Toast

Actually the type of quince tree I bought is £45 here (and that's a reduced price). I paid twenty quid. And no delivery charges.

I see you're having one of your moments.

I don't see why it's pointless. I was going to start a shopping thread but was careful to search first and found an existing thread which entertained me for a while. Others may also enjoy its randomness. WTF has Amazon got to do with it? My purchases yesterday were made at an outdoor event, not hunched over a laptop in a basement.

Is there anyone left in Parliament who isn't either untrustworthy, loathsome or inept? (Yes, I know some tick all those boxes.)

What does it mean if you dream that somebody extremely unattractive and exceedingly malodorous has sex with you while you are paralysed and unable to do anything about it?

I'm impressed that you spell memento right. Most people don't.

Not much gets past you, does it.

This thread is an interesting read - shame most of the links no longer work. Today I bought a stick of beeswax and a quince tree.

Or Ted Moult.

Sir James Dyson?

I live next door to an African person. He's white, though.

Why you being so racist?

Nah, I think the police did that when they turned up, along with six fire engines from 3 counties. 47 acres had already gone up in smoke though. I think the farm manager was next in the queue, as the fields had already been drilled and sown.

I should say at the outset that nobody died, but .... Yesterday a resident of our village decided that it would be a good idea to get rid of all his garden waste by having a bonfire on the edge of a stubble field. I think you can guess what happened next.

Yeah, I think I got that dude confused with Luis Echeverria.

It's way too late for that

So sorry, Phil, what a lovely dog. I do hope he won't be your last, there is always a piece of your heart that needs a dog to love.

No. I never met any my age either. I think Raymond is a cool name and due a revival.

It would be such a cool nickname if your real name was actually Ray. But I suspect it isn't.

He has Waiting on a QO, I think.

Might need to check that Clock.

I quite like the sound of that. Let me know when it's happening.

Indeed, I too would have been happy to find him in my suitcase.
