Anything to do with Big Brother will be fine for me Calum.
Arnish Lighthouse from Stornoway
The Collected Wit and Wisdom of Drovers Lane, Penrith volumes 1 - 99.
Flying Cat from on a bookshelf
I would like to bury the entire Letterland series of kid's books and anything by Dickens....or Jeremy Godwin for that matter.
BoB from Lewis
So many things, so little time. I would start with the Arnish Lighthouse, he would clearly be good company for Jeffrey Archer. Do you have enough room for a couple of call centres and some celery (surely the work of the devil)?
Tony from London
I totally agree - celery goes in. Supermarket strawberries that cost a fortune, sold at a 'bargain' price and go off before you get them home. And dear old Margaret Thatcher goes in. And Edwina Currie. and a couple of my old headteachers. Arnish Lighthouse comes out!! He's a fellow blogger - this isn't Lord of the Flies. The Royal Bank - the bit that charges overdraft fees. And finally the person who invented a door alarm to sell to kids to stick on their bedroom door 'for fun' so that when you sneak in to their room it goes off AT TOP VOLUME...

Nothing wrong with celery (provided you put some crunchy peanut butter on it). Looks to me, dear Tony, as if you benefit from sniffing good quality garlic cloves ....

Yes but the celery would have to be wrapped separately from the call centres.

Chrissie Mary's a bit concerned about the burial of Good Books and is keen to keep her library of first editions intact. If pushed, she'd be prepared to give up some of the more contemporary works such as those by Argos, but she's most reluctant to part with her classic editions by J D Williams, Oxendales, etc.

Celery in????? What will I stir my Bloody Mary with? The horror!
Tired Father from Sebastopol Ketelwerks
Well, this effin computer for starters, wait for it wait for it, its bound to crash any moment now. Sidney Devine. What about a temporary holding area for teenagers until they become normal people again, oh, HRH says they already have that, its called bording school.
GrannyE. DBE.RM from Auchenshuggle
GrannyE, how do you stir a Bloody Mary with an effin computer? And if only Sydney Devine were a book, on a shelf with Thelma one day at a time whatsername and Des O'Connor, all trapped between the pages for ever and ever, it would be 'a wonderful world, beautiful people' . Get a Mac, they never crash. Meeeowoof!
Flying Cat from thufferin' thesaurus
Does this mean that Sunny wouldn't have crashed if she'd been wearing a mac? This could be a real breakthrough in terms of taxi drivers' dress codes.
Annie B from the usual
the crazy frog has to go in (I sent a comment a few days ago, Is IBHQ needing to renoodle???)
jas from second time around
"Canoodle" Josh. Re-noodle is something you do when the first batch was not al dente but quite murdered. Become "jas from the third time around" and you might be lucky: stranger things have happened. It's all Graham belated reprisal (kidding, Graham), randomly distributed, for the sins of those folks who repeated their comments twice (even thrice!) because their finger had spasms, a consequence of too much Marag eating and Unst beer swilling.
mjc from NM,USA
If macs become de rigeur with taxi drivers, dress code must include voluminous undergarments, wearing of, at all times. If not, one flashing td could have us all off the road, scaphoids and metatarsels flying hither thither and yonder.
Flying Cat from pondering on perversity
Dear Tired Father, have you tried prodding Bloody Mary if she needs to stir? Or you could get her an alarm clock. Or a teasmade. Or a cockerel. Hope this helps
Lurker from Lewis
The smug, arrogant quack of a consultant I had to go all the way to the mainland and spend 拢50 return and a days wages to see only to be left waiting for hours, then they X-rayed me with the plaster on, then left me sitting around again then the consultant told them to take the plaster off. He had a quick look then said he couldn't tell from the x-ray if its broken but "probably" not... sent me home in a splint. So my wrist swelled up & I had to go to the local hospital where they showed me the x-ray and where the break was quite obvious and put me back in plaster.... Never setting foot in Crosshouse again if I can avoid it.
Sunny from Land of itch & pain
Sorry to hear about your suffering and frustration, Sunny. Curious: why did you not get the X ray done and read at the local hospital to begin with? Anyway, hope you were able to grab a Dunkin Donut - with your functioning hand/wrist - while you were on the mainland. Comfort food always helps.
