I must look at Nurse Myra, I've not had time to look at anything just lately, and she always lifts the spirits with a new comic tale.zmkchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972549292961948240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-63518197843811398252012-05-07T05:55:06.048+02:002012-05-07T05:55:06.048+02:00I find your loyalty to your primary school v touch...I find your loyalty to your primary school v touching.

I passed on my clever witty comment to the hostess, who said "Oh. You were talking to the architect's wife."<br /><br />Well... at this stage of the wine I couldn't be bothered. It did look like an ugly piss- and toilet-paper-extraction facility.<br /><br />Came here via Nursemyra btw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-16652080666475788622012-05-05T17:33:04.351+02:002012-05-05T17:33:04.351+02:00Lay off gold and black.

They were my old primary school colours and certainly matched our fingernails, right after a good game of marbles. <br /><br />As well, choosing them for the jockey's silks to pick Melbourne Cup winners has been pretty good to me in the past, especially in the right years. <br /><br />But yes, I have reservations about the new design. However perfectly matched to its surroundings it may be, I can't imagine anything more ideally suited to a ram raid on your bulging account.Denis Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786035137418348609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905080602885676490.post-47820536979850848672012-05-05T09:57:50.798+02:002012-05-05T09:57:50.798+02:00How awful.

I'd love to meet the people responsible for that decision.<br /><br />During an evening at my 'local' when I lived in Twickenham, I launched into a tirade against some new council offices and was surprised to see one man looking crestfallen. "Actually, I designed them", he admitted. I'd normally feel mortified, but as the buildings were so utterly appalling I'm afraid that I took a delight in watching him squirm.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.com
