September 13 lunchbox

My brain is still turning, but in a direction which is pushing me towards the back of the post office queue.



When in times of strife, remember there are two types of women. Imagine this. Ration cards in hand and a butcher with produce few. But a smile from wife group A melts his heart and a few kindly words fly back and forth across the counter. Wife group A returns home with more meat than she should... but dad and children are so pleased.

Wife group B just gets her family allowance right on the nose, like an ageing prize fighter, somewhat relieved just hours before the sound of that familiar bell, with his wryly old trainer standing intensely behind the scales.

Come on its 2007, not 1943!






Sorry about that. Of course there are many types of women and indeed there are many different shades inside just one. It all depends on circumstances as to which one [more than one? Well that's common too] takes centre stage at any particular time.
As for men, there are many different types of men on this planet. Some need plenty of sleep and time to weep.

Was feeling rather hungry this morning on the account of being all macho and going to the gym at such an early hour. Chocolate Crunch went first, followed by the banana and then t

A podcast on the Welsh Forgetter of the Year. TO HEAR THE BARDS in ACTION CLICK HERE, DIOLCH! BREAKFAST: Very good bowl of Branflakes THE WALK to WORK. SUN was radiating as I ambled down what was a POSTCARDESQUE River Taff Trail this morning. Was i-Podless so had the full symphony of bird song, interspersed with the chimes of the Clock Tower of Cardiff Castle. THE LUNCHBOX 4 salmon sandwiches(tinned variety)with a hint of lemon juice. 1 plum 1 banana 1 Toffee flavoured Muller Light Yoghurt. 2 Chocolate digestive biscuits. TRUST ME MY WIFE IS A MAGISTRATE. Biscuits went early, followed by the fruit then the sandwiches just before midday. Saving the yoghurt until later RANDOM THOUGHT 2021: THE opening of the first TESCO UNIVERSITY, where students are schooled in Tescology, is delayed after members of the ANTI-TESCO league chain themselves to supermarket trollies in the offices of the Vice-Chancellor, located at the end of the Frozen Food aisle of the new campus
