Perhaps a whole leaf was too much
I should have had a lighter touch
Just a little bit of cress
But not the Eton Mess
Even though I wanted it so much.

Down in the Jungle they eat horrid things
And sit round in groups to have a good sing
They gather together to have a chat
About different things, and this and that

Thank you for the suggestions.  However, I have now decided definitely what to get Marge.  A dressing gown.
(She asked for it!)

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 08:47:50 PMI used to have a compressor that plugs in the car lighter socket but some time back I found low usage (so probably covid days) was leading to the battery struggling so I got a quick starter device and that had a compressor built in. It does need topping up every so often as if it goes flat it's useless.

So far I've used it to blow up a tyre when it got a puncture and neighbours cars a couple or more times but as yet never my own.

I have such a plug in compressor.  I have only used it a couple of times, but I think it's advisable to leave the engine running (ticking over will do) whilst it is in use.

I was 13 at the time. I knew who Kennedy was and saw the TV circus that followed but none of it sunk in as being of any real importance at the time.

Elvis yes I knew but that was about it.

9/11 I was old enough to recognise the importance. Just as I was later to realise that invading Iraq was likely to cause problems as had other American military adventures and here was our PM putting us at the forefront. Well that little adventure as well as killing some Americans and Brits and large numbers of Iraqis destabilised the middle east and went a long way to importing terrorism here. Well done Mr. Blair.
