I suffer from a smidgeon of blandishment, particularly at weekends when I seem to be the one of many in this house who ends up having to walk the dog.

Begorrah! - That’s a real load of blarney.

'Ere, no peeking, PH! :-|

What I get up to in my own house is my concern :-P :-D :-D :-D

I Reckon that our neighbours take bets on whether I'll make it up the steps into the back garden, or, like the Grand Old Duke of York, get stuck halfway up (or down) :-D :-D :-D

Actually, going up the steps sozzled is easier, and not as dangerous, as coming down them :-S :-D :-D :-D

Quiz game ... Blandety Bland. Graeme/Graham someone used to chair it.

OMG this is the quiz cos I can neither recall his surname nor the country it was televised in.

I am certain that some of you will remember it.

Completely bland leading the bland now. :-0

I love a sunburnt country,
A bland of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown bland for me!
