More discoveries ...
Having to wait for an office "dinner party" has its advantages. Work out of the way, I can catch up on some blogs I have discovered. One affording me some insights at present is that of a lady titled "Practical Penumbra" with some pithy comments on a wide range of issues political on the US scene. Her tale of plumbing woes at her place of work is hilarious. Sounds like the male equivalent of Harry Potter's ghostly "Moaning Myrtle" is at work.
On a more serious note, it is nice to find that I have a compatriot who agrees with me that a great deal of the BBC's supposedly "objective" debate is not objective at all. Read it for yourself at "An Englishman's Castle" - I agree entirely with his sentiments at the crass stupidity of the pseudo-intelectual b*ll*cks that can smilingly compare Jesus Christ with a suicide bomber. It is deeply offensive and the perpetrator should be prosecuted under the new law against "stirring up religious animosity" or whatever its called. Try saying something like this about any other religions most sacred person - you'll be in court so fast your feet won't touch ground!
Ah well, come the revolution ......

Thanks for the kind words!!! My assistant did have the commode exorcized on my day off...unfortunately, the ladies' rooms provide more opportunities for a determined evil spirit; I'm considering a pre-emptive blessing ceremony of some sort....

Susie's pre-emptive blessing ceremony apparently begins with sending folks over to visit. It worked for me, now about those thousands of secret admirers she has...
Nice photo album too. You can never have too many tall ships.

Susie, exorcism of the "Comfort Stations" is a serious business - especially if the plumber can't find the right tools! Serious high pressure jets have been tried in the past, but there are some interesting consequences if the blockage is downstream of another set of commodes! Trust me, I have personal experience of this.
Watch this space Ted, I am working up my collection of ships ...
