Southampton

By Gum, Yes
Although before we get onto that subject, first let the Intro go off on a wild tangent not remotely connected with anything*.
     Actually this does concern yesterday, when Conrad bought a new, cheap pocket calculator.  This meant the old, unreliable one was surplus to requirements, and you might reasonably expect it to go in the bin.
     You might.  Not Conrad.  Oh no. Being inquisitive, not to mention curious and - frankly - downright nosey, he unscrewed the casing and pulled the unfortunate product of China apart.

The sum total ...

      I've kept the rubber keypad for sentimental reasons but the rest is now in the bin

"Anticrastination"
Conrad was originally going to subsume this under the post on "Procrastination", but space and time did not permit.  In fact your humble scribe wasn't sure the word even existed, but it does, as an antonym** of Procrastination.
     So what does it mean? 
     To get on with things, not to delay, avoiding diversions, not beating about the bush, "Git R Done", meeting the challenge - exactly what this explanatory sentence is not doing, in other words.
     And for the Latin breakdown, go back to Thursday's blog.

Italy.
(Antipasti nation. Close enough)

Weevils
Conrad is happy to have come across another maligned, misbegotten and misanthropic creature beginning with the letter "W".  The use of this letter is entirely arbitrary and BOOJUM! may in future jump to another letter at random***.
     So!  The weevil.  These are small beetles usually under 6mm in length, herbivorous, often of a black or brown colouration.  What are they good for?

The weevil.  Not so much evil as amoral

     Er - not a lot.  If you bambakomallophobic^, or triticumphobic^^, then Hurrah!  Because  the Boll Weevil destroys cotton crops, and the Flour Weevil infests old flour.  You could still use the flour but - it would have "additional nutrition" and is probably not veggie-safe.

We, Evil.  Close enough

Our Dainty Cat
None of that sticking-your-face-in-the-bowl for our princess, oh no.  Here is Jenny:

Impeccable table manners

     Licking the milk off her paws, as she is so well-brunged up.

 Southampton
 - Docks, that is.

     Conrad has been there himself, twice.  After all, you travel through the town to get to the port, and when the cruise ends you travel out again.

A horizontal hotel, a.k.a. "A Cruise Ship"

     The port also plays a substantial role in my zombie novel "Revelations"; it is the test area for the tactics and weapons used to remove the zombies and reclaim urban territory.  Considerable two-way traffic with "The Island" (i.e. The Isle of Wight where a rump government resides) takes place and anyone on the Island who fails to hit targets, slacks off, skives, steals, dithers, idles or procrastinates, gets sent to Southampton for House Clearing Duties.
     What's that?
     Good grief, did you know that there's actually one of those football teams living in Southampton!  They play in the Primer^^^ League.

"Egad!  Surely not!"

* What's new?
** The opposite of a particular word.  "BOOJUM!" is pretty much the antonym of "sensible".
*** Not "X" or "Z", however.  Too challenging!  And "Q" is looking a bit wobbly, too.
^ Fear of cotton
^^ Fear of flour. Actually I had to create this one myself.  But it does exist!
