It's got a box, look!






















See, it's a whole different kettle of fish if it's got a box. I'll get £75 easily, as long as it's not a fake box, that is. I'll be putting it in the unit with my big mother-of-pearl fruit knife that I got from Bridgnorth. It'll go nicely with the small mother-of-pearl fruit knife I've got out there. I haven't seen a big one before...

London Fashion Week, Feb 2010

Arrival


Departure



Well, I imagine I'll get more conversation out of this stuffed deer than I've had the past 20 years. Nobody ever talks up in Stoke. The lengths you have to go to. You need to come to London and communicate with a stuffed deer just to stop yourself from going mad...

HAS IT GOT A BOX?!


I've just bought this Dinky Daimler ambulance from Louis Taylor's for £250, so can you find out what it's actually worth? Just look on Ebay and see what other ones have gone for. What? 8 dollars?! Has it got a box? If it's mint and it's got a box, it's worth at least double. Mine's got a box, and these other four I've bought. I tell you though, it's worn me out going and bidding yesterday. I'm going to need my oestrogen levels correcting, only the GP won't let me have any oestrogen unless I stop smoking. And then he tries to explain urinary tract infections to me. They don't realise I saw 22 years' worth of urinary tract infections at the maternity hospital and I'm married to a GP as it is. And to cap it all, they won't let you have any bloody oestrogen. It makes you sick, it really does.

Digital TV

I can't get used to this digital TV. Channel 4+1?What's that supposed to mean? 5? Channel 5, is it? Why can't they just say that? It's worn me out just trying to work out the remote control.
Anyway, that's beside the point. Why don't you want to drive with me for 12 hours from Stoke to the west of Ireland? I don't care if you can get a flight for £30 return and be there in an hour, there won't be any tea rooms in an aeroplane, will there? And I won't be able to bring back any antiques if we take the Ryanair. And they won't have any decent food, will they? Your grandma and I had a wonderful time driving over via Fishguard. Apart from when she started saying she'd never to it again, but she didn't mean it. Like going to Puerto Banus in the height of summer. She loved it really, crippling angina or no crippling angina...
