Chess.

Life certainly changed whilst I was away. 

Take games as an example,they now have

lady Bishop chess sets and the Castles must 

be fitted with disabled toilets. The pawns have 

formed a union and the knights daren't jump without 

permission from air traffic control. On top of all that, the 

Queen isn't speaking to the King because he gave away his 

kingdom for a horse. Things will never be the same on 

Walton's mountain.

And even more pushy Editors.

"Great Scott man, is that book on the Arctic ready yet?"


"This chap Darwin, if it's only a theory can't he sort it out before we publish?"


"Well that's great your Royal Highness, yes we can call it The Bible and name it after you but shouldn't you be running the country? Anyway, the cheques in the post Jim."

Visitor.

A visitor to my door asked "Have you seen 

the light?" Being a bit grumpy I replied "For 

goodness sake man If you've lost something 

put posters on lamp-posts like everyone 

else."

A bicycle is the acoustic version of a motorbike.

Christianity

Christianity only spread slowly due to 

idleness, if people had re-tweeted the 

process would have gone viral.

Death Valley.

Death Valley is now on Amazon and it is the fourth in the Cuthbert series. An inspection of Cuthbert's graveyard causes him to check his burial records only to find that he had BURIED them instead of one of the bodies. New characters appear and some disappear, between the living and the dead nobody is sure where anybody is but it doesn't stop them looking in all the wrong places. An unexpected offer of help comes from a rival undertaker who seems to be rather cosy with the valley mafia which is like trying to trick the Devil out of his inheritance. Once again the inhabitants of the valley ride forth only to come in fifth.

And more snakes.

Actually if I adder snake I would wear a feather boa to protect my neck and hope that no-one grasses me up before Cameron calls a meeting of Cobra. I daren't tell the redhead because it would rattler.

Boa.

My Boa-Constrictor is missing but the new scarf the redhead bought me is lovely.

Facebook.

Keeping up with technology is hard. When I joined my kids pages and they said "WTF Dad?" I thought it meant 'Welcome To Facebook.'

Rocky.

Why is it that every time the redhead enters the room I hear the theme from Rocky?

The Navy.

Why does the Navy allow sub-tweets, aren't they a security risk?

Moths

Had a giant winged creature in the house today, I think it was a Red Baron moth. Imagine the mess if it had been a Sopwith Camel.

Lovers.

Should a lover be the person we would date if we could clone ourselves?

Small World

It's a small world isn't it? I no sooner got my ducks in a row and I had an e-mail from Elmer Fudd.

FBI wanted list.

I don't understand the FBI's ten most wanted list. Why don't they just keep them when they come in for the photo?
