Yesterday it was a bit cold here, and B said I think we'll have beans on toast for lunch. I said: Put a jumper on, we're having salad!

Putting jumpers on toast could be bad for your teeth, anyway they could jump of and run away.

recently got one of those round robin emails which I thought was quite amusing so I'll pass it on here
These are from a book called Disorder in the Canadian Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Good ones! This happened yesterday, while I was helping in a temporary cafe at the Museum, to celebrate the national Heritage Days. Five buildings in Wells opened parts that aren't normally accessible to the public, and most of them laid on tea and cakes .. A man and wife, perfectly ordinary, middle-aged, came in at the end of a busy and successful day, stood in front of our FREE cakes and biscuits baked by volunteers - Man: We've just come from the Deanery and their cakes were lovely, you really ought to go and have a look and see how it's done. This isn't very good at all... ;D ;D

Phoned Dad this evening, wondering if he was home from hospital and how he was feeling. Learned he'd gone home at 9am then gone down to Weymouth for the day.

I got this of a mate's facebook ... dunno it if is true Just found out why people in Stoke call everyone 'Duck'. It's nothing to do with quacking or high camp. Instead its etymology goes back to the Saxon word 'ducas' or 'duc', which itself comes from the Latin 'dux', meaning leader or commander. It was used in Saxon times as a term of respect and is the root of the modern word 'duke'. So nothing to do with birds and everything to do with a Saxon word for 'sir'. Just thought I'd share a discovery, that's all... It's also used in Derbyshire in the same way as Staffordshire but then north Staffs and Derbyshire used to share a dialect, that in which the Arthurian 'Sir Gawain & the Green Knight' was written in the 14th cent., which is even set in the Staffordshire Moorlands around the Roaches and Lud's Church. We're living history here. (I already knew that bit about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight being set around here ... )
