Probably dissolve the tiles !

I'm impressed he has a shower and not just a tin bath in front of the fire

[Stephen]

Nothing wrong with a tin bah in front of the fire. Nippy round the Urals this time of year though down the garden.

[Mervyn and Trish]

With your torn up Sun eh?

The Telegraph is better - the print doesn't come off so much !

You need a "broadsheet" then Cubie?

[qbman1]

Definitely. I did try the Financial Times but pink didn't suit me !

[qbman1]

Is it just me, or does Lucy Worsley always look as though she is in the middle of an erotic fantasy ?!

[Mervyn and Trish]

I wonder if said fantasy involves anyone here?

[Stephen]

I was thinking the same Merv. Just the nurses uniform missing

[Mervyn and Trish]

That's how Cubie likes them. With the uniform missing......

[Stephen]

Afraid those days are gone - it's more like this now...

That's what happens when you go onto the companies private health scheme

[Mervyn and Trish]

Is she the humanitarian crisis the Red Cross were talking about?

[Stephen]

I thought it was Hattie Jacques mum

[qbman1]

Looks a bit like the nurse I went out with in the eighties - she hasn't aged well, though !

[Stephen]

Yes, she looks blind.

[Mervyn and Trish]

And a bit daft

[Stephen]

Well, thank god the blizzard has past. just need to get the dust pan and brush out to clear it away

Maybe the Beeb was over reacting a bit, just like they do with most news items nowadays.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Two flakes fell consecutively on the south. That's a crisis

[Stephen]

Just waiting for the news to say the country has ground to halt. I'm amazed the schools are still open. Normally it's two flakes and it's shut shop.

[towny44]

If you believed all the bad news on the Beeb life would not be worth living, fortunately their news, weather and political pundits all operate on the glass half empty principle whereas mine is always half full, with a bottle ready to top it up when needed.

[Stephen]

Sounds good to me John. Single malt I hope

[Mervyn and Trish]

The bad news on "the news" is actually a good sign. What makes news is stuff which is unusual. Coastal towns not flooded isn't news. A flood is. And so on.
