Jumbo Jet effluent is bad enough, thanks ...



Reference Elephants flying leads on to pigs flying, I wonder what happened
to mabbett, don't see too much of his 'net nanny' activities these days.


And still with pigs flying - what chance you can stop sniping at Mabbett?

I don't think this is sniping. I think that, given what Mike did to Andy,
this is sadism, followed by gloating, as we see above. It is genuine
wickedness, IMO.

I haven't seen any posting from Andy Mabbett for some time, the last one I
can recall being an 'alert' to a TV (that's television, by the way)
programme which he thought might be of interest to that ng's readers.
Whatever he was like in the past, he's certainly not a 'net-nanny' now.

I've seen it posted that he was suffering from MS, but have no idea whether
that was accurate.

I am very sorry to hear that, even as a not-confirmed. Is anyone in touch
with him by email? Answers by email if preferred. If he has got MS, the
last thing he needs is stress, too.

LOL! You know, two days away and I really missed this lovely lil' shed.
Bring a couple of cushions with you next time and mine's a red wine.
Ta.

Which reminds me. I have a confession to make ... I had promised some
chinese seeds to my friend too, and between her and Bertie (he has
received his seeds now) they've all gone. There's none for you. Is that
ok? What did I say I'd send you?!

Trype?! Perhaps that Marquis of yours is a regular visitor, n'est ce
pas ;o) There's a lovely young French girl staying with us for another
3 weeks. She's all smile and will enter a new college in January to
learn about wine - she already has quite some experience, qualified in
wine waitressing and all that. Her knowledge doesn't extend to grape
growing though and I found this quite strange. You'd think they'd learn
about it. I was waiting for our loft work to finish to start making
preps to plant 2 vines on my south facing wall. Sadly she cannot
recommend anything.

However she brought us, as presents, a Chateau du Juge Cru Quinette,
Roc de Calon and Chateau du Juge Blanc moelleu ... Can't wait for that
Christmas diner I tell you !!

I really can't remember - doesn't matter. Runners ready for dispatch,
and honesty seeds are drying out.


You are too kind. I must find something to send you. Incense plant,
Calomeria amaranthoides - you know? Never grown it yet - but I can
share my packet :o)
