I'm Not Sure I Agree


Surely there's something innately improper about spraying graffiti inside a train carraige ?

Last and Definitely Least

Until recently the priorities in my husband’s life were:

1. his woman business partner
2. the cat
3. the dog
4. our daughter
5. my mother
6. me

He has now gone off with his business partner.

Clear As Mud

The man from the Ministry in Edinburgh confessed yesterday that it was a ‘gritty problem’. He added:” We have not been able to make great progress. I can tell you, though, that we are at the moment stirring it up a bit. We are taking stock of the situation, but since we haven’t yet taken stock, I cannot say, of course, what we have taken stock of.” It was, he said, “an urgent thing that we should want to see done, but on the longer term basis of urgency.”

What A Lot Of Rubbish

Nine in ten of us have up to £1,000-worth of unused items in our homes, while one in three has enough clutter to fill an average-sized bedroom, with a third of Britons still hanging on to VHS and tape cassettes. Women tend to feel guilty about ditching clutter, while men become nostalgic when having a clear-out.

Every time I start clearing the clutter and manage to fill a box or two, I get sidetracked and leave the rest for another day. By which time the clutter has grown.

A Serious Enquiry

This may sound silly, but I want to know whether I should keep my eyes open or closed when I kiss my boyfriend. Most of the time my boyfriend has his eyes closed and I don’t know what to do myself.
