the taps and waste thing and the other thingies haven't even been dispatched yet .

A huuuuuuuuge one.

Here, my week of getting almost nothing done continues...

A supreme compliment

Have several. Have them for me - I have to wait until tomorrow or there's a genuine chance I wouldn't get to work tomorrow morning....

You are officially weird. Warped. Twisted.

Swap?

Poor PQ! You deserve another one of those grown-up drinks tonight! *pats PQ gently in a soothing manner*

batty - who wants to bloody *do* anything?
If you don't want to swap with Sad you can swap with me and analyse my cocking exam results for me. Only taken me three cocking hours so far... one question to go...

Both cars into the garage and back again today - one replacement window motor, one flat back tyre. It's just one big social whirl round here...

Well, BG and KJ have written the first two instalments of Plum's novel, so I for one am waiting for you (at least) to write the third. I want to know what happens next.

Good evening..what is Torchwood all about?
