south wind so hear the roar of the jets echoing off the houses as they take off away from me at BHX

from my mail box:-

what is a sprain in Danish?
en forstuvning - måske også forstrækning,
varmepude og ikke bære tunge ting

thanks
I had that word in my head
but having learned it in danish didn't have the link to english

weather on GMTV
- 6 degreess outside but a steady 22 in here without any heating on apart from TV and my bodyheat - my bedclothes made me sweat so slept under a cover without the quilt - well insulated

And yesterday's comedy in English parliament
5 guys made a demo inside
they got in via the back stairs with 3000 police outside

Keystone cops

all about the end of hunting foxes with a pack of hounds
Google Search: demo Parliament
