    It must have been South Wales - North Walians prefer bacon with their breakfast fry-up

      I bet Lord Lloyd's Bank is busy composing a whole musical around that mousey 'tune' at this very moment. 'For Cheese A Jolly Gouda Fellow' praps?

        A lens implant, done years ago, has become detached and,in his words, is swishing around at the bottom of his vision. An op and a replacement are due, but as he attends the same eye clinic that I do I know everything there takes ages.
        He is still writing his reviews for Music Webb and makes a joke of it. Get treated soon Mahlerei.

        And Bestio
        Yes best wishes to Mahlerei - he is sadly missed.

          And South Walians prefer laverbread coated in oatmeal with their bacon fry-ups!! One Nation, two separate languages and traditions. Why don't we unite and conquer the world! Of course, you would need to talk tidy like!

              Thank you! It was dreadfully wet when I left this morning, and looking at the news online, it seems that E Scotland had it really bad last night. In Haworth it is dry and sunny, though cold.

                I thought up the "cheese a good fellow" pun, mind!

                  Well, Thomas Ravenscroft wrote "three blind mice" so a precedent has been set.

                    Better hurry & find the evidence, S_A - or else Hornspieler's Purge will have obliterated it for all eternity

                      Never mind Ams - I had a dose of someone else's purge yesterday; the world fell out of my bottom, taking my identity with it, and today I feel just great!

                        I don't see why mice can't sing- mine has only uttered curses as I try to get it working.

                          Aha, the old 'world fell out of my bottom syndrome' aka a Flock of Seagulls?

                            Shouldn't you be cooking?

                            "...the isle is full of noises,
                            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                              I am cooking, thank you so much for reminding me of women's place in society.

                                No, i'm sure it's not that. From the evidence on these boards Caliban thinks
                                (and i agree) that you are such a good cook that you should use every opportunity to demonstrate your skills with the skillets.
