After a glorious sunny day it's clouding over again - I hope it snows.

 

You won't believe this...

I just caught two school kids scooping up the snow in our front drive (at work) and videoing each other on their mobiles while they chucked snowballs into the windscreens of passing traffic!!!!

 

I went down and gave them a right rollocking. I'd recognise one of them again - he looked like Uncle Fester!

 

I don't mind them chucking them at each other, but that is dangerous.

 

Gob-smacked of Banbury :shock:

She is a fictitious character on BBC Radio 4's "I'm Sorry , I Haven't Got A Clue".

The comedys at 6.30 every weekday evening on Radio 4 are excellent. My favourite recently has been the phone in spoof (can't remember its name). Brilliant! Anybody else listened to it?

Are you Cross of Banbury too? :wink:

 

Mrs Trellis, surely??

I'm sorry. I haven't a clue about that.

 

It's not just me then! Please explain the joke Phil - am I being very dense here? :oops:

 

Richard's answer was the answer - the R4 show "I'm sorry I haven't a clue"

 

The presenter (Humphrey Littleton - who has great comic timing) always reads out fictitious letters from Mrs Trellis. Her letters are often totally incoherent - and usually come from some unpronounceable town in Wales - and she often gets Humph mixed up with another Radio or TV presenter..

 

here's three examples (except they are probably in the category of "you-had-to-be-there")

 

"A Mrs Trellis of North Wales has written in to complain that the show has "an enormous fistful of rampant innuendo rammed into every crack", but only a truly filthy-minded person would think such a thing."

 

"Dear Mr Titchmarsh: This morning I went out to dig up some dandelions and a giant hogweed on my lawn. The filthy beast! Yours faithfully, Mrs Trellis."

 

"Dear Mr Melly: Here's a great tip for removing any annoying little hairs that collect in the bath plughole: tempt them up with a carrot and pull them out by their long floppy ears."

 

 

well... you did ask!!

:lol: Great stuff.

 

Claim to fame and name dropping here - Humphrey Lyttelton lived near me and I went to art school with his daughter Georgina; we often used to go back to her place after college and her dad was always great fun. :D

 

Wow!! awesome! Humph has great comic timing - and he really does sound like fun!

 

I wonder if his sense of comic timing comes from the jazz?

we record several episodes onto CD and take them on car-journeys - the kids love it - and thankfully the double-entendres (particularly rude re. the lovely Samantha) float miles over my youngest's head!!

Well I was awake feeding Archie at 4.30am this morning and thought I'd left the garden light on but then realised the light was coming in around the edges of the curtains on all sides of the house and I guessed it was snow reflecting light everywhere....and I was right. I was so excited for my daughters to see snow and yes they were excited when they woke, but by daybreak it was nothing like the 4.30am fall - most of it had already melted!! :roll:

 

Angel GNR didn't want to step on it and I had to coax her out with some rice to enable the other two to get a look in on breakfast. I'm trying to think of a way that I can secretly photograph them together with their unawares. They come running as soon as I open the door.

Absolutely beautiful here in Sheffield today.

 

Blue Sky....brilliant sunshine.....freezing cold.

 

The hens water was solid blocks of ice first thing.

 

It snowed heavily last night on and off for a couple of hours. Very little sign of it this morning.

 

Apparently there is more to come next week.

Snow again here this morning. I drove to work in quite heavily falling snow with daughter beside me in the car crossing her fingers and wishing for it to keep snowing all day and be nice and thick by the time she gets home from school.

My fingers were tightly crossed too (made steering difficult :roll: ), but strangely I wasn't making quite the same wish :oops::oops::oops:

No more snow for us either, apart from the sleet as I left work last night. But it was -3 this morning and the remaining snow (we have a fair bit) was frozen solid, so the roads are ok, but the paths and gardens are treacherous.

 

Our snow disappeared by lunchtime yesterday and was followed overnight by a hard frost. Poor Carl is having to carry water in buckets for the cows - up a ladder and over the side of the barn :roll:

 

Blimey, sounds like an extreme sport - he'll be so darned fit doing that - bet he'd be able to beat me at circuit training :wink:
