Although, if you wanted, I could - no? "Not under any circumstances?" Well, we'll see about that -
Anyway, what I wanted to do was simply show you a packet of cheese I bought earlier in the week. Art?
Thus |
The name derives from the place of production, Monterey, and the businessman who first sold appreciable amounts of it, one Mister D. Jack.
So now you know.
Someone needs a haircut ... |
Okay, motley, don't get big-headed just because you were the answer in a crossword.
THESE WORDS ARE ABSURDS!
Alright, alright, I know that's not grammatically correct, but it rhymes, which is what matters.
To what am I referring? Why, the latest Skeleton crossword that I managed to complete, correctly, on my own. Excuse me - ON MY OWN*. There. Art?
Extra-large so you can see every exquisite detail |
BUT STILL**!
A Ashram |
There will now be a short pause as I go downstairs and turn the oven on. All that remaindered food won't cook itself!
A Head For Heights
As you should surely know by now, Conrad's job is at the very highest heights of the Dark Tower in the very middle of Gomorrah-in-the-Irwell, which gives him a very splendid view of all the various tower blocks being built and the 14 cranes visible from his seat without moving.
Conrad is also, to be frank, a nosy rascal. He cannot look at anything without wondering how it works, where it came from and who built it. Art?
The view from my window. (Picturesque but I tend to cook if the sun is out) |
Now, what are they up to? |
Your Humble Scribe rather suspects that they were at least inspecting the windows, maybe even carrying out repairs, as having a two-yard square piece of silicon dioxide fall on your head from that height will chop you in two -
I did mention how nosy I am, didn't I?
This will all make sense on Facebook, I assure you -
Rugs! |
A Head For Frights
Do you see what - O you do. Halloween now being over, Conrad notices that a lot of folks haven't yet taken down the decorations they took ages to put up.
THIS WILL NOT DO! TAKE THEM DOWN IMMEDIATELY!
After all, you now have to put up Bonfire Night decorations, and then after those, the Christmas ones.
Now that, as I said, Halloween is safely behind us, the saga can be told - of Melinda's champion pumpkin. Art?
That's Sue in the background - so scared she dare not turn around ... |
Some More About TANK
Ha! Tricked you, didn't I? You thought you'd gotten away without any more mention of Armoured Fighting Vehicles SIT BACK DOWN you can leave when I've finished.
Once more we return to that revisionist work by Prof. J. Buckley, "BAITNC" (nope, I'm not deciphering it, you'll just have to go back and read those earlier posts), where he points out that, rather than the Oh-So-Mighty Tiger tank, one of the most effective Teuton AFVs was the humble Sturmgeshutz. Art?
Stug with puny humans for scale |
On the plus side (for the crew) it had a very low profile, so it was easier to hide and harder to spot than a hulking 56 ton monster, making it a very efficient "ambush predator". Great for defence, not so hot on the offensive.
Lindybeige showing the love |
Right, we are just over the Compositional Ton and I have a hot lunch waiting, so yah boo sucks to everyone out there, my stomach comes first. Pip pip!
* That is, nearly all on my own.
** When I take over, some crossword compilers are going to have a torrid time of it.
*** A slug! <the horrid truth courtesy Mister Hand>
