ReplyDeleteHi Doug :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat word and I love the update!
a plaudit for the person who wrote the update. OK I know that's bad but true. Just can't get into the curmudgeon spirit
ReplyDeleteYou say plaudit, I say eclat, let's call the whole thing off.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Nessa.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Karen.
Yeah, Quilly, or these days a web link.
Well done, Conan.
Bear, there are a lot of roads heroes take, but stabbing an official is probably the straightest.
Only on a bus, Thom.
Hey, Kyah! Look, everyone- Kyah's back!
Pia, I think we've established the division of labor here. I'll handle the grouching if grouching needs to be done.
Hahaha, TLP. Con brio!
Actonbell, that sounds like a workday.
Quilly, I was afraid you'd take my reply that way. I meant generally, not quillily.
