You didn't take part in the infamous incident on the pool table Eric?

Actually I have seen wild deer, several times, up our very own Coppice. I used to take the dog for early walks (about 5am) up there and never failed to see deer at that time of the morning.

I don't think so ... but I was in walking black out at the time ... and I haven't heard about it. Remember the scene in Dirty Harry, the guy on the ground looks into the muzzle of the 457 magnum and says: "I gots to know"? So what was it?

I gots to know.

I think they say 3 or 4 a week, it's because of the cholesterol. I don't know how we managed to live past middle age, 50 years ago. All those eggs, it's a wonder people weren't dropping like flies.

Thread wander back to deer; my dad saw one on the pitch at Accy CC just a few weeks ago.- not a huge one but big enough;it ran off towards the phone mast and disappeared in the direction of the railway.

I remember the advert the first time round and I don't think it made people eat too many eggs, just appreciate the nutritional value - or have a laugh at Hancock.

So, sorry Nanny, I think you're a very silly old woman and..................OK Nanny, I'll go and stand in the corner.........

Whilst we argue amongst ourselves over one issue or another (currently eggs) the government is inexorably enmeshing us into the EU by stealth. I wonder what bad news is being buried whilst the egg debate rages?

I had my annual coronary check-up recently that included taking at least an armful of blood after starving and going thirsty except for water - ugh! (they call it fasting) for 16 hours and my cholesterol reading was 3.4. No doubt down to my daily intake of Simvastatin.

I eat between 4 and 6 eggs every week, fried (with fried dry cure bacon butties), scrambled (on toast buttered with real butter) or soft boiled.

So nanny can bleat all she likes because I will continue to ignore her and eat everything in moderation. Including strawberries and double cream, a selection of cream cakes plus red meat, home made chips done in beef dripping etc.
