I think he was doing it for himself.....he looked like he was the boss.....as for EU regulations....he put two fingers up to those.
(Think he had the right idea with that one).

He won't have been doing it for himself, no man would set himself to such hard work voluntarily, I bet he got home late from his works Passover party. His misses will have been in nagging mode, in his mellow state he'll have tried to placate her by asking what she really wanted for Passover and this is the task she has stuck him with.

Yes, you could be right, except he seemed to be doing it with gusto.....not like he had been ordered to do it by 'er indoors'........very unlike a recalcitrant spouse.

He was doing it with gusto because when he woke up with a hangover he went downstairs and his missus was telling her mother what he was going to do, he might have got away with telling his beloved that there wasn't enough time to build it, but tell his Ma-in-law? no chance, not if he wants to live.

Yes Retlaw, it is clear that we both know the poem recited by Stanley Holloway.
One of my favourites!

Yes Margaret. there are 48 of those poems written by Walter Marriot Edgar, I have all three books, when the kids were little it was their favourite bed time storey, they did let me read them some of the others, till I knew most of them by heart, can still quote bits of all of them, but not all,the way thro, as they were fast asleep with smiles on their faces before I got to the end. Now one of my daughters recites Albert n Lion to my grandson.

[Margaret Pilkington]

I have one book of the monologues.....last year when the house had to be cleared of stuff......I almost, almost put it in the charity bag......but decided at the last minute there was still some pleasure to be had from this book.
I like 'Brahn Boots'.......and the Albert ones....and Sam Sam Pick up Thi Musket......in fact I don't think there is a bad one in the book.

Is it wrong to break with tradition every now and then Margaret?

After all, you, I, and the other four members of AccyWeb are supposed to be miserable, expletive deleted's.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Oh yes, I had quite got carried away and forgotten to be the miserableness that some people expect.
Forgive me. I will go away now and take two of my miserable pills....se if that can put me back where I belong.....in the slough of despond.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Oops.....how did that smiley get in there when I am supposed to be miserable ?

[Margaret Pilkington]

Gone are the days when I laughed so much the tears ran down my legs.

It's tradition in our family that everyone gives me a pressie. Now give me give me

[Margaret Pilkington]

Mick, the best presents don't come under the tree.
