      I buy a lottery ticket every week in the hope I will one day get lucky. Each week I look at the smaller Houses in country life and think that would do just right .

      When the Lotto first started, I got all 6 numbers in one go

      Sadly it was only worth £20 as there were 3 numbers on one line and 3 on the other

      So not to worry, just plod on like usual, besides if everything went smoothly for me I would have nothing (interesting anyway?) to moan write about.

        That's odd.

        Malic acid (the principal flavour in apples) has the same effect on me.

              No Clever, you got it right once before, She went to the School of Cordoned Off cookery

              Last week I tried some Chocolate Gateaux she had made, only a small potion mind. It had 90% cocoa and 110% rum in it. It took me 2 day's to get over it.

              I bought her a sign to Hand up in the kitchen, many have eaten here. but few have died.

              Next week I am changing the wording

              Regards, Handy

                        How much would they charge to deliver a bottle of £3 cider

                        I only like pear cider anyway.

                            Hi all, sorry for not posting for the last few days. My Black mood led to a force 9 on the Richter scale row between Mrs Handy and myself on Friday night.

                            The weekend was a total lazy one, I feel frustrated that I didn't get any work done but when I wasn't on here all I did was sleep.

                            The only thing that has kept the peace is the antics of the Cat.

                            She has been into everything, she now cry's the place down when I take the dogs for a walk and she isn't invited along.

                            At the moment she's fast asleep between two Labs and a terrier and couldn't care less.

                            Two things to sort out today, a £92.00 penalty charge from Squawk Squawk for early termination of my contract

                            And a notice from Post Office insurance for my Car renewal saying that they will renew automatically at the end of the month unless I contact them. I certainly did, telling them I had the same provider for £100.00 less. Nice Bloke but he tried to say that next year (the New Provider - Same company would not allow me the same no Claims).

                            The conversation with the Squawk Numpty didn't get me very far.
                            So now It's a formal letter of complaint to the Head Office.
                            I thought my contract had ended but apparently I was on a 24 month one. When I said I wanted compensation for the loss of my broadband service I was told as it was included FOC they could not compensate for something they didn't charge for.

                            As I have only had free broad band for less than 2 years and I opened the account 2 1/2 years ago I think I have a case, besides If you offer something free as part of a package then don't deliver on the free part, in my book that is a breach of contract.

                            I will keep you posted, but I won't hold my breath s the CEO went to Oxford with Cameron

                            So It looks like I'm up against another branch of the Hooray's.

                            As to HL she's on form again. She had me dig up a 15 foot tall tree and move it today, then asked why it had taken me so long?
                            Over an hour with a pick to remove 1 cubic meter of soil and then stake it into the ground. That's not even thinking about how long to dig it out without wrecking the roots.

                            I am afraid my reply wasn't too polite.

                            Regards all, Handy

                              Cheeky buggers!

                              Have you told their Chief Numpty about his company's repeated failure to provide an adequate broadband service?

                                I have a stick...I could get an NHS crutch if you require it Handy? What about manure o/s the head office? Might well be worth the petrol
