Op North was good. Highlights included riding the 125 bike, seeing Bill’s wood, and eating halibut.

Washing clothes every day sounds like some sort of personal hell to me!

No time to post – off sailing!

Personally I don’t like doing my washing every day. I agree with the recommendation for a couple pairs of trousers and jumpers sure but prefer infinite pairs of socks, pants and t-shirts so that you don’t have to do the washing very often. When I went to India I had two t-shirts, a pair of trousers, a pair of shorts and about four sets of undergarments.

And yes I am a lucky gentlemen in that the magic fairy does deposit clean washing at the end of the bed 🙂

It’s come to my attention that a chap only needs two sets of clothes. One he wears, the other he washes. The washed clothes he hangs outside to dry. Bringing them inside to finish the drying process off, he suspends them from some handy horizontal slats outside the bathroom. Fresh from his morning shower on the day of changeover, he reaches upwards, slides off the sweet smelling, newly laundered articles, and slips into them. He then scoops up his collection of soiled, Billy-reeking linen and takes it out to his washing machine, where he adds his trusty Yongee Ball, and the cycle begins again.

Many suggest this should be a daily process, particularly for old goats. Personally, at this time of year, I recommend a twice weekly changeover.

Of course, this is for chaps who do their own washing. Chaps who don’t, and don’t send it out to reappear in sealed brown packets by special delivery, and don’t frequent their local laundrette, but find their folded linen appearing magically on their shelves on a regular basis, don’t know what they’re missing. For this, they remain eternally grateful.

As we say in Barnham, “Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.”

said Gavin and bloody hell, he got cured!

Obviously I am biased but did you know that the prosecution allege that after the stupid documentary and while the police were investing Mr Jackson and the wicked “victim’s” family saying how MJ was like an angel and a father to them… then Michael started abusing him and only then; after the docunmentary had aired. And while they were touring around and spending loads of money they were actually kidnapped.

Also they sued a store they had just been caught shop lifting from because they say the security guards molested them. As did the kids father says the mother. As did another chap too they say. And his mum prized thousands of pounds of money for Gavin’s treatment from other celebrities and spent it on herself since they were medically insured all along.

Now if Macauley Culkin or one of Mj’s celebrity friends’ kids comes along and says “MJ did me”. Fine. But this lot?! Flog ’em and send the mother to a mental institution (the one she was in before will do).

Winge over 🙂

I actually played a football match for 90 mins yesterday as a lone striker since we only had 10 players. This entails racing four defenders to every ball hoofed up the end you are attacking. I started off rather well but after the 18 stone goal keeper and I had run headlong into each other trying to get to the ball first I developed substantial bruising. By the last half hour I and the rest of the team were walking wounded trying desperately to keep limping at a reasonable pace and utterly devoid of any energy or ability. We lost one-nill and today i ache like nobodies business. Think I should stick to Pro Evo Soccer4 – I’m good at that at least.
