What Kind Of Weird Is This?

Welcome, welcome, welcome to our brand new home ........... it might take a little while to rejig things and get everything as it was on "the other side", but for now, the eagles have landed and are busy feathering their nest  ........... we'll just carry on exactly where we left off, all be it with a new name (and web address), in true bulldog spirit, but questions will be asked in Parliament!

Nigel was out mooching in town yesterday afternoon when he happened upon this rather peculiar playset.


……. consisting of what appeared to be blue French fries that looked more like cotton buds, a gargantuan peanut, a rather cute fish that was too big for the dish he’d been put on, a bunch of orange bananas that was smaller than the cotton bud chips, a miniscule roast chicken and a pair of what are obviously some sort of magic mushroom  …….. 

…….. not to mention a tiny, two ringed hob and accompanying pot that is completely incapable of holding any of said weird food, all making any imaginative play nigh on impossible without inducing nightmares!  


Needless to say, no considered £2 purchase was made, with Nigel seriously contemplating whether questions should be asked in Parliament as to the possible adverse affects such a toy could have on an impressionable young mind! What is he like?

This out-of-scale monstrocity - nay, carbuncle - reminded me of the delightful giant nativity scenes one sees in Mexican churches. A chicken can be bigger than an elephant or a giraffe.

Hi Boys.

So sorry to hear (and see...) about your blog. I've had a word with my husband who's a retired software developer and he thinks the problem with your images may have to do with a bandwidth setting on blogger - it goes back to the days of dialup when images took an age to download. Instead of all the images being downloaded onto the screen at once, the viewer would simply click on the image number to show it.

Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it.

Oh goodness I’m so sorry to hear about all your blogging problems, and sorry you’ve had to say goodbye to the horse box man too. I hope he finds somewhere nice for the next chapter of his life on the open road xx
Wishing you lots of luck finding all your life history so far, and thank you for showing such an indomitable spirit in the face of such adversity. Onwards and upwards!
