Morning meerkat - the cold's much better today, thanks. I was let down last night on the Veggy Cough Remover front - still haven't got my crubeens on it - but am looking forward to sampling it. I hope you're well (apart from that painful peeling thing you're doing with your little eyes!)

Morning JJ. I feel better today, thank you, and am glad to hear that you managed to scrub all the nasty gubbins off your suit. Today's outfit sounds really lovely! I particularly like your taste in shirts, but I'm v. sorry to hear about the little spots on your tie. Do you think it might be contagious? I wouldn't get too close if I were you.

sfh legs - I have <snuffle> no toys at all in my little sty <piglet's little lip begins to tremble>.

I'd like an Action Pig, please, and I think a little bouncy ball would be fun :-)

(Umm.... Would some sort of video game machine be out of the question?)

bounce! bounce! bounce!

WW Quidditch is the broomstick-bound game played by Harry Potter and chums. Sort of Aussie Rules goalposts with basketball hoops on played in 3D on a sort of polo sized pitch. Judging by your picture you'd be pretty good at it (is that a Nimbus 2000? Mrs Fox flies one of those...)

BTW have you seen a post on Gear thread (Asics DS trainers) by 'Run 4 your life'? Deja vu or what?

Well Wee P the new Euro directive is cleary snuffing out the right sort of truffles for piglets. The thought of toys really does seem to have brightened up our poor cold and snuffly piggywig.

Apparently this is necessary to stop piglets chewing each other.

so:

A piglet on a rebounder - too dangerous trotters would slip through the webbing
A piglet playing video games - not really "environemental enrichment
An action man : the thought of a piglet chewing on an "action man" makes me blush
A nice bouncy ball, now thats the sort of "manipulable material" the man form the ministry had in mind.

keep squealing

WW
Guess you don't need any more explanation!

Piglet.
Actually the spots could be tomato pips or from saucering my tea when it's too hot - or just from inconsiderate sneezers.
Have you thought of reclining in the trough with a decent crossword?

Witchie.
I've been meaning to ask this for a long time. What's the names of your two friends in Macbeth. I need to know 'cos I think they work here. Definitely test pilot material for a broom factory.

Piglet - I'll buy you an Action Pig and then smuggle is past sfh legs by cunningly wrapping it in a pair of wicking briefs. Damn those regs, I say, they're there to be flouted.

JJ Don't you mean 'the Scottish play'? Some people can be superstitious...

Wee P if you want a game for your sty how about Porktionary?

Welcome. I've been looking at a close-up of your mug shot and you don't look quite of this world. Where do you come from? Is it north of Watford? You're not the Inland Revenue man that's following me are you?

Desert Fox.
Us Virgos (yesterday's postings q.v.) have to be superstitious otherwise our luck might change and the Zodiac wiould be one short.
Anyway, I quite like that Lady Macbeth woman. Pushy broad she is. Seems quite clear about what she wants in life. I saw her in a building in Stratford and she looked quite dishy as well.

What's all this got do with running?

Yeh, JJ, but what about the damn spot?
Helen W, if you're about, I'd love to hear how your visit to Ron the Pod went...

Hi JJ - are you telepathic in saying 'us virgos' as I'm one of those (virgos I mean of course). My running times are also remarkably similar to yours.

OMG I'm a clone. Or he's my dad...

Johnny J

Desert Fox
I've checked the list and I don't think I'm your dad but I used to practice being a milkman so anything's possible.
If you'd like to raise the matter at a family meeting I'd be happy to attend and see if anyone recognises me.
Anyway, it's not possible 'cos I'm a VIRGO see! Get It?

Going to a meeting in a minute (I called it) so will be quiet for about three days or until the meeting comes up with my ideas - whichever is the earlier.

Quicker meeting than I thought. Those who don't have sugar in their tea/coffee will get two free biscuits a month. Runners will get both.
