Caution: Elderly person gripeing and ranting. : comments [Welcome to my perfumed garden]

::joins you in the old farts' corner::

I was hanging in there till they got to the rubbish with the worms. The thud you heard was me keeling over with boredom.

I love the Natural History Museum - the blue whale was the first love of my life - so I'll probably struggle through the rest, but I wish they'd stop pratting about.

My attention started to wander midway, by the time we got to the nervy gel rubber-painting the feathery fossil I was getting crotchety, when we got to the worms I was ready to start writing letters to the Telegraph. Yes, I really was that cross.

Pratting about - Yes! This. Your choice of words - perfect as always. ::nods vehemently::

Yes! Letters to the Telegraph... I feel them coming on more and more often. I shall be a strange bearded old lady with a spiteful Biro. And probably quite soon *g*

And who was the nervy gel anyway? Could have slapped her, so I could.

I ought to go and get my gin and Horlicks and calm myself *g*

Your style, I like it. I have neither gin nor Horlicks but if I did I'd be joining you. I might partake of a glass of Shiraz, though, in celebration of the fact that The Voice Of Reason aka David Mitchell is on now.

I really like the idea of a spiteful biro but have to say, I think a shotgun would be quicker and cleaner.

I'm happy to confess I didn't know who any of them were, and who are these Beatles anyway?

Oh thank god - I thought it was just me... and yes, a shotgun has definite merits ::nods crankily::
