  What did I say? I said, "I'm going up North to see my aunty and I won't be around for a bit". I may not have actually said "Do not let the pixies get at the Green Ginger and Vinegar ointment" but surely that could be implied from my parting bon mot "Don't let the pixies get at the Green Ginger and Vinegar ointment'.

When graphic artists were called upon to personify gear-wheels as a cartoon character for advertisements, traditionally they showed them with expressions that are at best neutral or inexpressive. This went on for centuries. John Ptak remarked on it:Anthropomorphic images of the Gear have appeared in books in the West for several hundred years, and in almost every case where the Gear has a face,

Snap coiffure inspection! Here is a typical scene from 1893, after newspaper reports that tightly-bound hair-styles are a risk factor for getting stuck in spiderwebs. The Guardian of the Belgian Revolution -- a state-sanctioned vigilante defender of public morality -- is checking the young ladies' chignons. A summary scalp-shaving awaits if any are found to be too tight.But the haircut hysteria

A spray of what, we ask? Antiperspirant? Deodorant? Matt varnish? Check the can carefully, we warn, in case it is old stockpiled CFC aerosol and the Prime Minister is hoping to discredit the activists with photographs of them damaging the ozone layer.More charitably, perhaps it was a "lovely spray of pink and peach gladioli" which "will express your loving sentiments in a most generous way."

If there is one thing I have learned from considering her ways, it is that ants cannot be trusted in a Scrabble game for they are inveterate cheats. Evangeline van Holsterin carelessly left her idiot boyfriend in charge of her tiles for one round while she nipped back into the bar.

Competitive Double-Dutch Skipping is hard enough with the ropes. It does not become any easier when someone... not naming names... but it was obviously someone's turn to bring the ropes while the practice session is so far notable for its pronounced state of ropelessness.

Such  country is largely hoping not to be noticed all that much except for tourism (huge tracts of scenery).

Riddled may certainly have devoted more space to Morgellons than to other factitious diseases, but there is no call for insults like this:Is Morgellons a mutant immortal fungus they gave us in their efforts to stop an edible ugly growth called Smut, on corn that God gave us?SHA'N'T BE BACK.

I realise that anyone buying stamps these days rather than e-mailing or Twaddling or Facepalming is probably of a certain get-off-my-lawn vintage. So it makes perfect business sense for the New Zealand Post Office to target that generation and their rose-tinted-hindsight nostalgia for the better days of the past, with special stamp issues commemorating television programs of four or five decades

“Every barrel of oil that comes out of those sands in Canada is a barrel of oil that we don’t have to buy from a foreign source,” Mr. Perry said in Clarinda, earning a loud round of enthusiastic applause.North Texan residents should get used to placenames like 'Amarillo Cuchillo' rather than 'Yellowknife'.The literary precedents also suggest an investment in a powered exoskeleton.

The upper entrance to Deliverance. Evidently New Zealanders do not like skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; or rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim.Ideally the sign would have warned against "tree-trunks all 'sclusively speckled and sprottled and spottled, dotted and splashed and slashed and hatched and cross-hatched with shadows". At least it's not in Papyrus.

Now when I were a lad there were no support groups and role models for multiple-personality wannabees.
