Ah yes, Valentine's Day.  Each year I have to contend with an enormous amount of post that is dumped through my letter box from all my many admirers.  This year, due to increasing worldwide adulation, the post office has contracted 'Blog Air' to brings cards of love and admiration from my frantic, fawning 'followers' from the four corners of the globe.  And just when you thought the world was round.   So, I now await the convoy of postal vehicles that will arrive outside my house.  I'm just...

Fair enough, maybe your name aint Shirley.   What this posting is going to demonstrate is how to get the gist of a posting.  That way, you can skim through the posting that is basically a waste of your time, pick out a key word or sentence and perhaps leave some kind of comment.   This would come in very handy if those who write those blogs that are just too damned long, highlighted key words or sentences, so we could glance though their on and on and on posting and give some vague, insincere...

You may have heard the expression, or if you are into fancy words, the idiom, 'step up to the plate'.   It basically means to take on a challenge or a responsibility.  To initiate action. It is also is a literal reference when a baseball player steps up to home plate to take a turn at batting against a pitcher.  You might be familiar with the game of baseball.  If you live in Britain, you may consider baseball a form of glorified rounders or cricket in an alternate reality.  I've had a varied...

Hi there, yes, tis I, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star.  And lucky you.   This is my first pawsting of 2012. In the above photo I am waiting patiently for a certain young man to take me for a walk.   And I wait and I wait, outside the bathroom door.  Funny how I always have to wait for him.  Time really does depend on which side of the bathroom door you're on. If he doesn't hurry up, Tristan may well find a nasty surprise waiting for him in the hallway!  And no, I don't... Read Full Story

Definition of tart : 1:  Having a sharp and rather sour taste. 2:  Sharp or bitter in tone or meaning. 3:  A pastry case, especially one without a top, with a sweet or savoury filling. 4:  A promiscuous woman.  The often unisexual nature of modern slang ensures that the meaning of 'tart' in this context can also be applied to promiscuous males.   There are variations to this, such as 'tarted up', which basically means getting dressed up in a potentially garish way.   Y'all might call, tarted...

Welcome to 2012.  And just when I'd got myself familiarised with where everything was in the store in 2011, the store decides to have a bit of a laugh. Do you know what I mean?   I go into the store and head straight down the cereal aisle only to discover that the boxes of cereal have vanished and have been replaced with various brands of dog and cat food.  Suddenly, I wonder if I've entered a parallel universe, an alternate reality, or maybe entered the wrong store. And so, visualise this, I... Read Full Story
