Our Gatineau correspondent has gone quiet since Feb 28th. Is he laid up following some DIY accident?

Yes, lets hope for an uncomplicated nipple/roller collision.

No sinister reasons. I've just been horribly busy of late for sundry reasons and didn't have time to bugger around on here. I've now come up for air, so expect the random prattlings to start again.

Buggering around? Coming up for air? Please, this is a family channel.

Were you watching Are You Being Served last night or summat?

I had a vast amount of work on, coupled with extended-family issues that took up all my attention and time. Playing around on here was not an option. Simples.

Novocastrian is a big fan of Mrs Slocombes pussy. Alledgedly.

Good to have you back. You need to ensure work doesn't get in the way of buggering around on the internet. Priorities man!

Having lived in Canada for over 20 years, it's only natural to have watched this programme. What else is there?

But to be honest I've always fancied the ponce.

I too have missed Souvy!

It's a good job there were other suspects for Boston isn't it.

I managed to have a Souvy type accident today by getting my leg bashed by the car door. More specifically I was sitting in the car with one leg on the ground when the wind slaamed the door onto my leg. Ouch I cried.

Always a nasty one.

Anytime you need the door to stay still a mini hurricane arrives.

Exactly so, and then a bug bit me on the other leg. The first bugbite of 2013.

That's just bad coordination
You should have gotten the door to squash the bug before it managed to bite your leg
Would have been much more efficient

I bashed my head on the wing today walked straight into it!
( was going to write that I bashed my head on my flaps but saw exactly where that conversation would end up !)

It was the other leg, and the bug was at work. It may have been a customer related bug.

Rather worrying about the wing walking (into) Just how crowded is the sky?
