Well here it is my lovely chocolate, selection box - packed full of artery hardening
cholesterol .:) , also pictured is the assortment of other things I could have chosen.
Like the - Xmas serviettes, empty green bottle or even the …..magnetic bracelet….
…..as I’m not pregnant :)
I have a confession - unfortunately I deleted the picture of the wonderful plastic table lights , which on the face of it , is probably just as well – considering - but I may get another photo to show you the real horror of this item :)
There were other things - like the usual array of - socks , scarves and
gloves , and of course - the odd things that people only seem to get at Xmas .
This included - a pen with a radio in it , which seemed like a good idea , until you found out the radio cord was too short , so you couldn’t listen and write at the same time :)
So I think my choice is pretty good - except I’ve eaten it all – heart attack ahoy :)
SEVERE WEATHER WARNING ! ! ! .
--------------------------------
The above phrase has become so common place in the U.K. recently , that its meaning has totally and utterly - disappeared , and is further reinforced by merest threat of a slight snowfall in the South of England - immediately has the B.B.C putting on a half hour program on about it …………
“Conveniently” - forgetting of course , that the rest of the country has had over eight inches ( 20cm) of snow covering it with sub zero temperatures , for at least two and a half weeks……………. with a forecast of more to come……and yes I’m back on my mountain bike in case you are wondering :)
I had a little wry smile to myself as the B.B.C. insisted on adding further fuel to the fire with their reporter, who was stood on a street with about half an inch ( 1cm ) of snow on the pavement , next to a road that was completely clear , and even had cyclists riding up and down it - reporting the doom and gloom .
What made it even funnier , was the reporter was saying in an almost hysterical tone that the authorities even had the army and police in , to help get food to the old
people !!!............
,,,,,,,,,,,.sorry I can just imagine the poor army breaking out the Snow Cats to drive along the perfectly clear and dry roads , passing all the old people going to the shops as they did so , both - wondering what on earth was going on ……………:)
Needless to say the snow never happened in the majority of the south , and the
B.B.C are back to merrily reporting the news - of a cat in a tree , a politician breaking a fingernail or a…………
……SEVERE WEATHER WARNING …
……..of light rain and a chilly breeze in the south …
…..F**K ME …………better call out the Navy :)
