Fereday - soon to be appearing on a table near ? - LJN Blog Posts

Just back from London - spent two hours in a room with a bunch of blokes discussing regulation at one of the trade associations.... well, we're all consenting adults and no one gets hurt....It was only a day trip today, so Mildred the capacious back pack was left home alone... but I am back in time to brainlessly fester in the lounge in front of evening telly...I've brought Fereday back a copy of the London Evening Standard and he is now flicking through the job adverts looking for options for when we move down to 'the smoke' - telemarketing has been ruthlessly dismissed (thank god, I don't want to live with a man who spends half the day togged up with a headset like Madonna)....table dancing has been put on the 'possible' list.... he tells me that a good sense of humour is apparently very sexy.... not sure if he means his good sense of humour or that of the potential audience - from a money making perspective, I think it would have to be the latter.... particularly if he's planning on using some of his gardening clobber in his 'set'... that clear visor hardhat thingy ain't gonna hide much..... and now he's typically distracted by something shiny, i.e., the colour photo of the gold inflatable bunny which is hanging in Covent Garden until Sunday.....Good to be home, though... good to be home...

Hi all,I'm erecting a close board timber fence in clay soil. Due to the clay and poor drainage I'm thinking of using fence spikes. Would clay be suitable? Would it provide enough stability for a 1.8 mt high fence? I'm considering using 15cm wide…

"I tend to look at things from their perspective, whilst also hoping to educate them of the benefits of a thriving ecosystem - so in your case, I'd have probably started with questions right back like "why do you want to get rid of them?" or "what do…"

"I talk to customers and do my best to gently subvert them into taking more care over their 'neighbours'. I point out piles of little stones that show the entrances to worm burrows and where ground and wall bees are nesting.
Most are fascinated and…"

His baldricks don't cover much and would bring the White Rose into disrepute.... but, still, it's an option....

Just thought - when I commented 'arse', I was quoting from the Fast Sgow clip, not being mean to anyone!!!

No, but I spend most of my communicating life in written form, so I try to be sensitive to how things can be mis-read and mis-interpreted.... I'm still haunted by finding among the comments my boss had made on a draft report: "Please justify".... this prompted me to re-write and add about 10 more pages to set out my argument in minute detail.... The upshot was that "Please justify" was a request to format the paper so that the text lined up on the left and right!!!!!

I didn't assume anything else, anyway if I did I am well used to such critique - after all you only have to read some of my blogs and then realise that I actually chat to my wife about such things, (at length), to guess I have a very thick skin. I have to admit it is much easier to write my blogs when you are busy churning out your brilliant blogs as mine can go straight through the radar. Imagine signing up to the LJN clicking on the blog page to be confronted by some of my stuff - Philip Voice would quite rightly be a little dismayed. Off to watch some more Bob Flemming clips - this one almost gave me a hernia - Folkin Classics
