That's the one - right hand side, lower house. It's about 100 yards long, and one room wide.

No flame tip Persian here.

I've crashed a car on a narrow mountain road, faced muggers with knives in their hands, been swept out to sea while swimming, and written my maths finals; today I was reminded what real fear is - the sound of the drill starting up in the dentist's hands.

I accuse Professor Plum, in the kitchen, with the gun.

It's said that a cleryman among the accused caused a knee-jerk reaction in the States.

Surely that is a "jerk reaction "?

I'm not disagreeing.

Quite so but I am a conservative clergyman.

Dr Fillit, in the pantry, with a drill.

Fsn, I was in error, the catwiki reports that the flame tips have not extended their range north of Aberdeenshire. I Like the picture, a serious place committed to survival.

Very good, Bill. 

Took a second to reference that to Alexander's post !!

I'm NEVER going back to the dentist after Matey made such a complete hash of it last time.
I ended up using a pair of small bent nosed pliers to remove half of one tooth myself.

What makes it worse is that he was trying to remove a tonsil.

It wasn't actually that painful, Ian......It did bleed rather copiously, though.

The other half of the tooth is still in there......I'll leave that.

I reckon that WOULD hurt....LOTS, if I tried to remove it.

(And I'm leaving my tonsils where they are.)

Went into hospital to have my tonsils removed aged 7 or 8.

Wasn't sure what was going to happen and developed a nervous cough.

Had my tonsils removed and was back in the ward about to have ice cream and jelly when the consultant came in on his rounds. Heard my cough and said,"Better send him home, we can't operate on him, he's got whooping cough!"

Ward Sister looks stricken and says,"He's just back from surgery."

Instant panic, much running about by staff followed by much poking and prodding by concerned doctors.

Almost six weeks off school while I recovered ... Yay!

Never did get that ice cream and jelly ...

Bonus and bogus in equal measures.

Right......Who wants to have a quick sweep-stake.....Just for fun.

How many times has Leon checked Pendraken emails on his phone, while he's been having well deserved break ?

I'll go for 15.....Though I reckon that'll be way too low.

And we'll have to take his word for it when he returns.

I think Milady's charms will keep his attention off the email. 

So I vote 0. 

He dragged Milady up Coniston Old Man yesterday, so he might be in the dog house today! 

The only way you could know that, Will.....Is, if he's posted something on faceache...or if you sent him an email, and he's already replied.

So that's ONE look at his phone, at the very minimum.

Cheers - Phil

Milady posted it... 

Grrrrr....

Argh...

Etc...

Over the summer we gutted the old shower area to become a futility room. However, the plumber has failed to check the drain (despite being told explicitly to do so), two hours of using the neighbour's drain rods, and it's completely blocked still.
Glad I checked the washer before running a full load!
