Subject: In my defence...

Fletch,

I cannot believe the slating my last mail got - the 'net' is a medium free from 
admonishments such as 'Never start a sentence with a conjunction' and other such
twoddle, causing you to glare at your indefinate pronouns for hours on end before
commiting them to the ether. No! It's where the kids can glibbly split infinitives
and superlate their superlatives in safety - they are free to express themselves
naturally, hence giving the text that chatty feeling without which we might as well
be scribing on willow parchment some Sonnet or other and dispatching the footman
to put it on the next stage!  

Well, now that's off my chest (and what a chest!) a quick weekend anecdote - All
was going to plan for Jacks and my customary chinese and video evening.  The chinese
was in the oven keeping warm and 'remains of the day' was awaiting the pleasures of the
video recorder when Jacks arrives, brandishing, what? NO! Horror!  I cannot believe it!
She too has bought the chinese AND NOT ONLY THAT, SHE EVEN BOUGHT THE SESAME SEED
PRAWNS!!!  I cannot believe it!! TWO CHINESES!  So we spend the evening TOTALLY
BLOATING ourselves, but still had to through away the beef with green pepper and black
bean sauce (Mk II) and freeze the egg-fried rice (Can this be done anyone?).  What
a tragedy.

Well, catch you all later, but Ladz please note - the chinese and video evening could
be only one small 'ello darlin' away from you all! Beware!
