   Eddie,

   Can you post today's Daily Mirror headline please? It'll be a giggle.

   Well, I thought it was rubbish.

   Only kidding: mesmerised, I was. Thank you so much!

   Fifi ;o)

   I was mesmerised - well actually I was Distracted at Jonnie's, touring the mesmerising exhibition at Wimbourne. However, had I noticed the time, I would have been listening, honest Guv :o)

   Now, that's nonsense, I haven't been maliciously fast at all, this is my first appearance today. Grumble, mumble.....try again

   I was not mesmerised. I was at the vets. None of us was mesmerised. Traumatised maybe... and one of us is definitely showing ill effect this morning. Though the urge not to get out of bed and face the incessant rain and cold is not limited to small hairy parties.

   Oh Val, for goodness sake don't mention the tour.

   It'll be like a red rag to a bull for Eddie. Do you remember what happened the last time nobody listened to PM?

   He went ballistic!

   Oh and I've just had a malicious warning - though probably deserved it.

   Aunt Dahlia, why were your small hairy parts at the vets?!?! On second thoughts, don't tell me.

   Aunt Dahlia (6) - I'm fairly tall and hairy, but I'd still like to come to one of your small hairy parties if possible. I'll bring a bottle!

    Yes, I was mesmerized.......particularly when the weather forecaster (didn't catch who it was last night) pronounced Moray as 'Mawrey' instead of as 'Murry'......oh well another Scotsman grumbling.....a bit like our Eddie I suppose.

    Sigh... Peter R... this is a constant low-level grumble of mine. Pismronunciation of perfectly easily lookable-uppable words.

    Eric, does the Pronunciaton Unit still survive after 'Producer Choice' and all that palaver? If so, who uses them?

    DI, well done, you. Which was your comment?

    Frances - yes it does, as Effie mentioned it recenlt - aout the time of the french presidential election because a fench person took PM to task for mis-pronouncing the name of Nicholas Sarkozy, they got the stress wrong. Abd Eddie said they were pronouncing ti the way the pronounciation unit told them to do it, which is fair enough for spmeone not wanting to lose his job, However the PU are dar from infallible; I was born in a town in County Durham whicih many years ago was trotted out as an example of the sort of place they were asked about - and you know what I'm going to say, dont you? they got it totally wrong!

    Have you been on the pop, admin annie? Or does your keyboard need retraining?

    admin annie - your new pc still getting the better of you then? ;-))

    jonnie - well of course what I meant to say was that I couldn't give PM the fulsome attention that it so obviously deserved, therefore didn't want to comment from a standpoint of uncertainty....
    (think he'll believe that?)

    Aunt D - would that be a new furry party or Sam's alter ego?

    admin annie, some of my favourites are Milngavie (Mullguy) and Strathaven (strayven) in Scotland, and in Hertfordshire, Haultwick (locally Artik) and Furneux Pelham - not in the French style but Furnix Pelham.

    There must be hundreds of others though.

    You lot! Casting aspersions on poor Smudger's attributes.... all who are brave enough are welcome to share the mat under the kitchen table and revel in the cause of the visit, i.e. halitosis of flamethrowing proportions. In our house 'upwind' has a VERY specific meaning. poor lad is apparently allergic to the bacteria his mouth produces. and if that isn't more information than sober people needed I'm of to find a fur coat. is it warm on the beach?

    yes many apologies to froggers for the mishmash that my new (wireless) keyboard produced in my last post, and particular apologies to his lordship for subjecting him to a gender change. He'll have to start signing his newsletters 'Tiresias Muir'.

    It’s all part of the Ancient British Plot to baffle American tourists.

    Beykoards can be difficult so-and-sos at times. and don't be horrid, you lot.

    And as for you, Pann E, you've pointed out a fave of mine, Milngavie. You can sympathise with the people who simplified the pronunciation, can't you? Mill-n-gavie v mullguy: no contest. In fact I've heard it as m'llguy a few times. Fairy nuff.

    Now here's one for anyone who knows the North-East of Scotland: Foot of Dee.
